This is a thread for people who will not be or have not been on the site for a while, whether due to real life or to resist an internet addiction, the latter of which is encouraged within reason. Also, talk about the benefits/whatever of taking a day or a weekend off, or things to do when not online. TV Tropes ruining your life is nothing to be proud of.

Generally, expect the following from this thread:

  1. People announcing their departure or return.
  2. Moderators announcing a significant forum ban — not trolls or vandals, but someone people will notice and miss.
  3. Inquiries about an absent troper.
  4. Responses to inquiries about an absent troper.

This is not working for me! Last time I was alone at this time of the year, I stopped eating and getting out of bed. And now...I cut off a whole bunch of contacts? Perhaps it is better if I just post less rather than not at all, in particular limiting myself to things people want to hear.

Looks like you'll have to put up with my narcissism while I do something about it rather than after. Brightslappers line up here. *puts up sign*

I've got to learn how not to, you see...and by myself, I won't be learning; I'll just be doing stupid things like not eating.

I can go again if not trusted.

INT is knowing a tomato is a fruit. WIS is knowing it doesn't belong in a fruit salad. CHA is convincing people that it does.

I became aware of that I was needed here again, as it were... I spent a great deal of time with myself and a few other people who wanted to be myself.

Well, you know that I love to live with you, but you make me forget so very much. I forget to pray for the angels, and then the angels forget to pray for us. Your letters say that you are beside me now. Then why do I feel alone?

Stayed up all night again.

Ended up writing some strange lovecraft inspired poetry

Wasn't that good though

I'd rather the world betray me, but I won't betray the world.

I'm considering taking a backseat on the fora and just make myself lurk. I'm gonna see if people notice.

Doesn't saying it out loud undermine it from the start.

I'm gonna take a hiatus again. It's getting tense around here. No fun.

To that end, to be certain, I think I shall request a temp-ban against myself in the Tech forum.

See ya'll later. Maybe. Hopefully.
