Right then

Yes, I have essentially dropped off the face of the Bloggersphere for 3 months. I've been over on Livejournal for the most part, hiding my face amid a crowd of friends-locked posts. Not even friends-locked; I've mostly been communicating with a tiny tiny cluster of fellow magickos and interested punters via a special filter which allows only the opt-in crowd to read my stuff.

I am chickenshit. I admit it.

However, I'm minded to resurrect this treadmarked bitch, and will commence by linking you to the lj entry in which I attempt to explain why I've been quiet.
