Hi there. Anyone remember me? I used to be a member here until I kind of fell off the the world.

First off, I owe HUGE, enormous, unending apologies to Malchik, Chaosmaker, Adelbert and Fishystick. I left you in limbo with my RP that had been furtively getting off the ground when I left. I owed it to you guys for joining it to give you some reason why I stopped posting at least, and I was exceedingly remiss in not doing so. I hope you can forgive me for the insult. Now I'll tell you why I disappeared (the people who don't care and wander off now, suffice to say I'm back and shall soon be making an appearance all over this most magnificent forum. Go on, run along).

Back in March, my dad got ill. Cancer of the bladder. After a fair while he got the operation and he's fine, and chemo and everything has completely gotten rid of it. Unfortunately I went a wee bit off the rails; there was alot of other stuff going on with my family at the same time - my mum and her partner split up which lead to a load of financial problems which we are only now getting over, my sister decided to act up and cause even more stress for my mum, and of course there were my A-level exams creeping up bringing with them the promise of yet more worrying and really late nights.

But, I'm still here, so I couldn't have been that screwed up. And in truth I wasn't, but during those months I couldn't deal with any more, and by the time I got round to wanting to come on here and say why I'd disappeared it was just one more thing that I couldn't deal with. So, everything's past now, and having spent the summer basking in full mental health and an army of friends who have been just amazing, I've started getting back into the social swing of things. I went to the Reading Festival this year (utter musical ecstasy), I've joined a BF2 clan (www.eurowarriors.com) which I haven't been able to compete in on account of my graphics card going pop and no money to replace it; and then there's here. This forum was, when I was active, the greatest online community ever, and I have no doubts it still is. I'd like to become a part of it again, if you'll let me.

Sorry if I've embarrassed anyone or made you uncormfortable with that little backstory by the way, but I had to explain why I just ran off. I want to get back into the swing of things on here (not least because Oblivion is looming its beautiful head around the corner, although I won't be able to play it for a while lol), so here I am.

G'day, I'm loveme4whoiam, and I have returned.

Welcome back. I don't need an apology. Things happen to each one of us that is hard to deal with and we react in different ways - Theta strips the stairs, Dark0ne changes his socks, I play Wagner's Ring at full volume until the noise abatement society has me arrested.

We have few active members at the moment. I think they are all working to save up enough money to buy upgrades to enable them to play Oblivion (god, there are four 'tos' in that sentence what a grammatical hash!) But one or two who remain are still rpgers.

Look forward to seeing you around on the forum.

BTW it's way past my ugly sleep time but I fell asleep on the sofa for six hours and now have to wait until I can get my head back into its usual position before I can go to sleep again!

How did the exams go?

They went pretty well, although it turns out that the year before that I got a D in a history module which pulled my overall grade down, so the uni declined to let me in this time round. At the minute I'm still at college redoing that flunked module (Revolutionary France, piece of Frog-flavoured pie) while taking Psychology and Sociology to keep myself occupied I'm looking at reapplying to University, either Kent at Canterbury (first choice as its a cracking place, in the top 5 for History in the country) or someplace else. Glad to see the ole place is still alive, and I'm sure that once Oblvion's out theres going to be a whole lot more people invading our privacy
