Guess Who's Back?
It's been a year since I last posted? Holy....
Let's address the elephant in the room, then go for the reintroduction. It's a complicated explanation. A lot of varying factors; short version, I got burnt out. My personal life got more difficult, and I had little to contribute here. However, I realize I needed some assistance, so now, here I am. I'm working with some old pals in the Drome slowly rebuilding. I'm not 100% fully back due to said problems. But, it's time to slowly get back into it. Needless to say, it'll be from time to time I pop in. Not permanent, due to school and fighting the demons, however. Regardless, yours truly is back. _________________________________ With that brief summary, exactly who am I? If you been following the Drome the past couple of years, you got a clue. It's right above my (current) profile pic of Undertaker, only I'm not a Dead Man Walking. All seriousness, I'm the Gold Mutant, or Gold/GM for short. At the time I joined during high school, my only familiarity with the TMNT was the then recent TMNT cartoon. That'd be the 2012 Nick rendition; I have my nostalgia for it, but it's not my cup of tea anymore. Since then, I've refamiliarized myself with the Turtles through the shows (sans Rise), movies (sans PD), and a few comics. Outside the Ninja Turtles, I am also an avid fan of other media. My Undertaker-style profile tells you I'm a wrestling guy. Also, I love video games, music, theater, working out, superheroes, basically any form of media. Currently, I am continuing my education with a focus on Communication/Film to become an editor, professor, or my pipedream, filmmaking. Since my last appearance, I made a short film (looking to revise) and trying to reignite my creative block. I've written a few stories (and three TMNT scripts), but nothing major since. I am hoping with the eventual full return here, I can get back into things. I am willing to answer questions for why I been gone. Otherwise, time to raise shell. Looking forward to seeing y'all again very soon. -Gold/GM

Same guy, but more likely to BS. (or, until I change from Taker to someone else.)

I don't even know who you are.
But I'm guessing I will? |

Welcome back. I’m glad to hear that you’re doing well.
I’m also continuing my education at the moment. Started a Healthy Eating course via Zoom recently and I’ll apply for gardening and digital media courses once they’re given the go ahead (they’re postponed for the time being due to Covid).

Guess we'll see; appreciate it either way. Quote:
It's similar right now to trying to do stuff here for me. It was hybrid until this past Wednesday, where cases came up out of nowhere. Suspicious, but eh. At the least, got both facial hair, a raise, and potentially a change in weight/size. It's a win; now, to formally improve my fat/muscle ratio and beat the mental blockades. Thanks for the words regardless, man. Thank you.

Just settling back into home and nonstop work in a retail pharmacy since Thanksgiving. I go back to school in January; just need to register due to some financial issues.
I'm still dealing with a big personal issue, and some burnout. Slow, but steady essentially.
