Official Status: On Hiatus/Semi-Retired.

[Kylerryth]

Heyo, folks. This may or may not come as a shock to you, but I wanted to make it officially known to everyone who might be interested.

The short version is ... I have a lot going on in my personal life; I'm working a lot more than I used to; and I just haven't found the time, inspiration, or motivation to sit down and write, much less roleplay. I still love the BD and its myriad stories and characters, and I still cherish you guys as great friends and great people -- but, right now, I need to focus on me and what's happening in my life, and that unfortunately excludes any involvement in BD-related stuff.

(Which, truth be told, isn't a huge blow to anyone's story, since I'm not really involved in much anyway. Aherm.)

One thing I do want to make everyone aware of, however, is that I will be having surgery to correct an inguinal hernia on June 23rd, and I will likely not be around or available for a few days or so after the procedure. So your thoughts, prayers, etc. will be greatly appreciated, and I might even throw in a cupcake.

That being said ... you're all awesome, and I hope you keep up the absolutely amazing work you do here. This is without a doubt the best roleplaying community I've been a part of.

All the best, man. Take care of yourself.

[channe]

awwww.

we're gonna miss you.

[ShadowRose]

I'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers! <3 you!

[Wendy]

take care, james. prayers, you got 'em.

[Kylerryth]

Thanks for the support and well wishes, folks. It really does mean a lot to me.

But, to eliminate any possible confusion: no, I am not leaving the channel or community; I am simply letting everyone know I am more or less no longer an active part of it until further notice.

Hope that clarifies it for y'all.

Thanks again, everyone.

[Raveness]

Sending prayers your way. Take good care.

Heyo, folkses. The surgery went smoothly, and the doctor was very happy with how everything turned out -- ergo, I am happy. I've spent the past couple days resting; today is the first day I've actually been able to move around without experiencing constant pain. One day at a time, though, and I'm sure I won't feel 100% for a while yet. So, again, thanks for your thoughts.

Unless your doctor absolutely forbids it.
