These goodbye posts always end up sounding like eulogies, or famous last words, and I apologize for that ahead of time in case that is what happens here. I could just take a break and then come back with a fresh outlook, but that never seems to work for anyone, and who could actually stay away from all of this long enough to do that? I know that it seems like everyone here is leaving lately, and I'm going to follow suit. I'm not leaving because everyone else is, believe me I've been playing this girl for two and a half years and I wouldn't just let her go to someone else without thinking about it for a long time. I always told Kate that when I finally sold my house, and moved in with my boyfriend and started what I would like to think of as my "adult life" I would leave this all behind. That time won't be for a few months, but I feel that now is the time to leave. I know I left once before and came back, mostly because I was really ready to leave, and Kate coaxed me into staying partly. I missed talking to her mostly, but I realize now that I don't have to keep Jaime around just to do that. I have momentary spurts of inspiration, but mostly I'm stumped with what to do with her anymore. I talk to some great people here, and that keeps me around, but I feel like her entries could be a lot better and she could be much more involved. I love you all dearly, I'm not going to name every single person that I have met and come to love within my time here, but I do have an extra special place in my heart for Kate, Jonny, Brendan, and Daryl. Not only because they are fascinating, magnetic, kind people, but because they have been here with me since the beginning, Kate especially. You all can reach me at jaime__king@hotmail.com if you would like to stay in touch and I will give you my real email address or screen name. As always, I'll never completely dissolve into the shadows of this place, so if I love you, then you know where else to find me.
Last time, I never chose a successor, I just closed the journal and left it at that. This time, I would like to choose the next person to take her on. I've always seen Jaime as the more introverted, thoughtful, deep and meaningful type of person, that's another reason why I'm leaving. A person who would write beautiful and well versed entries with colorful descriptions and all that crap. I feel like I'm too crazy to write her the way that I think she should be written. I guess if you agree with that, and would like the role, please email me at jaime__king@hotmail.com. Idiots and complete assholes may not apply.
So that's it, good luck to all of you.
