Oddworld I'm Back...(Yes its true)Hopefully for a long time once more...

Yes so it is true...I have returned from the fires of mount doom and the land of shadow...and hell itself. That may be dramatic comparison to make but the emotion and the experience I've gone through makes it definately feel like it is equal in scope for me.

Perhaps soon enough maybe even tomorrow I will explain some of this situation maybe not in a great amount of detail for my own privacy and personal affairs. But school was definately not the only reason I have been gone these past four months off and on, and been away now for over two months. I sincerely apologize that I have not been here to stay in tune with the forum and events and new members and veterans, and old buddies and friends alike. I did miss you guys and Im sorry that I couldnt come more often, I went through a few different changes in my emotional state of mind, my personality also. I explained some of this to a few people on oddchat today. I will decide what I will write to you here and how I will express this, it may not be a big deal to some and maybe it seems a bit too dramatic, but no one will truly know unless they too have experienced something like it. Otherwise, no one will know how it felt for me and to be experiencing it etc. Anyways, I will say no more for now because I dont want to get anybody's imagination excited completely as to what it was, or paint a picture that is something different from what I will share soon enough.

I am definately in the process of finding myself once more also and it will take me a little bit to get reaquainted with everything and get used to being here and posting replying and doing everything else. Its good to be back dont be surprised if I start writing more poetry and also some stories just to continue expressing how I feel and how I felt also. Farewell for now....but this time I will be staying...

Sincerely, Alexander "Al"

A break from the norm is always good... a time to reassess, recoup and realine! Very necessary in my opinion!

Glad to see you're back refreshed and revived (You don't know me but I have checked out a few older threads with your stuff... tres cool!)

Do stick around.

Cheers to you and thanks for understanding, its nice to find comfort once more in a place that I have been a part of for a long time now.

Hey Al.
I didn't see you for a very long time. I thought you left us. I'm happy that you came back and I still wish you a nice time.
You're so polite to tell us that you came back, I just started posting again. *shame*

Welcome Back to OWF, AI.
Seems like you've done a bit of soul-searching and have come to a few conclusions, right? (Or am I assuming too much again?)
Perhaps I should do that more often. . . However, if anything's bothering me emotionally or I have problems, I just ramble/talk about those problems to anyone who is willing to listen to me, as many of my friends know. Helps to get stuff out me system. . . Bottling stuff up is never a good thing. . .
Anyhow, I need to go now, college lessons have started again. . . Glad you came back, and hope you enjoy your return.

Welcome back Al. I also joined around the time when you were leaving, but I have read alot of your posts (in particular the ROTK thread) and I can tell you are a cool guy.

Everyone needs a little "me" time to keep them grounded.

But I hope to chat with you here!

Jenny
