Best of luck to Uncle Kenny in his new career path. I completely understand wanting to have a job in his home town.

Man I am feeling so very disconnected to the guild lately. I had no clue about the meetups, the events, the anything UNTIL TODAY because I don't really read people's status things on the friends list AT ALL. There WASN'T a single guild announcement (anyone on Crew can make announcements you know) about any of this and because of that I missed out on everything. I'm starting to feel like I'm no longer a part of the crew or the inner circle of the guild anymore, hell I just don't feel a part of the guild anymore. People wonder why guild participation is way down. Well this is a huge reason why. Nobody except a small group of people knows about anything happening in the guild anymore because nobody talks to the entire guild anymore just a very small group.
I feel like any friendships that I had made with people in here are dying because I've only talked to people from the guild ONCE since the end of the Xmas event. I've been having a very physically and emotionally trying past two weeks and maybe knowing before this event even began that it was going to happen would have helped to take my mind off all of this a little and reconnect me to everyone. As it stands right now I feel a million miles apart from the guild now and that any closeness I once had with anyone in the guild is hanging by a very thin thread now. There's just nothing at all really connecting me to the guild anymore and it is killing me on the inside. I feel like a stranger in here right now.

Every notification I've been getting since I made my last post in this thread and my status update leaves me more and more broken hearted because I'm hoping and praying that it's telling me someone quoted me in here to see if anything is wrong. I'm desperately sitting in Towns checking my "smartphone" to see if anyone on my friends list from the guild is even in Towns. I keep looking to see who, if anyone from the guild that's on my list of friends, is online only to be met with disappointment time and time again. It's really painful right now to feel like an outsider right now.

Chibi Halo Every notification I've been getting since I made my last post in this thread and my status update leaves me more and more broken hearted because I'm hoping and praying that it's telling me someone quoted me in here to see if anything is wrong.

Hey Cheebs, it wasn't our intent to exclude you from anything, we've all been a bit busy. I want to assure you you aren't excluded from anything, and we love you. I thought about making an announcement as soon as I knew, but I wasn't sure what to put since I wasn't aware of all of the events that were going to occur. I've never actually made an announcement myself either. Magical Girl month was a bit of spur of the moment thing, and it just kind of happened. Next time if no one else posts the announcement, I'll do it, or find a way to let you and everyone else know. Please, don't think we want to isolate or exclude you, because it is the opposite. We love you. We love your company. Please come join us in Towns? I'm there currently. I would have been there earlier but I had classes.

It really hurt to find out I missed out on being able to take part in everything when I saw that I couldn't enter a single contest at all because it was five days after the cut off date. I didn't even know anyone was meeting up in Towns when you guys decided to do all this. Announcements don't have to fancy or complicated or very long just something, anything mentioning that there's an event with contests and if people want to take part in them before it's too late then get your butt in there. Like I said, I only talked to one person from the guild since the Xmas event and that was to apologize to Alice and to let her know I was not ignoring her last month when she invited me to her stream after I had fallen asleep. Since then nothing at all. I feel this huge disconnect with the guild right now and it's killing me on the inside because it feels like there's nothing to get me to want to even look at the guild on a daily basis anymore. I have to force myself to even look in here now.

Hey, Chibi. I just want to apologize for all of this. For leaving you in the dark, for not even talking to you (or really a lot of people) for some time. It certainly wasn't my intention. But I do take responsibility for it. I should have made an announcement to let people know about the events going on, and even further, I could have just sent you a message or something to that effect to let you know what was going on. I don't know why it never occurred to me to do any of that. I won't make any excuses, I just messed up. Please don't feel like a stranger here. I don't want that, and I'm sure many others here don't want that either. We've all missed your company. Please forgive me for this complete fail on my part.

I just want to apologize myself for my attitude here. I should have been more open with people about what's been going on in my house for the last two weeks. I complained briefly in my status and in another very slow guild about men and telling their spouses when things are wrong only when they've become too wrong and that was the extent of it. At that time my mom had told me the procedure my dad had gone into the hospital for could not be done because his arteries were too blocked and it was too hard to maneuver the stent through his body. The next day he was moved to another hospital to be prepped for another open heart surgery and the day before the in guild event started he had another bypass surgery. One of my sister's had come down the night before to be with my mom because she has hearing issues and it's always best to have a second set of ears there.
For a week I was somewhat okay emotionally because two of my three sisters were down here to help take that emotional burden off our shoulders. I thought I was fine but then when he came home reality and my brother descended upon us and since last Saturday we've had people in and out of the house every single day until today and it felt like too many people. We can't just leave my father alone because unlike most people his age he can't walk well so he can't do most stuff for himself because he needs a walker all the time for recovery and can't lift much of anything right now. On top of that I haven't been sleeping well and I've gone days where my eating is off and I've been slightly dehydrated. At least four times in the last week and a half I've broken down in heavy sobs and have been so physically, emotionally, and mentally out of it that I've been taking things out on everyone but my dad.
It kind of boiled over when I saw that I had missed out on participating in any of the major stuff going on with the in guild event because I only found out about it five days too late. The theme of the event is one I already feel barely connected to because my favorite OC has little to no connection to the Magical Girls and the whole storyline people worked up for them. So I let it get to me far more than it should have and I blew up. Thankfully, I had the good sense of mind to edit one of my posts in this thread to pull out a line I had in there about the lack of crew interaction in the guild because of how it was worded. I really don't want to start any major fights here at all but as I said in another post I'm struggling to find a reason to want to rush into the guild and see what's been posted each time I'm on Gaia. That connection is fading and it scares me because it feels like every friendship I've made in here is dying.
Again, I'm sorry for that first post I made this afternoon. Had I had known about the event when it first started maybe these last couple of weeks wouldn't have been so hard to deal with.

This has been my mom's weekend off, so I've had to spend time with her. Unfortunately, that has meant my evening time for the Towns hangouts has been nixed. I'll be able to rejoin the Towns stuff on Tuesday.
In other news, we've had freezing rain that has the roads and sidewalks covered in a nice thick layer of ice. No surprise, a lot of stuff closed down today, including the college. Apparently a water main broke late last night, so we also have a boil order until the water tests come back clear. So help me, if the power goes out next.....I'mma lose it. All our plans for getting important errands run today are just...Boosh! *sigh* This is NOT how I pictured the weekend.

Sorry for not being in Towns last night. We had to do a lot of cleaning and cook/prep meals for this week (it was also the last day of my oldest sister's visit from Tennessee, so I had to make the most of it). By the time I had the chance to just sit down and relax, I practically had to go to bed.
...now I know how Pookie felt when he said that he was on his feet all day. THAT FRIGGIN HURT. xp
I will most likely have the chance to visit Towns after piano practice tonight.
