...herp derp

This may seem sudden but in light of circumstances that have been building for a while, I feel that I must leave Sing. Lain, Carolina, Arthur (who hasn't intro'd yet) and Hanna are going home. Psi and Chi can stay with Maine if Chelsey prefers. NPC Lev will be taken over by another mod at the team's discretion.

Er.

I promised myself I'd never do one of those backpedaling drop posts, but you can definitely thank Vic for smacking me a good one and having me change my mind. I'll be staying around, though my role on the moderation team may change.

As some know, I am a full-time grad student in addition to holding several jobs. The combined stress was taking its toll on my ability to stay involved with the game, but I am working now with my fellow mods to arrange a better solution. I never wanted to leave anyone holding the bag and I definitely have some big plans for the game itself. If I can continue to be involved creatively I would be honored if you all would still have me.

So, my biggest apologies to the playerbase at large. I know this break in composure isn't, er, very flattering, but thank you everyone for being sympathetic and helping to ensure Sing stays on track. ;3;

Hey you

I am also a full-time grad student, though I only have a part-time job (this is stressful in itself, though, because I can't quite meet monthly expenses...) so I completely understand. I also understand the whole flounce/OHWAIT NM thing, it totally happens sometimes. We are all but human.

So: TL;DR, glad you are staying on with us bb. Breathe, don't stress too hard, and know that I'm sure everyone will be patient with you and respectful of your needs in regards to time.

so glad you are not leaving also because I am considering apping {...} (Zombie) and I need someone to enable me.

come on convince me.

AND - if you ever need to rant to someone about OH GOD IT'S GRADUATE SCHOOL MY BRAINZ I am always willing to listen. &hearts

sdgbkflgfj GRAD STUDENT FIST BUMP. Oh god you're kind of my savior, okay.

And, sob, thank you for being understanding. Not going to lie, I love that this game is still so intimate and slow. I feel connected with all of you guys here, no lie.

so glad you are not leaving also because I am considering apping {...} (Zombie) and I need someone to enable me.

*ENABLES*

*ENABLES*

*ENABLES*

*FIST BUMP* in fact today alone I am behind on my fifteen page research paper for next month AND all my readings GOOD JEORB SELF GOOD JEORB :|

That is kind of why I joined. I was like "AGH GRAD SCHOOL WORK butIwanttoRP"

"oh hay tiny squishy game that alba and jolta are at. also robots"

"nnngh I shouldn't - oh oops there's my app DERP"

God I know right. "I should really give this up-- well I guess I can approve apps during discussion. FUCK ME THIS IS ADDICTION."

I vow to keep this game relaxed enough that we can both enjoy it. Because hell, if it's any indication, I was so in need of a game that could accommodate school that I MADE ONE.

*cultivates robots forever* :c

"Meh, my job is IT so I can totally just. tag in between readi-GODDAMNIT"

i keep telling myself that WELP at least it's not alcoholism like my parents! Yes that's totally... damn it... :(

Aghsdfn yes oh gadn. I'm so... idk, I left the first game I founded because it got too big for me :( so... yeah.

[/fills game with robots]

i should be doing my readings now in fact I just

today has been a bad day for working :(

ALSO I am glad I am not the only person who is like "JESUS, DISCUSSION IS BORING AS FUCK TODAY *tags tags tags* *prays that fellow students aren't like 'what are you doing'*

hey hey what's your degree in

Note to other mods, stop advertising and keep Sing slim and pretty on a water diet forever.

GOD IT'S NOT EVEN that discussion is necessarily bad a lot of the time it's just like LOL WHAT YOU GUYS TALK ABOUT HEIDEGGER OKAY BEING A MOD HAS MORE TO DO WITH MY PROFESSION THAN YOUR DEAD BEARDED GUYS.

I think on paper I'm in Cinema?? But my focus is on new media studies and practice so it's a fun conversation to have with those parts of the cohort who have trouble checking their email and think videogames are something their boyfriends keep wanting them to try. :c

*clings to game* PRECIOUSSsssssss

I'm worst in my class on how to teach undergrads, because I so fundamentally disagree with our teaching methodology that I have threatened to set our textbook on fire. So class is mostly me going B|

I am (MFA) in Creative Writing and my focus is nonfiction. so I hang out with people who navel-gaze a lot and like... encounter douchewads who say things like "oh yeah I work three jobs and I'm taking four classes (WAT) and I write three hours a day and still have time to go out every night"

and then I go cry in a corner yeeep.

Oh god haha. I AM the person taking four classes (well, three and a research group) and working three jobs. But I definitely don't get much time to socialize, if that helps.

I'm admittedly so not engaged in the discussions on teaching methodology. It's not even possible for me to TA till next semester at the earliest, and now that I'm not entirely certain I WANT to pursue a PhD, it's a whole ton of ¯\(°_o)/¯. WHAT IS THIS $50K USELESS DEGREE.

ohgod you poor thing I am going bonkers enough with three [/pets]

To be fair, this girl also sleeps only three hours a night and I am pretty sure she does meth or something. This is the only explanation I can come up with.

Yeah it's like... I don't care. Also, five paragraph essays are the easiest way to make freshmen hate you, and I don't know why we teach them, and hgndcnh gah.

I can't even TA till next year, and at my school they don't even give you that much for it (other than y'know, regular pay + teaching cred). I may only take it if it actually pays more than my job at IT, which it might not. Also, IT job = I can do homework or sit on the computer while working.

/SITS WITH IN DEBT FOREVER GOING WHY DID WE DO THIS...

Seriously Imhotep how can you leave your best friend and technical employer all alone with no one to princess-carry him.

This kid can't get in copious amounts of life endangerment and call you a random assortment of mythological names on his own.

And who else is he going to get so protective about he spontaneously loses his shirt for?

AND WHO ELSE WILL HE TRADE POKEMON WITH?

I DON'T KNOW

can haz icon source plz

also some kind of journal name

I guess I could go for idkmybffhanna

or dot_dot_dot but it's probably taken

or hotdeadguy

if I wanted to be srz I guess it could be papercranes but that's probably also taken

/SCREAM

tell me again about loving something to the point of obsession, Izanagi.

AH, AH, AND I GOT ALL MY ICONS FROM THIS PLACE (http://community.livejournal.com/hinabn/tag/fanwork%3A%20icons). They have a lot.

NMNgnm nomnom icons

also, it will be a ... while...? Before I can actually app, namely due to aforementioned epic fail re: skool. I SHOULD BE RESEARCHING DAMn it all

That's okay, I can be patient. And well, SCREAM, papers and sorting out next semester's courses and all that. Hanna will still be here, playing his MMO and waiting for all these sci-fi types around him to stop being melodramatic...

... oh lol yes. courses. for next semester. and... loans... and applying for food stamps... and...

... I should probably... try to get some granfdnafd /scream

man seriously what is with these robots and space marines and their ~dramu~

Can you even get food stamps as a student? I heard they reject you because student != poor, SOMEHOW.

even space marines and giant robots gotta have a good cry sometimes

VIC

YOU'RE STILL PLUNGING YOUR SWORD INTO HOLLOW BOY HERE, RIGHT
