Leaving.
I’m leaving.
I can’t say this has been a decision I’ve thought long and hard about, because honestly it’s been one of the rashest decisions I’ve ever made. Last night I just couldn’t take it and I need to leave. I received some bad news that I thought wouldn’t matter to me, but it actually really woke me up. It wasn’t death, just to put it out there. It was more to do with my future. Some of you may not know but I dropped out of school and I want to get back into education and Mibba is just sometimes holding me back. Best procrastinating friend and all.
I will only leave after the Surprise Prompt Challenge is over and tied up. So I’ve got till Mid April to be here. I wouldn’t leave anyone in the lurch here. I just hope that someone carries on the frerard ‘cult’ and doesn’t let it die out. That was my intention to keep it going and you can’t predict life so I never knew I would only see the start of a revolution and then leave soon in its beginnings.
Even if I decided this at a moment’s notice, it is by far a hard decision. Wait, hard doesn’t even cover it. Mibba was my home, I met some amazing people and can’t imagine my life without them. I’m not ready to leave you guys. If you have me on msn or aim, then you’ll still hear from me regularly. (If you haven’t added me and would like to, I’ll put my details on my profile).
What does this mean for my stories? Well, I deleted most of them anyway, except the 2 I wanted to continue. Superficial is my most read and I will carry it on outside of the boards, maybe by being away from pressure I might be able to write more and post it up when I come back in the summer. I also had a few one-shots I wanted to work on, and I think same goes for all of them, I will still write them, but just not post them. You might be able to request my work or something on msn if I get anything written. Oh and Role Playing is not something I’m giving up, so if you want to RP with me, then I’d love to. I’m pretty much up for anything that has slash.
As for the comments I owe people (outside of the contest) I’ll try getting some done but I’m not promising anything. However much I can get done before leaving, I’ll try my best and get around to them. If I have forgotten to comment you work, please remind me soon because I’ve lost he list I made on all the people I needed to comment. XD
IS THERE ANYTHING GOOD TO SAY IN THIS JOURNAL?
Why yes there is. We haven’t discussed it but you’re all invited to mine and Cobweb.’s wedding. :]
I’m keeping my promise and having a wedding sometimes between March 1st – March 15th. I really hope you all come. The details I’m leaving to Cobbie to plan ‘cause she’s more fantastic at that stuff. :tehe: I seriously love that girl and without her I wouldn’t be here and even though she sometimes fails to see her beauty and worth, I try and remind her she means so much to me (I’m going to write another journal for you).
I guess that pretty much wraps up what I needed to say.
All the best for your entries and life.

I hope however your life goes, it goes great. I have no idea who you are, and stumbled across this from your writing competition thing, but I really hope you'll be okay. I'm glad you're sticking around long enough to tie things up though, that shows maturity, which is something a lot of people don't have now-a-days. KUDOS. If you need to talk, PM me, cuz I'm almost always around. Good luck, honey!
P.S. This Isn't A Selfish Decision. School is one of the most important things in today's society and people don't realize that. I'm happy that you HAVE realized that and are getting focused. Let us know if you ever show back up on mibba though. Blow us all away with something spectacular, and we'll all be like; Hey, she's back! And then we'll all come and hug tackle you to death.
Happy marriage! (I just don't want to end this do I? No, I don't I hate goodbyes...) And sorry it took me so long to see this. I stumble across things way too late, I know. ^..^

