Well, I ended up disappearing for quite a while. Unfortunately, I had planned on returning at the beginning of the semester, but.... I was in a rather bad car accident. My friend hit a guard rail going 75 mph, and we rolled over 5 times. Most of my time since then has been spent healing up and attempting to keep up with my classes, since I had to take some time off (in the hospital) and am in my last semester.
So I really hope to rejoin after I've actually finished classes!
