I want a permaban so badly but I want to be here for the VMAs

The struggle is real. And I want to be here for when R8 drops. But I don't want to be here. I've been banned for 2 of the past 3 months and achieved so much. Got a full time job, got up to 100kg (220lbs), I've been seeing a lot of guys. This website is such a waste of time/our lives. But I like it every now and then.
Can we request permas and then DM the ATRL twitter account when we want to come back for a day or two? E.g. the VMAs, R8 dropping, something huge happens in pop culture that we want to discuss, etc.
Or is it like once you're gone, you're gone 5eva.
