Goodbye, So Long, Farewell II

[Coidzor]

Well, I seem to no longer be turning into an Angry Marine.

[Dr. Bath]

?

Glad to hear you are less ragey Coid.

[Ichneumon]

Im going on a small hiatus for a few months. I've been drowning in work recently and I don't seem to be able to keep up with my reading for my new study (Sociology) I'm beginning in a few weeks.

[X2]

I'm outta here folks! I often drop in and out but this latest period of visiting has not been fun at all. Two slightly related things happened in this day alone that have just cinched it. I might come back, nothing is certain after all. Especially with me.

Peace! We out!

[arguskos]

Uh. Yeah. I hate coming back to this thread. I'm not gone, but something occurred today that freaks me out so badly I have issues posting now. I'll continue to post in the PbPs I'm a player in, but otherwise, don't expect to see me around much, if ever.

Ah, man. Sorry to hear that.

[The Rose Dragon]

Good news everyone! I've got a delivery to make to the No Internet Planet in the Virtual Addiction Star System!

...is what Farnsworth would say if he were in my shoes.

So, I've been diagnosed with internet and gaming addiction. As such, I've to quit both in a week. Meaning I won't be able to come back for a long time after that.

Just wanted to say what crappy people you've been and how I'm never gonna miss you. Ever. You all suck and I'm glad to be rid of you.

((I intend to come back once my psychologist allows me to, even though it might not be as often as now. The above comment is a joke. Please don't ban me.))

[Reinholdt]

So, I've been diagnosed with internet and gaming addiction.

What?! We don't have any of that here!

Bye TRD. Good luck with life out in... that... place out... there. What do they call it again?

[Lord Loss]

TDR! We'll Wiss Moo! Also, so that you can come back all the faster, I reccomend you do a sport. I don't know if you already do a sport, but here are a few faves. I don't know if you already do one, or if you would want to do one, but here are some nevertheless.

1) Karate/ Kickboxing/ Other martial art that focuses on working out almost, if not more than, fighting/ technique. Doing this 4 times a week is awesome and, after the first few weeks you actually sorta know what it is you're doing (and in the long run can do like a zillion push ups)

2) Tennis. I did this for four years I would have continued but... that's a long story. I find it to be a fun pastime that you can play with friends. Also lessons are always good. And Pong doesn't count.


3) Kayaking Club. Excluding this summer, I did this three hours a day five days a week. And it's the most fun I've had in a long time.

Oh my god. After leaving this forum I stared into the abyss of mind crushing boredom, I was able to claw myself back here in time before I went absoloutley insane. So yeah... I'm back.

[Recaiden]

Well, I've started college, and has it ever been horrible. But it didn't quite kill me, so here I am again.

[Blue Ghost]

Good to know that you're surviving, Rec! You still have time for Playgrounding these days?

[Recaiden]

I have plenty of time. I just don't know if I have the willpower to do anything but drag myself to classes. Life really, really sucks right now. So I may well take a break again soon.

[DraPrime]

No doubt someone is already reading this, ready to make some snarky comment about how I came back again. Well shut it, no snarky comments are allowed here.

Anyways, I kinda wanted to give a bit of an update. It's been a while since I announced that I was leaving, and I only popped in a few times after that. For those that missed the last memo, I'm going to be incredibly busy with studying in seminary to become a Catholic priest. Given that this will take up an enormous amount of time, I will simply no longer be showing up here again. Ever. Life is calling, I'm growing up, and moving on. Goodbye, it was fun. Thank you to those of you who were friendly with me and provided me with great discussion and entertainment. You know who you are better than my absent mind does, so I won't name any names. If anyone here feels some outrageous longing for me then contact me at [email protected]. Otherwise, goodbye.

*gracefully exits*

[Serpentine]

Oooookay... I don't quite see why you getting ordained means you have to rule out even the possibility of having some connection to this forum in the future, but whatever. Good luck, hope it works out for you.

[DraPrime]

Well currently I'm about 8 years away from being ordained. However, those 8 years are filled with studying philosophy, praying, doing pastoral work (visiting the sick and poor, teaching, etc.), and learning theology. It's all very demanding, and for the last 4 years my summers will be spent helping run parishes. Once I am ordained, I will have a ton of work to do, since my diocese has a severe shortage of priests, which means that pretty much any parish that I'm assigned to will have an overload of work.

In the end, this is something that I am dedicating myself to totally, without any compromise.

[Serpentine]

Still doesn't explain why the burning of bridges is a necessity.

[skywalker]

It doesn't. It just means he'll have a crapton of work, don't expect him back. Why is that so hard?

[Quincunx]

This is Dragonprime. You've met, right? (For newcomers, Dragonprime used to have a revolving door relationship with quitting the forum, but he's had that under control for some time. Now it's just fodder for the occasional joke.)

[Dallas-Dakota]

Heck, I think his revolving door relationship with quitting the stronger is even bigger then mine.

As I said before DP, good luck with life and have fun!

[Keld Denar]

Dragonprime, you'd have many kudos if you could work your interest in D&D and whatnot in with your ministries, especially youth ministries. I think it would have been awesome to play D&D with my old pastor. It really is an awesome easy way to reach out to youth and teach.

GL to you, hope you'll pop in and check in every once in a while to let us know how everything is going!

[Blue Ghost]

I commend you on your dedication, DP, and I believe you are doing the right thing. I wish I could be as uncompromising as you. Good luck.

[Fortuna]

Well, I'm leaving.

Not leaving the internet, but leaving nonetheless.

The fact is, I'm cruising through high school. Doable, and I'm getting good marks, but I could get better. Looking over my past week, I think I've spent more time in the playground than I have sleeping. I've made any number of attempts to cut down on how much time I spend here, and nothing works. Drastic measures are therefore called for.

Until I develop a work ethic, be that days, weeks or years, I shall not post in the playground. The closest I'll come is to see if OOTS has updated sometimes. I'll be back, of course, but that could be a long while away. My apologies to people in games with me or run by me, naturally, and I wish the playground as a whole happy gaming.

*sticks head slightly through the revolving door*

Hush you. The distinction between a bored lazy high school student and a seminarian is a big one.

*pulls head back out*

[Serpentine]

We'll just go with "I find absolutes silly and rarely accurate".

[arguskos]

We'll just go with "I find absolutes silly and rarely accurate".

Given I've seen you advocate somethings in absolutes before, I find this... amusing. Not like I have place to talk, of course.

[Pyrian]

That's why she said "rarely" instead of "never".

[Dallas-Dakota]

DP, college student. I'm doing my thing, you yours. Thenk you.

The reason is the same, this place distracts us from what we should be doing.(even though that is no longer valid for me, since I pulled toghetter the willpower to just not go to Giant during workhours.)

[Serpentine]

Given I've seen you advocate somethings in absolutes before, I find this... amusing. Not like I have place to talk, of course.

Really? When? Usually I'm pretty careful about my qualifiers... It'd have to be something I feel really, really strongly about.
