The Newly Departed thread: announcements (departures)

[Excited Penguin]

I wrote a long post reassuring everyone I would leave right after I fulfilled my mafia related responsibilities. I mentioned some people I truly consider friends here, some I wronged, some I respect, all of which I like and which made my presence here a pleasant and satisfying experience for the most part.

But my Chrome crashed. Interestingly enough. It's as if it doesn't want me to leave.

Long story short, I do want to leave. I have something going on in my life right now. I value it more than anything else and I don't want to jeopardize it by staying on this forum, which I believe might happen. Once that works out, I'll probably return, but most likely not until or unless that happens. I need some time to figure things out in this instance, and I need to work on making it last. I can't do that if I'm active here. Too much history and stuff.

I also think there's some tension between me and staff at the moment, and I'd like to resolve it as peacefully as possible. I hope my absence will help with that, as well as bringing a new EP upon return - here's hoping.

But no more details about that. That's not something I want to discuss.

I don't want to make a list of people I like with the risk of leaving anyone out. But let me just say anyone and everyone who ever interacted with me at length on this forum is free to PM me and ask me for my contact details as concerns skype and facebook and such.

Just a few honorable mentions, though, off the top of my head.

Losty, Hammy, Alex K, CD, Catholic_Lady, Kitty Galore, Aroura, Nymphadora, KevinM1, Robvalue, Bella Morte, Jelly, Valkyrie, Rozkek, abaris, Mamacita...

Some of these I've wronged and/or am on bad terms with right now. I want to apologize to them.

Some of these I trust.

Some of these I just like.

Others I simply respect.

All of them have been a part of my experience here, as well as others I can't think of right now.
