I know that I have only
technically been active for about a year, but I thought that I would put the topic to make my arrival date more accurate
Yes, I soon celebrate two years here on the AU Forum!
I was on the Tag about 4 years ago and have been in and out. I unfortunately had to quit, because it got addictive (too many wonderful people) and school had to take priority. Unfortunately it seems that I am having a repeat in history... I was silly enough to take IB in school and now I am stuck with it. I have too many things to do and too little time. Also, if I decided that I would remain here, I would certainly rather fail high school and spend time with all you wonderful, caring people. However, I would die and get disowned and disemboweled and Im sure that my parents could find all sorts of other unpleasant thing to do to me (Not really... They are wonderful, understanding people for the most part. I think that I would do those things to myself before they thought of it
).
So. I celebrate a coming, and a going. If temporary, it would be wonderful. After next summer, I will try to pop in occasionally, so that I dont miss you all so much while I am away. Because its weird how much I think about this place when I leave. Or maybe not so weird...
But enough about me. It is all the people on this Forum that make it such a warm, fuzzy place
I know that there is occasional outbursts of emotion, and fact and whatnot, but that happens among families too. Arguments and disagreements... Those are far too rare here to be mentioned, but I find that when over they usually help communication and bring people closer together. I find that it is an absolutely wonderful environment and I take my hat off to the Mods for their work :bow: (Y'all need a smilie that takes off it's hat
) There is such a cool gathering of people with so many different views, from so many places. It reminds me of boarding school... Except that you unfortunately dont really get to see people. However, its the same in the fact that even if you dont talk with people so much you just feel like you know them well, simply because you can relate with them at one level or another. I dont think that I've ever had that experience anywhere besides here and one very special other place, far far away. To me its the most wonderful thing in the world.
Here is a few people that I would like to send some extra hugs and love and appreciation to
JF-sie: Mummsy darling, I dont even know where to begin. You are just the most caring, and diplomatic person I know. Your duckies, not so much (but it is they who shall help us rule the world! MUHAHA!):P You've always been so warm, and sweet to me - no matter how many graphics I asked for (
THEY ARE JUST TOO YUMMY! -munch- ) You really have a heart of gold and I think that I am just so fortunate to know you, even a little bit.
Thank you so much!
Meph: What can I say? Crazy, far too English, and a sweetie. Dear, you're the best Welcoming Buddy that I could have asked for
Darky M'am: For the Queen of the Nazguls, you're pretty darn, spiffing amazing. I cannot believe that you live only two hour's drive from me... I hope that I get to meet you one day! I totally take off my hat to your attitude towards IB and the fact that you are so outspoken
What else? Oh. You give good advice
Aliana: Ammy love, you totally disappeared off the planet. I miss talking to you sweetie... I cannot even start to thank you for the hard times that you pulled me through
YOU ARE AMAZING! And talented and very sweet and just so.. Ammeh.
Aerlinny: My sweetie, you too. I havent talked to you in forever, and I miss your PM's bombarding me with questions and your wonderful outlook on life
All that music! You are so talented and I wish you all the best of luck!
Maeth: You are probably the oldest person that I know dearie, from chat. I actually remember rather well the first night that I popped into the tag... There were many RP's back then and all of them were far more... Conservative. You and Jules and Ilmari - the Three Silies
I miss you girlies lots, and totally hope to catch you online at some point.
Welcoming Team: All of you. I have never talked to any of you without getting a warm, bubbly reply that made me feel fuzzy on the inside. NEVER. I wish that I got to know more of you better, but for now I just want to send you all a big
and thank you for doing such a great job with making newbies feel right at home
The Evilishy Nazgûl Alliance for World Domination: We are the coolest beings on the planet. Like actually. You guys are all awesome, and all our evilness is amazing. Hobbit Snacks, and the One Pan, and all that stuff... I think that we could all be very successful businesses if we persuade people that we aren't trying to infiltrate the mind of little kids with Dark Thoughts.
I think that it would be only fair to send a shout out to the amazing
Frodo Club as well, whom I did not have the privilege of visiting while I was around this break. I hope that I will bump into you all someplace. And our website sort of fell apart... We should try to revive it!
And then for all you wonderful people around the Forum who I have had the privilege to talk to, whereby briefly about all sorts of things - from music to graphics to hobbit toes and wizard hats.
Im terribly at good bye, even for short periods of time
And this dosent to justice to you all. I certainly hope that I can keep in touch through e-mail or MSN.
Much love,
Namarie

Good-byes are so sad, especially when it's an awesome member like you saying good-bye. You're a really an amazing, sweet, funny, and over all just a great person. And although I'm sad that you're leaving, I understand why. And I do hope you'll come back in the summer, if only for a minute. I know I'd love to see you.
