i'm home...

[christi]

hey, guys...

so, yeah. a lot has happened in the past three months. i've learned from experience that the full version of the story requires at least an hour (and a few beers don't hurt, either.) anyway, here's the abridged version for now:

when we last checked in on christi, she was planning to take a bit of an rpgm2 sabbatical, as she and her ever-so-wonderful husband were getting ready to purchase and restore an old log cabin and live happily ever after.

well. that all fell through. the log cabin, the wonderful husband... everything. i moved out at the beginning of june. i've basically had no internet access, and, more importantly to all of my friends here, no playstation. yeah... that sucks. i did manage to shanghai the memory card before i left, so at the very least, i have a hard copy of my game. when i'll be able to get a playstation and actually get back to it, though, is anyone's guess.

i found my rpgm2 strategy guide the other day, though, and started thinking about the game again, which has kind of got me going through a bit of withdrawl. at any rate, i thought i'd at least stop in and say hey, see if anything interesting was going on, you know... that sort of thing. i still have every intention of finishing my game some day... i've put way too much into it to let a little thing like no playstation stop me.

anyway, i'll try to stop back by more often... if nothing else, i'll use this as story development time. hope everything's going well for all of you... thanks for all of the birthday wishes awhile back, too, by the way.

see ya around...

Sorry to hear about that

I'm not good at saying anything in topics like this, so i'll stop here, but I am truly sorry to hear bout your run ins

[Doan the Nado]

I'm really sorry about your troubles, christi, I truly am. I hope that whatever happened with your husband wasn't too bad (as in violent). My girlfriend's sister had all kinds of trouble with her fiance and it is now a real mess, so I wish better for you.

I've been wondering what happened to you, and I'm glad to hear that you haven't abandoned us (as I unfortunately was forced to do for a few months). Good luck with getting back into your game, and it's good to have you back.

sorry to hear...

sometimes life sucks...everybody's had points where they've been totally screwed over, it's part of life. hopefully it won't last very long, we're all wishing the best

I'm sorry to hear when things like this happen to anybody and wish you the best of luck starting life over.

I have had to do that three times and, fortunately, in the end I was better off each time. It will take time, and will not be pleasant, but hopefully you'll be better off for all this as well.

Peace.

[christi]

hey, thanks for all of the notes. fortunately, nothing too serious happened... other than roughly five major red flags that came up within the span of, oh, about a month that made me realize i had absolutely no desire to be where i was anymore, so i got out before it was too late.

and, in all honesty, i'm happier than i've been in years. (aside from video game withdrawls, but, you know... ) i've been a bit of a nomad, lived in about five different places in the past three months. i still don't know how i did it, but i somehow managed to get a pretty smokin' deal on an old house out in the country, and i should be able to move in within the next couple of weeks.

so, everything's good, really... getting there, anyway.

[Rodak]

There is absloutely nothing like an old house in the country!!

Glad to hear that things are not so bad as they could have been.

Peace.

christi, im sorry to hear all this but glad your pulling through. if you ever need someone to talk too, or need anything, just send a shout.

[Neo Samurai]

Hey, christi. I'm sorry to hear about all your run-ins, but I'm glad to hear you're doing well.

If I had seen this topic earlier, I probably would have given some long, life-changing speech lol

Anyway, I heard a nice little quote once, "Everything ends all right in the end." I don't know if a lot of people would agree with this, but I think with every wrong turn, there's a right. In fact, I've been having a lot of experiences like this lately, and it feels very good.

So, I hope things can keep getting better for you.

[BloodKnight]

Glad to hear you pulled through your troubles christi. There's always light where there is darkness, and everyone going through hard times should remember that. Good luck with your ventures.
