    5 fascinating posts from me says he'll be back in 30 days. :p

    [You better come back, Sabreur, as I am actually a lousy post writer. :D]

    I'm... back? Yarr, BACK!

    Sorta?
    Kind of?
    Maybe possibly here again to stay this time?

    You have no idea how LONG it took me to remember the name of this place. I literally got THISCLOSE to smacking my head against the wall hoping to knock out the cobwebs from my head.

    It's certainly been a while since I've been here, and it was just now I noticed this place is linked to my old e-mail, which is why I never got any of the emails from those who were trying to contact me. I am sorry for that, guys. Guess you could call it a case of the writer's blues, but it wasn't too long after the summer that I just sort of crawled off into my own corner for reasons we won't touch upon in here and submerged myself into video gaming to keep myself sustained.

    But since the last time I've been here... man, oh man, I've got the urge to write all over again. Something tells me I just needed to re-read the positive reinforcement to get me jumping onto my book again.

    My friend & I are leaving for Friday Harbor (no pun intended - it's an actual place, hah) for the weekend, and then school at BC starts on Monday. Unfortunately, the weather just got ugly and we have biking and hiking plans. Figures.

    I'll probably be away a lot and just check in on weekends. I want my final quarter to be a great one, GPA-wise, so I really need to try to stay focused.

    [I can always be reached at my UW email address.]

    Aww, thanks, Cog & GiGi. :)

    You all need to scream at me if I come here on weekdays when I should be studying. :D

    Good prediction ;)

    I actually just got a new job (technical writer at a web design company) as well as a lot of school work (essays and the like) so I couldn't sign on for a few days.

    My bad for not specifying the length of time. Just about a week. Good to see the love for my poetry is growing in my absence though ;)

    I mean, I really shouldn't sign on that much anymore, but I probably will about once or twice a week. I have a day off from school today (Good Friday!) so thats why I'm here.

    My only connection to the interwebs right now is my phone, which is kind of a pain to surf the web on for long periods of time, so I won't be posting much until we get internet at our new place. :(

    Just to let you know I'm out for an indefinite amount of time. I seem to have lost my urge to write so there's no point hanging around. I'll be around to catch up on activity, but won't participate. I'll miss you guys :).

    Aw, I'm sorry about that, Neha. Though I think one day you'll feel like writing again... it can't fully have gone away. :) I'll miss you too... though I'll see you on fb, I guess.

    I'm leaving this place. Just so you all know, I really liked most of you, but the people who run this place are ridiculous and are horrible leaders. I'm done. Bye.

    Sorry you're going, maybe you'll change your mind and come back sometime.

    I have to say, though, that the mods here are all fantastic, and I love each of them. They help people with their concerns, fight off the baddies, and genuinely care about the forum. That's hard to come by. I think every punishment i've had was fair, even if I believed I had reason for my actions, and I couldn't fault them in anything. Some of the things Cog has said to me, in particular, have actually made me realise the error of my ways, especially in the way I present myself to others. I'm not here to have my wrist slapped, but frankly, over the time i've been here, i've grown to be a better, more considerate person because of it.They have my respect whole heartedly.

    Sometimes I think people find it hard to be honest with themselves when Mods take action here. I don't know what happened, but i'm sure whatever they've said/done has been for the greater good, in the end. I hope you feel better soon :)

    I agree. I consider the mods and Cogito like the parents of this fourm and we're their children (in a sense). Though they have to lay the law down harshly, it's really for the best. Like Ashleigh, I've been in trouble with them before and I was quick to straighten up. I respect them for that.

    I hope you feel better soon and come back. =)
