I am out of hiatus. I will try to be substantial. I will probably fail.
KGS IS DOWN. KGS IS DOWN. KGS IS DOWN. KGS IS DOWN. DDDDDD:

This is a substantial post (for a change)
Keep in mind, I'm still lowly 4k, so this probably has issues
So far, 3-5 has served me moderately well.
I play double 3-5 paired with 3-9 as black, and ommitting the 3-9 as white.
Opponents generally decide to approach from the top either low or high. I have seen the low approach most often, as my opponents choose to take the corner.
At this point, I can play at either O or P16.
That's the ideal situation. It gets messy when it doesnt work though.
Like that. Or something. Eh, it just gets messy.
I find not much wrong with this opening, as I feel it suits me pretty well. Higher level players seem to think it really weird though. I guess I'll learn whats wrong with it when the time comes.
I think one of the main issues with this opening is I end up with a possibility for a moyo.. and then I play the exact wrong move. The walls I get from this give me really nice influence, but sometimes I lose territorially. I remember this happening at Congress a lot. A lot of the games I play rely on something dying, or some weak group I can chase around, because of the walls.
Wow, this post sucked.

Got toastcrumb to 1k?
timshel is now solid 1k.. but due to losing consistantly, not winning consistantly. XD
I feel about 2-3k in strength.
I found out my double 3-5 has a name: "Jabberwock"

Improvement!
Whoo! -4.27k! 2 stone promotion!
A series of bad puns.
JinQianHan: [i'm ] DANgerousus
Violence [?]: Mingjuice: The Go player drink.
Violence [?]: It's got a taste that'll make you say, "GOOOOD-A MOVE!"
I hate losing won games. :/
Havent played anything noteworthy in a while.

Dang
Haven't posted in ages. :( Stupid finals. Stupid school.
In any case. This is pretty awesome. I'm getting close to shodan. AGA shodan at least.
I went 5-0 against 5ks and 4ks at the Jujo tournament. Now I'm just waiting for the AGA to update their ranks.
I remembered one of the better games. At my level, I don' t think I played particularly good games, just my opponents managed to mess up multiple times, and I could take advantage of these screwups.
I also learned how much I love komi.
