Imperial Self - Imposed Exile Update
I'm thinking of taking one. Wait, actually, I will be taking one. I need to think outside the Web, stray away from the black hole BZP has become for me, taking my time, my life, and my intelligence from me, and generally making my life ever more stressful and stuff.
One may think, "Gee, this EW kid really is looking for attention," but I assure you; I'm not. This isn't just about BZP, this is about my life. Everything is being rethought. Everything.
Here's my plan: I'll be gone this weekend from noonish tomorrow till late evening Saturday. Boy Scout Klondike Derby is here and this is my last one as a youth. This is it: my legacy with the troop. We get a couple places here and my long-term plans would have been successful. You have no idea how much that'd mean to me.
Anyway, the plan: I'll come back Saturday evening, get some shuteye, and on Sunday I'll prepare my absence, handing off my RPG characters to people, handing torches, informing people. And on Monday, poof! No EW. I'm shooting for the end of the month as the end of my break, but depending on how good I feel, that may be longer.
Notes: I will stay on my IM programs to stay in touch with my friends, but I'm not gonna be on as much anymore. Also, I will be checking back to do my RPG Judge duties; I'm not going to shirk my responsibilities. The Star Wars RPG will be left in the capable hands of CJ ,who will have all the authority I normally wield. And most of all, I love you all, and I mean that. This is not at all because of any of you, it's cuz of me.
*hugs*
Update: Handing off my torches tonight and stuff. See blog entry below for details on who gets what out of my empire.
Also, Klondike was a blast. I had friends I hadn't seen in months or years coming up and saying hi, and it was overall just a really enjoyable experience. Our patrols (we fielded three) didn't get any overall positions in the Derby, but our best patrol unofficially got 9th place, so it's not like we sucked. We did awesome, regardless of what some kids claim.
As for my "exile," as I fancy it, it is going to happen. Still not sure when it will be over, but I'm probably going to set up some goals for me to accomplish, only returning when they are completed, so that I don't claim maturity and get trapped in BZP again. This is going to mean and do something.
I'll post a final entry in typical EW style when I officially leave, so stay tuned if any of you care. =P
