Explanation (and an apology)
I went absent without notice, as you've probably inferred for yourselves, smack in the middle or running a PnP and participating in two others.
I've taken a quick look around just now, and it looks like not much has happened since, but the forums have gone even more quiet. I don't know what to think about it.
The reason for my absence, is that it was a stressful exam period at college again. Running and participating in two PnPs would take about 2 hours every day (if I wanted to do it in any satisfying capacity; I know it's not very apparent, but my GM posts usually end up involving some research, comparison with older posts of mine for story details, and some glancing through my own notes, which ends up taking time), and I didn't have that time to give.
The exam period has come and gone some three weeks ago (I did exceptionally well), but I still haven't checked back until just now. I don't know why I haven't (probably avoidant personality), but I wanted to come back. Don't know if I want to play or GM anymore, though (even if I have the time now, I won't have it later, so I'm reluctant).
So I just want to say that I'm sorry about doing this. Truly. I'm not even sure if I know how frustrating it could get to be invested in your character and have someone else degrade your experience by apathy...

Although it may not be shared, I'm not really that peeved that you dropped it. (Used to it? Too easygoing? I don't know.)
It is nice to see you around every now and again though.

Re: Explanation (and an apology)
Belcome wack! For a few seconds, I thought you went to dinner or something. Btw, I know this 99% likely got old a long, long time ago already, but since it's also a genuine question... do you wear leather pants when doing the mechanic stuff? You could be like "I have pants", if you do, and no one could stop you. They'd be like "OH MY SWEET GOD WHAT IS WRONG WITH THAT GUY!?!?!? HE HAS PANTS AND HE'S NOT BLONDE!!!"
...ok, I have absolutely no idea what my point was, but... well, I guess it was that leather pants are pants, and that blondes aren't the only ones who... um, wear pants? I fail at being funny so much... but well, you know.

Re: Explanation (and an apology)
I don't do any "mechanic stuff" yet, I'm studying for a degree in Practical Engineering, and, ironically, it doesn't involve much practical work.
I'll have plenty of that when I'm drafted, though.
Also mechanics wear overalls when they work, you know...
