About Bandit Banzai:

Will assure you that any unusual gaps in their knowledge are 100% the result of the homeschooling growing up. Fluctuates between nonsense and the kind of seasoned observation you'd expect to hear from a really old person. Will drop off the face of the earth for months at a time, causing friends to imagine they are either backpacking through another continent or dead. Or possibly dead while backpacking.

The weird thing is that all of those things are actually true, and reading that back is like spotting myself in a department store mirror and wondering if I look that surly to everyone else. So maybe I'll laugh this one off and leave it at that.
