Wow, I had no idea this site was still semi-active, so yeah.
How's everybody doing?

Pretty decent. I'm so surprised to see you here that I had to twist my head back around into place before typing this, but I'm better now. Yeah, we died when I lost internet for 4 months but now I'm trying to defribulate this forum back into life.

Yeah, I'm pretty surprised myself, but I don't really have any problems with you guys, so why not?
I'm trying to think of how we can join ranks, because right now the other site has me, my girlfriend, Dave, and Wolfe as semi-active writers. I think we'd benefit more from burying the damn hatchet already, whatever that hatchet might be.

I don't personally have a problem with anybody really. I think a lot of that "hatchet" is person-to-person drama. I do know a couple people (that'll remain nameless) that would rather avoid each other. I certainly wouldn't mind having more people around here. Especially those willing to write! I hear a lil bit more support and I'll be posting my completely reworked and rewritten "Archelu" now known as "EXADHOS."

Well, if Wolfe gets his lazy ass over here, you'll have two more people interested in role playing whatever. And if I can convince Mica to write more, you'll have three. It would be nice to have De here, but I think she quit the whole writing thing. You think you can get Mike back and willing to write again? If he returns with Mikenzy, we have quite a formidable syntax force here.

I'm sure I can get Mike And Mickenzy, but getting De to write is like tring to catch a slug. Bug her with enough salt and she'll show, but words of actually returning to writing have thusfar been untrue. Tis a real shame. She's a fun one. On a second note, I think after yesterday I might be able to convince Middy to really make an attempt at writing again. I'll bug her on MSN until she does. All right then. I think when I get back from work tonight I'll try finishing the last detail of [my character in] EXADHOS so it's completely ready to post.

You sure about Mike? I read here he's not doing so hot lately, unless you've spoken with him since then. =x

I haven't heard a thing about him not doing well so I'd say you're more informed than I am. I sure hope I can get a chance to talk to him. I'm getting on MSN much more consistently now. Granted that's based off of today and yesterday so not much of a record to judge by, but hey. It's more than never like I used to do!

Oh, it's on the thread "Well...". I don't know if he's doing better since then, though.

WOW! I had no idea he had posted there. I guess someone posted right after and I just clicked on the new message link, showing me page 2 and making me think there was nothing new on page 1. Damn, this sucks. Mike was my number 1 favorite writer among us and one of my best friends truth be told. Now I'm hoping I can catch him on a time when he's on messenger as invisible rather than offline. I sure hope he's at least feeling a little better.

He was one of my best friends, too, a long time ago. I sincerely hope he's doing better, and comes back at one point.

I'm...here. Kinda. Not doing too much better though.
Stress has been...through the roof. Most of you reading this will know my emotional problems, but I've been off medication for...wow, a year and half now? Maybe closer to 2 years. I got sick of being dependent, and quit cold turkey, and I've been amazing for most of that time. But stress has pushed it back on me, and I'm on a real rollercoaster lately. My cars are crapped out, and I have to spend what I have left in savings on a new one. I STILL live at home, working at a job that not only doesn't pay me enough to move out, but it doesn't have any type of insurance, and my bills are piling. My family life is on the verge of spontaneous combustion, and I've become a self-imposed hermit, rarely talking to anyone. My day consists of working for about 8 hours, coming home to eat, going online about 2 hours to check email and such, then talking to Crista and watching TV for a little and going to bed. I'm basically just...really stressed.
Add that to the fact that I suck at roleplaying now, and can't find much impetus to continue to post in the threads I'm ALREADY obligated to. Well... when I say I suck, I mean I've become super critical, and I don't like my own writing. And I'm not reliable at all in an RP.
I'm not saying this to upset anyone, and I truly don't mean to make anyone sad. I'm explaining how I am, and letting everyone know. But the reason I haven't responded, haven't tried to talk to any of you: I'm afraid and ashamed.
It's been so long, and you guys have no idea how sorry I am about not saying anything. I've neglected you all, and for that I feel ashamed. And I know almost everyone will say they're not, but I'm afraid I've disappointed you all. And that I'll disappoint you again. You might not believe me, but I will. And so, I'm afraid to say anything. Because I know I've done a bad thing in being away so long, and I can't face up to it. Yeah, I'm weak like that. I'm sorry.
I wanted to write this to let you know I'm still alive. To let you know I still exist. And to let you know I'm sorry. I'm here, invisible, but not nearly as often as I used to be, and I can't guarantee I'll respond if you message me. Especially not tonight, because letting all this out has distressed me so much, I'm going to go disappear now. But... I miss you guys too. I really do. I mean every one of my old friends. I'm so sorry about everything, I really am. And I don't know what I'll do now. But...
I'm still living.

I've been meaning to reply to this for a while but at "home" my computer's monitor is fried. And now I'm technically homeless [again] so... blah. Luckily a coworker is incredibly nice and is allowing me to stay with them at their house. But enough about me. MIKE! I've missed you, man! It's so good to hear from you and see that you're doing okay. You may think that you've got this inevitable disappointment thing looming and all, but you've already made me fantastically happier by posting here and giving us an update on your situation, man. You really don't know how much that means to me. Now I'm not going to ask you to commit to writing or anything like that, man. However much I want to get to RPing again (since I've been attempting this return for like a year now), right now I will happily settle for my great online friends to just chat here and show each other that we all still exist. I hope to hear from more of you all soon!
