I think, to a greater or lesser extent, that I can be rather unreliable and flaky. I don't say this as a plea for help (gehck) or a plea for compliments, but simply as an observation...more and more I've slacked some of my silly INTERNETZ responsibilities for the sole reason that, you know what? I've gotten bored. And it's kind of shameful, really ( Read more... )

:) It made perfect sense and was perfectly non-rambly. <3 thank you muchly.

I have to commend you, honestly -- you're one of the few people I've met who's really taken a year for a break and known full-well that you're going back to college next year. Some people really can make that work -- like you. Others take the year off as an excuse to get more money and never really come up with it. But I know what you mean. And I see the logic in it perfectly. For some, a break-year really does help them put everything together. I don't think I'm that burned out, but I understand why it'd be necessary.

Gah, RPs...I used to do them, hardcore, and then all the people involved slowly started fading out, and it just...kinda...stopped. Which really made me sad. ;_; It takes a lot of devotion, which I don't think many of us could've kept for so long. Sad face.

I'm going to the University of Nevada, Reno, for journalism, though I'm really thinking of double-majoring in something geeky like geology.

What about you? I've been kinda lurking on your college choices, but have you made anything definitive?

Thanks. I had no choice, really - if I didn't go to college at all, even if I didn't want to, I would have been killed by my family. We take education seriously. I know someone who's done that - she said "oh, next year", and this is her second year waitressing and not even applying to community college. So I'm riding her ass on that. I have another friend who's graduating this year and taking a gap...but I think she's just going to be lazy and watch anime and play video games the whole time, so I'll have to ride her ass about that, too.

That's exactly what happened to my favorite Proboards RP. It started out as a Harry Potter one, and then mutated into something with demon battles...and then in the middle of the long, involved plotline, everyone deserted and the site collapsed. So yeah, sadface. :(

Ooh! Nevada's lovely. I should have thought of going somewhere warm. (William & Mary was the furthest south I applied...d'oh.) As for my choice? Hahahaha, nooo, not yet. Still waffling about, as I am wont to do. I'll probably still be waffling at 11:00 PM on the 30th..."No, William & Mary! No, GMU! No...!"
