Hey, blame it on Jendo. Er... I mean, Gendo.

Hi everybody. Long time no see! I know my sudden return must come as something of a surprise and a bit of a bolt out of the blue considering I seemingly disappeared off the face of the earth a number of years ago as far as my online life goes. The reason for this is that I've been suffering with a long-term illness for several years now (basically since the time I left the original IMDb Religion forum for good) - the details of which I'd rather not go into at present.
After dealing with several serious bouts of depression, anxiety and physical difficulties, I'm finally on the mend now, feeling stronger and more positive, and beginning to rebuild my life pretty much from the ground up, hence my return to using the internet on a more frequent basis again. I'm also trying to start rebuilding my social life and attempting to re-integrate into several social circles, hence my return to this forum.
I'll admit that I'm returning to this board with a certain amount of trepidation because I was unsure of whether or not you guys would want me back or not considering I just left IMDb so suddenly and without any real explanation.
I was feeling the same kind of anxiousness about contacting Gendo again for the first time in all these years through Facebook a couple of days ago, but he couldn't have been any friendlier, more understanding or more welcoming than he was. He invited me to this forum and hey, after thinking about it for a bit, what could I say but 'yes?'
So yeah… you can blame my return on him. It's all his fault.
So… if you made it this far, after my boring you with my recent and utterly depressing life story… on to the good stuff.
Gimme all the juicy gossip! Who's still here? Who's left? What's been happening around here in general? What have I missed? I hope you're all well and I'm glad to have recognized several people and usernames from the past on here already. People like Steph and Chucklez and Liszt and LSK etc… etc…
I'm really looking forward to getting reacquainted with you guys and “shooting the bull" so to speak. It's been so long now since I've been in a social situation (online or off) that being back here will be a welcome and refreshing change of pace. It'll be fun catching up with all of you.
Lastly, if any of you have Facebook and know who I am and would like to be friends on there, just send me a private message with a link to your profile and I'll send you a friend request. My friends list on Facebook since re-activating my account is looking pretty sparse right about now so it'd be good to re-connect with any of you who a. actually somewhat like me, and b. spend time on Facebook. And you'd be doing me a favour too in terms of starting to socialize again.
I think that's pretty much all for now. Cheers for reading & putting up with my rambling and probably mostly boring re-introduction!!
Speak soon, and all the best,
- Nick. (aka. “Creep")
