This isn't a whim; spark_force was a name I chose back in 2004 when I sincerely thought I would never use the journal, and I've been meaning to change it for the last, um, three years now. It feels good to finally get around to it.
All links/bookmarks should automatically redirect from the old name to the new; please let me know if you see anything else broken so I can try and fix it.

Page Summary
We shall not cease from exploration
And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time.
Through the unknown, unremembered gate
When the last of earth left to discover
Is that which was the beginning;
At the source of the longest river
The voice of the hidden waterfall
And the children in the apple-tree
Not known, because not looked for
But heard, half-heard, in the stillness
Between two waves of the sea.
Quick now, here, now, always—
A condition of complete simplicity
(Costing not less than everything)
And all shall be well and
All manner of things shall be well
When the tongues of flame are in-folded
Into the crowned knot of fire
And the fire and the rose are one.
--Little Gidding, T.S. Elliot

(Hi, btw! How're you?)
(HI. I'm... good? My ankle is less sprained that it was and I'm watching my flatmate start to pack with an "Oh, god, I need to do that soon." expression but otherwise, good! How are you, lovely?)
I'm doing pretty good. Kind of permanently stressed, but, well, what else is new. Very much looking forward to going home over Christmas vacation~!
