chaos_Leader Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 I'm not sure what I should say here. I haven't really been around here for a very, very long time: a couple years or a bit more since I was regularly active. I used to know at least some of the people still kicking around this place, and I'd like to think I as at least reasonably well received by the folks here. In short, without really getting into details, I believe I can sum up the root cause of my absence as being an "awkward social situation" that led to a lot of regret, and memories here associated with it. I just kind of drifted away after that, moved on to other things. I don't like that it happened, because there were a lot of good memories I had of this place, and a lot of really fun people to share them with. I hope I can make good return, and be glad to call this place my online home again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chaos_Leader Posted February 17, 2016 Author Share Posted February 17, 2016 Hey there! I've been busy. Ship life will do that (also Hawaii is not nearly as cracked up as it's advertised to be. Cool place, but don't get too enamored by the hype.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naza Sutera Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 *approaches you, looks you from head to toe, then wrinkles nose like you are wearing the new fragrance called Eu du Diarrhea before turning nose upward and walking away* That's my way of saying Hi.

Kurt Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Boat life? (PS Hi.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaos_Leader Posted February 18, 2016 Author Share Posted February 18, 2016 Ship life. Mariners get very, very particular about the distinction between "boat" and "ship". (generally, the rule is a boat can fit comfortably on a ship). But really, I work pretty much 7 days a week, every day of my 6 month contract from start to finish. The satellite internet I get from the ship is... terrible, and I still have to pay to use it (though I can use my phone as a wireless hotspot at many places, just not when out to sea.) Despite all that, I really do like the work I'm doing. I'm just so busy all the time. I think there was a member who was a member of the military who'd occasionally post here: ship life is logistically kind of like that, sometimes akin to a Navy deployment, only its on a cruise ship.

Dr. Orange Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 It's good to see you visit in-between the time working on a raft. Long time no read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe you're referring to Rebel_Gunman, whom I hope is doing alright these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clearwater Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Ah, it's good to have an older member rejoin our ranks! Welcome back! No idea if I was around when you left (Or if you even remember me), but no sweat if you can't. Welcome back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
