Go To

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.

If anyone's looking for me, I have finals this week and I'm planning to spend the entire week on them. So while I'm checking this place rather often, I might not reply promptly.

Good news: The computer pretty much fixed itself so hai.

Bad news: My alt key is broken, making it impossible for me to alt tab away from the danger.

That alt key is possessed by Satan, and if he uses it, all the evils possible will be unleashed upon the world. (He must've pressed it centuries ago.)

I have a ton of schoolwork I need to get done if I want to graduate, plus job searching I need to pay more attention to, so I'm going to be cutting back the amount of time I spend on here. I still expect to be on periodically, but I won't be as active as usual.

So, at the beginning of this semester, my parents came to me and confronted me.

Mom:"John, you got a B in BOTH your classes!"

Me:"You can't expect me to be perfect!"

Mom:"Could you have gotten an A in those classes REALLY, REALLY easily if you weren't on your computer all the time?"

Me:"...yes."

This, along with a LOT of other stuff, caused them to put restrictions on my internet. HOWEVER, my grades are up, the stuff thatI need to get done is getting done, and everything is going well. So I now have (almost) unlimited internet again! YAY.

Go play Kentucky Route Zero. Now.

I may be away for the weekend, at the very least I'll be away from now until (late) Saturday night.
