Absence Thread

My old one did that, and it was something small. I forget what, but if I used a flashlight on the screen, I could see. Not very efficient, but that'll tell you if it's the backlight or something else. It only had a six month warranty? Fucking lame.

Other suggestion would be looking in the phone book for a used computer type of place, or even hitting yard sales as the weather gets nice to grab a spare monitor. It'd be ghetto, but better than nothing.

[Amaltheia Monarch]

Too bad I don't have a laptop I'd let you have the monitor, Sav. I have an archaic BOX monitor but I'm willing to bet you could Ebay something cheaper than it'd cost to shop what I have and I doubt what I have is even compatible.

Gotta love being awake this early just for class!

Hopefully I'll have a perfectly perfect laptop by next week. I called the place and spoke to someone, getting disconnected only ONCE, and someone should call BACK tomorrow or the next day to set up an appt. to make everything better. God only knows when someone will actually come here to fix it. "They" suspect it is merely a loose connector, which would be fanTASTIC. Since paying for a new screen would blow pretty hard. Anyway! *~optimism~* You guys must be praying hard.

[Zane Liten]

OMG YES. Computer God scheduled to descend upon my stoop tomorrow afternoon. With any luck I'll be back to my sleepless, internet-filled life by tomorrow night.

[Desiré Alys]

Awesome!  YOU must have been praying awful hard.

... AND SO SOON AFTER FINALS WEEK TOO....

So people. I'm going to California, which means that my planning to be active probably won't work quite as well as I was sort of semi planning on. Leaving tomorrow, getting back next Thursday, April 16, and I have no idea what kind of internet access I will have. And then there's the matter of other things to do even if I have it - after all, there are whales to watch!

So... yes. I will go from hardly active to nonexistent for a week, probably. I WILL TALK TO ALL OF YOU LATER.

[Zane Liten]

I'm feeling reallly unwell lately and need to get away from...well, anything that isn't sleeping, for awhile. I feel like my head is falling off. So, see y'all when I feel better...I'm not sure when that will be but...probably after finals, in a couple weeks.

*waves*

[Skye LeCroix]

I hope you feel better Sav

[Lothaire]

I think I'm gonna have to take a similar kinda leave, the semester is wrapping up, I'm busy and stressed as hell, and coming unhinged upstairs....badly....so yeah I need so time to myself to sort things out properly. Those of you that have my number feel free to text or whatever if you want, but I'm probably gonna drop off the web for a bit....so see you folks hopefully sooner than later...

[Charles Hawthorne]

Hey everyone, bluemoon here.

Listen, I'm really sorry for doing this right as I start getting active again, but I really need to hiatus. I seem to be suffering from some sort of extreme online burnout that's been about 4 years in the building. To try and solve this I'm gonna take a week or so where I just literally remove the ethernet cable from the computer and take it elsewhere so that there's no way for me to get online. It'll probably just about kill me, but hey, it will also mean that I have time to catch up in my classes. I need that.

So you won't be seeing me on im or here or anywhere around at all - I'm gonna be thinking of and doing different things and hopefully it will make me feel better, because I'm feeling pretty apathetic right now. But I need to go out and do things. Sorry to any those of you who were doing things with me, but with the way I've been feeling for the past several months it seems to be either this or just quit EVERYTHING and I don't want to do that.

[Baron Lazare]

Sigh.

This has just been sort of a rough year so far, I need to chill out away from computers and everyone I know, for awhile. I need a change of scenery! So. I'm heading up north to the internetless wilderness of the upper peninsula, to visit the grandfolks for a couple weeks. Wilderness always make me pretty enthusiastic about life again, so I'll probably, you know, actually roleplay when I come back. Cool, right? I think so.

I should be back around June 10 or so? Maybe a bit sooner.

See you guys later!

[Melisande Theroux]

Lol, out in the wild with no chance of internet. You'd better bring books!

[Baron Lazare]

I'm bringing dozens of books. o.o Maybe some clothes, too.

[Ash Leone]

Alright, folks.  Today is the move day and I have a zillion freakin' things to do on almost no time.  Definitely not going to manage net time today, and we don't have it hooked up at the new place, yet.  Hopefully, that will come within the week.  I can still be reached through text, and can even access the board through my phone to a point, but it means I won't be posting much of anything until that's straightened out.

[Lachlan Williams]

Hey guys. I bring bad news.

Listen, sorry about this, I know I just said hiatus, but honestly? I do not have the time to keep on posting here, like at all, for the foreseeable future. I've got too much on my plate and the result of this is that I feel like I'm about to flunk all my classes, I got a C on the last art project that I actually finished and I'm a art major and to make it better it was the area I want to go into and given the amount of time I had I was actually fairly HAPPY with a C, I have no time anywhere, posting here wouldn't be fun because it would be more time that I could be spent not failing my classes, and in a mostly unrelated note that was nevertheless apparently the final straw, I just killed my fish.

Anyway, the result of this (and many more things, to be honest, but that is long and complex and I don't want to bore you all) is that I'm dropping. Sorry, it was fun, I enjoyed posting with all of you. Possibly some day I'll be able to come back, but that day is not today. Anyway. Really, I'm sorry about this, this is by far the rp I've been around for the longest. Maybe I will get a chance to come back (or maybe my will power will crumble and I'll be back sooner than I thought, though I'll try not to let this be the case) but... yeah. I just can't handle this and college and everything else right now, so. I'm really sorry about this and I'll miss you guys, but I can't do it. I probably won't be online much either, as, you know, totally not flunking out of college sort of takes shotgun right now. Again, I'm sorry.

Bluemoon out.
