Wai?

WTH is in Chicago?


Besides the Cubs, and let's face it, they're not really worth visiting Chicago for. Maybe the stadium is, but not their performance.

Although, if you could get an autograph by Common, Mos Def, or any band member from the Roots, I would be like :surprise impressed.

And Home Alone. That house from the movie, and the church, are actually real and actually there.

I like Chicago! It's like a bigger version of KC. They have Pizzaria Uno (though we do have that here too) and the Shedd Aquarium! I also liked the art museum and the field museum.

Chicago is Epic. Especially the Art Museum. The only place in Chicago I haven't been is China Town.

Ok gang, sadly I will be missing for a while.

Either I got Swine Flu (which is highly unlikely being i have zero symptoms other than achey joins and being exhausted) or, I worked myself way, way, way too hard, have had very little good food to eat as of late, and rarely gone to sleep at appropriate times. All of this in combination with final weeks of the semester jitters and stresses while trying to meet newspaper deadlines and essay deadlines and homework deadlines, and god knows what else.

Needless to say, I'm burning out.
So i'm going to burn the bridge instead, I'm going to get through this semester with a low intake of scrawlers (*taps veins... really need ma crack!*) so that I can get through scott-free.

I will be back (huzzah), and when I am I will jump right back in.
Sadly, the semester has demanded a lot from me physically and the last few months I have not been doing right by my body.

I hope you all understand, with new job and all, and if I make it out of the next two weeks alive, I'll gladly be on wishing everyone a happy May-somethingith.

As of this week, I will have to give up the game for the coming semester, at the very least. I can't handle college, life, and rpg's online, and it's causing my grades to fall. I love you all, and I love the game, but I simply can't keep up, and something has to go.

Unfortunately, it's this, and my other rpg's. I won't be around much, if at all, and I'm sorry to have to do this to everyone I had plots going with, but I can't afford to sacrifice my grades.

Nu!

Well, I'll be honest, it's not easy, I can agree with you on that point wholeheartedly. Is there any chance you're going to gives us at least a good-bye fic for each of your girls?

And wingy, please drop by in chat. We'll miss your characters but we shouldn't have to miss you! ;)

I'm sorry to hear that, wingy. But I can also understand your time constraints and agree that it would be bad if you let your grades suffer. I just hope that you can try to stop by in chat every now and then. Of course, you can also play only occasionally while you're busy. We'll miss you in any case. *hugs* :)

After my internet was killed by lightning last night, it's apparently still undergoing maintenance. So, I might be here or not, as it's behaving unpredictably. Don't be surprised if I dc from chat and won't be back for a while.

for the next 5 days I'll probably not be in chat that much...I...err..heh went a little overboard with the bandwidth this month and now just waiting for the 1st of June, and I can't check how much I have right now because the bandwidth usage page isn't working right at the moment, so I'm just playing it safe for now.

You've made the right decision. Academics must come first; I learned that myself last semester and had to resign from the boards of half a dozen organizations. Good luck with your studies! :)

What do you mean? It's kind of the same everywhere in SA like that. It's called a cap and I'm nearing it really quick. Actually, seeing the page is working now, I should have hit it already, so I'm just glad I can still come online and post this.

*Hepz shakes her fist at SA's service provider* Don't they know everywhere else in the world has unlimited broadband. Well, 'everywhere else' being Georgia and Tennessee since those are the only two places I've ever had service - can't really talk about the rest of the world. ;)

Regardless, you're being missed and hopefully the 1st gets here in a hurry. :D

I'm off for two weeks; going to Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Connecticut, New York, and DC at various times! Any suggestions of things to do at this time of year will be greatly appreciated. :)

This is more of a chat absence but still worth noting I think.

For an unspecified amount of time I will not be present in chat. I apologize for any inconveniences and hope you all continue to have fun. I'll bring all sorts of good stories when I get back. Promise.
