Look everyone! It's the Flying Spaghetti Monster!
.. No?
Well, alright then, how about this, for a shocker?
Ladies and Gentlemen of the jury, I find the defendant, myself-- Guilty; of all that is "In-Denial".
Why do I say this?
Well, ladies and gents, it's.. Tough for me to say.
It's been a long three years..
Yes, that's right.
And it's totally because leaving boards is cool now, and everyone is doing it!! =D!!--
.. Is what I'd like to say..
In fact, I'd love to say I didn't have to go..
But..
The fact of the matter is, I have recieved a very disturbing bit of news, that now has put me in such a state that.. Well.. I can't do this anymore.. It's time for me to hang up my Roleplaying Coat n' Hat. And, sadly.. I'm.. Oh geeze, I'm breaking up just writing this..
*Sighs*..
Just.. Give me a minute here to recompose myself..
Alright.. I think I'm good..
I.. Man, this is tough.. I love this board, as it's been my original home for a long 3 years now.. And.. Sure, I've had my problems here and there. I know I'm not the most prominent roleplayer.. But I love this board, just the same..
I'm going all out here.. Because, let's face it.. I won't be coming back for a while, if at all..
I've met some amazing people here, some not so amazing, and some people I just want to tear your eyes out with a rake and give you to a wandering hobo for them to skullfuck you. Some of you I love, and hold close to me in my heart, some of you; a deep-seeded hatred that makes me want to find where you live and rip your head off your shoulders, graff it back on, and kill you again..
But just the same, this place is full of something irreplaceable..
Memories.
Some are good, some are bad, but I've had my fair share here.. And it's thanks to you, the community of PHS 259, that I can thank for it.
I've been through laughs.
I've been through heartache.
I've been part of the good times.
I've been so far down in depression that I never thought I'd get back up.
I stood up for my beliefs.
I've been betrayed.
.. Since Grade 10 of my High School career, I've been a part of this XIN community. And even though I wasn't the most avid roleplayer, or the most.. Well, whatever kind of player.. This place has given me quite a lot..
Now.. I know what you're thinking.
"Damn, does this kid have a life?"
No, my fellow hobbists of the roleplaying trade, I didn't for the longest time. Why? Because I sunk so much of my life here, just chilling around to cover up for the sad part that is my home life. My real life. This place, was my outlet, when I had noplace else to go, and nowhere else to turn to.
People who I've met, people who I've talked to.. They know what I've been through these past few years.. Indeed, this was my social home. Because I always ended up coming back here, some way or another.. Because that's where everyone else was.. That's where all my friends were..
My friends, I will miss this place, more than you know..
*Sigh*
Now.. There are a few things I want to say about some of the people that have most impacted me here, and in my life.. If you read something that's offensive to you, or something like that.. Well, that's too bad. That's what I want to say to you, and if you've got something to say, say it to me later. And I know, that some of these people aren't even here anymore, but if someone could just tell them about this.. That would mean a lot.
I have good things to say.
I have bad things to say.
I will say it, because it's the last chance I have to say it for a long while..
Now..
There's so many people.. I don't know where to start..
I guess I'll start slow.. And work my way up..
Jack[/u]
Jackie-boy.. 253 was when we first met, having fun with our Xbox Live buddies. I really miss that, dude. And I wish I had my Xbox Live, to play those games again with you. I miss hanging out with you, popping skulls in Call Of Duty. Laughing about it, later on.. I'd have to say that my most prominent memory between you and me, was when you and I had that long discussion about 650. I was busy playing Ninja Gaiden 2 when you called me up, and I must say.. I needed that, at the time.
Jack.. You have an amazing knack for logic. I'll admit, I'm even surprised at some of the conclusions that you came up with. It made me wish to be smart like you. And at times, I thought I would challenge that, and for the wrong reasons, set us off on tiffs, here and there. So for that, I'd like to apologize. I never meant any harm, it's just me trying to be something I'm not. Because I look at you, and I see a successful young man, who worked hard, to get where he was. And among other things, you're great for a laugh. Sometimes, you're a bit too serious. Loosen up, dude. Have a laugh with me, again? Please? I'm looking forward to that.. Because, let's face it; too much serious business eats us alive. Let's all kick back for a bit, and have a laugh.
I don't care if it's computer humor, Gun Humor, some sort of humor, hell.. It could just be stupid humor, toilet humor.. Whatever.. We need to have a good long laugh next time I see you, yeah?
You're the smart one, think of some jokes for us, eh?
I wanna sit down, and just tell jokes between us both, one day..
And of course, when I get things back on track with myself.. Another game of Call of Duty with Ian and others wouldn't seem so bad at all.. It'd be just like old times..
Corey[/u]
Corey.. I know we never really talked at all. I'm sorry, that we didn't. I suppose it was just on the factor that I didn't really want to bother you, but day after day, I've heard so many good things about you, and I believe them all too. And I have to say, looking at David Blaze, and where he is today-- A recognized, and well respected member. I would say that, despite everything that has gone on.. I've been watching from afar.. I know it sounds a bit creepy, but I watched the years on this board go by.. I've watched several characters evolve, several people come and go, and several things happen to them. And I must say, you're quite the enigma.. Yet, you're a friend, somehow.
