So where IS emma, anyways?
I've been totally neglecting AG, and feel awful about it.
Story is, I'm kind of heavily involved in another site, as an admin, and it's been stealing a lot of time keeping that in order. Also, I've been working my ass off, it's the time of the year, beginning December and up until April, I'm more or less held hostage at work. And the suckiest part, my mum has been diagnosed cancer, and seeing how I lost my dad last year in the same disease, it's kind of kept me preoccupied too. Things are looking up atm, though, she's probably going to pull through it without too much damage, and I've finally started to breathe in a more controlled fashion. All in all, since June or somert like that, my life has been kind of sucky, and has kept me away from much of the fun and games that I usually indulge in. The paradox being that those are the times you need it the most, of course. The important thing is though, that you'll never get rid of me. Ever. Even if I sometimes disappear, and this time longer than usual, this is my homebase. *muahahahahaha* Finally having some time, before having to go to work today, so I'm reading around, trying to pick up what I've missed since - well, it must have been WEEKS and WEEKS! Uru cancelled?!?! *mutters and grumbles* It's all my fault, I never found the time to sign up. *sighs* Rhummy-James starting to write for JA?!? *continues to read*

Great to see your name again on these forums, I really missed you. I'm glad things are looking up for your mother, I hope everything turns up to be all right.

Hi Emma! I wasn't looking at the poster name and immediately thought someone else was getting too concerned about your disappearance . Now that you're back again I can continue to ponder the meaning of your avatar.
(I guess we're in the same situation... my current posting rate is around 5% of what it used to be during the good old highschool days. But beware still folks, I'm still lurking around watching each single move of yours, bwaha.) |

I'm really sorry to read about the bad time you've been having recently, especially with your mum. It's great news that shes looks like shes going to be ok, I can imagine you're very relieved.
Welcome back emma!

We're all sorry for your troubles, emma and you will always be welcome here.
Out of curiosity: Which other site is it you are involved in?

Good to see you post Emma, I did ask about you not to long ago, and Tamz had responded saying you had just been busy, I wish you and your mom the best thru her ordeal and hope you can start posting a bit more again.
And What IS that other forum that has kept you so preoccupied. |

Which site? Oh, I thought I put that up somehwere here a while back already? It's a p2p-forum (bittorrent) and knowing the politics on that kind of stuff 'round these parts, I might have decided not to talk about it at some point. Know I've talked about it in irc though. Anyways, it's called Filesoup and it's a site about bittorrenting, a filesharing system, and in this case used as p2p. I'm mother hen over there too, lmao! Guess that's why they moved me into admin-hood, I suppose. It's a pretty large site, and a nice place to hang. Not at all like AG though, it's a completely different thing.
Trédpidò! Andersonville! LMAO! My last name is Andersson, you know! I just GOT to come over and visit! I'm so happy for you, finally back to the pulse! YAY! (((intrepid))) Oh, and guys! (((((grouphug))))) Coming here, is like coming home, everytime!
