Life has a funny way of interrupting the little time that I have to concentrate on my writing. Some wonderful things have happened over the last couple of months and some terribly devastating things have come along right  behind them. That's life though, right? Anyway, apart from a comment here and there, I haven't been around. Did you miss me? Did you even notice I was gone? ;)

I'm going to try to catch up on the PM's I haven't answered and the posts of my friends. If there's anything you've written that you'd like me to know about, just leave a link in the comments and I promise I'll get to it.

Oh and guess WHAT! Some of you may remember the post I wrote about my engagement to Henry Rollins. Henry wasn't aware of our pending nuptials, but I'm here to tell you that things are definitely moving in the right direction. As part of a campaign to raise public awareness about Australia's internet filter, I was asked to email certain celebrities that have expressed concern about internet regulation and invite them to help out with spreading the word. As Henry is coming to Australia, he was one of the celebrities that I emailed. I received a reply a couple of days later, and I have to say, things are looking good for Henry and I. Here is what he wrote:

Natalie, hi. Thanks for the letter. It's a matter I have been thinking about. The thing that is most curious to me is that Australia is the last place to promote such censorship and the last place where the citizenry will tolerate this. I can't see how I will be able to avoid talking about it. Thanks for the site addresses. Henry

Do you feel the love? The passion that overflows from those simple words like lava and ash from an Icelandic volcano? Control yourself, Mr Rollins.