You're leaving...? :shock:
Even though I barely know you, I want to wish you good luck with your eduction and such. I wish you weren't giving this away but I can pretty well say that from experience, Mibba can be extremely distracting. :tehe:
So with that said, I hope you get the best of luck with whatever comes your way. :arms:
jeph., February 19th, 2009 at 04:38:59am
Wow.
I barely even know you, but this is the first time a journal about someone leaving has actually...made me think? I don't know. I know you're thinking about your future, and that's amazing because most people take that for granted and think it's all going to fall into place.
I must say, by starting that contest you've inspired me a lot. Ask Tamara, we have a few plans up our sleeves as of lately.
And, honestly? I probably never would be back today, writing like I am, if it wasn't for what you've attempted (and so far, is working) to do by getting frerard going again. When Tamara messaged me I was like...I need to do this (mainly because trying to get frerard back was something I was going to work on...I made a little contest a while ago before Tamara even messaged me that was just over a few days ago).
And yeah, it might sound lame considering it's just a contest and contests are held all the time, but it just brought back the spirit of old-school frerard writing and spending nights up late on the computer and just...writing.
Well, again, I don't really know you all that well, but you've started something, and I assure you, no one will let it die now that it's started.
I wish you the best of luck with all your life decisions and getting things worked out.
xo,
M.

I have to say a big thankyou to everyone who's send me PMs, commented me or commented here. You're all so amazing for caring and being supportive.
Its been a selfish and hard decision, but one I'm excited and glad to want to keep. I just need to do this for myself and my mom. She's done so much for me and I can't just let my grades go to sh*t. I will make it into medicine at university if it kills me (well not to that extent XD).
For those of you attending our wedding, I thank you. We want the whole frerard family there. :tehe:
Also thanks to everyone who've added me on msn. :] I'll keep contact with you all through msn, aim and my phone if any of you ahve my number. :] I love you all.
Thankyou for everything (though I'm not leaving just yet).

-clings- L-L-Leaving? I've never really known you, but you created somehing that was worth being in and having to give up on it is hard. On a happy note, glad to see that you've invested in school again. I guess it has to account for something.
I wish I could of known you better which is why I will add you on MSN, as that is my second home. :P Lets hope you'll be able to rejoin Mibba at a later date. :arms:
Garry Way, February 18th, 2009 at 09:18:47am
Everyone else has already said it all, so I'd just like to wish you luck with your future. It's great that you're taking control of your education and mibba does make procrastinating even easier than it already is. I do wish I'd gotten the opportunity to talk to you more though.

