    I have some explaining to do.

    It's fairly common knowledge to my friends at the pavilion that I have severe memory problems. Its hard for me to accurately recall the events that transpired an hour or so ago, and anything that happened a week or more ago might be lost to me entirely. I also black out for about an hour at least once every 3 months or so. I'll be doing something, and all of a sudden I won't have any memory of what I had been doing. it will seem like mere seconds went by, like a little day dream or something like that. but the clock tells me otherwise.

    It's been getting worse.

    People who frequent the pavilion have no doubt noticed countless delays in my enhancement of the site, and any large updates that I've ever proposed, like the more recent renovations that started a while ago (I honestly cannot recall when they started), or even the month-long lapse with the pavilion giveaway updates. I've come up with countless excuses for these things. I said the giveaway was now over because nobody had claimed anything for the past 2 weeks. I lied. checking my PMs, the last item was claimed on january 12th.

    The real reasons things suddenly stop or get mysterious delays here at the pavilion is because I often forget about them entirely, that I forget how to do them, or completely lose focus on what exactly has to be done. I actually completely forgot about the giveaway. even with the items sitting on my desk with post-it notes on them with names and adresses written on them.


    This cannot continue. Not just for the pavilion, but for myself. Something is wrong with me, something has been wrong with me for quite a long time, and I'm tired of having to deal with it, to have to strain and stress myself to be able to do anything, to have to carry around notebooks to track the stupidest things like the names of family members and longtime friends.

    I'm terrified of this. I have been for a long time, which is why I havent tried getting it checked out for so long. I'm afraid of what is potentially wrong with me, and I'm even more afraid of the doctors telling me that they can't find any problems.

    I just told my parents about this for the first time. I've hid it from them since the beginning. I had planned on getting into the doctors next week, but my mom has decided that it's getting scheduled tomorrow.

    I'll keep you updated on what I find out.

    If things don't improve, I'll be stepping down from pavilion staff. I cannot run this place in my present condition anymore. as things are now, even attempting to update anything on the pavilion, no matter how many times I've done it before, is just an endless source of frustration to me.

    I wouldn't want you to step down, Valk--you've done excellent work here. However, I'm a lot more concerned with your health. I hope it isn't anything serious.

    You've always been nice to me even when I don't deserve it, so the best thing I can do is wish you all the best.

      Yeash, well I hope things turn out for the better for you. Maybe they can just give you some drug for it? If not who would control it? That idea scares me. Can Kire have it again, I like him. Plus nobody else has been in on the private convos between like Doan, Ix, you, and even I, on where things stand and such...

        Well hopefully your memory improves, and it's something that could be fixed by eating fish and some herbs (like ginko, or whatever that was) to help improve it. Of course if you ever need help with site updates or reminding you to do them just let me or some of the staff know. We here to help you. You could stay head of site, and just get a couple of people to help you out with site updates.

        Well hope the doctors find out something useful and you're able to work through this. I wish you luck.

          Valk, I feel your pain. I can't ever remember anything. You can sit me in a classroom full of my friends and I will remember only a few of thier names even so that's only because I encounter them on a daily basis. I may not have the extent of your memory loss Valk but I can't remember anything. We could have a debate and I will forget what I said 2 seconds ago.

          As for you leaving you do way too well of job running the website and I would have to say that if you step away from running it, I may leave altogether. You are the best Admin I have encountered so far and I would hate somthing like forgetfulness ruin that. However if it is somthing serious like a brain tumor or alzheimers than I would understand.

                  That sucks dude.

                  You'll probably get a lot of head scans and have to wait a long time for any type of diagnosis.

                    Valk -

                    I’m glad you decided to comfort this and take action to find out what’s going on. The initial step is often time the hardest. Keep me updated and you’re in my thoughts.

                      I'm very sorry.

                      This hurts me deeply.

                      I hope the help you are seeking will discover a cause and offer a solution.

                      Let us know.

                      We all care greatly.

                        We're all pulling for you that it's something treatable or beatable. Glad you're getting it dealt with. We all do that sometimes, we're so afraid of what the diagnosis might be we don't go see a doctor. But like they say the unknown is always scarier than the truth, and even if it is whatever your worst fear it's better to deal with it than let it get worse while you try to avoid it. Anyway, best wishes from all of us. And in the event you ever do step down you'll always be the highly respected and much loved Palkysas. It's been how long since Kire ran the place and he still struts around like he's the pope of chilitown.

                          I have very similar problems. At first it was easy to sweep it under the carpet, and chalk it all up to...whatever's convenient at the time...but lately it's gotten worse. I STILL can't remember my one of my best friend's phone numbers...and I've called it HUNDREDS of times in the last 15 years. I went to call her, and suddenly I realised that I couldn't remember ANY of it. I just stood there like...huh? I couldn't believe it. After that, I couldn't ignore it any more. I've forgotten to call every single one of my friends on their birthdays this last year...even if I make a note to myself, I'll lose it, or forget to look at it. It was always bad, but lately it's gotten scary.

                          I hope you can find something out about this soon, and hopefully be able to at least halt the loss. It seems like a LOT of people I know are having this problem, which makes it even scarier. I'm not kidding...me, you, my dad, my friend Brian, and another close friend all feel like the pages of their lives are blowing away. It's not only scary, it's really sad.

                          If you feel that you must forego administrative control, then that's your call...but I'd be really sad to see you go. Just promise that you'll stick around, ok?

                            Whoah... that's some scary stuff. I hope everything turns out for the best. This place just isn't the same without you.

                              Well, I haven't been a member here very long, and I don't really know any of you that well, but that makes me very sad to hear it! I will be praying for you Valkysas!

                              I don't want to scare you, but I have had a few members of my family (aunts, cousins) find out they had brain tumors after similar symptoms. Please get it thoroughly checked out!

                              Please keep us informed. I wish you all the best.
