Well, this is a leave message I had hoped I would never have to write, but things in RL have caught up with me. Not sure about who knows, but for those of you who do not know, I am in the Boy Scouts. In the BSA, the highest rank you can earn is the rank of Eagle Scout, which I am close to getting, but also losing. As it turns out, when you turn 18, you are no longer allowed to advance in rank within the BSA. My 18th birthday is this year, in December.

Sadly, I slacked a few years ago, and put myself into this stressful position. So, to earn my Eagle rank, I must move away from the VE for awhile, as I am spending too much time here, and not enough time with my Eagle business.

I plan on returning, and will stop in every now and again to say hi. I will either return in December or January, but that is only the worst case scenario. My plans are to return in about 2 moths, which is plenty of time to finish my badges, and do my project. But for now I must go. I apologize to everyone, especially Kami and Aeos for leaving during a time when I am needed most.

Wish me luck, and wait for my return. For now I say good bye.

P.S.: I will be dropping in on IRC a bit to stay in touc, but it is my activity on the comnet that will drop drastically. I will also keep you all updated on how things are going with me scout things.

good luck Verk, your presence will be missed.

Verk, take your time ma dude.

Well, I guess this delays the wedding...

Haha, in all seriousness, take it easy buddy, and good luck. Return home soon, eh?

Glad to hear your project was accepted.

Good luck!

Well done!

Well, theres good news, and theres bad news. Two of a kind never found apart =P

First the bad news. I prefer bad news first because the good news afterwards always makes me feel better. My eagle project is not yet done, and because of money issues, the power might be getting turned off soon, and the shadow of foreclosure lingers closely.

Now for the good news. My eagle stuff is almost done. My last four badges are nearing completion, and my project is coming along nicely. My grandma lives around the block, and I have my library card, so finding a way to get online should not be a problem.

<.<    >.> 

Oh well this is odd, even more good news, how strange =]

As it would seem, and fate might have it, I have been managing my time well, and have been finding that my mom is not minding me spending so much time on the pc again. I also have been finding myself with a bit more extra time, and wondering what to do with that time while I stare blankly at myspace and facebook for several hours on end.

All I can say is...


Can, if there is room, someone place me back in Jester?

/me smriks and nods at Ae

It's good to be back.

great job, Verk, glad to see you done so well, hope you'll get that highest rank soon, and wish your project a success, it is great to have you back.
