i said a couple of weeks ago that i'd be away for the next 10 or so weeks but that kinda didnt happen oops
that said i really do need to leave for a while. i have a lot going on in real life right now and i think it'd honestly be best if i try to distance myself from the community until i can sort it all out because its just too much of a distraction here
i do plan on eventually returning but i have no idea when. i might go on irc once in a blue moon
so goodbye for now, i hope you all keep safe and sound
adding on to this, i've thought about it a bit more, and i'll probably drop in for the awards ceremony in august but otherwise i dont plan on returning to the forum anytime in the near future. even if i do get myself into a good routine i dont trust myself to not revert to my old self and not get anything done if i return to the forum over the holidays or something, and right now im approaching what will probably be one of the busiest times in my life so i cant afford to have that happen. i guess you can sorta consider me semi-retired for the time being
i just wanna say thanks to all of you for being such great friends, i cant imagine how different it would have been over the past three and a half years if i hadn't joined here. you guys are a great community and im really glad you've been a part of my life
so yea, bye for now and thank you for having me here. hopefully i'll be able to see you all at the awards or on irc every now and again
