Hey there everyone. I want to say thanks for voting against me and not giving me the benefit of the doubt because that would have backfired horribly (thanks for the aye vote, though, Franzl
). What I've realized, honestly, is that my life is just too hectic and busy now commit to anything like I was once able to. The downtime I have available to dedicate to foruming is sparse and unpredictable at the best of times.
I suppose the specific situation doesn't matter much because these sorts of things always seem to happen for me, but you guys deserve a bit of an explanation. I had a bad stomach bug right when I disappeared a few weeks ago-- it only lasted a couple of days, but those two days were right at the start of midterm week. I spent the rest of the week desperately cramming and pulling all-nighters typing essays to make up for the time lost due to illness. Ran myself far too thin, and after the last assignment was done I called out of work and basically slept for two days straight.
After that, I had been away from the forum for long enough that I was realizing how much time I spend/waste here. For a while I was thinking that I wasn't going to come back at all, and I'd just up and disappear like Yelnoc and others have done. But, hell, I can't stay away- not for good, not right now. So I'll still be around, and will be available to offer sagely advice upon request and help out whenever and wherever I can.
I suppose I'm just glad that this "disappearance" happened
before I was actually confirmed, rather than immediately after or some such. Sorry to everyone, and especially to Marokai Blue and Duke for letting the administration down.
Thanks everyone.
