Lorelei

I'm going to make the leap of faith that you already know the song, but this cratchy, broken down and damaged version (recorded on a €15 amp and a mic that came, with the funny hat, free with a christmas cracker) of one of the most sublime tunes known to indie kids[1] is a nice but unplesant metaphor as to how, well, you know, its all gone a bit wrong for our project and things in general. Feck anyway; and though you know you are dealing with a mixture of liars, trolls and thoes whoes idea of POV is not of this earth; surrender is not the best defence, if you can bear it. Hope to see you back soon, anyhow. Best. Ceoil (talk) 22:08, 21 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Please reconsider!

Hi Liz, Sorry, I had to be away for a few weeks. Please reconsider your decision. Please don't let the turkeys (or whichever species of instigator it is this time) get you down. Consider taking a short break and, once recouped, return here to do quiet determined battle on the few things that matter. Besides you have unfinished business to take care of. I just left a note on Ceoil's page about renominating Lucy as an FAC. Looking forward to your quick and reinvigorated return (with some new cat stories to boot).

Cat recovered

As you can see, the cat who had a narrow escape last month (and multiple surgeries) is in fine fettle now.

ThankSpam

My RfA

Thank you for participating in my "RecFA", which passed with a final tally of 153/39/22. There were issues raised regarding my adminship that I intend to cogitate upon, but I am grateful for the very many supportive comments I received and for the efforts of certain editors (Ceoil, Noroton and Lar especially) in responding to some issues. I wish to note how humbled I was when I read Buster7's support comment, although a fair majority gave me great pleasure. I would also note those whose opposes or neutral were based in process concerns and who otherwise commented kindly in regard to my record.
I recognise that the process itself was unusual, and the format was generally considered questionable - and I accept that I was mistaken in my perception of how it would be received - but I am particularly grateful for those whose opposes and neutrals were based in perceptions of how I was not performing to the standards expected of an administrator. As much as the support I received, those comments are hopefully going to allow me to be a better contributor to the project. Thank you. Very much.

You are valuable

I was coming by to see how Lucy was going and hoping you, Ceoil and Ottava were going to renominate it soon and I see this! I hope that non-Wikipedia life is treating you well, at least. Perhaps after a good break, you can come back. We need editors like you! You make the project a wonderful place to work and when I tout it to my colleagues I say "You should see this wonderful article on the Lucy poems..." (I really did just say that the other day to a professor.) So, come back when you are ready. We will have a party waiting. Awadewit (talk) 16:00, 24 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Seconded. With party hats, balloons; everything. Ceoil (talk) 23:34, 29 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Liz, you know we all love you....Modernist (talk) 23:44, 29 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Many thanks

Many thanks to those posting here; your kind words are much appreciated. I hope to be back soon, but can't say exactly when. Thank you all again, Kafka Liz (talk) 01:46, 26 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Look forward to that! All the best in the meantime. Johnbod (talk) 01:26, 30 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You might like this. ? Ceoil (talk) 20:29, 1 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Very apt. Thanks. Kafka Liz (talk) 23:04, 1 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Wasn't mean to be apt. Just pretty is all. Random good tune! Nothing wrong with that. Ceoil (talk) 23:09, 1 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Well, it's that too. :) This is what I've had in my own head lately. Can't believe how young he looks there. Kafka Liz (talk) 23:12, 1 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Nice. Yeah, funny how the years roll up when the hair falls out. (Thats in store for me yet, my father keeps warning me). Here is apt, and dont scare us like that again! Ceoil (talk) 23:17, 1 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Heh, shucks. :)

On a lighter note, I'd've been white-haired years ago if I followed in my father's footsteps. He and his dad (this is the non-Italian side; more from your neck of the woods) went white in their early twenties. Kafka Liz (talk) 23:34, 1 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
