I'd like to say that while researching Kevin Flynn's character application I got sucked into the Grid, forced to compete in the Light Cycle Games, and ended up taking down the MCP, but sadly the real reason is not nearly as cool, and also still not a very good excuse for disappearing off EVERYONE'S radar for so long.
I came back home after six months on study abroad, and have kind of been going through reverse-culture shock. Did you know stores are actually open TWENTY-FOUR SEVEN here? Seriously! They don't close at 8pm or anything! They also don't stop selling alcohol at six, but I can't drink it anyway! Also, no good public transportation. Also, apparently our State governor is taking away the tax incentives for our budding Film industry-- ie that big shining future as a Promoted Fangirl I've been dreaming about for the past two years-- and so I've been kind of swept up in the whole political hullaballoo of trying to get them to reinstate that. And job searching. And starting to think about Grad School. And readjusting to living in the same house as my parents and teenage sister.
So that's essentially why I haven't replied to jackshit in the past 3 weeks. And I don't think I'm ready to come back quite yet because I'm still pretty overwhelmed and keep feeling like I'm living someone else's life. I would expect me back sometime next month as far as roleplaying goes.
But to the Skype crew especially I'm sorry for not popping into the chat, because I have been on, and just because I'm reconnecting with my old friends now that we're finally in the same time zone doesn't mean I should be ignoring the new ones I've made. If you notice I'm online, even if I'm not in Chat, please feel free to hit me up, and I'll make more of an effort to come in and say hi from now on. Gotta get back on the horse, ha ha.
LOVE YOU ALL
