I shall miss you, Violet
"Every luxury has a deep price. Every indulgence, a cosmic cost. Each fiber of pleasure you experience causes equivalent pain somewhere else. This is the first law of emodynamics [sic]. Joy can be neither created nor destroyed. The balance of happiness is constant.
Fact: Every time you eat a bite of cake, someone gets horsewhipped.
Facter: Every time two people kiss, an orphanage collapses.
Factest: Every time a baby is born, an innocent animal is severely mocked for its physical appearance. Don't be a pleasure hog. Your every smile is a dagger. Happiness is murder.
Vote "yes" on Proposition 1321. Think of some kids. Some kids."

I wasn't sure if I should do this but I said I would so..
I think its time for me to go on a more permanent leave from here. After some thought it doesn't make much sense for me to hang around. The interest in joining in the discussion faded for me quite some time ago and it was the community here that I stayed for. Unfortunately over time most of the people I really knew here have either been banned in a blaze of 'glory' or faded away probably to never return. Those who have joined since are great but its hard not to feel like somethings missing when so many people have come and gone. Without those people it seems like my place here has faded too.
My regret is not getting to know those I got along with over the years outside this forum. That said my few years here have really meant a lot. The last few years have been pretty tough and having somewhere I felt a part of really helped.
If anyone wants to stay in touch the email on my profile works. Sorry if this whole thing seems a little dramatic but for the moment I don't have any plans of returning after I sign out tonight. Perhaps I'll change my mind and be back in a few months lurking around somewhere but for now that seems pretty unlikely.

Well, goodbye mate. Hope life treats you well.

What the fuck happened to Amalynne0?!?
She hasn't been here since August. Have I missed something?

She was only here for like a month, though, right?
I think the newness wore off and it wasn't as interesting for her. She was hot, though. And smart and funny.

She'll be well taken care of, don't you be worrying now.
I'm here if you need me.
