A brief hiatus

[Jia Hawthorne]

I need to take a brief hiatus.

My younger teenaged cousin is in the hospital from an apparent drug overdose. At this point, he has very little brain activity and it does not look like he is going to make it.

I'm sorry. I hate to slow things down or leaving things finished, but for the next couple of days... yeah, this is going to be hard.

Feel free to skip me for a few rounds. Posting this message in all current threads.

That's completely alright Jia - no-one's going to take offense at you taking time out for something like that.

Hope everything's okay, see you when you come back.

Hey guys.

My cousin Patrick passed away last Sunday, at the far too young age of 19. Let this be a lesson to everyone and all whom you know: drugs are dumb! Things have been up and down, but it looks like the worst of the swells are starting to even out.

I definitely wanna get the threads going again. It may take me a day or two to get back into the swing of things and churn out a decent post, but just know that I'm back in the neighborhood, cleaning up the weeds and chasing the kids off my lawn. Besides, I think I could do with a really good dose of escapism right now
