User blog:SpaceWeather/Hey I'm Back... But Why Was I Gone?

Okay first of all hi guys, I'm back! I'm so so sorry for being gone so long... but I had a major issue. My old laptop, and the only way I could get on the internet period, finally crapped the bed. Now I've been able to fix the old hunk of junk in the past, but this time it really went. Apparently something either sparked or just overheated to extremes... and it caused the inside of the laptop to literally catch fire. Luckily the fire only damaged the laptop and a nearby usb, so my other belongings and I are unharmed. Unfortunately that laptop, as I said, was my only true means of using the internet for leisure. In short, I had to buy a new one. Now that alone took some convincing of my mother, (stingy aboout spending money, including me spending my money) and the better part of two weeks to accumulate the funds to be able to purchase a laptop I thought'd be nice to use. So yeah, now I have a new laptop and I can be with y'all again!

There's a catch though... I lost EVERYTHING!

When I say I lost everything, I mean I lost everything. All of my short stories, fics, character bios, and all that jazz. Sad part is... I was prepared for it. I backed up everything I had on a usb... which happened to be plugged into the computer when it caught fire. So yeah, as I said before the usb went up in smoke too... and now I have nothing except what little I copied to here and google drive. Unfortunately... that also includes all the work I did on the wiki project... which I think my absence may have all but killed. I also lost all eleven of the TDRelocated chapters I had written, which I hadn't released in case I wanted to edit the content. I lost an entirely seperate fic I was nearing completion on. Yet worst of all I lost a book which I had been working on slowly for the past five years. To say I'm sad/angry is an understatement right now.

Yet I still think the worst thing that happened was all but abandoning the comunity over the past month or so. I mean I just got elected admin maybe two months ago... and these have been my least active two months I've had since joining the wiki. I had obligations and responsibilities I blew off completely. I could've come on at certain points like when I was at my mom's home two weeks ago, but I chose not to because I did something else. I could've at least come on and made a blog explaining my situation quickly at school... but I was afraid someone might hack my account or some dumb crap like that. All in all I SOOOOOO sorry to have been gone this long. I really do promise I'll try and be more active... not that it's difficult being more active from no activity at all. I just feel like such an ass for randomly being gone for a month when I have obligations here. I will try my damndest to make sure it never happens again.

All I can really say... is that it's good to be back home.
