Bad News

Post by hailthorn011 »

So, I have some unfortunate news. You may (or may not) have noticed that I have been largely inactive this week. There have been a great many reasons behind this. One would be that I've had some issues at home. The second is that I've mostly been away from the computer a lot of the time.

I'm going to be moving in with my girlfriend and her folks permanently, and so my presence online will likely diminish greatly because they have terrible internet service where they live. This is unfortunate because it will definitely reduce the amount of time I can play Go on KGS. If I'll be able to play out all.

I'll try to get on as much as possible, but I can't necessarily promise anything. I will say that some of the greatest fun I've had this past year has been with Go. I've met some very influential people during this span of time. I've had laughs, I've had tears, and all that comes in between.

This isn't exactly a goodbye. I still plan to play Go. I still plan to get on here. I just doubt I'll be as busy as I have been lately. I just want to say thanks for all the good times, and I hope my situation will get settled and I'll be able to get back to playing with earnest!

Until I get to her house though, I doubt I'll be getting on. Today and tomorrow will be filled with a lot of prep work for the move. And then of course I'll be settling in to a completely different way of life.

On a happier note, I wish you all the very best! Thanks for putting up with my antics for so long! :D

:shock: Oh, well...

Anyway, best of luck, go is hard to quit. :)
That which can be destroyed by the truth should be.

Don't count on it. Unless you have known these people for decades, you will be moving into a family dynamic that you probably don't understand and that you may not even recognize. You might not fit.

Make your top priority in life to have enough money for first month + deposit so that you can move out any time that you need to.
