At this time I would like to address the reasons behind my prolonged and unexplained absence for the last month or two.

Those of you who have been around for a while will have noticed that I disappeared a sometime in May. This was because of new responsibilities that I had, which took precedence over BZPower (a foreign concept to some of you, I know, but it does happen).

I recently became employed by a mail order company that none of you will have heard of. At first it was only three hours during weekdays. This, coupled with school, didn't give me much time to fulfil my duties here. I assumed that once school was out, I would be able to resume working here as well.

I was mistaken.

After school let out, my work hours increased to the point where I was working a full time job. This was due to Fathers' Day, which created a large rush of orders.

This, coupled with the fact that I now have more than three friends that I enjoy seeing outside of school, and several new hobbies (bass guitar, Photoshop, anime...) ruled out any time I had.

Now, though, Fathers' Day has passed, and I have been able to get my life under control. I should be able to be more active here.

Thank you for your time.
