[Standback]

Yeah, I should...
But I'm not gonna. I saw the thread open and it's wonderful, and I'm looking forward to actually be able to read it... but I've just got no time, no time, no time. My participation in the 5MV forums has dropped substantially, beginning at finals - but surprisingly (to me), stayed low all summer vacation long. I've managed to keep myself busy with a whole lot of things, like hopping back and forth between home (Ra'anana) and Jerusalem (where I study and have lotsandlotsandlots of friends), and organizing my very own convention (Paranoia is fun. Other games are not fun. The Computer says so. Play Paranoia).

With everything that's going on, I haven't found the free time to fully dive back into the usual precious nonsense on these forums... and now's not that time either, I'm afraid. Still busy.

In point of fact, some here will be interested to know... a week from monday, I start basic training in the Israeli Defense Force. It's actually not too big of a deal - it's less than 4 weeks long, and it'll be with a whole bunch of fellow Academic Reserves geeks like me, and after that it's back to second year Math and CompSci. But army's a major part of Israeli life, and this'll be my first real taste of it, so... that's kinda major. Plus, I have to get my hair cut.

In conclusion... thanks, but real life (or some facsimile thereof)'s still got me.
