What a Long, Strange Trip It's Been
#1
It’s been one hell of a time, hasn’t it?


A Two years and six months ago, I was but a wee Sophmore in Highschool. I sat in our computer lab talking with Piroska over her newest discovery - Conquest of the Horde. It was a project. She was a Roleplayer and I wanted to try it out, you know, test the waters some.

It’ll be nothing, I thought. A little project. I’ll probably stay around for three months and loose interest. No way I’ll be able to ever see what’s inside their adult chat. Or whatever have you...

Four months later Piroska became a GM.

Two months after that, I became a GM.

Two years after that, I find myself sitting in the midst of my dorm room. Beside me is my friend on his own laptop as I sit and ponder the last years. No, I never became some big jock. Nor was I ever some big popular kid... but I was a good kid. I am happy with how this time was spent because I remained true to myself, and became a better person in result.

This wouldn’t have been possible without you all, my friends. Without CotH I wouldn’t have done as well as I have. Without CotH I would be as smart as I am....

Arguably, I owe being accepted into such a good college to Conquest of the Horde.

But still, I move on into unchartered territory. I’m living on my own, perhaps on my family’s money, but still I am responsible for myself. I sit here beside my friend and he says; “You’re not going to have time for Warcraft anymore man. There’s classes to take, parties to go to.”

What’s unfortunate is that he may be right.

This is by no means a absence post, but instead one of thanks, warning, and apologies.

I thank you CotH for all that you have given me, I thank you the dear friends I have made. But also I warn that I may not be around as much. there will be classes and lectures, clubs and parties, Papers and Tests. It’s time to set my nose to the grindstone.

And thus, I apologize. Most importantly I apologize to the Ash Wardens. I had a concept that was so well built up, yet time and time again I’ve found myself dropping the ball in terms of events and surely it’s not going to get any easier. I’m not going to be dropping the concept, but it’s only going to become harder to lead.

I don’t know what more to say at the moment, but perhaps the words will come to me later.

Once again, thank you my friends, and may your blades never dull.

Relevant: Are you prepared for cookie time, Strange Tripper?

Less Relevant: Take all the time you need -- enjoy college and play here when you can.

Remember the trio of me, Alexas and Andra waaaay back at the start of House of Autumn? You better. >:C

I'll see if I can get over my block and phobia for holding events. Even with me starting college, ain't letting Ash Wardens go under.

Um...what else. You're an awesome friend. Can't wait to see you come October!

Kick college's ass. <3

"Parties to go to" that's the way indeed.

Take care in college and remember that college is a great place.. usually. Don't forget to get good grades aswell, those are important indeed. We will still be here, or at least most of us, eh? Good!

When I was a little kid, my mom used to hang a sign up on my TV that said "Homework comes first, fun comes after." It even had a little "me gusta" face thing on it and everything. Point being, prioritizing is one of the most important skills you can ever learn in life. And college is a lot of that. If you learn to keep it all in balance, then you have won.

So enjoy classes, get some A's, join an activity (club, newspaper, radio station), and use a rubber. (That last part was pretty crude, but at the college I went to I was pretty sure you could get pregnant or the herpes if you leaned on the wall in Student Life too long.)

And...it has, and will be, a pleasure to RP with you, good sir! Thanks for always keeping things interesting, and your willingness to help out!

It's been a blast, Kril! Remember Tana? Eh? Eh?... We haven't role-played a lot. Sadness.

Best of luck to you! I'm joining the college train soon. Choo choo!

Good luck, mate! Try not to be a stranger. ... even if that's what this post was about.

I'm starting college and trying to find a job every other day. Though I'm not living on my own I know what you mean. Like c0r said, kick college's ass. And when you need a break from all that ass-kickery, CotH is here.
