A brief respite

Well, I've been doing some thinking lately. Mostly about life and such, but Lusternia has been in there too. All I've ever really done is build a clan of master merchants, do a tiny bit of Divine-assisted RP, and float from place to place, never being recognized for anything.

That drives Richter nuts as a character, I made him that way tongue.gif

But, what bothers me, is that my history is not up to date. I know most of you do not even have a background, but Richter should have about seven chapters in his history. Also, I need to keep up with my submissions, finish my suit of midnight blue renegade armour, and do some public designs.

So, for those that care, and those that do not, I'm taking a break from Lusternia. Might be a day, might be a week, or a few, don't know how long it will be. Some things irritate me, and I'm going to be doing something actually worthwhile.

And I'll be working on some Glomdoring things, maybe they will attract some Divine attention.

So, a leave of absence, to do some neat things. I'll duck back in every once in a while to submit. I'm spending less time on the internet to build my business anyway, so, if you want to bother me, my email and messengers are on my profile.

If you leave now you'll miss some total sweetness that Guido has planned. Seriously... but that's all I can say. ninja.gif

Bah... This isn't the summer anymore, where I don't have a job, and I can spend ten hours a day at a net cafe. One, the cafe is out of business, two, I have a full time job now, and three, well, I have a life.

Hit me up on msn or something, tell me when it's going down, and let me join in some RP. happy.gif Remember, I'm taking a break to work on RP, may as well hop on if I can do any.

Just check in every couple days to check your messages. I'll tell you everything you need to know when the time comes.

*Hides*
Richter2005-01-12 00:29:06
I check messages every night, if I play or not, unless I have a business meeting that goes late.
Daganev2005-01-12 00:30:26
How much did that Net Cafe cost you? and if the answer is not much.. no wonder it went out of business....
Richter2005-01-12 00:54:59
$20 a month, and I didn't see too many of the "laptop people" buying food and drink, with the exception of myself.
Karrah2005-01-12 01:03:38
Haha, that was basically a conversation between you two, that everyone gets to hear.
Daganev2005-01-12 01:05:32
Yeah, if you want a good net cafe you need to charge hourly and offer really cool chairs and computers.
Veonira2005-01-12 01:14:01
I would never be able to use a net cafe. I am such a geek in disguise it's not even funny. I'd be paranoid that people would stare at my screen. It's sort of like how when I work out at a gym, I feel like everyone's watching.

But in any case, hope I'll see you around occasionally! I sometimes feel like I should break my addiction but, eh...I still have a few more months before my world goes upside down!

Nggrhh. I HATE going on the Lusternia forums at school for that very reason. I get that feeling in a bloody empty room with my stuffed aminals and badger hand puppet, let alone with actual people around, and it's annoying as heck. tongue.gif
Nika2005-01-12 02:37:42
I feel that way two... only I DO have people staring at my monitor all the time. *eye brother* *eye parents*
Erion2005-01-12 02:58:25
Shiri, you really scare me. I'm burning your hand puppet.

Nika, just start pulling up some Yaoi... They'll leave you alone. Your brother, anyway. tongue.gif ninja.gif
Karrah2005-01-12 05:12:19
Yeah, I agree with Erion, if I don't have proof it's a badger handpuppet, it's gonna have to go tongue.gif.

We'll most people just don't understand our higher intellegence and superiour imagination. "WTF mate?!". But I'm assuming those who are paranoid of their screens are in high school still. Once you get out of high school, no one cares, and most people are more mature.

Can I say how jealous I am, Richter? The only cafe I know of charges SG$2.50 - SG$4 (roughly US$1.40 - US$2.20) per hour, and isn't even good. dry.gif
Iridiel2005-01-12 11:26:05
I never go to an internet cafee unless out of city for the holidays. Too expensive, and I cannot use my mud client in most of them.
About being watched... I usually play sitting next to another lusternia adict, so we look at each other screens periodically biggrin.gif It's just about getting used to it.

*snerk* I did. Of anime that he liked. You'd be surprised how attractive Yu-Gu-Oh yaoi can be. halo.gif
Shiri2005-01-12 16:52:03
You leave my handpuppet alone, Erion.

What the heck is Yaoi anyway? I saw it in Nika's MSN name but have no idea what it is. Should I not ask? dry.gif

Exactly! You're too young and knowing what it is will destroy your mentality forever! Wait, not only that - even watching anime can destroy your mentality! And playing computer games! So, stop reading this and start studying a lot, and then go help the priest at your local church/temple/mosque/holy woods.

Wow, I know what you mean. I HATE it when my friends are over and I pop on Lusternia, and they're all like "Hey what's that?"

I don't feel it when I'm playing sports, except for football. Which doesn't make sense, cause you have so many people on the field at once for football, but meh.
