    Like I said in your thread, why complain? Rain is good. xD

    For the most part, doing great. Although lately I've felt like some staff have been "ignoring" me. (I put that in quotes because I doubt they really are. It's just the term I use. I also say staff because, ironically, staff peeps are who I contact the most on here -- I know, I'm weird.)

    But hey, they have lives they're busy with and don't always have time to reply and probably end up forgetting about the comment or PC later on, and I need to understand that, which I always try to do, but it's just something I go through sometimes.

    You might remember my Message Interpretations thread in Help with Life, in which I sometimes have difficulty telling the tone of an online message and may therefore take something that was completely innocent as something that's "getting after me." I'll also go through phases, like now, sort of, where I keep feeling like I always get on people's nerves -- staff and non-staff alike. I kind of feel like a bad person for having these thoughts sometimes.

    Anyway, sorry for the mini-essay, but you asked how I was so...

    Hey, yeah, as you can see I'm kinda busy myself haha.

    No one intends to ignore you. But when we're juggling school and the site and everything in between, replying to lots of casual profile messages is pretty low-priority. My advice: Don't take it personally, okay? I forget about profile messages all the time myself, and often I'm logged in to do something site-related (ex. running an event) so replying slips my mind.
    At the very least I believe we all read them even if we don't reply; I know I do. But if you ask how I am every day you're probably going to get a similar response every time xD so sometimes the response doesn't happen. The sentiment is appreciated regardless, though. Just know that not replying every time is bound to happen.

    Thank you.

    Indeed. That's why I put "ignore" in quotes, as it's just the term I like to use mostly because I'm just trying to be silly and lighten things up (like when Misty mentioned her thing of adding "haha" and "lol" at the end of almost every sentence in her reply to my Message Interpretations thread for the same reason).

    Anyway, most of the time, I'm fine. But sometimes it just builds up (like in my last response on Sunday here) and I end up feeling like maybe I'm a burden to the staff. Although I doubt I am because, hey, I'm not a troublemaker, haha! I've gotten some notes regarding some small issues with my post content (like that post you deleted), but no infractions or bans. c:

    I will say that I don't really feel like this toward you when I feel like this because you do end up acknowledging and replying eventually. But don't get me wrong, I understand college and work and higher in your guys' priority schedule and I need to not take it personally. =)