Watching carefully, I never expected you to make the staff so fast.. And so well too!.. I have to say, I'm impressed with the way you've handled quite a few things, from the boards I've been on, to the things that I've experienced beforehand from afar, some of it had your influence, some of it didn't. But still, things aren't exactly on a quick schedule for you, ya?
In the future, sometime.. I hope that we can talk at least once. So that way I can get to know you a little.
Corey, you've got a lot riding on your shoulders. Just remember, that everyone's supporting you on the way. That includes me too. You're a good guy, when you can be. I know you can pull off a lot, just make sure to take a break, and relax once in a while. And remember, there are people that care about you. People that want to see you not overwork yourself.. I know. I can relate to that, as I put myself through that.. Still do, even now. But remember, don't put so much upon yourself.. Sometimes, just sit back, take a break, and talk with people, not about roleplay.. But about life. Just.. Take a moment to ask; "So, how was your day?.. Oh yeah? What happened?" Never forget, that you make the best friends that way..
Lloyd[/u]
Lloyd.. My friend.. Since Point Hope.. Hahaha.. It's.. Been a rough couple of years, hasn't it?..
Lloyd.. To me, you were the guy with "Strained Vocal Cords." Hmhmhm.. That.. I miss that. I miss those times. Sure, they were probably the best times that I've seen yet, but.. Those times are gone now. To be honest, I feel bad that I started that entire thing, so please.. Forgive me. For the longest time, I used you as my comedy punching bag, without even considering your feelings. I feel terrible about that.. And yet, Strained Vocal Cords was indeed what brought us together. Ventrilo is still on my desktop to remind me of those times, every now and again, when I stray from the feelings of happiness. And of course, it's good to hear that you're doing well every now and again, over MSN. And over the worst of times, you were there.. Be it as someone who didn't know anything that I was talking about or going through.. Or be it as the guy who was there to make sure that I didn't push myself with worry, or doubt.
You're a sensible man, Lloyd, and I respect you a lot. You've got a knack for just somehow popping in, and being that cute little asian guy. No matter what happens, you're locked in a cage, thrown a fish, or something.. And despite all of that, Makes me smile to see you get so much attention. I'm glad, that you're a happy guy. Because generally, that's what you are sometimes. And be that as my point of view.. That's how I see you. A happy man, Lloyd. I'd like to thank you, for all the things you've helped me through, because God only knows what I would have done if I didn't have a push at some of the points in life.
When.. When I get things sorted out with myself, Lloyd.. I want you to be the first person I have a thread with. I don't know when that will be, or if you'll still be in the game, but at least grant me that much.
Don't worry, it's not like I'm going to die, or anything. I'll be on MSN from now and again, to check up on you.
Kia[/u]
Kia.. I know you're not here anymore, but hey..
You've got a bubbly personality, and I know for the longest time, you were on and off around here. I must say, Mitsuki was quite the character between you and her, you never would have thought that Mitsuki would have come from someone like you!.. And yet, surprises just happen to be anywhere.
It's too bad that I didn't get to know you better, I miss having you around. I'm sure many people miss you too. >_<;;
Arthur[/u]
Arthur.. You're an odd one. But just the same, I like that about you. I'm sure you wouldn't want to have it any other way. I miss our conversations early in the morning, dealing with Warhammer 40k. You provided me with my early morning laughs, as it was a good time to see you as well. I will admit, not once, did you tick me off like you said that you would. I found humor in you, and you made me laugh with our debates upon which race was better, and all around, I think you're a great guy. Despite what anyone else says, I think you're an alright guy.
I hope to join you, sometime, again, and have another discussion.
Robbie[/u]
Robbie.. The girl who wants my sammitches, big time. From Point Hope
Robbie, I must say, you're always good for a laugh, whenever I talk to you. Just the random stuff that you do just makes me laugh, and smile, the days that I'm feeling down. And all you need to do is tell me to make your sammitch, with extra mayo, and that'll crack me right up. We've got our fair share of inside jokes, and after all we've been through, you've come quite a long way from who you were back when I first met you on Point Hope. I still have those amazing paint peices that you did for me, back then, both of them for Rock, and I think that they're some awesome pieces of work! Seriously, Robbie, you've got talent!
Laughs.. Talent.. Robbie, you've got a lot. I'm happy to know someone as happy as you are. I hope things work out for you in the future, and I hope to talk to you when I can.
Justin[/u]
Justin, I know you aren't here anymore either, but..
You're one of the first guy friends I had on the board. I respect you a lot, and we had a lot of good times together. Good laughs, good fun, good everything. We'd even talk about the weirdest things and still have a laugh about it. I miss you, bud. I was disheartened to see you go, and I haven't found the time to talk to you on MSN. You were there for me, just before I blew an emotional tire, and I want to thank you for that. You've been there for me, ever since that kid tried to stab me in front of Tim Horton's and I decked him, a few years back. Even since my first car wreck, you were there to help me laugh it off.. Even if I threw up a few times doing so, because I was so nervous of being charged.
Sure, I must've seemed like a real bitch at times, but trust me, I've manned up a little bit since then. I hope you're doing okay. And if I can, I want to find the opportunity to find out how you are. I feel stupid for all of this, but hey.. Like I said, I considered you an awesome friend. I looked up to you, as well. I hope you're still in the groove, and doing well wherever you go. I hope to contact and touch base with you in the near future..
