As you all know, we are approaching the end of 2015, and hurtling ever closer to the start of 2016! Meaning that I've been on this site for six months, I think I first signed up in June.
Believe it or not, I am a big believer in formalities (which is why I posted this with my first account, not my main account, even though I normally don't post with this account) and I felt like it was necessary to post this speech, so bear with me, everyone, and please read this! I will try to address everyone. ^^
I know this may sound vaguely like a farewell speech, but please don't take it that way. I intend to stay with you guys for a long time yet! Note that I will not address everyone in order of importance, but just going along with my train of thought, in other words, there is no particular order.
To Sarah and Julia, thank you for comforting me and standing with me when I needed it most, especially about- ahem- certain things, I think you know what I mean. It meant a lot to me that you cared and it was wonderful to be able to talk about these things. I hope it wasn't awkward for you. Julia, I've known you pretty much ever since I've joined and you're awesome, I hope you know that. Sarah, you're a wonderful admin and a wonderful person. Seriously, though, you work yourself too hard, but we all appreciate it. I hope you know.
To Alex, I know we've had a few disagreements these past months, but I don't hold anything against you. You know, sometimes we can all be a bit... difficult. Especially myself. Still, I think you are a brilliant artist- ever thought about looking further into visual arts and becoming a pro? You're very talented. And though we may not always agree, I think we got off on the wrong foot, and we could be great friends. I hope you can forgive me for the times I've argued with you.
To Akachi, even though I've never met you in real life, I regard you as one of my best friends. You are my ultimate best friend out of all my friends on the internet. Hopefully we can meet someday! ^^ (same goes for you, Sarah!)
To Ali, thank you for standing with me and being understanding. I know that time I didn't get the character I wanted, but you stood with me the whole way and tried to find ways to save my character. I really appreciated it, it was very heartwarming and kind. I actually meant it when I said you had the potential to be a good admin.
To Ben, even though I don't know you a lot, I don't think that you're a creep for pretending to be someone else. You're a really nice person, you know that? And you're a hero; fighting a Nazi to save someone being bullied was just awesome of you. You put Batman on edge to save his job ya know? And we all know that Batman is awesome.
To Haye, I know in the past we didn't talk a lot, but lately we've interacted more, and if my lazy-ass app for Rome has offended you, I do apologize. I am a lazy person. It probably irritates you, so I promise I will return to it, and put more effort on future applications. I'm sorry I didn't vote you for admin, you're still a very kind person.
To Larus, I really enjoyed that conversation we had about pets the other day! I feel bad that I couldn't give you a good suggestion about what to do with your birds, but I do hope they'll be less of a pain to you, and they actually sound pretty cool- except when they're being loud or trying to chop your fingers off, of course! I look forward to getting a pet snake when I grow up, thanks for the suggestions and advice! We should stay in contact, if I do get a snake I'll show you a photo, or if I decide to immigrate to America I'll visit you (as well as Sarah, Ben, and Akachi).
To Cheebs, weeeellll, I'm not sure what to say, really, but good luck for the future, and I hope 2016 goes smoothly for you as well as everyone else.
To Drew, I'm still flattered that you found my application for Fem!Purgatory impressive! :3 *bows to sensei*
To Allie, I really missed you during your hiatus. We all did.
To Sea, I remember I poofed on you a couple times without warning, especially that one memorable time I fell asleep in my dad's office. Sorry, bruh! ^^"
To Jus, Arthur, Bruno, Leon, Marc, Aaron, Sofa, Vincent, Jean, and Nadia, well, sorry, I haven't addressed you guys individually but I don't know you guys all that well, and we should talk more in the future. ^^
To all of you, Happy New Year! All of this, I meant it sincerely. I hope you all have an enjoyable year!
And lastly, to Raj, well, wherever you are, I still despise you for deleting everything on this forum (and I'm sure a lot of us do as well) but.... for now, wherever you are, I hope you're sorry for what you did. Happy new year as well.
