So no, I'm not dead yet and no, This isn't one of my "normal" absences, so let me give a quick explanation.
I've been planning to go to CO to get someone very important to me out of a dire situation. I didn't want to say this too soon for fear it may jinx the whole operation so, fingers crossed this doesn't. I'll be leaving at noon tomorrow and I'll be back sometime in the following week. I'll be sure to post something right before I leave for anyone who cares.
Thanks for sticking around, seeya.