jeordie., February 18th, 2009 at 06:51:34am
:cry: HALLY
You know... I could sit here and write the worlds longest comment saying how much I wish you to stay, but I'm going to be a... good (i hope)... person and respect your decision even though i don't particulary agree that i think you should leave. (It is going to help with school and all... I think all mibbians spend way to much time online instead of getting work done :shifty) I shall miss you greatly and look forward to talking to you over.. -sniff- IMs.
The contest shall be the last of you on Mibba? I must say that it is a good thing to go out with. The surprise prompt is by far the coolest cult/contest to see Mibba. I applaud you on that. But still.. I want you to stay... but nobody can really make you do so, you know? We all just have to get what we can out of you and that's the IMs and such. I think that can hold everyone over. Even though.. well... you know. When you have a good friend you kinda want to talk to them all day/every day even though you know for a fact that you can't. It's just one of those things you have to get over. You take what you can get and you appreciate it while it's there.
I'm going to end this because I have a feeling that if I don't do that now it's going to go on forever and it's not going to make any sense. I'm going to miss your presence here on mibba for as long as I'm on here... which will more than likely going to be forever. :tehe:.. and its probably going to be a little lonely for a while since you're one of my closer friends on here. I must say that I'm glad that i ran into you online becuase you're one of the coolest people I know. You're very bright and just.. gah. Hally.... if I had joined mibba later I probably never would have met you and would seriously be missing out. For reals.
I'm gonna miss you... even though I'll be IMing you as often as possible.
P.S Sorry this was so long. And kind of ramble-ish
P.S.S am I invited to the wedding??? I'd love to come. :D
mibbian., February 18th, 2009 at 05:53:09am
:cries:
I love you! I'll miss you so freakin' much! But I understand your reasons. One of my best friend left Mibba not too long ago, she misses everyone on here, but it was too much for her at the time. :hugs: I'll add you on msn! :) I know we've barely had the time to talk, but i still love you! XD :hugs again: I agree with bloodsucker;. You have all of our full support!
Moon Vampiress, February 18th, 2009 at 01:02:45am
I don't really know what to say, other than wish you the best in the future and the most clarity in any decisions you make from now on. :’]
It’s really sad to know another great author leaves. But Mibba can be a great place, as it can be, like you said, ‘best procrastinating friend and all’. So if this is what you really need to do, go do it. I’ll be waiting when you come back :)
I’m aware we didn’t get to know each other a lot, but from the few comments, I think you are pretty awesome. As a person and a writer, too. ;] It’s quite sudden to receive such news, I’m not gonna lie. I didn’t see this coming, that’s why it’s so shocking, especially now with all this ‘Frerard Revolution’. I’ll make sure to contribute in anything I can to keep the Cult/Family/Force alive XD
So I’m invited to a wedding?! Yippee!
…Never been in one before. Therefore, this should be exciting.
And what’s that thing about role playing? I don’t even know what that is…
Anyway, you’ve got my full support for what it’s worth, along with all the best luck I can wish you really. <33
xo.K.
bloodsucker;, February 18th, 2009 at 12:12:49am
So I didn't get to know you all that well, but... yeah. This is saddening, but I trust your decision, and I know you wouldn't leave Mibba for nothing. If it's better for your future, then we should all be fine with it. I sometimes feel like Mibba keeps me from doing what I should, so I can relate. It's good to know you won't stop writing, because you're great at that (and don't try and contradict me because way too many people think you're awesome, too).
And (oh, please shoot me, I feel like an idiot) I've never role-played before. I've been wanting to forever, but no one I know knows how to. And can I go to the wedding? I don't properly know you nor Cobweb., but it could be our chance to meet.
All in all, I wasn't expecting this, but we'll all remember you, and not only because you united Frerard writers and formed a family. I could care less if I win or lose ('cause I will lose, anyways), but you're just too incredible for starting it. We'll keep it alive, no matter how hard it gets.
Love and take care. We all hope you can get back on track with your life and live a great future. <3
Revolting., February 17th, 2009 at 10:23:42pm
I'm going to miss you, former twin. So much; I had no idea any of this had happened, so I guess it shows just how little we've been talking to each other lately. =/
Is it sad I'm kind of crying? I thought so. XD But ily, and I'll miss you so much.
<3
Matthew Leone., February 17th, 2009 at 10:18:51pm
This has made me really sad, even though I feel kind of stupid because I don't know you. This surprise prompt challenge is probably the most awesome thing I've ever seen done on mibba, and you deserve an awful lot of credit for that. It's awesome that you're going to get back to school, and I know how hard it is to focus on learning when your mind is on other things, like your stories.
I really think people will keep the Frerard cult going just so you didn't leave in vain!
VampireFriends, February 17th, 2009 at 10:00:33pm
:(
Although I'm saddened by the fact you're leaving Mibba, I'm glad at least that it will mean your future will be better. I'm so sad that Mibba will lose one of the greatest Frerard writers there is, and as we are becoming quite a dwindling number, I will really really miss you. I think I know better than anyone that writing a story when you have no inspiration, or that your life outside Mibba is really hectic, it's seriously hard to knuckle down and squeeze something out of you. It's good news to hear you're getting back into education. :) I wish you luck.
As for the wedding, can I come?! :D It sounds like fun. I know I'm not exactly best friends with you but ya know... my first Mibba wedding and all... :)
We must make this Surprise Prompt Challenge the best one ever!
xo
I C G P, February 17th, 2009 at 08:47:27pm
:'[
I know i've never really spoken to you properly and we weren't close, but i wish you all the best for the future. I understand that mibba sometimes gets in the way of things that are more important and i'm glad that you're getting back into the education system.
Good luck with everything. xox
Skiba, February 17th, 2009 at 07:18:56pm
*sobs uncontrollably* Okay okay, I know I barely knew you, but I know you're a great writer, and a great person too. I can see that just from the Surprise Prompt Challenge so I'm sad I didn't get to talk to you much =[ I hope you have a good future, and you're a great writer so keep going with it :D *adds on MSN or whatever*
