Disappearing for two to three weeks for a much needed break from the game and some much needed time outside. Ta!

I'm not around because without Ragniliff, there's no reason.

That's not true, but I thought I'd say it anyway.

In reality, I've had a consuming complication in my life - I took up a volunteer job on a project expecting to be the junior partner, with two senior people helping me out and doing their own work, and it's turned out that...I'm the only contributing partner. As much as I love Lusternia, this is more a commitment of honor, and I'm trying to take care of it and get it running before I step back into the game.

Obviously, I'm a GA, so I'll be trying to shuffle things now and again, but I'm going to be a wee bit scarce.

I realize this is an inconvenience, and I'm sorry. I'll try to take it out on my supposed supervisors.

Taking a break for a week or two, due to a few things, not going into specifics. I'll still be involved with the Mafia game, but little else.

Will be disappearing off to faculty orientation camp from Monday to Friday next week. The prospect of it fills me with a strange trepidation. unsure.gif

My AIM is in my profile and I've been known to loiter around irc a bit, all of you can feel free to IM me, talking to you people is one of my favorite things about lusternia anyways. wub.gif


I've got MSN now. Got it to talk to Malicia since she's never on AIM... but she's never on that either crying.gif Oh well, AcruneTheFish @ hotmail . com, say hi to me, I get bored.

Haven't been on for two days.

May be on in two or so more days.


** The following is the reason why, but it is also a rant. **
** If it must be moved to the Rants page, then please do so. **


My stomach ulcer's been bothering me, and it's because I've been stressed out by stuff, like one of my sister's is pregnant with twins, they're going to be taken out prematurely in the next couple of days, they apparently stopped growing weeks ago, the doctors said they'll probably be brain dead, and all of that stuff relating to her two not-yet-borns is because she thought it was a good idea to do drugs before AND during her pregnancy, and she thought it was a good idea to limit herself to eating 1 small meal a day during her pregnancy.

On top of that, my almost-four year old nephew who's Autistic (actually the son of the sister mentioned above~~^) took a few tests a month ago, and overall he's functioning like a two year old, with his speech nearing that of a three year old and his motor and cognitive skills nearing that of a two year old. This probably wouldn't bother me so much if he didn't live with me, and if I wasn't told by his dad that I'm not supposed to touch his children (my niece and nephew) in anyway, including hugs, because I "don't know how to take care of a child".

On top of that, my other niece (9 years old) called me today and told me she hated me because I didn't have her father's phone number. I don't know how she'd expect me to have it, since he hasn't talked to me since his butt was thrown into jail for d-dealing.

On that note, one of my other sisters called me today crying because she hates her husband and her son (another nephew! age 16) is doing pot and drinking and she doesn't know what to do.

And then there's the fact my stepdad left today for training for his job and left -no food- in the fridge, and I had to hit my secret money stash that I was saving for more important things. (Spore, getting knocked up within the next year and a half, et cetera)

My other OTHER sister called me asking me for money because she apparently doesn't make enough as a teacher. I told her she'd have more money if she stopped clubbing and drinking during her off hours and buying +$100 jeans, got cussed out, called a good for nothing, was told I should die, la di da di da.

Add onto that stuff I need to clean this whole apartment by Friday, and I have graduation rehearsal on Wednesday (they still haven't given me my cap and gown because they lost a text book I returned and now I have to pay them $75) and graduation on Friday, and... well...

explode.gif




P.S.: Explode is my new favorite emote.

P.P.S.: I might be gone for longer if the babies do die, for mourning, and for trying to coax my sister out of killing herself and try to keep myself from smacking her over the head for doing drugs to harm them in the first place.

Going to be mostly absent till July 11th due to end-of-term exams. sad.gif I have yet to get the hang of this Chemistry thing.
Hazar2008-06-28 02:35:48
Leaving for a funeral, and than a bike ride, and than an island. Will mainly be checking messages and replying to them for a week, which probably rapes my chances of getting into Nocht's order in a timely manner. But a certain someone scheduled things really awkward and sudden, so I can't help it.
Saaga2008-06-28 08:50:41
Turning 18 in a week, a lot of preparations... And worrying about the support they pay for young families living alone. Since I am not officially studying (evening school with actual classess less than 60% of the terms), there is no money coming out of that. Filling in a dozen forms and cleaning the apartment from floor to ceiling etc.

I just haven't had -any- time. It'll get better though, since I'm almost done. smile.gif Go me.
Kharaen2008-06-30 11:15:13
I will try to be around, but likely not as much as BOTH my hands look like this:


It's pain every waking moment >_> Irritability is higher then even usual, and typing just increases the pain.

Sorry :/

I've been having problems with my computer. My fiancee downloaded something he shouldn't have, and thus we now have a Trojan virus. I'm taking the computer into the Geek Squad tomorrow morning before I go to work to get it fixed. Until then, please, no blowing up the Night Coven.

Lei's and Daem's words are law until I can log in. I trust them fully to make decisions for the best of the Shadowdancers.

Meanwhile, I'm going to be giving my fiancee the cold shoulder until he can explain, in detail, what "Lesbian Spank Inferno" is and why he downloaded it on to our computer. glare.gif
Sthai2008-07-02 10:22:05
Not so much absent as my hours have changed. For the next month or two, I'll be mostly on in the middle of the night, US time, and semi-idle then, as I'm at work. Won't be on at all during the day. Drop me a message if anyone needs anything.
Druken2008-07-02 12:29:51
I've just started a pretty challenging summer course that, more than usual, is absorbing all of my time. I'll hop on when I can, but my hours will be more random than they have recently been.
Ardmore2008-07-02 22:28:00
Be gone for two or so weeks... Got 3 midterms and 2 projects due within a week of each other. Lame.
Druken2008-07-03 00:21:21
Addendum- my friend's father is dying. While that is big news, and very sad, the reason I'll be away is because this friend's family also owns a relatively hopping camping ground. Her father was general manager and CEO, but in his current state, he can't really fulfill his duties. They have all fallen onto her, and she's only 18.

Long story short, I will be away for a while helping her out. If all goes well, I should be back after the Independence Day weekend is over.
Ayisdra2008-07-04 01:00:36
Will be leaving a bit for reason of a bit of boredom now with the game....Shall return soon probably. I will still be around for a day or so. If you did need to get in contract with me, just PM me and I will get the notice.

Edit: Meh...not leaving yet, staying for the weekend.
Iwiertas2008-07-04 20:39:37
I'm away at for -three- weeks, sorry everyone. Taking a vacation is a big thing, you know. I will be able to log in at some point in there to keep my stuff from degrading on me, but not really long enough to do anything beyond that.

At least it makes me look older. peace.gif
Unknown2008-07-15 11:59:13
