Yes. I'm alive. The better question is, why did I go away for so long? Well, i'm sure CK knows this, but when you work at CP for 3 months, you have basically removed yourself from civilization. CP is your life and I loved it, and can't wait to go back next year. Next year I should be able to stay around here, but at least now, I'm definitely back.
I'll be lurking mostly, since as a CP employee you have to watch what you say, especially online. So that means general behind the scenes mod stuff is what's in store for me, which is all good to me.
The point is I am alive and happy to be back.
