Yoooooooo homedawgs.....
I figure I owe y'all an explanation for me suddenly becoming Casper's best friend. I haven't lost interest or left the site or whatever, far from it... I love it here the same as always but my circumstances changed a month ago.
Some know about it, some don't. I'm not sure how many were informed so I figured a public post would be the best way to reach everyone.
On March 20th, 2009, my friend Anthony and 4 others were driving to one of the girls, Alanna's, 18th birthday party in Valleyview, Alberta. Around 10pm, Anthony was taking off his jacket while driving and lost control of his truck, crossing the centre lane and driving onto the opposite shoulder. He corrected it and swerved back over into his lane, but by then an oncoming semi had moved over into that lane to avoid him. They hit head on, and despite everyone (but the one girl) wearing seatbelts, all were thrown from the truck.
Anthony and 2 others died on the scene, including Alanna. One boy walked away with no injuries, and the girl who wasn't wearing her seatbelt was taken to hospital with serious injuries. She survived.
Anthony was 19 years old. He was the type to always be the life of the party, always the jokester. He had just called us to say he booked his flight tickets for the May long weekend (each year we go out camping and fishing that weekend) and how excited he was. We'll have to go without him this year, but he'll certainly be there in spirit.
I've done some posting since then, but its been hard. I didn't want you guys to think I was growing bored and leaving or something, but I couldn't bring myself to write this before now. I didn't want to post crappy posts, especially with Jasper, because he's canon and I always want to do him justice. Its been a month, and I think I've wallowed in my grief enough, so I'll be doing my best to get back on my game.
This goes for all the sites I'm a part of, some people here are with me on other RPGs so... yeah. It is also why I haven't been in the chat room, I've been antisocial, and I'm sorry. I haven't been treating you guys right, and I feel bad. I hope you all understand and I hope to chat with you all more soon
