Not any time soon, sometime later this year. I will be gone for a long time, probably forever.

My job is in Germany, and it will be for at least 11 months. If I do come back, don't count on me really being here. I may be around, but I wont be the same and I wont really be active. I may not even have the same name (the Government thinks I should change it, but I don't want to).

I'll be working for the government, but what I'm doing I'm not supposed to tell you guys.

This is as much a warning as it is a goodbye. Since I will not be gone until at least August, just keep it in mind.

*nods head solemnly*

Secret Agent "Non" activated!

Not sure if Non's just drunk, or if he's having an inexplicably exciting life again.

This time it is the latter.

The one thing I find true in life is that the adventure is always just beginning, and it always will be until the day I die. There is nothing more important to me than this.

Oh and Mary is going to Turkey for a relatively similar thing.

You both are secret agents? Like in Mr. & Mrs. Smith?

I'm going with half-truth, and he really does have some other job and it'll get in the way of his DRL-life but it's not nearly as interesting as he's letting on

It's not going to be nearly as interesting as I think it is, but I am going to Germany, Mary is going to Turkey, and neither of us are allowed to talk about it. I also am one of a couple hundred who applied.

We ain't spies, it's much more modest and much less exciting. Again, however, I lose the job if I say more than that.


EDIT: and hey, I ain't askin' you to believe me. If you want to believe that I'm actually a purple space monkey with chainsaws for hands, go ahead, I am not going to stop you. If you want to believe I'm actually an eighty year old woman from sri lanka, go ahead, there's nothing I can do about it. Believe what you want to believe, but there is no reason for me to lie to you.

I knew it. ALL THIS TIME I KNEW IT.

Aw, Non.

I don't want you to leave :C

Aw ;_;

That's why the government recruited him: to fight German neo-nazi terrorists with your space monkey chainsaw powers and save the president from being nuked!

Yep. I know it may seem like there's no reason I wont be able to be here, because of course I'll have downtime and of course I'll be able to access DRL from Germany, but one of the reasons I got the job (as did Mary) is because we are both gifted in the learning of languages. That sounds like a totally unrelated thing, but to learn the language quickly I'm going to have to put all my power into studying the language and being around as many Germans as possible. I want to see and hear as little english as possible, and I will need to use my free time usually spent here doing something else.

I don't want people to be disappointed, I'll always pay homage to this forum and this forum only, and I will be back at some point. I mean, I can't just GIVE my house away, I have to come back at some point.


Until I decide I need money and sell the house.

But-.. Non... ;_;

try not to get too drunk on your secret mission



oh, derp, I realized you were going to GERMANY
