Identity Crisis (or Thanks and Congrats)
Well, here I am. Whoever I am.
To a lot of you, whoever I am is probably a mystery, so I'll explain briefly. I'm someone who used to be at Starmen.Net a while ago, a self-proclaimed poet girl, someone who made a whole lot of friends and a whole lot of, well, not friends, although I like to think the balance is tipped towards the friend side. An EarthBounder.
Who cares? Hmm, now there's a good question. Why am I writing an article? Besides trying to keep Falcon24 from getting bored. Hmm...
No, no, just kidding, I do have a reason for writing this article. It's to say a few things, even though I'm gone... I think the important things are "congratulations!" and just plain ol' "thanks".
Congratulations! For what, you ask? Well... for pulling this place back together, I guess that's how I want to say it. At the time that I left, I daresay the community was in trouble. In my eyes, it was falling apart, and that really hurt to watch. I loved this place, and you know there's a part of me that still does, because no matter what, I always pop up one more time to say hello and post a few things, then fade into the shadows for another six months before reappearing. I made a break, and I think it's going to stay that way, but there's nothing wrong with saying hello now and then, is there?
So hello, everyone. This place is in better shape than I've seen it in a long time. I had my own reasons for leaving, but I take a lot of pride in thinking that I've gotten to know all these talented and interesting people, been a part of something like this. I've met some of my best friends because of this place, learned a lot about society and human nature, worked on my writing... thanks.
Thanks for giving me a chance when no one in the outside world would. Thanks for giving me a little respect, even if sometimes I felt it was too short-lived, and thanks for letting me write, and appreciating it. Thanks for being my friend, thanks for showing me that those ideals of courage, wisdom, and friendship do exist underneath all the distractions and chaos. Thanks to reid and company for turning me into a Five Iron Frenzy junkie. Thanks for letting me be a part of something that I won't ever experience again. It was fun.
Keep it up -- this place is really looking great, like I said earlier. I'm impressed with the way everyone's made an effort to "get back in the game" and how the community's pulled together, particularly the way everyone's rallying around the Mother 3 petition. (Yes, I signed it, don't worry.) The withering dream of this place has blossomed again, and I'm so, so proud of you all. Thanks again... for everything.
P.S. Y'all should be nicer to your n00bs! I was bulma_saturn and you don't know how many times I almost left or quit because no one would acknowledge me or talk to me! Remember, n00bs are people too! (Hahaha, I fooled you all good, didn't I?) Peace out, everyone. :)