And don't worry, I still have that montage I made of you going to Wal-Mart. I think it's one of the greatest works since Picasso. =)
Ally[/u]
Ally.. Ally.. Ally!! *Sniff* There's so much I want to say. *Clings* Certainly, I have not once forgotten about you. Especially your artwork, and amongst other things, your grand ability to roleplay so well. But not only that, you did a grand spanking job as a mod, and as an admin, on 42. I commend you on so many things, but most of all, when I think of you, I think of Chihiro. Cause, damn. And I mean DAMN.. =P You did her SO well. It just.. Brings a tear to my eye. *Sniff*
However, Ally, for all the horrible garbage that you went through.. I wish I could just go back, and smack the fuck out of whoever said you did a horrible job. (You know who you are.) Because honestly, when I first joined up, WHO WAS FIRST ON THE WELCOME WAGON?!
You were.
That's right, you.
You did a kick ass job, I don't care who said what, and what garbage evidence there is to back that up. I'll eat them alive, and defend the job you did, because you were excellent.
And again, WHO WAS FIRST ON THE WELCOME WAGON FROM 42?!
Ally, you made me feel comfortable when I first started roleplaying. I'll never forget that. If I could go over and over again to thank you for the amount of fun I had with you, It would be endless. You're one of the people I respect in the highest regard, and for the longest time, I missed you. (Until I found out where you were. I was like; WHAAAAAAAAT?!)
To be honest, I wish it didn't have to come to this, there's so much more fun to be had, but perhaps in the future, if you're still in the game, our paths will cross again. ^^ If you feel the need to check up on me, my MSN is still there, I just won't be on as much. But I'll still be there. <3 Thank you, again, Ally, for the wonderful times. *Endless hugs*
ALL THE OLD SCHOOL MODS[/u]
While I'm on the topic, there's one thing I want to say about the original Mods for my time.
One more time, since I've joined. It was you guys who kept a lot of things in line;
Ally, Alan, Marianne, Mikey.
You all did an AMAZING KICK ASS JOB.
I don't care who says what. If they do, I'll destroy them.
You guys made it fun when I first joined up.
Roger[/u]
Roger.. Big guy.. I want to thank you for giving me your insight for a lot of things. Not to mention, just chatting with me, when nobody else was on. I miss our Gears sessions, and when I get things sorted out, I hope to have another game with you on Xbox Live sometime soon.
I think the most memorable thing about you, is your characters, and your personality. You're certainly someone that a lot of people I know would look up to, and you certainly give up the title The Juggernaut quite well. I know some days, you just shrug off things, but deep down, you're a good guy, Roger. I know you've got a heart, even though you sometimes don't show it. I wish I had an adamant ego such as yours, not caring about what everyone else says.. But that's me.. I hope things go well for you in the future, bud. Don't be afraid to drop me a line.
.. It'd be nice.
Trent[/u]
Trent.. My little protege, and my friend..
Hahaha.. What's to say? I could just say it to your face.. But that'd be silly. So I may as well get it out here.
We're still friends, don't you forget that. I'll still be watching over you, and ready to stab whoever gets in your way, because that's the kind of guy I am. =3 I hope your book and stuff gets going, I've been paying attention to it closely. You've got potential, you just need to refine it a little bit. =) Which, I'm sure will come to you eventually. It all comes natural after all, and I think you've got a damn good way with words.
Not to mention all those laughs we shared.. Especially that time when I went in for surgery. Hahaha..
YOU WANT IT?! IT'S YOURS MY FRIEND! AS LONG AS YOU HAVE ENOUGH RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR--
ALL TRUE WARRIORS STRIVE FOR--
Annnnnyway.
GENTLEMEN! BEHOLD!!
I.. HAVE LOST WEIGHT!!
-- Hey.. Lookin' good, Dr. Weird!
Yes, I know, I did it manually.. WITH THIS!! And before the holidays, I NEED TO LOSE TWENTY MORE POUNDS!! OR I'LL NEVER BE PRETTY!!!
Here's to you, T-Man. It's in your hands now. At least, until I see you again.
Anna[/u]
Anna.. I'm still wearing that bracelet. <3333 I hope to see you on MSN sometime soon.. >_____________<;; IT WILL HAPPEN. I KNOW IT. <3333 Don't be afraid to call me, either.
It was a pleasure, playing with Drea, Anna. Thank you for the priviledge. <3
Although.. I'm still leaning more towards HunterxHiyami. =P *Has fanart he still needs to show you* >_>;;
Sarah[/u]
Sarah.. Dear Sarah..
I hope things go well for you in the future.. I'll be keeping an eye out for you, even though I'm not on as much as I'd like to be. But remember, there are people that care about you. Just keep an eye out for yourself. Try your best to keep your head up, alright? Try not to look so down so often. Bouncing is what you do best. So do it. Only babies cry that much about these things, and I know you better than that. I still have your letter you sent to me. Just keep strong, things will go your way.
Remember, you roleplay well, I've told you that time and time again. And I'll continue to tell you that until it gets drilled into that skull of yours.
After all, I look at Kevala, and I see quite a story. Work on that. Seriously. It's a good story.
Ryan[/u]
Ryan.. Chum.
Watching Gabriel has been no easy ta-- I HATE YOUR GODDAMN GUTS!
XD FUCK.
I CAN'T HOLD IT IN ANYMORE! JESUS CHRIST!! I HATE YOUR GUTS SOOOOOO MUCH! WHY GOD?! WHYYYYYY?! I'LL TELL YOU WHY! BECAUSE CAPS LOCK IS CRUISE CONTROL FOR COOL, MOTHER FUCKERS!!
