Mom and Dad are gonna unplug the internet starting January 1st, 2010. So as of right now, I'm officially gonna be gone next year. Obliterated off the face of the internet until I move out or they pass on.
I feel just awful for doing any of this, as I know people are gonna be real upset to see a good friend they've known for so long suddenly disappear. I don't mean for this to happen, but it will, and be out of my power.
So for this journal, I wanna give my tearful thanks to everyone who's been there for me on this account.
I remember you from when I first started. We may not have spoken much, but you always remained close. It was nice that even friends on a forum away can follow you here.
Like Axel, we never really spoke much, but also like him you were there to help me pick up the pieces. You may have been more random than others, but that always gave me a warm smile.
You were an awesome friend, one that would actually connect with me. We may have only done one Brawl together, but it was just nice to hear your voice for the first time. Not to mention you've grown to make your own likable characters, something I've only been able to do twice in my internet life.
You were probably one of the coolest girls I've ever had the chance of meeting...and I'm ever so glad I got to know you. A great artist, as well as being ever so likable, gave me such a big smile to know such a friend is now a mere three hour drive away.
The first time we ever talked, I had a suspicious feeling we'd be pretty close buds. And boy, am I glad I was right. You were always a great person to talk to, always sparked with such enthusiasm and even going so far as to make your characters a trademark. That's something I don't think I'll ever get to see again.
But the one person who I'll probably miss the most...is...
You may have your moments of when you'd break down under pressure, and I know I was there to help you sometimes. It happens to the best of us. You have what I consider perfect talent for a good future for you in Web Design, and your fan site proves such. You were a good friend, not to mention one of the first who would actually be my friend off of a forum. You touched my heart and made it warm... That's something I'll never forget.
I'll still be able to go to my local library and connect there, but other than that, that's probably the only way you'll ever see me on unless I somehow got the magical ability to live on my own.
So, from all of us here...Saphira...Sheena...myself as well...
Goodbye...and happy new year...
