Hmmm, I'm tempted to write the obvious REM reference, but I'm going to avoid that. Rather, R.H.T.S. B.F.F. (raise hell this summer. best friends forever). Stay sweet, I'll see you this summer. Love you like a sister.

Heheh. Remember! That time! Remember that time when we drank absinthe? Yeah, and then we smoked all that mash? Remember? And remember when after that, all that funk was dropped? And we snorted genomes and activiated care bears all night long? I remember that time. It was *cool*. Y.B. + Mina 4 3v3r!! Stencilton High football rulz!

"The advantage of a bad memory is that one enjoyes several times the same good things for the first time."

Pioneers we are, and pioneers we'll stay
As we go on playing day after day.
The times we've shared, drunk or not,
Or the lovely cultural melting pot;
I'll miss you all, and at the end of the day
I wave goodbye as we part our ways,
Adios, adieu, bye bye, and love you;
I hope to see all of you in the big game too!

to jean: you know.
and to the rest of you lovely people: thank you muchly, and i hope you got more sleep than i did. it's been fun.

I won't go name by name, for fear of leaving anyone out, but simply say that you've been a balm, a revelation, a joy, a mountain of laughter, an astonishment--and, I hope, a promise of better things when we meet again. Not soon enough, but eventually. Take care, and I'll look for you when we cross over. . .

After all the eloquence, it really just comes down to friendship and respect. And as someone much smarter than me said, "The time we enjoy wasting, is not wasted time." (Thanks, inspo!) It's been real, and that's saying a lot for a online game, isn't it? My vocabulary is enriched and my world is wider (was there ever a time when I didn't know about pellicle pluckers or purple paper?). Thank you all, and we'll meet on the other side! Be well. Love ya!

Remember when your world was filled with question marks?
Remember when you first got addicted to GNE?
When reading Tom Bombadil's autobiography mattered?
When making a red sheet of paper took one minute, maybe two?
Remember when Ol' Pulpy grew ream upon ream of paper?
The time before notes? When houses cost trillions and quadrillions of shekels?
And GNEs took two people to make? Before the devs lost weight?
Remember when Eglantine instituted a slimeball clean-up campaign at the town dump?
When all the girls lined up for the majick mojo?
Remember Mr. Dawgg? Adidas? Alex Massie? Samantha? Kallesse?
And all those Level 12 and inspoetica jokes?
No?
Well then, remember when we spent dreary days and sleepless nights helping and talking to each other while doing our own thangs? Aspiring for a home to own, eager for the next thing to make?
Remember the company we kept? The things we learned?
I always will.
I'll miss you all! See you ITRG :~)

Hint: elmegyek = i am leaving, figure out the gist of the rest yourself! ;)

It's been fun, but I've worn out the buttons on three mice with all the papermaking, entitlement transcending, genome examining and so on.
I will miss the days camping out in the woods between intrigue and hysteria in search of desire. I can't believe I made it to level 19. That I did is an indication of how helpful all the people in this nutty world really are.
I won't be back, but my daughter, Hollyrox, will carry on for me.

It's going to take me a while to figure out what I'm going to do with all the time I'll have if there's no GNE for a while.
Probably reading the blogs of the various new people I've met, and contributing to Paper Lane.
Reflecting back, I don't think I would have been able to get to make a cow, a GNE, or Purple Paper without the help of others. If you helped: +1 karma for you!
One major flaw with the Alpha: It's possible for someone to give you head without asking first. Hopefully this will be fixed ITRG.
