Jamal, where aaaaaaaaaare you?!
*keeps cellphone in non-silent state within handreach and frantically (and fruitlessly) searchs for your e-mail*
Four days going on five and I haven't heard anything from you. Do something that'll let me know you're still out there and alive.
...please?

*wilts guiltily under the glare of many many AIMers* Oops?
Well, I'm trying to fix that right now. In fact, I've got Des, Ginny, and Jeff all talking to me. But...*mopes*

Shannon and Greg's last day is on Monday. Mom and I are getting along better. Life moves on.

But--!

Ah, I should go pay proper attention to my AIMers now. *wanders off*
