it's been nice knowing you

No, I'm not flouncing out of fandom, but I am about to start studying again (professional qualifications), and this is gonna be much more time consuming than university, alas. So my fandom participation and much of my social life has to take a backseat for big chunks of the next twenty months (assuming I pass everything first time, which is a necessity if I am to have any chance of not going insane).

I will try to keep up with f-list and twitter, but there will be times when I probably shouldn't. RL friends - it's not that I don't want to see you guys, and I won't be a total hermit during semesters, but I will be passing on a lot of social occasions, especially during the day on weekends.

God, I'm totally depressing myself :(

Oh, and there's basically no break between the first and second subjects, the next one starts a week after my exam. But there are breaks (between 5 to 9 weeks) between subjects after that.

Confession - while I've been dipping my toes into American Idol stuff, it's not really been for the fic, but I would totally read AI gen stories about wacky tour antics, especially if they featured Adam and Kris getting over-protective big brother-ish because Allison meets a guy (or girl). Hell, it could be a bandom crossover (I'm trying to think of people young enough and awesome enough for her - omg, Allison/Cassadee is too much adorableness in one pairing). But not being into the fic is a good thing, given the whole "needing to cut back on fandom time" thing.

Good luck with everything, and I hope we'll see you around every once in a while, to say hello at least.

At least at times, I'll appear to be around as much as normal, but I just had an information session about the course, so I'm being a trifle melodramatic (but not by much) about how bad it'll get.

The lack of RL social life isn't much of an exaggeration though, alas!
