Before everything, I want to say that I'm so grateful that you chose me to be hosted all those years ago. I really did have fun and truly put myself out there because you gave me a voice and platform. Xepher, you are a great host of hosts. If you ever find yourself in the Seoul, South Korea area, you email me. I'll show you what kind of hostess I can be.

I feel that I haven't been very attentive to my site for so many reasons life has given me. I have only periodically come around to see what is going on with this forum as a lurker. I see that I am still a member and I don't feel I deserve to be one anymore.

I have been living in South Korea for a while now working as an ESL teacher, my time is too fixed and I barely have time to even look at the computer unless it's to check emails and use instant gratification sites like Facebook.

I need closure and a sense of privacy. I also couldn't find the button on the User Services page.

The truth is I never really left. I was working three jobs til my feet were sore to the point of bleeding, and I never got to get on the plane to Japan. I was supposed to get there by December of 2005 but the school director pushed it back to February 2006 and then she didn't call me back.  So I was sad and took up a full time job that I was offered. And just last week as I was offered another way to get there, my dad has a heart attack. Nice.

So I guess I have to put some dreams on back-burner. Again. I hope nothing really changed round here. I know some things like Xepher's wanting to better the security and stuff.

So there it is. Hi, I'm home. I hope the reception is not cold.

I actually had a virus run through my putt-putt computer recently so I had to start from stratch again. So this time, I didn't get FTP but SSH to manage my files but I have been having trouble with the initial log on. Is it because I don't remember the password? Username? Or just don't get how you use it?

I've read and re-read that post with stellar tutorials on using it but its not connecting me. I'll try again tomorrow but does anyone have advice?

I've contemplated long and hard on this...

I have decided that I'm going put the site on hiatus or close it down. I don't want you to think that I've just lost interest or just plain lazy or something. I am grateful to you for giving me a chance to show the world who I am for these two years.

The truth is: I'm getting a job to teach English in Japan. By December I will be leaving my home and my loyal PC to live in a small city of Kiryu, Gunma, Japan.  This is all exciting and stressful at the same time, but this is a dream that I have been wishing for since I graduated high school.  I'm thinking my worst case scenario is not having a internet connection to update the site properly, having only to resort to internet cafes or friends' PCs. Though buying a computer there is a high priority, I don't think it'll be till I'm settled and making money.

Right now, I'm working three jobs and finding it crazy hard to even find the time to sleep and eat square meals! I just wouldn't be fulfilling a promise (to myself) about updating the site and I have a heavy conscience as it is.

If you could tell me a way to have the comics still up, I'll eventually finish the stories for each.  Mind you, it'll be slow and paced - opposite from the way I've been updating with 10 or more pages an update.

I sincerely hope you understand.
