We have heard our share of sob stories. I am not going to rant away with mine. A backseat driver with a botanist's voice has been blabbing on for weeks now into my ear. "Come on!" he has has been telling me without any sign of stopping. I am a glutton for peer pressure. If any of you want to know about my sob story, I will explain. I think everyone will be just fine knowing that I am back to punch around in the sand. I am not online as much as I used to be. Life is much different for me right now; things have stabilized, but I want to stick around. Time between my posts may be closer to a week, at least a few days. That is nothing new for anyone here. If things turn again for me, I am going to make sure I give you some more warning.

Good to hear from you again. Maybe I'll catch you around IM later?

My AIM is SorrowLPS right now... didn't know if most people knew already... the name has to do with my When All Can End story, and I have ZLUnbound linked to it. I forget to unghost ZL sometimes. I am not really on much, mostly weekend nights now. I should be on tonight, Sunday. I don't procrastinate on the internet so late anymore. I will probably sign off before 2 am EST these days.

I would have you know that my voice does not indeed sound like a botanist. You have completely disreguarded the long shrill in the tone of a mad scientist.

Always nice to have someone back, Zevais.

Hey Zevais Good to see you mate.

Long story short... I got a call back, and it looks like I will be getting a new full time job on mon-fri mornings 6am-3pm... early, ugh, but its work...

I have been keeping my fiance and I fed on art commissions that I have been slaving myself to get finished while my fiance has been working full time to pay the bills.

I am going to be really cramming my hours tight to finish my commissions before I start work. It will probably be at least a week before I am cohorent and awake enough to make a well written post; I may fit in a couple half-assed posts here and there. Psycko and Pter, you guys are pretty familiar with me ranting about my characters. I give you two to go ahead to fill in for my characters if the need arises. I doubt the AUG's world will start to collapse in one week, so I think you two probably won't have to.

Pter by the way, your stupid email isn't working... I keep getting those horrid mailer daemon message things saying your email doesn't exist. I don't have your business email anymore. I may call you if my aniversary thing doesn't keep me too busy tonight and tomorrow. In the meantime, have your sister email me her portfolio. I will see if any of my clients would like to commission her after I suspend commissions until I ready to start up again.

Yes, aol's server is being a bitch. A lot of AIM mail accounts are in flux including mine. I can't recieve yahoo users on my business email anyhow; the government setup blocks yahoo for some reason. You should have the portfolio in email now.

Good luck with the full-time; it is time to start working out that part-time lazy ass of yours.

Speaking of ass, how dare you suggest that I post for you rather than accept a half-assed attempt probably from your mobile phone! We will accept your half-assed posts, and we will like them! We will except nothing more!

How dare you suggest I WORK for YOU! *points finger*

There was supposed to be a few joint posts (HUGE ones) with Zevais. A few were to be place within Spark Fragments, and one was to be submitted into the Metal Frontier story. That was over a week ago.

Zev is having some personal issues again, and I don't blame him for bailing on me and leaving me high and dry. Honestly, I should have posted something shorter without the stuff he and I were working on. I do believe laziness has been my crutch. I've been exhausted and sleeping too much.

I don't think it will be tonight, but I will be posting by Friday: Spark Fragments and Metal Frontier. Zev may take a bit longer; its rough for him at the moment. He said I can post for him, but I don't think I am going to. I am just going to stick to my characters and leave his characters to the MODs.

At least I am going to be back, you all like me better than him anyhow. j/k

Yeah, screw that guy! We don't need no more none of his guff! I'm so pissed at him I'm stacking negatives! Heh.

Glad to hear you've got posts brewing- I understand if people are too busy to hit up Metal Frontier just now, I've been busy too.
