At the end ot "Terminator II" Arnold, as a very battered android, says, "I need a vacation".
So do I. So I'm going to take one. I'm going to leave the forums, and the in world Cartel group for a period of time. I'm going to remove my visibility to most of my Cartel friends.
Why? There are several reasons. I don't want this to become one of those angsty posts, but I'll mention three of them.
First, by nature I'm an introvert. We introverts tend to expend energy when we deal with people, especially in groups (extroverts, on the other hand, GAIN energy in this way). My reserves are running low, and I need to have some alone time to recharge.
Second, I hate Drama. In recent weeks, I've been involved in three fairly major episodes, and they, more than anything else, have sort of beaten me down.
Third, I'm spending way too much time here, and socializing with my Cartel friends in world. I need to get away from that...get some long-delayed SL and RL projects done.
Just because I'm going away for a while doesn't mean I don't love you all...you are my Second Life family. Yes, even the ones on my Ignore list. But even families need breaks from each other sometimes.
Again in the words of Mr. Schwarzenegger: "I'll be back."

Lindal, we have never spoke but there is certain names in the world of the forum you grow accustom too, when they are gone they leave missing place to some of us, like a missing attachment. Your absence will leaving leave a hole for some of us but we understand you need to move on and take care of yourself. Be well, where ever your path leads you.

All you people taking breaks are actually in the Bahamas together, admit it!

Note to self: always say you'll be back, so people will have no reason to point out "you'll be back, they all come back" or to ask if they can have your stuff.  Enjoy your vacation Lindal

From one introvert to another: it sounds like you know exactly what's best for you right now. Take care, Lindal.

* Sandbox Cordova, later that evening...* Esmonday Angshay: "Ah, no, really - I ah, learned to make sculpties on orientation island just two hours ago. Yep, that's right. What do I use? Erm, MS Paint! Yes that's the one. Paint. Microsoft Paint. No specialised tools, Nooooooo. Ridiculously inconvenient, isn't it? To use. For sculpties. Yes, right. Can't beat Torley's tutorials, can you? Saves a year of learning, if I do say so myself!" ... Indalay Idkay: "Why am I here? ... I'm here for the, ah, bling! That's it. The Bling. See? Sparkly! Ooooh... how... fun." ... Esmonday Angshay: "Yes, I TOO could watch the standard library dance moves all day, they are all so NEW and ah, Funny aren't they? Gestures, yes... shall we do each default one in turn, and laugh? That's a good noob... time, isn't it?" ... Indalay Idkay: "Yes, we could go to a club, but my... erm, my Avatar is broken, that's it - it force-teleports away from large annoying crowds. Really! Can't help myself! I called support, they thought it was kinda different too..." ... Esmonday Angshay: "Land - no, no land here... *nervous twitch* - wouldn't it be exciting though? Imagine what you could do with half a mill, I mean, ah, half a dozen prims! The possibilities are endless." ... Indalay Idkay: "No, I've never met that lying jerk, I mean, that Anonymous Stranger ever before! I've got no idea who that is. Truly. I just, well, let's not say hi to them. It's... the shirt! That's it. That shirt he's got on puts me into an epileptic episode. Can't look at him. Nosiree bob, no can do. Let's go the other way, my noob friend." ... Esmonday Angshay: "Now that's odd. I think the interface is broken - I just can't seem to exile that griefer with a casual flick of my hand, or darken the continent's sky momentarily to express my displeasure. Oh! Wait. My mistake! I mean, That bad Griefer has Hurt my Feelings! And I'm... intimidated! Yes, that's it! Intimidated. Right."
