Knightwatch Posted February 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 Thanks bud! I was down with the sickness (ah wah ah ah ah?), and then down with the lifesuck, but I'm slowly but surely getting myself in order. Good to be back.

Knightwatch Posted February 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 It was pretty much exactly like that, if by finding the love of my life you mean being heartbroken and by having a grand time you mean being a fun-sucking void of unjoy.

Knightwatch Posted February 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 hahaha I rather doubt there will be a notable stampede, excepting one in the opposite direction.

AKLulu Posted February 26, 2012 Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 Thanks for the notice! I'll start organizing the stampede *whispers with the other females.* Not so many weeks ago I was a fun-sucking void of unjoy too, but in the end I guess it wasn't meant to be. So I took a page from Barney Stinson's book and followed his theory of "When I get sad, I stop being sad and start being awesome instead." Sounds like you got that memo - grats on the press!
