i went on a trip but now I am back

I have sort of been absent for the last 2 weeks. I went to the french revolution and attacked the royal army from a barricade. I chased scoundrels and found true love. I was thrown into the pit of poverty but climbed my way back out.
I started reading a book that I had not finished about 3 years ago. I do not remember it being so addicting, but then when I picked it up again I could not seem to want to do anything else. (Thank-you Josh & Starfall for helping me multi-task!). But now I am done, I have shed my tears, and I feel like I have caught a wake-up call back to the present.
