Welcome to Gaia! :: View User's Journal | Gaia Journals

Alright, so I know I'm not the only person who gets this from those who I meet in an online setting. Keep in mind when I'm on constantly I'm either sick or have nothing better to do with my life, so virtual worlds keep me somewhat busy and my mind thinking.

Here's the main issue, the question that everyone asks me when they don't see me on as often as they did when they first met me that one day wherever it may have been. "Where have you been? you're never online? you're ignoring me!" No, and No. I'm not ignoring anyone, suprisingly when I'm not on that magically means I somewhat have a life at the specific time in which your trying to see or contact me. It is not a bad thing to have a life away from the computer screen. Most of my online friends understand this but then I also get a handful that don't. I do get busy and I'm sorry if I'm away for a long time. It isn't intentional at all but sometimes my life is busy, I'm a college student and work full time in a movie theater. Working at a movie theater has long hours and doubles in which you have to work and have very little choice in the matter of working it. Especially if you're actually scheduled a doubled without accepting it. Another thing I'm up for a promotion in my job which means being online is hard to do a lot of the time especially when I'm at my job a lot of the time. Don't take it personally this happens, people move up in ranks in their job. I also go to school full time getting my A.A. and will take a break in the fall and then go for my bachelors. This also means that I'm doing homework, studying for finals and exams, and have extra curriculars as club president of various different clubs around my campus. This takes me away from my social and online life as well. So like I said if I'm not around it's not personal, I'm not ignoring anyone. If you feel ignored I'm sorry it isn't personal, its mainly because im busy with my life which requires a lot of my attention a lot of the time.

Virtual worlds are a way for me to get away and relax from my busy lifestyle when I'm on I don't look for drama or trouble, I get on to have some time to myself and enjoy myself. I hope those who are reading this understand what I'm trying to say and what I'm going through and why I'm not on all of the time. I try to be on and make time for everyone when I can, I hope to see a lot of you around either in the towns or the various mini games in which we all play through gaia.
