Hello everyone,

 

I just wanted to first say that I'm deeply sorry for being on such an extended LOA. It was sudden, it was extended, and I'm sorry. I've missed you all very much. I have had a drastically increased workload, DM still won't load on my phone, and my band has been playing a lot more live shows lately.

 

Then, I picked up AMoL 3 days ago... and I finished it last night. I must say, I'm stunned. I'm not going to post any spoilers here, and if you comment with spoilers, please tag them as such. What I"m stunned at is that I know now... 17 years ago, in the 6th grade, I read The Great Hunt. (My friend didn't have EoTW, but wanted me to read it bad enough that I started there) Ever since, i've been hooked. Re-reading the series every time a new book came out, and sometimes doing so if one wasn't coming out. I have grown up knowing and loving these characters, and continuing on this journey.

 

Now, I'm kind of numb. I loved AMoL, and will discuss that gladly, but it's shocking to think that the story, the world, the people and the intrigue Jordan crafted have played their part. I know the ending. I'm glad, but saddened as well.

 

Anyway, I'm back, and will check in as often as I can. After speaking with Tina, I plan to stay on as Storm Leader of the Light, and will do my part to carry that title well.

After reading the AMoL post, please no discussion here. but I'll jump into the other designated discussion

Welcome back Random. It's good to have you back

*mea culpa

 

By the way, I don't read Walls of Text. Or do you insist on it?

Sorry, mea culpa then :)

Welcome back...I'm just back too...though no idea what mea culpa means...

Hai Random :)

Paragraphs dude, paragraphs. :)

Mea culpa is Latin for "my mistake" :)

thank you random..I will have to remember that one!

My pleasure. I learned the term from the special features on Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, where Kevin smith says it to Adam corolla for being left out of the movie despite shooting a scene for it

I see a lot of talk and less work here!   

Talking about work...does that count?

Well, I talk about work and others do the work for me. 

Ahhh....priviledges of having rank! haha
