Well, my time away from the EAB is a rather eventful one, to say the least. A lot of things have happened and to put it in a condensed way that does no justice, I've like to think I've grown up quite a bit over the past... uh... however long I was gone.
I still have some problems to deal with, but don't worry. Most of them are nearly solved, and the ones I need help with, I'll post in the advice section.
It's good to be back, even for a short time. My final concert in the highschool's over, and all that remains is finishing off the school year.
Hope nobody ate Donut's pies.
EDIT: In other news, I STILL haven't gotten my own computer yet... so for the time being, anyone who wants to contact me can contact me through AIM, and the once-in-a-blue-moon time I am on MSN.

Thanks guys. I hope, once the college process and stuff is overwith, I'm graduated, and I sort out my problems, I can be back in full-time.

Good to have you back, Flamester. I'm also glad to hear that you were able to sort out most of those problems you were having.

Flame, what number our we at for you leaving and coming back before even a month has gone by? Welcome back, for however long that may be. For however as many times as taking numerous advanced-level courses in highschool takes its toll on my stress and sanity. It's unavoidable when suddenly all the teachers put their projects due on the same two-week period. Not to mention, I help other people with their projects (I normally wouldn't do it, but I get paid for it [price depends on how involved I am with the project... doing a whole essay for a person can run from $25-$50]). As I said, it's only temporary... 'cause I still gotta be some kind of person at a wedding, gotta deal with my dad actually coming home, some issues at school with a couple friends of mine, my ex-girlfriend being lesbian (or bi) and having a load of people giving her crap about it... Then there remains the fact that I just lost a few of my best friends, 'cause I had changed my personality recently. I had been going through a hard time, forcing myself to stop being an idealist and more of a realist. Then my co-author asked me again when my next chapter for my novels are coming out. Then I had to finish a music composition within a few weeks, because I had heard that somewhere there was a competetion for high-school composers. I have to fill out some scholarship forms, attend an "academic excellence" banquet, deal with crap from my family for going to community college instead of MIT, put up with a piece of shit computer, become mediator/counselor to a metric f*ckton of problems that other people have (I now have a bit of a rep for being a good advice giver). Then my parents are still fighting with each other, even when they got their divorce over five months ago. My sister got pregnant again, so now I think I have two nieces (or nephews). My cousin is in the hospital for a collapsed lung. My grandfather had a heart attack, and has to rest. My grandmother had a smaller heart attack, luckily nothing serious. I'm actually failing a class for the first time in my life. It's bad enough that my parents breathe down my neck when I get lower than a B (they even get a bit uncomfortable when I pull under an A), but now I might be failing the class (not just the marking period). It's only the tip of the iceberg here. Some are personal problems that I need to sort out on my own, but others I shall elaborate on in the "advice" section when I actually find the time in my life to type it up. I really need the help and advice (and I don't trust most people IRL... even adults), but I'm busy enough that I can't make big posts (or at least, big enough to explain the problem ). |

Community College now, MIT when your meaningless freshman/sophomore general education classes are over...something I wish I had thought over before dumping a full year of tuition into a floundering year at a private university I can't afford. Smart, actually... *nod*
Everybody has issues, issues, issues!!! ;D
But anywho, glad to have you back with us Flame. And always remember, it takes forty-something muscles to smile, 17-something to frown, but none to make a look of clueless indifference.

I always heard it the other way around with the smile and the frown thing... And it seems to change from 40 to 4 and 17 to 12. *now horribly confused*
Anywho. Welcome back to the Best Forum Evar, Flame! Let's hope you stay back. Bummer about all that family crud, good to hear you've got most of your school stuff straightened out.

Yeah. With college apps done and overwith, SAT stuff done, AP crap overwith, Finals coming up, last semester almost done, graduation coming up... final concert for band finished... that's a nice chunk of the worry gone.
I even recorded the band playing my composition... I have a bad habit of listening to it, perhaps a bit too much... but I'm still excited that they played it. ^-^
