Ships R Us Man I had to take a second look. You almost look exactly like my brother in law, even the way you are squatting in the snow. Also with the beard. He's also a big outdoor person.

I discovered Doctor Who, and became a fanfic writer/cosplayer

Must be something in the water.

Ahem.

hi guys

I'm alive

So I'd really like to apologize to Neal and the rest of the community. I left the forums unannounced about a year ago after some minor spats on the GT forum here - but really, that had nothing to do with it. Sadly some bad stuff happened in my personal/family life and I just had no more energy to deal with anything else.

So I got into that whole finding-myself stage. Spent a bit of time traveling, but still tried to stick in school. Made some new friends, had some new experiences, had some bad new experiences too. I'm still busting my brains working on that PhD in communication studies, but so far holding up.

I can't say I'm quite out of the woods, but I just couldn't stay away from subsim. I've been lurking around for a couple of months now, feeling rather too stupid to dare come back, but I can't stay away anymore.

My sincere apologies to all my subsim friends whom I've ditched without so much as a note to say I'm leaving for a while. I promise it won't happen again.

...will I really not be court-martialed for this?

Dowly · 02-28-10, 08:13 PM

I knew something was missing, just couldn't quite put my finger to it.

Welcome back, mate!

Sailor Steve · 02-28-10, 09:12 PM

Welcome back!

It's always good to see old familiar faces, especially when they've given us so much cool stuff.

Funny thing about that. I once stopped talking to some friends because I did something I thought was a total friendship-buster. When I talked to them again, all they said was "Where have you been?" and "What did we do to tick you off?"

So the only negative thing I'm going to say is: DON'T NEVER DO DAT AGAIN!

And I mean go away, not whatever it was that prompted you to.

ReFaN · 02-28-10, 09:25 PM

Welcome back CCIP, didnt know who you were, but iam looking forward to being thrown into the brig from you

Yes sir

Seriously, thanks guys, it's good to be back.

Meanwhile, some of the better things I've done while I'd been out...

Grew my hair out and creeped out the neighbours:

Travelled to America for the first time:

Got to partake in one of the best American pastimes:

Then got a haircut and got to hang out with blue dudes at the War Museum

And then, rigged for depth charges:

ALAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARM
