Hey everyone. I want to thank all of you who've reached out to me on AIM or texts the past week/few days. I do not know who knows or just knows that I took off without warning, but I do want to sincerely apologize to each and every one of you for bailing without saying anything.
Unfortunately, I flew back to Florida last week to be with my mom, who is .. not doing well. I know that I owe many of you tags, replies, plots, and that it has been quite some time since I've posted at all or been present in chat. When I found out about my mother, it was very touch-and-go and I did not know if I would be traveling back or not, so when I received the call last week, I went without question. I know that I shouldn't have left anyone hanging in threads, but my head has not been in the space for anything past refusing to acknowledge much and reciting Buffyverse dialogue as a distraction.
I'm headed back to NC soon, once things wrap up here. I'm posting this now so that one, you have an idea of why I've been absent/awful at being an online presence; two, so that I can let you know how I plan to start replying; and three, to ask that you uh, just don't mention this. I really do appreciate kind words and knowing that someone is there, but I am unfortunately not a person who responds well to "condolences" of any sort, so I ask that instead of messaging me anything of the like, that we just both ignore the elephant in the room :P I'm dealing how I can. Promise.
On the note of number two, replying: I am going to be posting one more reply in all of my open threads as of right now, but to basically end them/wrap them up so that they can close. I'm doing this because I honestly got myself involved in way too many at once and with everything else, know that I won't be able to do much of anything with any of them without feeling like I'm drowning again, lol. So please don't take my ending post to them personal - I'd love to continue MORE threads, but I have to limit myself. This is me admitting I have a problem. :3
All right, sorry for the block of text. I love you all dearly and am so very thankful that you're in this game, that you're here, that you're making a mark on this world we've all made together. <3 I'll be back in NC this week, most likely Thursday/Friday, and that should be when I'm back on AIM/available for chats/skype/whatever you'll have me for.
