I've been coming to this site almost every day for over 2 years now. I know a lot of people here (but I'm still not all that well know, oh well) and I've made a lot of friends here. I've had ways to combat my boredom and entertain myself when there was nothing else around me that could do that. I had a place to rant and rage when I was pissed or sad about something. But... Now I look around myself and see how things are outside of the computer. School starts in less than two weeks, on September 1st. I'll be a Junior. I just turned 16 last month and I still don't have my driver's license, nor have I even driven my car before. I have a huge stack of books and games I bought but never finished. I have handfuls of friends that I haven't been able to keep in contact with. As I mentioned before, school starts on the 1st, and I still have to read two books and do a ton of work for my English cIass. My sleeping schedule is completely messed up. I've been staying up until 5 or 6 AM posting, designing, and reading manga. Then I sleep until around 2 or 3 in the afternoon. Sometimes I don't even sleep. What the hell am I going to do come school when I have to wake up at 6 in the morning? I'll still be awake then! So what I'm trying to say with all of this is that while I love coming here and posting with you guys, the site is sapping away at my life. I blink my eyes and find that I've slept my long awaited summer away, and now I have a big pile of work to do before I go back to school and a screwed up sleeping schedule. So here's the big problem I'm facing... Do I stay or do I go? By "go" I mean use the site a lot less frequently. I'm not talking about leaving all together. But I think that's the only thing I can do at this point; use the site less frequently. The biggest reason I'm so reluctant to do all this is because of my responsibilities. I just recently got leadership back at Legend of Nintendo, and I helped found the Anime/Manga Squad. I'm an officer at the Toonami Union and All-Out Nintendo. I have responsibilities in every one of those unions, and I feel bad to just disappear and reappear at my own leisure. I don't want to inconvenience all of the people that need me around to help out, but I also don't want to spend all of my free time posting on an internet forum. So what do I do now? I need some opinions. And that ends this blog, and now I have to get back to reading so I don't flunk my English cIass before I even start it. ~Sora
