This has been an extremely difficult blog to write as I stopped about 20 times due to how emotional I got, both at the situation and the level of vulnerability I'm subjecting myself to. I know I've spent a lot of time apologizing and using the usual "life got away from me" line but there's so much more to it.
There is only person out there in pop land that I didn't already know in real life that knows this thing about me, and I never had plans to share it, ever - but I am a foster parent. Usually it's a short term situation and nothing super dramatic - a kid who has had a harder life then they deserve and I take care of them for a few weeks before they end up with some relative and they're like Bye! Well, I've had this little guy with me for much longer than the usual foster placement now, and we're going through two separate ongoing custody cases between his parents and another relative. And they have both taken a turn. Fault lies on all sides but also a little bit on the courts, and unfortunately it leaves him caught in the middle That being said, there have been an ever increasing number of court dates, of visits (both from the social worker to my house and supervised ones with him and the parents and the other relative), and honestly just a lot of prep with him, not to mention of course the time and extra love and support I need to dedicate to him because he truly needs it. So that is where a lot of my attention has been, and where it will continue to be. So I'll still be logging in because there's definitely something to be said about escapism, but honestly my heart isn't in it, so the idea of RP is just... no. I don't want to waste your time. If you're okay with slice of life style messages here and there, maybe like two friends texting and catching up, that's probably all I'm good for right now. Because I won't be there.
So as of right now, I'm out of town until July 10, though I expect there's some time on the 5th and 6th that I'll be around (my host will be working so I'll have some time to kill). But then - fast forward to July 20 - August 2, and I'm super out of town. Not even in this country. If there are chances for me to be online, cool, but honestly, don't have any expectations. So I decided to move.
It wasn't so much a decision as a necessity. But the timing was a decision. The wrong one. If you live in the US and have a taxable income, you know that there's a pretty major event that you have to do by April 15. I am someone who does that thing on or by January 31, and I feel like most people I know try to do the same, or at least before February is over. What you may not know is we are in the minority. EVERYONE AND THEIR MOTHER, their uncle, their pastor, their barber, and their third cousin once removed waits until the last minute. And I, as a "financial expert" who assists them or does it for them, end up working extended hours, often from 7:30 am to 9:30 and sometimes 10:00 pm. For the entire month of April. And into May. And then you know what this genius was also doing, while doing that? MOVING. Across town. Not a small town. I don't know if you've ever tried to pack and then unpack while only having 9 hours a day to yourself, and that 9 hours had to include sleeping. But iiiit fucking sucks. 0/10 stars. Do not recommend.
I know, it blows your mind, right?
Still here, but I'm down to two characters actually named McLoughlin. I actually have more Moorehouses now. I also really only have 2 truly active characters, plus one more that I still click with regularly. So down the road I think this page will go bye-bye and I'll just focus on their individual pages. But we'll see. I had fun here, and I'd hate to delete it. |

A page about a chaotic family in Popmundo World PLAYER Adult who hates math but someone ended up as an accountant. Life, amirite? RP with Me
1. REAL LIFE ALWAYS, ALWAYS COMES FIRST. 2. RP in 3rd person please. Narrative preferred. Adult RP does not scare me. It just shouldn’t be the basis of our RP. 3. I come here to get away from jerks. If you are going to be one, keep it moving. 4. If hell is about to come to my characters, a little warning would be really nice. 5. You're most likely to find me online between 9am and 4pm EST US Time Monday through Friday |
