General Chat / And interesting thing....

Greetings,

I have come back to NE...with an explanation of my erratic behaviour this past year.

A while ago, I was diagnosed with MS. It runs in my family. I felt rather blindsided. Over the past year, I have been on "pins and needles" waiting to be struck ill. It hasn't been pleasant. As such, I have not been a pleasant person. Moody at best, and a downright whining bitch at worst.

The long and short of it though, my actions (not just on this site...in life as well) reflected my own fear of confronting something I did not understand. For my schizophrenic behaviour, and to anyone I offended, I apologise. It was my own internal garbage manifesting itself in very unflattering ways.

Last week, I had a physical. The bloodwork revealed that there was in fact no trace of MS...could've been in remission, could've been a complete misdiagnosis (apparently that happens more frequently than most people realise). After more tests earlier this week, it has been revealed, that what I have is in fact, a Gluten intolerance. Nothing more. So, a change of diet, (which is a little harsh, as gluten is in pretty much EVERYTHING) and all is right with the world.

Why am I telling you this?

My "last departure" was anything but dignified. For that I am truly sorry. I am not here to try to excuse my actions, merely to explain them.

You may do with this what you wish. I have a very profound new appreciation for life. I don't think I'll take it for granted anytime soon. I hope not, at least.

So....I have returned to NE...to make parks. RCT3 looks amazing. The stuff that people have shown so far is unreal. I look forward to getting my feet wet on this new platform.

For now..I'm back to work, and more important back to living, not merely angrily existing, waiting to trounce on people I don't agree with just to vent my own fraidy cat bullshit.

Be well.

Hey Meretrix! IMO no need to appologise..... It's good to have you back and that's all that matters! I'm glad to hear everything turned out for the better!

Good to have you back man. I was wondering why you haven't been around lately. I missed ya . And I'm definately glad to hear that you're feeling better. And believe me, you aren't the only one with "internal garbage" so to speak. We all do really, some just hide it better than others. So yeah, welcome back. I look forward to seeing your posts a little more frequently and with RCT3, if I do upgrade my computer, I should actually be able to see one of your parks! So that'll be cool.

Howdy.


God Dammit B!!!

I knew you wouldn't be gone for long...
Good to see you back, you little slut.

KISSES!!!!!!

Well, thank goodness you don't have MS. That's a pretty damn scary thought.

All is forgiven.... just make us a Disney park that isn't impossible to open.

MS= mild skitzopharani???
Excuse my spelling.

Multiple Schlerosis, or however you spell it, Asperix.

Hey, I was gluten intolerant for a week - and I know how much that can hurt. You see, I'm quite skinny so the doctors were trying to find something wrong with me.. and the bloodwork showed signs of it being positive for that.. so for that whole week I ate no flour products. Then when they did the biopsy they found out I wasn't gluten intolerant, so I was free to eat whatever then.

But there are lots of things you can still eat - I know they have stores specifically for gluten intolerant people.. they make spaghetti, bread, cookies... pretty much anything without using wheat. And hey, at least you know exactly what's wrong with you and how to fix it.

I for one am glad to hear that it wasn't something serious. True, the necessary change in your diet will take some time to get used to, but that's just an inconvenience.

I hope to see you getting back into working on RCT stuff as time permits. Looking forward to seeing your future work.

So my offer to buy you lunch is out then. Actually...we carry rice pasta just for such an occassion, so you can still come on by!

hmm...
I think I was gluten intolerant for about three and a half weeks, and it hurt like a bitch.
Whenever I ate something, it hurt. And whenever I didn't eat it hurt.
Then it stopped.

Maybe that's not what I had, I don't know. Good to have you back Meretrix.

Welcome back. I am already liking what I see from you in RCT3. Glad to hear everything to turned out for the better.

Well, welcome back, I had a feeling we would be seeing you.
I hope you can churn out some nice stuff with RCT3.
