Perhaps the longest introduction post you will ever read...

[Vendetta]

Well, I hope that this will be the last and hopefully final time I have to post here(spam much XD )  If you don't want the long-essay I thought up for you guys, just skip to the last paragraph of my post

If you don't know who I am, or used to be, I was known as NightShade/NightShroud/Traveler 5/ and now known as Blackout.  I've followed this site since, gosh, how long has it been?  a year and a half with MXG and maybe a couple here before I went inactive....  2 years maybe?

Unfortunately, life took a weird twist for me lately.  I moved(again), got a puppy, a long relationship broke up(almost 9 months we dated), quite a few family deaths around the time of our move, and a few other personal things.  But now that things have seemed to calm down a bit, I think I can actually get back on my computer again!  As most of my time has been used up by my pup just to make sure she doesn't go in the house.  Housebreaking took a little longer than we expected, but shes been doing better.

I try to find a good forum like this, but I never succeed in actually finding one that continues to stay active.  Then I remembered all you guys(if you're still here) A-99, Yatter, Love, Bomber, and some others that I can't remember their names
Although I'm not much of a gamer to much anymore(except for the occasional MW2 quick match) I don't play video games as much as I used to.  Hardly any time to play them in the first place.  I find that all the things that I thought were important to me when I was younger, aren't that important to me much anymore.

I've grown up, in terms of saying it.

And as a way of growing up, I find more interests, and found one about a month ago now.  I see that I have a love for making graphics/signatures. I'm always making some new ones.  I also remember some people here that were pretty good at making them as well, so I thought I could get some information from some of you guys as well, since I'm still a beginner.  I'll see if I can get some of my works up later.

So in short terms(or if you really didn't just want to read all that), I'm back.  God how much I missed that whip....

Hey Blackout! Welcome back! It's really great to hear from you again.

Jumped a bit when I saw the old the CS:S signature.

Hey AG, good to hear from you again.  Don't play CS anymore, I think that ate away about 2/3s of my entire summer.  Maybe thats why it went so fast...

Well I never had the pleasure of knowing you but I am glad you've come back. Any "real person" in my opinion is always accepted in my book, and I mean that in a very respectfull way. I must say thats one main reason I myself love doing what I do around here cause MPC is one of those places with special people. So heres from me saying, I'm glad to know people like the people I know here.

Welcome! And welcome back! Always up for another one of those famous warm welcoming toasts!
And yeah, I think that was the longest introduction I've read. Sorry to hear that a score of tragedies have befallen you

(I must learn how to juggle one day)
