I feel like I should explain my absence...

As some of you may have noticed, I disappeared for a while. I would explain in my classic rainbow text, but the code takes up so much space, that the post won't send.
I don't remember EXACTLY when I completely disappeared off the face of the Earth, but I believe that it was around June.
I HAVE been checking on the forums, but I haven't logged on in a long time. I didn't even remember my password, but Chrome had it saved.
So this is what has happened the last couple of months.
I'll keep it short.
So, on June 19th, I left on a trip to Spain to live with a Spanish speaking host family for 2 and a half weeks. Probably one of the scariest things I've done. But, my sister had turned 18 a couple months before, and she was planning on moving out before I got home from Spain. But, I got to Spain and sent my parents an email, and I learned that when my parents got home, my sister was gone with some of her things, and she just left a note. The note was basically "Hey, I'm leaving to go live with a friend. Don't try to find me. I'm mad at you because ___, ___, ___ and ___." and so on. I spent my entire trip in Spain worrying about my sister. After I got home, I got in touch with her over text (I had to leave my phone at home), and learned that she had gone to Yellowstone. She was back in her home state, and had a job. That soothed me a little bit, but I was still worried. Then, there was the stress of sports. I do rowing, and most of my friends left, so it was me and a bunch of tall people competing for the rest of the summer season. I was like a half a foot shorter than the next shortest person.
Anyways, I started getting back into the forums in around August. I started to try and play Minecraft again, but my computer was so full of stuff, I didn't have enough RAM to start it up. The launcher wouldn't even load. So, I was going to ask my dad to help me delete some stuff from my computer, but at the time, my freshmen year of high school started, and DESTINY CAME OUT. So, I got into Destiny and was doing homework, plus rowing started, so I kind of forgot about the forums and Minecraft. Then, around November-ish, I looked at my profile, and realized I had over 60 hours put into that game. I was like, (0.o), I need to play something else. I then thought: "OH! Minecraft!" I loaded up my computer, and it started to blue-screen. I tried again, and it blue-screened again. I was like "uh oh". I called my dad over, and he was searching through files, but couldn't find anything. He had one of his workers check it out, and he found the problem: I somehow managed to make Windows try to download and install Linux, and since those aren't compatible, the computer was freaking out.
So, the only way to fix it was to delete and re-install Windows, which meant losing all my Minecraft worlds and files. I didn't have any choice, so I had my dad re-install Windows. Ever since then, I've been trying to rebuild my worlds, and try to download my texture packs and mods.

And that's what's been happening in my life. I'll try to be back, but I can't promise it anymore; I've promised twice, and both times I've left for months on end a little bit after. I've already been back on the server, and I would hang out and talk, but for some reason I can't use /list to see who's on what server, and /help still doesn't work. So, if I see you on, I'll say hi!

So, I'm back, and I'm feeling it this time. I feel like it'll take a while to find out what I've missed, but I'll do it. Eventually. :D

I need to make my way back to the top of the leaderboards.

And I've got some work to do.

 

omg yay you're back :D

I still haven't forgotten you
