{WH comes out to explain}

*Sigh*

How to put this the right way without making any mistakes... well, guess 
I'd better start at the beginning...

First of all; I have been hinting that I am going to be away from 
computers for about two years. Yet, I have not explained why so far. 
Now, you will learn why.

The main reason: It's religous, above all else. I am of the LDS religon 
or Latter Day Saints or Mormons are we are more commonly called. 

And before you go out on a tiff about how you dislike about my religon, 
don't bother, we get enough of that crap from the media as it is. I've 
developed a little list of things the media has said that has been 
immature and rude. 

Dennis Rodman swearing at the audience in Salt Lake City (Che. The Jazz 
should have won that game.). 

The boneheaded manager of the Bulls having the unmitigated gall of 
calling us a cult... I highly doubt a religon with over +10 million 
members can be called a cult. 

Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails tearing up a Book of Mormon on stage. 

And worst of all, seeing a statue of the Angel Moroni being dumped in 
that awful movie Starship Troopers (I never actually saw this, I'm only 
going from most of the reviews I've read). 

It takes it's toll, I tell ya. *sniff* And for all I know, I could be 
taking this all too seriously. And maybe I am and just showing how dense 
I can be at times. After all, I'm only human. Now, after thoroughly 
making myself look like an idiot, I'll get back to the main point.

Whenever young men reach the age of 19, they are requested to serve on 
two year missions to various parts of the world to 'spread the gospel' 
as it is called and give service to our fellow man. They are given the 
choice, they are not forced. I have made the choice to do this ever 
since I was 11 and I have no intention to go back now. 

Some go on it to do the aformentioned(spreading the word, as it is put), 
a few do it to find themselves, some do it just for the chance to go out 
into the world. My reason is that, I believe that it will make a better 
man out of me. I mean, it's not just converting, it's also trying to 
help those that are in need. Doing good, you know? 

Sure, it may seem like a long while for being away for two yeays, but my 
mom told me it only seems big when you see it as a whole. And countless 
return missionaries have told me that it goes by just like that. So, it 
won't seem so long.

And concerning my fanfics, I have been talking with a friend that has 
agreed to carry them to the ML via letters I am going to send him. It 
will be a while for my first chapter though, but I will be working on my 
fanfics in my spare time. So, in a way, I won't be gone, it will just 
take a long while to get a personal response from me. ^_^

Well; on April 1, I will be heading into the MTC (Missionary Training 
Center) where I will stay there for about two months to REALLY brush up 
on my Japanese. Then, I will be staying for the remaining 22 months , 
serving my mission in Kobe, Japan. Note: I will most likely be too busy 
to even think about going to the manga/anime stores on account of what 
some friends of mine told me, so don't be jealous. 

And during that time, you will all be safe from me. You will have 
breathing space to hide from me and my massive array of Teknoman 
crossover fanfics! During that time, you shall feel safe... but be 
warned... it will not be forever! BWA HA HA HA HA!!

Once the remaining 22 months are up, I will come back and I will make my 
presence known to you all. And I hope that most of you will still be 
here, because I've grown a fondness for some of the folks here at the 
ML. During the last part of my mission, I'll write specific letters for 
the FFML alone. Letting you begin to fear my inevitable return.

Then, once I gain access to the internet once more...

Be afraid...

Be VERY afraid...