YEAAAAAAAAAAH!! I DON'T NEED TO STEER! I'M JUST THAT FUCKING GOOD!!
FUCK YOUUUU FOR MAKING GABRIEL SO OVERPOWERED. FUCK YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!
FUCK YOU AND YOUR MASSIVE AMOUNT OF BOARDS!!
FUCK YOU AND YOUR NEED FOR POWER!!
FUCK YOU AND YOUR POWER IN GENERAL!!!
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK! YOU!
*EPIC DYNAMIC DROP KICK TO THE FAIC*
...
=D?!
Alright. I'm good.
=P
Seriously though, Ryan. I have to say, it's been a pleasure. When you first started out, I was sitting right on the bar with you. It's seriously, been a lot of fun hanging out with you. Gabriel, Jaus, and everyone included. And I'm a little glad to see Gabe retire. =P Give the other players a chance, will ya? xDD
Well.. I'm gonna miss that, and you. Gabriel the Power Player Pimp. Heh..
When you take over the world, or when I get my Xbox Live back. Gimme a call.
I want to shoot your face off again, like we used to back in Call of Duty 4. <3
Jiro and Kait[/u]
Jiro, and Kait..
I know things have been a little up and down for you two, but hey, everything will be better soon enough. And don't worry.. I'll still be around. You can bug as much as you want, if you want, you guys. Which, I know will happen. So it's like I haven't even left anyway. xD
Marianne[/u]
Marianne.. My dearest Daughter.
Okay, so you're my "adopted" daughter. xD
I.. Really hope you get this. >_<;;
Marianne.. I've shared much with you, you've helped me through things, I've helped you through things as well.. I think.. And between the pair of us.. Well.. We're quite a pair of misfits, aren't we? xP
But seriously though.. You were there for me, more than anyone else I can think about, when I was going through tough times.. Be it at home.. With my relationship.. My feelings.. My worries.. My inadequacy to everyone else.. My insecurity.. My hopes and dreams.. My heartbreak.. My.. "Attempts".. My time out on the street.. It's.. Been hard indeed. But, I will say, that you and I are like peas in a pod. You've got a great head on your shoulders.. Whenever I got sick, you were the first person I asked, before I even talked to my own doctor! Your artistry is amazing. Period. I still have a folder with all of your works here, right next to Anna's, that she's given me as well. And I will continue to praise, and praise you, because you deserve it.
Your posting abilities, were quite the interesting to read.. Emily was indeed, one of the cutest characters there. If she was real, I would like to meet her-- Only to probably get hit over the head, fly into a wall, fly THROUGH said wall, and into a dumpster where the lid would slam on me.
Emily, was an epic character. Nuff said. Epic Character, played by an epic girl.
Marianne, you are a fine young woman. You're nice, kind, and smart. You'll make Albert a wonderful housewife. <3 I hope my Christmas gift gets to you.. EVENTUALLY!! >_>;; I paid big money for those earrings.
Leon[/u]
Leon..
It's too bad that you jumped around the boards a bit too often. But, such is the roleplayer commandments. Go wherever activity is, right?
Anyway, I wanted to thank you for letting me on your board, despite any trouble I've caused, if any.
Thanks again, and I wish you well in your engagement.
And finally.. You knew it was coming..
Mikey[/u]
Mikey.. Friend.. Comrade.. Where do I even begin?..
It's.. Been a long time. And even though we've only had one thread, with the exception of others. You've certainly earned my respect, sir.
BUT YOU WORK TOO FUCKING HARD!
... *Sigh*..
=)
Mikey.. For the longest time, I've looked up to you. You, to me-- Have always been a rolemodel. Someone I can look up to. And indeed, that's what I did. I aspired to be a great, charismatic-- WORK TOO FUCKING HARD, literate, well known, and well liked-- WORK TOO FUCKING HARD-- Kind of guy, Like Mikey.
*Twitch*
In all seriousness, though.. For the longest time, Mikey, I've watched you, as you balanced your hectic schedule with the management of this board. And for the longest time, I've said to myself; "I like him. I want to have a character just like that. I want to be just like him." For the longest time, you have had my respect since the day I came onto the board, near laughing falling off my chair at the way you played Winklewood.
Mikey, you make me laugh. And that's something I will never forget, besides you, in general. You're a smart, imaginative man. You've got an amazing way with words, and there's so much that you can paint a picture with your words. To read your posts, with-- Be it Jonathan Winters, The Student Dean.. Or even Winklewood.. it's almost.. Surreal. Godly even, with the amount of talent you have. Mikey, you are a great linguist. You have the ability to pull at people's emotions, make them feel. At least, that's what happened with me. You certainly put the Role in RolePlaying, my friend. You are indeed, quite the artist of words.
Your sense of humor is undoubtly one of the best I've seen.
.. And I'm going to miss it all.. All of it.
Every time I use this face;
=D!?
I'll be thinking of you.
Aw.. Geeze..
*Gets tissues*
I'm going to miss you, Mikey..
...
But, more importantly.
I'm going to miss all of you.
I hope to see you all in the near future.. I'm not sure when, or if, I'll be back, but the way things are right now, with my state of affairs.. I just can't do it. I'm sorry..
Remember, I'll be on MSN from time to time.. If you guys ever feel the need to drop me a line, I'll try and get to you when I can..
