I'm worried.

Abel's story hasn't been updated, and amber's rant thing indicated a saturday update. did something bad/ unexplained happen? Was the rant just posted today(sun 8/2) , but having missed Saturday is it possible I missed another rant in which case she means this Saturday and not the last Saturday?

[superluser]

Meh.  I'd prefer Amber enjoy her ``day to celebrate workers that's as far from May Day as possible'' in peace.  Sure, I'm anxious to see more of Abel's Story, but nothing can beat the last barbecue of the year.

(not that I'll have a barbecue this year. but still)

I've been checking back pretty much once every two or three hours (NO! LIFE!) and nothing's changed since Friday. My guess is that things just got a little bit more hectic in Amber's life, and she's had to delay it a little bit. I don't think its anything serious, but if it is, I hope everything turns out okay for her; I absolutely hate it when horrible things unexpectedly happen to people I know. It makes me feel like a bad person for having done nothing to stop it.  
In the meantime, I shall picture Dan wearing Destania's outfit and laugh.

My apartment is filled with a freakton of people. It's really hard to sit. and draw. and colour. when there are 5+ people conversing in your house and watching videos on a screen right next to you and wanting your attention.

I apologize for the late.  Now go awaaaaaaaay....

My cat's like that, several people in one, demands attention, noisy, hard to do anything when she demands said attention.

Watch Fargo.  Then watch The Big Lebowski.

I've seen Fargo.  That's where I got the woodchipper idea from.

Sorry, they don't have Labor Day in Canada.
They have Labour Day instead.  It's pretty much the same except gas is $4 a gallon.

Oddly enough, I actually looked that up.  In addition, I never used the term Labo(u)r Day in the original message.

[xHaZxMaTx]

Does that mean they have Arbour Day, in Canada, as well?

Just forget last week's Abel update and move it to this week's update. Then instead of being behind you are already ahead.

That's okay. Fluffy can bring her back as a zombie.

Again.

[Amber Williams]

Anywho, the situation was like this...since I now have time to write.

A couple weeks back, one of my friends who live in London recently got into a tight situation.  Basically his parents decided they were going to do a teaching program in China and so were renting their house out to another family while they were away for who knows how long.  He wasn't going because he had college starting in September...but there was a couple week gap between his family moving out(and the new family moving in) and him going to college.  So I volunteered my air-mattress to let him crash.

So the past week+ has been me A)helping him get his entire house packed before the new family would get there. B)having part of my place filled with various things he was going to take to college C)having to shuffle appointments and people hanging out for the time and D)having to drive multi-hours to get said friend to his new place with a car full of stuff

So its been stressful and mostly very time-consuming...which has really been eating all my freetime.

Hopefully things will get better now though.

If Amber is dead, how could she have posted a reply on another of the forums just twenty minutes ago ago?

I personally think a number of the readers on this forum are like cubi in that they feed on the emotions of the other posters and attempt to stir up as much emotional response as possible.  (That may also explain the extravagant use of emoticons by some posters.  It may be an attempt to feed the need for emotions so that they don't get chomped.)

Be nice to Amber.  Let her rest.  If she doesn't get to rest, she might be unable to do items for a week or more, as has happened in the past.  And then we'll all be "Doom, despair, and agony is me."  (I haven't seen any Hee-Haw jokes, and figured I might as well insert something totally different.)

****
Edit:

While writing this, Amber responed, thus proving that the rumors of her death were greatly exaggerated.

[Goatmon]

You mean all of the internet trolls are actually Cubi that feed off of annoyance and rage?
