AN APOLOGY

[Deleted]

Hi everyone!

Okay, so I've been trying to put this off, but the truth is that I'm having a lot of trouble balancing everything in my life. It's my senior year of high school, so as most of you know, it's time for me to buckle down and apply to colleges. On top of that, I am taking pretty challenging classes this year while keeping up with at least 10 hours a week at my mom's nail shop. You have no idea how much I hate being away from TI and I wish I could keep the promises I've made to come back and post like a madman like I used to.

I feel really awful for promising to be back at certain times and not being there. Between work and trying to have a life with my friends, I have had very little time to be with you guys on weekends. In fact, I feel really estranged from the people I am close to in real life. No matter how hard I try, I really can't divide all of this time equally.

My muse has not been affected. I have been in a weird funk and haven't been motivated or truly emotionally stable, but my inspiration and love for my plots and characters will never die. Dramatic, yes, but I am forizzle. I love TI and can never have a better group of supportive, loving people to write with. All of you guys are great and talented and funny and sweet. So here I am telling you that I AM NOT LEAVING or POOFING or anything. BUT I won't be around as much as I would like to be, so I'm sorry about the commitments I am breaking when I don't show up when I say I will. Nothing excuses that, and I'm sorry.

I just want you guys to know that when I am not around, TI is on my mind. I will be around as much as humanly possible, but life has not been looking easy for me. It's beginning to become a struggle this year. When I can come and hang out, I will. Until then, I might be ghosting threads because it's the only option I have. When I am needed, you can reach me on my Facebook and AIM. Thanks, guys!

Don't feel bad love, we understand. Between applying for colleges and trying to get the hell out of high school, senior year can be a lot to handle so if you need some extra time yourself than take it, don't be ashamed. Just make sure you don't forget us. -clings- But we'll still be here for you after it's settled down and you've figured some things out.

Good luck with your last year and your college applications! I know those can be a pain but you'll get through it. =p LOVE YA, YOU SEXY BALL OF...LOVE. XD >_> Muah!

UPDATE: / COOKIE

I will be starting rhetorical analysis on a selected post or posts on this Thursday's Throwback posts. I will be picking a particular post from a current thread on Sundays to do rhetorical analysis. By that, I mean I will be looking at how ideas are stacked, how information is conveyed, and how the techniques that the writers at TI use affect readers. I will basically be talking up how amazingly we use language to promote our plots and characters. I hope everyone has some awesome threads for me to analyze.

It's been a great weekend that I've spent catching up, but I am officially banning myself from the computer (outside of schoolwork) to focus on school and clubs until 9 o'clock at night (on weekdays). During this time, I will be out of contact, but I will check PMs and AIM when I come on every night to catch up and such. I'll be thinking of you guys!