It's been fun, 259. I hope we cross paths again..
...
*Sniff*
One last time wouldn't hurt..
...
Love you all..
-- SEXUALLY?!

Kyle Travers.
.. No?
Well, alright then, how about this, for a shocker?
Ladies and Gentlemen of the jury, I find the defendant, myself-- Guilty; of all that is "In-Denial".
Why do I say this?
Well, ladies and gents, it's.. Tough for me to say.
It's been a long three years..
Yes, that's right.
And it's totally because leaving boards is cool now, and everyone is doing it!! =D!!--
.. Is what I'd like to say..
In fact, I'd love to say I didn't have to go..
But..
The fact of the matter is, I have recieved a very disturbing bit of news, that now has put me in such a state that.. Well.. I can't do this anymore.. It's time for me to hang up my Roleplaying Coat n' Hat. And, sadly.. I'm.. Oh geeze, I'm breaking up just writing this..
*Sighs*..
Just.. Give me a minute here to recompose myself..
Alright.. I think I'm good..
I.. Man, this is tough.. I love this board, as it's been my original home for a long 3 years now.. And.. Sure, I've had my problems here and there. I know I'm not the most prominent roleplayer.. But I love this board, just the same..
I'm going all out here.. Because, let's face it.. I won't be coming back for a while, if at all..
I've met some amazing people here, some not so amazing, and some people I just want to tear your eyes out with a rake and give you to a wandering hobo for them to skullfuck you. Some of you I love, and hold close to me in my heart, some of you; a deep-seeded hatred that makes me want to find where you live and rip your head off your shoulders, graff it back on, and kill you again..
But just the same, this place is full of something irreplaceable..
Memories.
Some are good, some are bad, but I've had my fair share here.. And it's thanks to you, the community of PHS 259, that I can thank for it.

"Damn, does this kid have a life?"
No, my fellow hobbists of the roleplaying trade, I didn't for the longest time. Why? Because I sunk so much of my life here, just chilling around to cover up for the sad part that is my home life. My real life. This place, was my outlet, when I had noplace else to go, and nowhere else to turn to.
People who I've met, people who I've talked to.. They know what I've been through these past few years.. Indeed, this was my social home. Because I always ended up coming back here, some way or another.. Because that's where everyone else was.. That's where all my friends were..
My friends, I will miss this place, more than you know..
*Sigh*
Now.. There are a few things I want to say about some of the people that have most impacted me here, and in my life.. If you read something that's offensive to you, or something like that.. Well, that's too bad. That's what I want to say to you, and if you've got something to say, say it to me later. And I know, that some of these people aren't even here anymore, but if someone could just tell them about this.. That would mean a lot.
I have good things to say.
I have bad things to say.
I will say it, because it's the last chance I have to say it for a long while..
Now..
There's so many people.. I don't know where to start..
I guess I'll start slow.. And work my way up..
Jack[/u]
Jackie-boy.. 253 was when we first met, having fun with our Xbox Live buddies. I really miss that, dude. And I wish I had my Xbox Live, to play those games again with you. I miss hanging out with you, popping skulls in Call Of Duty. Laughing about it, later on.. I'd have to say that my most prominent memory between you and me, was when you and I had that long discussion about 650. I was busy playing Ninja Gaiden 2 when you called me up, and I must say.. I needed that, at the time.
Jack.. You have an amazing knack for logic. I'll admit, I'm even surprised at some of the conclusions that you came up with. It made me wish to be smart like you. And at times, I thought I would challenge that, and for the wrong reasons, set us off on tiffs, here and there. So for that, I'd like to apologize. I never meant any harm, it's just me trying to be something I'm not. Because I look at you, and I see a successful young man, who worked hard, to get where he was. And among other things, you're great for a laugh. Sometimes, you're a bit too serious. Loosen up, dude. Have a laugh with me, again? Please? I'm looking forward to that.. Because, let's face it; too much serious business eats us alive. Let's all kick back for a bit, and have a laugh.
I don't care if it's computer humor, Gun Humor, some sort of humor, hell.. It could just be stupid humor, toilet humor.. Whatever.. We need to have a good long laugh next time I see you, yeah?
You're the smart one, think of some jokes for us, eh?
I wanna sit down, and just tell jokes between us both, one day..
And of course, when I get things back on track with myself.. Another game of Call of Duty with Ian and others wouldn't seem so bad at all.. It'd be just like old times..
Corey[/u]
Corey.. I know we never really talked at all. I'm sorry, that we didn't. I suppose it was just on the factor that I didn't really want to bother you, but day after day, I've heard so many good things about you, and I believe them all too. And I have to say, looking at David Blaze, and where he is today-- A recognized, and well respected member. I would say that, despite everything that has gone on.. I've been watching from afar.. I know it sounds a bit creepy, but I watched the years on this board go by.. I've watched several characters evolve, several people come and go, and several things happen to them. And I must say, you're quite the enigma.. Yet, you're a friend, somehow.
Watching carefully, I never expected you to make the staff so fast.. And so well too!.. I have to say, I'm impressed with the way you've handled quite a few things, from the boards I've been on, to the things that I've experienced beforehand from afar, some of it had your influence, some of it didn't. But still, things aren't exactly on a quick schedule for you, ya?
In the future, sometime.. I hope that we can talk at least once. So that way I can get to know you a little.
