So, as you guys probably have heard I[glow=red,2,300] GRADUATED[/glow] on Sunday. Honestly, I didn't think this event would have any effect on my activeness this week, but alas I thought wrong.
I'm not going to go into all the details, but basically last Christmas my Grandma passed away and my Grandpa has been REALLY bad off since. He came in this week for my graduation, which is amazing for him because he hates to leave "his doctors." He has basically skipped every promised visit to see me my senior year and he is here now. I'm trying to connect with him, and make him feel a little better. Also, since this is the first time he has left Kansas since her death I feel I need to be spending the time he is here actually with him. I hope this is understandable, and I know I'm a bio mod which means I have work to do but my Grandpa really needs this.
And putting my Grandpa aside, I still have all my other family members here. Most are content to let me slip away to the computer, but my Great Aunt isn't. She's, well to put it kindly, very opinionated. When she sees me on a computer it starts one of those 30 minute lectures about in her day people weren't obsessed with technology and more. Today she actually got mad at my brother and me because we liked to watch House. Try listening to one of her rants while you are trying to watch someone stalk Abby on NCIS (WE WEREN'T EVEN WATCHING HOUSE, IT WAS A COMMERCIAL THAT SET HER OFF!)
So, with those two I'm not sure how much I'll be able to be on. Right now I'm slipping on at 1 a.m. because everyone is finally asleep, but I'm going to bed, I just thought I needed to explain my absence while I had the chance to do so.
So, basically, I won't be on very much until Thursday. If I need to reply to something PLEASE POST IT HERE! I'm in way too many threads right now and cannot remember them all. Thank you guys for the graduation wishes (yes, I did get them on FB and here
) and I hope to sneak on and chat when someone is actually here!

but it's great that your grandpa came out for your graduation!!!! I completely understand, I don't mind taking the bios for now so you can sleep & spend more time with your family. And I totally get the whole "computers are bad for you" speech; my parents give it to me all the time. When you have time, please reply to my thread with Ripplepaw
