So going AWOL on you guys last fall has sort of been the albatross around my neck for a while. I feel like I should explain myself at least a bit, even though it doesn't excuse my behavior.
First, I apologize for not saying anything before just sort of disappearing like I did. That was totally unfair to the people I was rp'ing with and those I had promised to make threads for. I have no excuse for not letting you guys know what was going on in my life and why my online presence was dying a quick death.
I kept meaning to come back, but then real life would sweep my feet back out from under me and I'd tell myself I could do it tomorrow. Months and months of tomorrows got me thinking perhaps I could just never post again. I mean, I was never the most active or well known member...perhaps it would just be best to let things be and sort of disappear without a fuss.
This was a terrible mode of thinking and not the kind of forum member I want to be. I don't want to be that one guy who just ups and leaves for no reason and never comes back. So...I guess that's why I'm writing this right now. Sorry, guys.
Secondly, I did have a reason for leaving in the first place. Last semester at the University was absolutely horrible. I was taking far too many classes, and everything just sort of started piling up at the end of the semester. I pretty much quit every forum or non-school-related thing I was doing just to get through it. This semester I'm working a part-time job and interning at one of the local schools, so my time is extremely limited. I'm actually supposed to be at work in about 30 minutes.
To sum it up, I'm really, really sorry I left like I did. School and stuff took away my time to hang out on the forums, but I shouldn't have just up and left like that without letting anyone know what was up. While I won't have much time for the forums this semester either, I will try my absolute best to be at least a semi-active member again, if you guys will have me.
Thanks,
Gotty
