Hey Jorah.
I think it's been 10 months at least since I've been on here, judging by the message you left on my wall that I never saw. Just wanted to say thanks for conversing with me, even if I was unresponsive. :)
I'm still technically a member here and might get more involved again at some point, but I kind of decided a while ago that I should limit my interaction. I wasn't caught up in the episodes, and found that either I was spending too much time searching for something to say on this forum, or relying too much on interaction with other users. I'd check twice a day just to make sure I was never out of the loop. At one point a user even sent me a rather harsh PM due to a misunderstanding. At first I was really stung, but then I just kinda thought, "I don't know you. You don't know me. No one in 'real life' has EVER spoken to me like that. Why the heck am I putting up with this?" Maybe I should have left then but I stuck around for a little longer, then drifted away.
Gosh, sorry for being a bit melodramatic. Just trying to explain my absence, and that it wasn't because of disdain for kinder members like you and others on the Shipping Thread (who maybe weren't "kind" but were plenty fun), and that I hope all is well.
I've also gotten wrapped up in other fandoms, honestly. I truly love Pokemon still but it's pace feels slower and, after all these years, redundant at times. :/ I'll watch more in the summer.
I'm not sure anymore what the subjects were that you asked about (that I was taking in school, occupying all my time). I've been heavily involved- particularly this semester- in huge creative projects that I hope have a good result, but are otherwise time consuming. They're very cool endeavors, but leave me in a constant state of hitting the ground running. Hopefully that will calm down soon- in April, it will be over, and in May, it will all be over, for now.
So... I guess I'm just saying hey. :]
