/joins the slowatus+hiatus train!

[peterparker]

Hey All!

It's that time of year, isn't it? With essays coming up for Term 1 of grad school, a business report due, work in full force with the winter fashion lines coming out and the general inconvenience of being in a different timezone than most of you, I have to call a semi-hiatus!

What this means is that any thread I promised to put up, I will still put up and any threads I am already in I will keep replying to (though slowly.)

Grad school essays extend all the way through our winter holiday (brutal, right?) where I'll also be taking a trip through Germany, so uh... I have no idea when the slowatus/hiatus will end! Possibly January 7th, when the new term begins?

I apologize in advance for how slow I've been in general lately. Sorry to anyone who has had to put up with it!

This effects Peter Parker and Takeshi Yamamoto, who will pretty much be taking strikes this month (sorry, awesome mods.)

However! As soon as I'm back I want to be active with everyone ever. /o/ So feel free to plot with me during December.

I can be reached on GTalk (maddie.salters@gmail.com), Skype Chat (maddiejs), Facebook (ask& receive), or through PM here on DW. (I'm not on Plurk or AIM... sorry to be so sacrilegious!)





Good luck to all the students here and happy hols. ♥

As long as you post your hiatus on the hiatus post, you'll be exempt from this month's AC.

Hope you have a good trip!

[peterparker]

I thought about doing that, but I don't want to cop out! I did promise to put up a couple of new posts, but I know it won't be enough to pass the AC. Still, if I can find time to reply to those, I can't outright say I'm on a full hiatus, right?

I just don't want to seem like I'm playing a hiatus card when I have some activity, even if it's super, super minimal. Would it be okay to comment on the hiatus post even though I will have a tiny bit of activity this month?

Thanks so much for dealing with my questions and for well wishes on the trip! :) Enjoy your holiday season, have lots of warm drinks & don't work/study too hard! (Especially since it was just recently a happy birthday for one of the mods?! :D)

[somarium_lords]

Yes, it's fine. You could go on hiatus but still show us your activity if you want to.

Haha, thank you! Two of us actually. Lae and my birthdays are only 5 days apart.

[peterparker]

Ok! Cool. I'll do that then, thanks a lot! :D

&What! That's crazy nuts. Happy Birthday to both of you! Lae belatedly, but Mart right now! (Is it literally right now?! This is 5 days later in the US, right? Or am I off? EITHER WAY, I HOPE YOU TWO PARTIED/ARE PARTYING HARD!!)

[somarium_lords]

Belated too actually. XD I should've said Lae's birthday was five days prior to mine. You're right about it being 5 days later in the US though! (I'm not from there btw, lmao) Thanks again!

[peterparker]

Man, there was all kinds of fail up there then...

Happy Belated to you both, then! (Did you have a good one? :D) And HI5 on us both living in a hipster timezone. :3

[fopsecutor]

No fail, don't worry!

Yes, I did! It was a busy birthday, busy but fun. XD /highfives!

[peterparker]

Hope it was busy with CAKE, gurl. :D ♥ Glad it was great, though!

[staywiththegroup]

Told you about not going to grad school bro.

Keywords.

[peterparker]

But I wanted to be a Master of Science. Sounds so cool.

I think being a student rep and an entrepreneur challenge participant and deciding to work part time while being head photographer of the school newspaper was pushing it a little though. I have like... 22 meetings this week and all I want to do is drink cocoa and watch home alone.

Not cool enough for lonely island Peter

[staywiththegroup]

You mean nerdy.

that's what you get for being an overachiever ha

He is a lonely island.

[peterparker]

NERDY IS COOL THESE DAYS, BE HIP TO MY GROOVE.

We left out being a British Youth Parliamentarian.

Overachieving is awesome... when it isn't the end of the term.

GOTTA STAY TOP OF MY CLASS. OHOHOH. WHAT NOW. BAM.

He wouldn't be if he stayed with his hot, rich girlfriend

[staywiththegroup]

That was so white and nerdy I can't even.

GTFO PETER. YOU RENT TOP Of THE CLASS

she broke up with him! because he's a handsome, intelligent, well-dressed, athletic, friendly LOSER.

[peterparker]

Matches me perfectly, then.

Peter is and so am I. DOUBLE BURN.

GTFO

[motherwarnedme]

You are pretty nerdy.

GWEN SAYS OTHERWISE BRO. Also she's talking about Peter to Finnick. Worst boyfriend ever.

+1 to me!

[peterparker]

I am pretty, thank you. ;) Ohohoh~

More like lying to Finnick? He didn't break up with her, she broke up with him! Get out!

-9000 from gryffindor

[motherwarnedme]

SOMEONE MADE A PROMISE TO SOMEONE'S DYING FATHER WITHOUT HER CONSENT. Worst boyfriend ever.

Ok, Hufflepuff, OK.

[peterparker]

Someone broke up with someone before knowing that.

Someone also ignores the fact that a DYING REQUEST doesn't offer a whole lot of time for democratic consensus.

Scariest girlfriend ever.

[motherwarnedme]

Gwen would like to point out that if Peter wants this relationship to work, he needs to consult her on things. Stop pretending to be a man and decide for her. If he was top of his class, he'd know that.

Gwen says they will get back together. She doesn't take no for an answer.

[peterparker]

Peter needs an adult.

[motherwarnedme]

Selina will supervise.

[peterparker]

Sob.

[motherwarnedme]

Finnick said Peter is being selfish so it must be true.

[peterparker]

As Finnick doesn't know Peter, Gwen lied to him and few men who don't go stalk the hot girlfriend who just dumped them can be described as selfish, he'll take that truth with a grain of salt. 8'D

[motherwarnedme]

Let's remember this when he gets Gwen killed.

[peterparker]

MJ is less scary.