Corey, you've got a lot riding on your shoulders. Just remember, that everyone's supporting you on the way. That includes me too. You're a good guy, when you can be. I know you can pull off a lot, just make sure to take a break, and relax once in a while. And remember, there are people that care about you. People that want to see you not overwork yourself.. I know. I can relate to that, as I put myself through that.. Still do, even now. But remember, don't put so much upon yourself.. Sometimes, just sit back, take a break, and talk with people, not about roleplay.. But about life. Just.. Take a moment to ask; "So, how was your day?.. Oh yeah? What happened?" Never forget, that you make the best friends that way..
Lloyd[/u]
Lloyd.. My friend.. Since Point Hope.. Hahaha.. It's.. Been a rough couple of years, hasn't it?..
Lloyd.. To me, you were the guy with "Strained Vocal Cords." Hmhmhm.. That.. I miss that. I miss those times. Sure, they were probably the best times that I've seen yet, but.. Those times are gone now. To be honest, I feel bad that I started that entire thing, so please.. Forgive me. For the longest time, I used you as my comedy punching bag, without even considering your feelings. I feel terrible about that.. And yet, Strained Vocal Cords was indeed what brought us together. Ventrilo is still on my desktop to remind me of those times, every now and again, when I stray from the feelings of happiness. And of course, it's good to hear that you're doing well every now and again, over MSN. And over the worst of times, you were there.. Be it as someone who didn't know anything that I was talking about or going through.. Or be it as the guy who was there to make sure that I didn't push myself with worry, or doubt.
You're a sensible man, Lloyd, and I respect you a lot. You've got a knack for just somehow popping in, and being that cute little asian guy. No matter what happens, you're locked in a cage, thrown a fish, or something.. And despite all of that, Makes me smile to see you get so much attention. I'm glad, that you're a happy guy. Because generally, that's what you are sometimes. And be that as my point of view.. That's how I see you. A happy man, Lloyd. I'd like to thank you, for all the things you've helped me through, because God only knows what I would have done if I didn't have a push at some of the points in life.
When.. When I get things sorted out with myself, Lloyd.. I want you to be the first person I have a thread with. I don't know when that will be, or if you'll still be in the game, but at least grant me that much.
Don't worry, it's not like I'm going to die, or anything. I'll be on MSN from now and again, to check up on you.
Kia[/u]
Kia.. I know you're not here anymore, but hey..
You've got a bubbly personality, and I know for the longest time, you were on and off around here. I must say, Mitsuki was quite the character between you and her, you never would have thought that Mitsuki would have come from someone like you!.. And yet, surprises just happen to be anywhere.
It's too bad that I didn't get to know you better, I miss having you around. I'm sure many people miss you too. >_<;;
Arthur[/u]
Arthur.. You're an odd one. But just the same, I like that about you. I'm sure you wouldn't want to have it any other way. I miss our conversations early in the morning, dealing with Warhammer 40k. You provided me with my early morning laughs, as it was a good time to see you as well. I will admit, not once, did you tick me off like you said that you would. I found humor in you, and you made me laugh with our debates upon which race was better, and all around, I think you're a great guy. Despite what anyone else says, I think you're an alright guy.
I hope to join you, sometime, again, and have another discussion.
Robbie[/u]
Robbie.. The girl who wants my sammitches, big time. From Point Hope
Robbie, I must say, you're always good for a laugh, whenever I talk to you. Just the random stuff that you do just makes me laugh, and smile, the days that I'm feeling down. And all you need to do is tell me to make your sammitch, with extra mayo, and that'll crack me right up. We've got our fair share of inside jokes, and after all we've been through, you've come quite a long way from who you were back when I first met you on Point Hope. I still have those amazing paint peices that you did for me, back then, both of them for Rock, and I think that they're some awesome pieces of work! Seriously, Robbie, you've got talent!
Laughs.. Talent.. Robbie, you've got a lot. I'm happy to know someone as happy as you are. I hope things work out for you in the future, and I hope to talk to you when I can.
Justin[/u]
Justin, I know you aren't here anymore either, but..
You're one of the first guy friends I had on the board. I respect you a lot, and we had a lot of good times together. Good laughs, good fun, good everything. We'd even talk about the weirdest things and still have a laugh about it. I miss you, bud. I was disheartened to see you go, and I haven't found the time to talk to you on MSN. You were there for me, just before I blew an emotional tire, and I want to thank you for that. You've been there for me, ever since that kid tried to stab me in front of Tim Horton's and I decked him, a few years back. Even since my first car wreck, you were there to help me laugh it off.. Even if I threw up a few times doing so, because I was so nervous of being charged.
Sure, I must've seemed like a real bitch at times, but trust me, I've manned up a little bit since then. I hope you're doing okay. And if I can, I want to find the opportunity to find out how you are. I feel stupid for all of this, but hey.. Like I said, I considered you an awesome friend. I looked up to you, as well. I hope you're still in the groove, and doing well wherever you go. I hope to contact and touch base with you in the near future..
