one more meme for the road

Oh, and that Shakespeare meme that's been going around? An old favorite, that I've found reason to quote, more than once:
If we do meet again, why, we shall smile;
If not, why then this parting was well made. (Julius Caesar- 5.1.125; Brutus to Cassius)
(Odd, random memory, of reciting this as part of saying goodbye while Julie, my first love, and I were standing in the Atlantic Ocean, staring at each other across a gulf that had become too wide to traverse. We became lovers after reading Romeo and Juliet, little as I like that play; how fitting that the Bard saw us out, as well.)
I've made all sorts of weighty statements in the past about how I'm "going away for a while"; I'm tired of them- and, besides, they tend to last for an average of about three days. Suffice to note that I can't remember the last time I posted something other than a movie post or a meme result; that I very much feel that my life is in transition, in ways that lend themselves to a paper journal far more smoothly than to this here online thing, at least for now; that I'm tired of nattering on about dreams that never happen; that, in any event, my apartment mate and his Captain Marvel book have the computer logjammed more than somewhat. I'll be back when I have something to say- how's that? Be well.
