Wow.
Go away for a few weeks and you miss all sorts of things...
A few people have emailed me and asked me where I've been. So I'll tell you. I'm ok. It's just that I haven't been able to get on EnWorld much the last couple of weeks, due to the sudden decision to not allow web surfing at my job
and the moving around of furniture in my living room, which has left my computer table blocked by a huge table. I seriously used to spend a very good portion of my work day on EnWorld. It got me through the day. Then, this crazy lady decided that it offended her that "other people were surfing the net while she was busy working" 
and so they started keeping track of who was on, when, and how long.
No more EnWorld for Djeta....
I knew about the donations, because I did donate a little (using MojoGM's computer) but I didn't realize just how much was gathered from everyone to help save EnWorld. Wow! This is such a great site, and you really don't realize how much this community means to you until you're away for a while. And I'm lucky enough to have been able to get a spot in two of PirateCat's games for the Boston gameday. But aside from that, I feel like I'm so behind in my EnWorld thread reading...
I snuck online today at work and saw at least 25 threads I want to post to. Not to mention my own thread about gnomes, which I need to respond to...
Oh my.
For a while there, I think I was getting overwhelmed with being online so much. And the games in my life have come to a pause. The Star Wars game I was looking forward to playing in (not to mention spend a while coming up with my characters background) is now being held off indefinitely because the DM had to get a second job. My other game is going on a brief hiatus while MojoGM runs another game. For a while, I was worried I'd be without a game But the nice folks in the other game Mojo runs asked me to join (hence, the gnome). Do you ever worry that you won't have a game? It was darn scary & sad thinking I might not be able to do something I love so much. Then I heard about EnWorld possibly going down and I shuddered. I realized that gaming is my favorite pastime and that life without it , well, it just wouldn't feel right to me.
Gaming has made me a better person, in so many ways. It's helped spark my creativity and imagination. It's helped an otherwise anti-social person become involved in a social activity. It's helped my ability to do math. It's helped my communication skills. It's made me think about history, current events and the future more than ever before. It's made me read the classics and wonder about other cultures.
EnWorld has added to this as well. Greatly. You're all awesome.
That said, I feel like I have been missing a part of my daily routine the last few weeks. Not to mention missing a lot of my friends. *sigh* I know this is sappy and way off topic, but I just wanted to let everyone I miss being on EnWorld 7 hours a day... and I'm moving that table away from blocking my computer tonight & planning to be back on soon...