And don't worry, I still have that montage I made of you going to Wal-Mart. I think it's one of the greatest works since Picasso. =)
Ally[/u]
Ally.. Ally.. Ally!! *Sniff* There's so much I want to say. *Clings* Certainly, I have not once forgotten about you. Especially your artwork, and amongst other things, your grand ability to roleplay so well. But not only that, you did a grand spanking job as a mod, and as an admin, on 42. I commend you on so many things, but most of all, when I think of you, I think of Chihiro. Cause, damn. And I mean DAMN.. =P You did her SO well. It just.. Brings a tear to my eye. *Sniff*
However, Ally, for all the horrible garbage that you went through.. I wish I could just go back, and smack the fuck out of whoever said you did a horrible job. (You know who you are.) Because honestly, when I first joined up, WHO WAS FIRST ON THE WELCOME WAGON?!
You were.
That's right, you.
You did a kick ass job, I don't care who said what, and what garbage evidence there is to back that up. I'll eat them alive, and defend the job you did, because you were excellent.
And again, WHO WAS FIRST ON THE WELCOME WAGON FROM 42?!
Ally, you made me feel comfortable when I first started roleplaying. I'll never forget that. If I could go over and over again to thank you for the amount of fun I had with you, It would be endless. You're one of the people I respect in the highest regard, and for the longest time, I missed you. (Until I found out where you were. I was like; WHAAAAAAAAT?!)
To be honest, I wish it didn't have to come to this, there's so much more fun to be had, but perhaps in the future, if you're still in the game, our paths will cross again. ^^ If you feel the need to check up on me, my MSN is still there, I just won't be on as much. But I'll still be there. <3 Thank you, again, Ally, for the wonderful times. *Endless hugs*
ALL THE OLD SCHOOL MODS[/u]
While I'm on the topic, there's one thing I want to say about the original Mods for my time.
One more time, since I've joined. It was you guys who kept a lot of things in line;
Ally, Alan, Marianne, Mikey.
You all did an AMAZING KICK ASS JOB.
I don't care who says what. If they do, I'll destroy them.
You guys made it fun when I first joined up.
Roger[/u]
Roger.. Big guy.. I want to thank you for giving me your insight for a lot of things. Not to mention, just chatting with me, when nobody else was on. I miss our Gears sessions, and when I get things sorted out, I hope to have another game with you on Xbox Live sometime soon.
I think the most memorable thing about you, is your characters, and your personality. You're certainly someone that a lot of people I know would look up to, and you certainly give up the title The Juggernaut quite well. I know some days, you just shrug off things, but deep down, you're a good guy, Roger. I know you've got a heart, even though you sometimes don't show it. I wish I had an adamant ego such as yours, not caring about what everyone else says.. But that's me.. I hope things go well for you in the future, bud. Don't be afraid to drop me a line.
.. It'd be nice.
Trent[/u]
Trent.. My little protege, and my friend..
Hahaha.. What's to say? I could just say it to your face.. But that'd be silly. So I may as well get it out here.
We're still friends, don't you forget that. I'll still be watching over you, and ready to stab whoever gets in your way, because that's the kind of guy I am. =3 I hope your book and stuff gets going, I've been paying attention to it closely. You've got potential, you just need to refine it a little bit. =) Which, I'm sure will come to you eventually. It all comes natural after all, and I think you've got a damn good way with words.
Not to mention all those laughs we shared.. Especially that time when I went in for surgery. Hahaha..
YOU WANT IT?! IT'S YOURS MY FRIEND! AS LONG AS YOU HAVE ENOUGH RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR--
ALL TRUE WARRIORS STRIVE FOR--
Annnnnyway.
GENTLEMEN! BEHOLD!!
I.. HAVE LOST WEIGHT!!
-- Hey.. Lookin' good, Dr. Weird!
Yes, I know, I did it manually.. WITH THIS!! And before the holidays, I NEED TO LOSE TWENTY MORE POUNDS!! OR I'LL NEVER BE PRETTY!!!
Here's to you, T-Man. It's in your hands now. At least, until I see you again.
Anna[/u]
Anna.. I'm still wearing that bracelet. <3333 I hope to see you on MSN sometime soon.. >_____________<;; IT WILL HAPPEN. I KNOW IT. <3333 Don't be afraid to call me, either.
It was a pleasure, playing with Drea, Anna. Thank you for the priviledge. <3
Although.. I'm still leaning more towards HunterxHiyami. =P *Has fanart he still needs to show you* >_>;;
Sarah[/u]
Sarah.. Dear Sarah..
I hope things go well for you in the future.. I'll be keeping an eye out for you, even though I'm not on as much as I'd like to be. But remember, there are people that care about you. Just keep an eye out for yourself. Try your best to keep your head up, alright? Try not to look so down so often. Bouncing is what you do best. So do it. Only babies cry that much about these things, and I know you better than that. I still have your letter you sent to me. Just keep strong, things will go your way.
Remember, you roleplay well, I've told you that time and time again. And I'll continue to tell you that until it gets drilled into that skull of yours.
After all, I look at Kevala, and I see quite a story. Work on that. Seriously. It's a good story.
Ryan[/u]
Ryan.. Chum.
Watching Gabriel has been no easy ta-- I HATE YOUR GODDAMN GUTS!
XD FUCK.
I CAN'T HOLD IT IN ANYMORE! JESUS CHRIST!! I HATE YOUR GUTS SOOOOOO MUCH! WHY GOD?! WHYYYYYY?! I'LL TELL YOU WHY! BECAUSE CAPS LOCK IS CRUISE CONTROL FOR COOL, MOTHER FUCKERS!!
YEAAAAAAAAAAH!! I DON'T NEED TO STEER! I'M JUST THAT FUCKING GOOD!!
