Hello all.
I know that I posted quite a while ago saying that I would provide an explanation for my absence, so I feel obligated to do that know. First off, know that throughout much of my internet life, Sal's was my online home, and I feel that my sudden leave was inappropriate.
When I left Sal's (almost two years ago now?), I was gearing up to enter the adult world. I had college applications, countless essays, and the (at the time) hardest schedule of my life in front of me. I thought I would been able to take it slow here on the forums, but as I started posting less and less, and I began feeling like my non-virtual life was more and more important. I began thinking that Sal's was more or less a waste of time for me and I needed to cut myself out of it.
So in a way, I've come back to apologize. Sal's has actually enhanced me as an individual, so I'm very grateful for that. Everything, from the Debate Room to the Story Mat to the people I've met to the community at large, has contributed to my growth. Now, one year out of college, I'm finding that I can't really deny that to myself anymore. I've faced tougher schedules, harder classes, longer papers, tougher emotional and social situations than ever in the past two years. A lot has changed, but a lot has stayed the same. Anyway, expect me to pop in some more this summer. I've got some writing I'd like to get done, as well (looking at you, Fake - and anyone else interested!).
Soooooooooo, Sal's.........what's up? :D
