For various reasons I am again moving my blog and whatnot, but this time to a far more permanent solution: my own domain name (which I've had for quite some time, but have used almost entirely for email only).

I intend to keep my LJ account active, but mainly for the purposes of staying updated on various friends-only postings and being able to comment/etc.

You should go check it out!

...You are awesome!

You made my Evolution filtering work properly again, which is a huge necessity for my being productive. You are hereby added, again, to the list of people to whom I owe both a gigantic hug and a drink of their choice, at the very least, should we ever meet in person. Thanks for making my life a little simpler and a lot more readily organized!

Regards,
A Grateful Peter
 

To whom it may concern:

Your attempted usage of "was like," "is like," and similar phrases consisting of a copular conjugation prepended to the word "like" is not a proper verbum dicendi. English has a myriad of ways to introduce a quotative clause, especially (though not limited to) transitive and ditransitive verbs involving speech such as (also not hereto limited) "to say," "to speak," "to tell," "to inform," and others. The english language is filled with different ways to express that someone said (or says, et al.) something: each with their appropriate and inherent variation in exact meaning or method by which that something is, was, or would be said.The language is there to more fully express oneself and more clearly define verbal actions. I suggest it be used as such.

Thank you.
