It's always about me, me, me, isn't it?

This is what I've just thought after I started to type this post. I was about to tell you all (and anyone else who drives by) that my absence from LJ will probably prolong a little while longer, but then I realised that no-one notices one's absense if one doesn't point it out explicitly (I admit, I rarely do) (Which doesn't mean I don't like you all, I'm just not all that observant). Anyway, I don't have an Internet connection at home at the moment (a rather long moment, I admit), and I can't be bothered to interact with fandom from some public Internet facilities or others (the library, mostly). I still read my f-list religiously every day, but I rarely comment. I also read all received comments religiously, but I often don't answer. The reason for my silence is not my ignoring you; however, I more and more feel that I don't have anything new to contribute, which I why I save my breath (so to speak) and remain silent. As interesting as I find many ideas/concepts/theories/discussions, I don't think that anything I add will give them an interesting new direction.

So, I am still here, but I am lurking around invisibly. I might spam you a bit more with stories of drunken revels with young boys, but even those get tedious after some time. If I owe you a comment, a mail or money, it is nothing personal. Honestly.

I felt I should say that, because I owe plenty of comments, and I don't think I'll ever catch up on them. But believe me, I wouldn't say anything insightful anyway.

For the longest time, I had only the library computer to access HP fanfic and forum sites that I liked to visit. Sometimes it can be really embarassing if you click a link and a picture of two characters humping eachother with no warning. Plus that, it takes forever to respond to comments and you just don't want to waste the time doing that when you don't have access at home where it's much easier.

Exactly. It's a viscious circle: I'm unable to interact on a regular basis, therefore unable to reply to all my emails and comments, and therefore, I don't post much, because I don't want commenters to feel neglected. *sighs* And I hardly click on art links these days (and only after checking that no-one's standing behind me). No Internet is teh suck.
