User blog:MicaSmash/Reasons for my absence...

Hey, Wikians!

It's been a while, hasn't it? I think that two and a half months count as a while. :)

OK, everyone should have noticed that I have been absent from the Wikia, right? Well, now I'm going to tell you why I was absent.

(Prepare for a pre-prepared monologue-ish speech)

I have not been heard from on this Wikia for a long time. Naturally, I have alibi.

The release of MC:PE update 0.15.0.0 (as it was named on the Apple App Store) was the falling action in my Minecraft PE adventure. My current mobile device, an iPod Touch 4th Gen, was incapable of running the new update, as a 4th Gen's OS is limited to iOS 6.1.6. MC:PE 0.15.0.0, of course, required a minimum of iOS 8. I do have a capable Android device, however I currently do not have MC:PE on it, and it would be inconvenient, at the moment, for me to buy MC:PE on an Android account. So, I am currently unable to play the latest version of MC:PE.

Of course, all this doesn't answer the questions, "Why not stay and continue editing on the Wikia? Are you annoyed because you can't play the latest update of MC:PE?"

Well, no. I'm not annoyed or spiteful. I simply couldn't find the time to get on the Wikia.

Why? Simple. School started to crack down hard on me and I didn't have enough free time when I wasn't exausted. After a month and a half of agony, I was a little more free, but just like with exercising, if you get out of the grove, it can be hard to get back in.

I have been absent for a long time, I should have come back to the Wikia sooner and I want to be more active again. However, school is still rather pressing for me, and my family and I will be traveling soon, and in my family, we don't settle down properly for several weeks after traveling.

Therefore, I am sorry to say that it will yet be a while before I can truly return to the Wikia for good.

I will, however, pop up now and then to edit or talk. So I won't be as gone as before. :)

I hope that everyone can find it in their hearts to forgive my long absence and patiently weather the upcoming periods when I will again be inactive.

Anyway, I'm happy to be back and I look forward to participating in activities and descussions with everyone!

Thanks,
