Let's hope they haven't broken up or anything. :/

I'm sure we'll hear from him soonish, could just be that they're both getting carried away with the festivities. ;) ;)

Hey guys, I see you all have been talking and you are damn smart. We lost power her for over 2 weeks, the shit hit the fucking fan too. No power means no water no heat, means showering at school until I found a place to stay along with a few other friends who live out in the middle of fucking nowhere. We got power back a few days ago but a lot of the pipes in our house burst because the house got below freezing, its not a pretty sight in this neck o' the woods. It looks like someone droped a nuke.

Sorry I wasn't on much I missed it I had limited internet access where I was staying and my lappy was at my house. And I didn't really feel the ambition to come on here but I am back hopefully for good lol. Also I wasn't home and I really had no time to work on this mod so I will just pick up where I left off but we had our pipes fixed yesterday (I think the insurance covered it thank god) We are celebrating Christmas tomorrow and pretending that it was Dec 25 haha so most things are back to normal and it feels good.

So! Glad to be back!
