Returning Player LFVillage

[karokan]

Real life kicked me in the posterior, and I was unable to play for a few months, in an out of the emergency room - both myself and my family. When I returned I found the village I'd been in ghostly. Apparently things were destroyed just two weeks ago.. and there is no interest in rebuilding the village.

So I suppose I'm back in the market for a new place to play.

What I have to offer:
I'm a low/mid-end farmer and cook (120 in each) with moderate survival and exploration as well (59 and 70); with a bit of LP to spend.
I'm able to be contacted more or less all hours on Skype or AIM
I've been playing since W3.
I can probably salvage a set of decent crops from the ruins of my old village; though I won't take much in case some of the older players come back as well.. they were good people, and I'm not much of one for griefing.
I don't mind doing grunt work.
I really have no interest in warring. This doesn't mean I wouldn't join a village that DOES war; I would just much, much prefer not to go out and fight myself. I'm not particularly good at it.

About me:
I'm a 23 year old girl, in the Central Standard Timezone.
I'm currently unemployed, but with a job interview this Thursday. Yay!
I'm addicted to art and drawing.
I enjoy video games.
I was the Chieftain of the village Storm's End in W3, but most everyone probably hasn't heard of us/doesn't remember us. We tried to keep our heads low.

What I'm hoping for:
Someplace moderately secure; I understand everything is just a battering ram away from death, but one can always hope
Mid-range to high end would be preferred; not because I want the best things, but because people tend not to mess with the higher end villages. That, and I'd really like people who know what they're doing. It's frustrating having to explain game mechanics to people who don't get it. This all tends to tie in to the higher-tier villages.
And most importantly (I can't believe I almost forgot this!) ...Somewhere active. I don't want to be alone half the time

Please feel free to PM me or post here. I'll be watching the thread; and if you'd like my Skype name for an instant message chat I'll share it through PMs.

Hoping to hear from you;
Karon
