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.

Yeah, so you did :).

But on the other hand, the quality of my work improved significantly in these month, so perhaps I was also onto something.

Now let's see if I learned something: if I start procrastinating again I will have to block myself again as a punishment, and I don't want that :)

Thanks!

It's been mentioned a couple places, but I've started a new job. Not sure what my free time is going to look like for a while, but I'll try to post here and there.

Having computer troubles. Won't be posting much, if at all, for an indeterminate amount of time.

I guess it is.

It's not exactly naive. And it can happen. But it's tough. And definetly worthwhile.

Tomorrow I'll be crossing a huge puddle of water to go on vacation for exactly two weeks.

If I have Internet access for that period of time is something to be left to fate... so I might be here once a day or not at all for the entirety of my trip. Nevertheless I don't doubt that I'll be missing this place. See you all later!

That's all!

Disregard what I said. I mean, not the part about my computer being broken, that's true, but we set up an old desktop for me to use while it's in for repairs. I'm not going anywhere.

I guess it is.

I have returned. For the past week, I was traveling around a certain place. I walked around the world in a matter of minutes, went to the Twilight Zone through an elevator, saw a French circus, and got myself scarred for life from flying dolls that sang about the world being incredibly minuscule. Ah, yes. Fucking Disney.
