With luck, I'll still be around sporadically; However, I'll be gone for a week at the coast... Grr, getting elected and then having to dissapear.

Okay, this is not really an absence, but I figured it would help explain why I am gone so much. I am in college right now studying to be a graphic designer and I am taking the full time course meaning I have a hefty work load of things to do. That just means I usually have to crank out a few pieces of 'art' a week and its consuming more time than I thought. So, for the next....3 years I will be a little busy! Lol. Don't expect much. Not like you got much in the first place, ba zing!

So that's why!
I've missed your guidance.

Hello everyone!

I'm sorry I've disappeared for the past few days, I've been dealing with a car failure coupled with a loss in the family. I should be back in town within two days and returning to abuse Choke. smile.gif

Hope all of you are well.

Due to unforeseen stupidity on the behalf of my ex room mate, I will not have the internet until the 31st. Until then, play nice and be good. I'll be watching you. superninja.gif

Edit: Unless I go to Bigby's.
Unknown2009-07-28 22:31:05
Just three more days (hopefully) until AT&T comes back and hooks up my internet again. I might be at Bigby's Coffee House later on today, depending on how much paper work I find in my office in a few minutes. If not, I'll see everyone in three days.

I think maybe I'll take an indefinite leave of absence. Maybe I shouldn't come online when I'm exhausted, so yeah it's my fault.

I don't take things personally that happen in game. It's just not my thing, but tonight basically made me feel like I don't want to play anymore (and maybe it was a long time coming). I'm not a fighter, just about everyone who knows me knows that. I come online and am drafted into a squad. I hear something about Raziela and unbinding, and yes, I'm tired so I'm not really getting what's going on (I'm not sure why I thought we were going to Celestia hee hee). Next thing I know I'm on Ethereal and still trying to comprehend what I'm doing and then how to not be doing what I'm doing. Then I die, pray and get enemied to lots of things. Basically get told fu when I explain the situation to people (yes, I did bring it up IC right away, and maybe the answer would be different another day, but at this point I really don't care).

Maybe I would feel better about it if I felt I got the chance to rebel, or to comprehend what was happening and get my defenses up (At least I wouldn't have died like right away).

So yeah, that basically like killed it for me. It's not that I wont get over being enemied, or that I can't get unenemied easily enough once this war is over. I really don't appreciate being forced to do things. I'm not really having fun anymore.

Right now I don't feel like coming back. I apologize if this message upsets anyone. I'm not really mad, just disheartened and maybe a little sad that I might not be playing anymore. So I'm going to sleep on it, and decide if I'm going to keep playing. I'll make a public post IC if necessary.

If you want to contact me my info is in my profile. If you tell me you play Lusty when you add I'll be sure to add you to my lists. Luff all you guys (even the enemies and such). Keep having fun.

You should totally do what I do sometimes when I'm not in the mood to defend, fight for a village, do Wild Nodes, etc.: log off and come back the next day. ninja.gif

Real life > virtual life

That said, I'll be said you're leaving sad.gif Who will mend my clothing and be a comforting reminder of the old days when everything was laid back and happy?

I'm going to France by the end of the week and staying there for a month (and then some more for going around Europe). I'll still be able to get internet, but just sporadically and in a different timezone!


*ponder* I'll be doing that too!! From end of August to end of September I'm roaming Europe. Maybe we could meet up?! (Because I have nowhere to stay... sad.gif )
Tervic2009-07-29 22:58:15
Fania, nooooo! Who's going to send me abusive tells in the dead of night now? Or light pants on fire? sad.gif

You're supposed to be in the states dry.gif
Razenth2009-07-29 23:02:55
I'm assuming you're finding a replacement Duke? 30 days of you not being here would be murder.

Better yet, don't leave. You're doing a good job. Don't wanna find a replacement. ninja.gif

I didn't log of because I didn't know what we were doing. When I realized I was already on the Ethereal plane, and just a bit after that I was dead. I was made to follow and didn't realize I was following until we had moved to Ethereal.

Oh my goodness! I am so sorry! For some reason I had thought you were a moderate combatant. If I had thought you were a pacifist or similar I would not have been quite the arse I was. I am really very sincerely sorry that my actions have had such a grave impact on you. sad.gif I hope you can forgive me and that eventually you do come back. sad.gif

Yikes, I'm sorry to hear that happened sad.gif I hope to see you around when I come back smile.gif

I'll be gone until Sept 18th. Ishant has control of Kismet; ask him about perms. Sorry to the kids that are waiting to be adopted. You can still reach me through Skype or my MSN.
