So, I've been meaning to post here more ever since the Chicago m00t in Evanston. I got to know a lot more people there, and got a little more comfortable with the idea. Before, I just new a few people...namely Borry, Rune, and Elsha. A few more vaguely, like friendly acquaintances. The m00t came and went, time passed, and I decided that I would start posting here as soon as I got double ringbearer on TORC. I got that a few months ago, and put off posting mainly because of time constraints - university and work keep me pretty busy, as well as planning for summer, work, internships, possible volunteering or study abroad...just lots of stuff.
It's 1:30 AM right now. I have to finish reading half of The Knight's Tale and write a detailed, analytical response to turn in tomorrow for my 300-level Chaucer class. It was during one of my stress/procrastination episodes tonight that I realized there was never going to be a "right", convenient time for me to start posting here. So I've decided to stop waiting for one. I've been looking forward to getting to know more people here, and I don't want those constraints holding me back anymore.
Also there's been some more drama on the other boards, the events of which I just unleashed on poor Don, who just got online at the wrong time. So this place is new, yet familiar, and an escape. Sounds pretty darn good to me.
Please let me stay?