FUCK YOUUUU FOR MAKING GABRIEL SO OVERPOWERED. FUCK YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!
FUCK YOU AND YOUR MASSIVE AMOUNT OF BOARDS!!
FUCK YOU AND YOUR NEED FOR POWER!!
FUCK YOU AND YOUR POWER IN GENERAL!!!
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK! YOU!
*EPIC DYNAMIC DROP KICK TO THE FAIC*
...
=D?!
Alright. I'm good.
=P
Seriously though, Ryan. I have to say, it's been a pleasure. When you first started out, I was sitting right on the bar with you. It's seriously, been a lot of fun hanging out with you. Gabriel, Jaus, and everyone included. And I'm a little glad to see Gabe retire. =P Give the other players a chance, will ya? xDD
Well.. I'm gonna miss that, and you. Gabriel the Power Player Pimp. Heh..
When you take over the world, or when I get my Xbox Live back. Gimme a call.
I want to shoot your face off again, like we used to back in Call of Duty 4. <3
Jiro and Kait[/u]
Jiro, and Kait..
I know things have been a little up and down for you two, but hey, everything will be better soon enough. And don't worry.. I'll still be around. You can bug as much as you want, if you want, you guys. Which, I know will happen. So it's like I haven't even left anyway. xD
Marianne[/u]
Marianne.. My dearest Daughter.
Okay, so you're my "adopted" daughter. xD
I.. Really hope you get this. >_<;;
Marianne.. I've shared much with you, you've helped me through things, I've helped you through things as well.. I think.. And between the pair of us.. Well.. We're quite a pair of misfits, aren't we? xP
But seriously though.. You were there for me, more than anyone else I can think about, when I was going through tough times.. Be it at home.. With my relationship.. My feelings.. My worries.. My inadequacy to everyone else.. My insecurity.. My hopes and dreams.. My heartbreak.. My.. "Attempts".. My time out on the street.. It's.. Been hard indeed. But, I will say, that you and I are like peas in a pod. You've got a great head on your shoulders.. Whenever I got sick, you were the first person I asked, before I even talked to my own doctor! Your artistry is amazing. Period. I still have a folder with all of your works here, right next to Anna's, that she's given me as well. And I will continue to praise, and praise you, because you deserve it.
Your posting abilities, were quite the interesting to read.. Emily was indeed, one of the cutest characters there. If she was real, I would like to meet her-- Only to probably get hit over the head, fly into a wall, fly THROUGH said wall, and into a dumpster where the lid would slam on me.
Emily, was an epic character. Nuff said. Epic Character, played by an epic girl.
Marianne, you are a fine young woman. You're nice, kind, and smart. You'll make Albert a wonderful housewife. <3 I hope my Christmas gift gets to you.. EVENTUALLY!! >_>;; I paid big money for those earrings.
Leon[/u]
Leon..
It's too bad that you jumped around the boards a bit too often. But, such is the roleplayer commandments. Go wherever activity is, right?
Anyway, I wanted to thank you for letting me on your board, despite any trouble I've caused, if any.
Thanks again, and I wish you well in your engagement.
And finally.. You knew it was coming..
Mikey[/u]
Mikey.. Friend.. Comrade.. Where do I even begin?..
It's.. Been a long time. And even though we've only had one thread, with the exception of others. You've certainly earned my respect, sir.
BUT YOU WORK TOO FUCKING HARD!
... *Sigh*..
=)
Mikey.. For the longest time, I've looked up to you. You, to me-- Have always been a rolemodel. Someone I can look up to. And indeed, that's what I did. I aspired to be a great, charismatic-- WORK TOO FUCKING HARD, literate, well known, and well liked-- WORK TOO FUCKING HARD-- Kind of guy, Like Mikey.
*Twitch*
In all seriousness, though.. For the longest time, Mikey, I've watched you, as you balanced your hectic schedule with the management of this board. And for the longest time, I've said to myself; "I like him. I want to have a character just like that. I want to be just like him." For the longest time, you have had my respect since the day I came onto the board, near laughing falling off my chair at the way you played Winklewood.
Mikey, you make me laugh. And that's something I will never forget, besides you, in general. You're a smart, imaginative man. You've got an amazing way with words, and there's so much that you can paint a picture with your words. To read your posts, with-- Be it Jonathan Winters, The Student Dean.. Or even Winklewood.. it's almost.. Surreal. Godly even, with the amount of talent you have. Mikey, you are a great linguist. You have the ability to pull at people's emotions, make them feel. At least, that's what happened with me. You certainly put the Role in RolePlaying, my friend. You are indeed, quite the artist of words.
Your sense of humor is undoubtly one of the best I've seen.
.. And I'm going to miss it all.. All of it.
Every time I use this face;
=D!?
I'll be thinking of you.
Aw.. Geeze..
*Gets tissues*
I'm going to miss you, Mikey..
...
But, more importantly.
I'm going to miss all of you.
I hope to see you all in the near future.. I'm not sure when, or if, I'll be back, but the way things are right now, with my state of affairs.. I just can't do it. I'm sorry..
Remember, I'll be on MSN from time to time.. If you guys ever feel the need to drop me a line, I'll try and get to you when I can..
It's been fun, 259. I hope we cross paths again..
...
*Sniff*
One last time wouldn't hurt..
...
Love you all..
-- SEXUALLY?!
=D?!
