Greetings vode and vodettes. I just wanted to bring yall in on some stuff thats going on with me. Don't worry, this isn't some emotional "my life sucks and here's why" kinda thing, I just wanna talk with y'all real fast.
I'll get you guys the TL:DR here: I'm real busy as of late, wish I could be on more, and I love you guys more than Spongebob loves flippin burgers.
Now, to start off - I'm not as active as I want to be. This is simply because life gets in the way. I work 0800-2200 three days a week, with an hour commute each way. I also attend college full time three days a week. So right now I really only have one day to myself, and I like to spend it that way - usually with some time on the gun range, or paintballing, or just vegging out with a book/video game.
That said, I'm not nearly as active as I want to be. My job, by nature, is unpredictable. Yeah, we have "prescheduled" calls that map out the basics of a work day for me, but that doesn't account for all the unscheduled dr appointments, hospital discharges, and all that jazz. So, with each call taking about an hour, I tend to have between 3 and 11 calls per day, That eats up all my time. And with my data plan on my phone, I am pretty much barred to only checking this stuff when I have wifi - which isn't often.
So that's why I'm not around as much as I want to be.
Secondly, I just wanted to say, that you all -each and every one of you - have a special place in my heart.
When I created this blog more than 14 months ago, I had no idea what I was getting my self into. This is my absolute first RP. Not just RP blog, but my FIRST EVER ATTEMPT AT RP. I loved it instantly. The community was amazing, and the people I interacted with daily were just incredible people. I had never had so much fun with anything in my life before. But something happened.
One day, I was busy and simply forgot to check in. That one day turned into three days, then a week, then a month, and then I just didn't get back on. Eight months went by before I had a realization one day that, I desperately missed you guys. I had to come back. And so, about a week ago, I did just that.
I was deeply saddened by the fact that many of the people I had interacted with so long ago were gone: blogs deactivated, moved on to new characters that I wasn't privvy to, or has simply moved on with life. I felt I had let them down by just vanishing without so much as an explanation, or a good bye. I just, disappeared.
You all have had a major role in my life, whether you know it or not. This community is what helps me through rough days like today. I look forward to getting on and seeing what ner vode are getting into today. It's like reading my favorite book only, I can talk to my favorite characters! [That said, I don't like playing favorites, so you're all my favorite <3] Thank you all for being with me through everything. I've interacted with many of you more often and more in depth than with many of my friends IRL, and I've never met any of you. That to me, is special, no matter how you paint it. I've never felt more welcomed and loved in any endeavor I've ever undertaken. Thank you all so much. I hope to be here to stay for a while! This is the best thing that has ever happened to me, and you're all a part of it. And for that, I will always love you guys - all of you. Those that have been with me since I started so many months ago, and even those I haven't had a chance to interact with.
And to those I haven't talked with much, I say this with an outstretched hand:
"I am Republic Commando RC-5108/8843. My friends call me Corr. It's a pleasure to meet you."
