A Real-Life Update; I hear New Mexico is nice this time of year...

So. I've been wondering how to go about saying this since... last month, at least. I am, as many of you are probably aware, a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. In other words, I'm a Mormon. In my church, young men between the ages of 18 and 26 are expected (privileged, really) to serve a two-year proselyting mission. It is thus that I can announce, with great pleasure,[1] that I have been called to serve in the New Mexico Farmington Mission, starting in the middle of next month. I will be away for two years, during which, for obvious reasons, I will not be able to participate in anything regarding the Independent Order. Period.[2]

The first and most immediate result of this is that I am resigning every post I currently hold in this region, RP or OOC, elected or not. This means that the CTO needs a new secretary general,[3] and any other posts I hold which I'm forgetting are as of this moment vacant. It also means that Ubakasa can be removed from the map, as can Tytor.[4] Secondly, though I'm not vanishing completely until next month, I'm officially declaring my inability to be relied upon for deadlines and other timing.[5] Third, I would like to express my disappointment in the fact that I will miss the release of Pixar's Cars 3 by a matter of months.

Anyway, I'm not vanishing completely just yet,[6] and I fully intend to return,[7] and I may still get a bit more RP in before I go, but don't expect anything spectacular or long-term[8] from me anytime soon. So, yeah, see y'all in 2019![9]

In the meantime, have a music video:[10]


[1] And, admittedly, some trepidation.
[2] That's a full stop to all you Brits.
[3] If the office hasn't already been abolished, that is. EDIT: Well, that'll teach me to go inactive...
[4] Though it would be nice to come back in two years' time and find that I still have my spot, I understand completely if that's, you know, not realistic. One way or the other, I'd appreciate it if no action would be taken until at least the 19th of April. You can do that for me, right Ach?
[5] That said, I do have one or two vignettes still in the works. Watch that particular space.
[6] I've still got four weeks until I leave, after all. And yes, CGJ, that is, in fact, a suggestion for a new countdown.
[7] So long as I'm not eaten by rampaging New Mexicans or something silly like that.
[8] Well, aside from a two-year disappearance. I suppose that counts. Sort of.
[9] Not counting the several appearances I'll make before I leave, of course.
[10] Oh, and I'm quite sick of these footnotes at this point. Whose idea were they, anyhow?

Once it's over, sure. But probably not while I'm in the mission field. The whole point is that I'm dedicating the next two years to teaching the gospel; I won't have time to check in, and I almost undoubtedly wouldn't be allowed even if I did. So, yeah, I really will be gone for two years straight.

Hey T, It's been great knowing you! I hope you have a great time on your mission, I'm sure you'll make many happy memories :)

Now I must admit, I was once in the Church of Jesus Christ...unfortunately it was a Quidditch team and the second part of the name was 'of Latter-day Beats.'
