She was someone I cared for. But she's gone now.

As in... gone, gone?

No more like "went out to the shops for a packet of crisps and never came back" gone.

Oh... ghosted gone.

Yup.

I hate people who just ghost. I mean how hard is it to just say goodbye (or even "f[BLEEP]k off") just to give some closure? You're always worried if they're alive or dead and they're probably totally unconcerned on their end.

The way you gotta deal with folks like that is "they were close friends, until they weren't." and then just let them go.

Unless you're a Ghostbuster!!

...Well yeah that's sorta their job, sis.

Changing gears, as a creative who often suffers from writer's / artist's blocks, I've found this video quite informative. (I'd say helpful, but I've yet to get off my arse, so...)

The secret, Paise, is to just not try

Thanks for that, Haruka Simpson :P

This here's neat! There's still a company out there givin' out prizes fer collectin' points on their candies!

I'm old enough to remember when you still got toys in your damn cereal

I kinda remember that? But by my day it was just bits of cardboard in a plastic pouch, then nothing.

I once got a small pewter figure in a Cracker Jack box.

...Christ you're old X

These days if you find an object in your Cracker Jack it's a factory accident and your prize is a dead insect or animal.

IN THE GRIMDARK FUTURE OF MANKIND THOSE WILL BE THE BEST PRIZES! MUAHAHAHAHAAHAHA!
