Oh btw pike, I think I've been sending emails to an old account of yours that you don't check/have access to any longer? How can I contact
I have just finished the Bomb story and I really enjoyed it. My favourite bits were: 1) descriptions of the pre-Unification museums which made me think of Pamuk's Musem of Innocence in Istanbul; 2) "Telling, sometimes, is to watch someone, and to not pretend you weren’t looking when they notice."

Okay, I have just put 2 and 2 together! But...I was always here. It was you who went missing, Rat mag link went down and everything disappeared. What happened?

Thanks for bringing me to your website with your follow. Love the art, very cool how you can switch between different styles so seamlessly.

Thank you so much for the kind words! Speaking of words, you're good at writing them, and I like how you've arranged your site. Glad I found it!

Re internet memory #2: interesting that you mention creating lots of accounts. The author of the article you linked to mentions not bothering to feed her Neopets as a kid since they couldn't die. Maybe I'm the sensitive kid here. I could never! The Pound was a constant heartache for me, just its bare existence :)

The pound was so sad!! Sounds contradictory but I didn't care that much for the pet aspect of the game... I liked to explore, play games and attempt to make lots of neopoints. However, I HATED seeing the sad/sick pictures so I kept my current pets fed/healthy, but out of sight, out of mind I guess lol

In Balloon: "You don't lie a life if you never play ball" - I assume that's "live a life"?

Hello! I have excitingly managed to fat-finger not only my own response to your comment on my site, but also your original comment. Sorry about that, it wasn’t personal haha! Thank you for reaching out, it was really nice to hear that you enjoyed reading my stuff. And it’s a good thing you ended up on Neocities rather than Neopets - you don’t know want to know what’s happened to Neopets…

I'm probably too old to be playing Meerca (sp?) Chase anyway (but then...). Anyway, I do enjoy digging through your site so I will surely sprinkle some random comments in the future :)
Hi and thanks for the follow. Btw: there's nothing simple about cacio e pepe, don't believe what people say! I've tried making it and ended up with A TERRIBLE MESS

My secret for cacio e pepe is to have someone else do the "stir rapidly to emulsify" step, 10/10 would recommend

A-ha! Shame I only find this out now that I'm done with dairy. It makes total sense.

Thanks for the follow and hello! Funnily, I also live in the north of England and just last night had a conversation along the lines of "should we move somewhere else like the Netherlands" : )

Er, that's weird. I've just tested both e-mail handles (agne@ and pike.malarkey@) and they seem to be working ok. That said, I sent you a story yonks ago but I never received a reply so maybe it's connected? I'll drop you a line on your two e-mails (ratmag and personal), tell me if you get them.
Ok, the ratmag e-mail bounced. The other one should go through?
Personal went through
