((If you don't get the reference, I'm sorry, but we can't be friends anymore.

Only not really, I love all of you to death.  Which is why it's difficult for me to write this...  But, unfortunately, I think my time here is done.  I know a part of me will always want to stay, but I realize that this place is no longer good for my health in the long run and it's just killing my muse.  So, I think this is a sign that it's time for mama hen to leave the nest.

Gracious, I can't believe this place has stuck together for so long.  Three years, you guys.  And if you take into consideration how long us oldbies have been together from our DGM RP days, that's even longer.  I don't think I've ever stuck with a group for so long and I'm happy that I did.  I'm happy that I was able to gain so many memories.  And I'm definitely happy to have met and made so many great friends here.

Seriously, as silly as this sounds, this place was like a second home to me and I've always considered all of you my second family.  Honestly, if there was ever an opportunity for all of us to actually live together, I would definitely take it up in a heartbeat.  I'm so glad I was able to get to know all of you and got the chance to interact with all of your unique characters and ideas.  Really, you're all incredibly creative and I really hope you all continue to create and bring in new ideas.

I also want to say thank you...for a lot of things.  Thank you for bringing me out of my shell, more or less.  Thank you for helping my characters and ideas flourish and giving me the motivation to continue with them.  Thank you for putting up with me and the nonsense that I stirred up sometimes.  I know I can be an absolute, royal ass when I'm in one of my moods and I sincerely apologize for the stress I've caused a lot of you when I've thrown my fits.  I am really trying to work on that and that's another reason why I'm leaving this place.

I want to start with a clean slate for myself.  So, that being said, I am erasing my characters from existence here.  They were pretty much being forgotten about and left behind anyway, so I figure this will be best.  Yes, I'm cutting off the ties they've had with people and it will be like as if they were never there.  I'm really sorry, but this will keep me from wanting to come back.  All I ask is that they're never mentioned anymore or thought of or anything.  And while I technically can't really keep anyone from doing that, I would feel better if this was done.  I would really appreciate it.

Now, this certainly doesn't mean goodbye by any means!  I am just saying farewell to the group, but all of you are always welcome to still talk to me.  Most of you know my Skype and my tumblr, so don't be afraid to harass me there.  And of course, I still have my main DA ~rainbowbutterfly  Hopefully I can start updating it again.  And who knows, maybe I can get over my self-consciousness about one-on-one roleplays.  But in the meantime, I'll be making my own independent thing over at tumblr and I'm planning on making a group someday.  I'm probably going to leave most of my accounts here hanging around for nostalgia purposes and the fact that I have things I don't want to lose on them, but that's it.

Well, I really don't know what else to say.  I hope this group continues to thrive and I know a lot of you have the creativity for it.  Never ever lose that.  I love you all!

Ollies outie! ))
