Miao on My Mind was way too slow to combo, and I’ve been meaning to dismantle it for a while now. With a final push from ghostlightning, I got off my ass and did it. Welcome home, master. This is notdotq again.

Does this mean I’ve stopped hating Jason?

No.

Does this mean I’ve become less of an asshole?

Fuck no.

So what does this mean, you ask?

I’m taking a step back from shit. Twitter and the fast pace of the aniblogosphere are too much for me right now. I want to be writing, not keeping up with trolling/drama. I’m not saying good-bye; I’m merely waving from across the street.

I’m still _here_.

I’ll blog Maria-sama ga Miteru 4 as promised. I’ll keep working on OH! I’ll keep up the collab work with ghostlightning and lelangir. And I’ll keep trolling. But I’m going to be less active, and a better platform for such neutrality is one that does not scream “I am Jason Miao!” “I hate Jason Miao!” I said I wouldn’t rely on my hatred of him in the Anime Blog Awards this year, and I meant it.

I’ll still participate.

I’ll still win.

But it will be with these two hands, dubbed satire and Midori.

*ahem*

I’ve got some resolution for the new year up at Dreams of the Quill. Only a few, really. ‘sphere, what are your thoughts on the new year? Anything you’d like to change in 2009?

And is there anything you’d like to see from me?
