Sorry guys, I'm disappearing offline for a little while, might be a few days, might be longer. I just need some time to clear my head and get my mind off things.
(Long story short, my application for my internship at WDW was rejected. Story of my [censored]ing life. I'd be lying if I said it didn't hit me hard, since it was one of the few avenues to potentially get me a foot in the door in the USA, due to the majority of visas needing a sponsor. I can't help but feel I'm going to be stuck here in this damn backwater country for the rest of my life.

I know the feeling... Life hit me hard this month with something I wasn't expecting. But the encounter led me to a book that helped to overcome my perception of myself and the world.

If you have time on your hand, it might be worth the read. Just remember, nothing in life stays the same.

Sorry sugar. Maybe you can look into permanent immigrant status for the states? That's what I ended up doing when I came down here. You just have to have someone here in the states to house you, and go through all the proper paperwork.
At the moment the most concrete method for me to get over to the states long term would be to travel on a fiancee visa and marry within the required 90 days, but we want to keep that as an absolute last resort since we don't want to rush into marriage.
Which visa did you end up applying for though, just out of curiosity?

None. I came here as a visitor, got married, applied for permanent immigrant status before the time limit ended. Our immigration consultant helped us through it.
Look for Robin in the lusternia facebook group though! She went from Aussie to the states.
I place @Celina in charge of the Tough Love Committee for now.
In an itty-bitty Ruler of Night?
*ahem*

Yessss, the SDs belong to me now.

I will be on vacation in NYC starting tomorrow through next Monday, so I'll be exceedingly sparse if not entirely absent for the next 5 days.
What. You are 228 kills away from 2k kills, @Celina. You cannot be away yet!
Enjoy your vacation.

Going to be gone this weekend. Going to visit my wife's great aunt, who is now a tough ol' one eyed bird in what's likely the final stages of...something cancer. She's been a huge part of my wife's life, and the few times I've gotten to meet her she's a pretty neat lady. Not going to be a happy trip, but c'est la vie.
Hi. Over the next few days, I'll be busy processing my transfer to another college. I won't be around as much during the hours close to the weave change, but I should be around my "normal" hours.

For those two who've missed me the past week or so, I've been absent due to my mother getting pneumonia and being put into a hospital. She's recovering and things are calmer now. I'm still taking care of her, and expect her to make a full recovery soon, which means that I'll be more present again. Sorry 'bout that.
Everyone is a genius. But if you judge a fish on its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.
I'm going to be scarce for a while. I'm fostering a dog, who is taking a lot of my energy, and have probably developed a sinus infection pursuant to allergy irritation.
Stress vacation. Don't message me about anything urgent, I'm not dealing with it. Not sure when it's ending - those of you who need to know when I come back will know when it happens.
I'll be back soon for longer periods of time. I was applying for Riot Games in Australia and made it three interviews before I was rejected, and it hurt. Have the drive to apply to California again, but it makes me miss roleplaying and the people of Glomdoring for some reason (probably because they're awesome.)
Just need to work out some bugs in the HTML5 client that I contacted IRE about.
This is less 'I'm going to be scarce' and more 'I'm going to continue to be scarce'. I'm trying to convince the place I'm working for to bring me on full time and the process of doing so is both time consuming and exhausting. I do check my prayers and messages, but my physical presence will remain limited for the time being.

Everiine said: The reason population is low isn't because there are too many orgs. It's because so many facets of the game are outright broken and protected by those who benefit from it being that way. An overabundance of gimmicks (including game-breaking ones), artifacts that destroy any concept of balance, blatant pay-to-win features, and an obsession with convenience that makes few things actually worthwhile all contribute to the game's sad decline.

Hey, good luck with that.
I know gods must feel the pressure to interact and certainly there's some who will soak up every moment you can give and ask for more. I don't think I'm too different here and maybe players can weigh in on this. But, I think most players would be happy if they could log in and see that the god said, "Hi" on the Order channel in the last maybe two weeks. I know I check the Order channels religiously (I know how much you love puns!)!!! I'm probably being a bit selfish here, but sometimes it is just nice to be able to say something like, "Yes, the Lord was around last year."
Don't get me wrong, I mean when a god isn't supper busy or stressed and I certainly don't mean when you're prepping for a job or promotion and this isn't you, just something I've thought about back even when I played Achaea.
Hi. I will be hiding in my bomb shelter for fear of Manteekan breaking free of his prison and destroying Glomdoring will be sparse for the next 5-7 days to deal with family stuff. I'll be logging in to distribute credits for the credit sale and what-not. If you need me for anything just message me in-game.

Aaaaand now I'm helping out four friends with their weddings. Enjoyable business but time-consuming. The ascension ritual should be ready this weekend. I will still help finish the final rite. I officially leave @Celina in charge of making sure the Shadowdancers stay Shadowdancery. Political brouhahas, I will deal with whenever I log in. Credits will still be handed out. Mini rp-sessions will be had whenever I can.
