Now far ahead the Road has gone

Lack of definition is a curse I was born to carry, I am sure. I'm sorry for my absence, although this apology is somewhat belated. Life is pretty hectic right now, with my final year of college weighing down upon me, and the horse needing work, and yet still trying to keep something of a social life. I'm aiming to be in the 95th percentile so as to get into my uni's of choice, so school rather has to take importance right now. On top of this is preparing to move ten thousand miles across the world to the Netherlands for Uni!

So, as well as an apology, this is my indefinite leave of absence. I'll be around here and there, and I'll still facebook and skype you guys on occasion! And I'll do my best to write Meela's death post, because gosh I want too. But just in case I can't get back on much, thank you. Thank you guys for all the times we've shared, all the good old jokes, the fantastic plots and writing, the inspiration and above all the friendship. You've taught me so much, both in my writing and in so many life lessons.

Lulaya, thanks for the site. For board games and Tinychats and the Cam rap! I still sing it before drama performances, you know, and I'm not planning on stopping!

Wolf Tears, Thank you for the Raidans. The first family I ever loved, except my own! Shrol and Yaron taught me so much in terms of character and relationship development, and about how you can always find ways to break the rules! You were a fantastic mentor.

Cam, thanks for the friendship. 3 am drunk skypes and plentiful sexual innuendos! You always made me laugh, and I won't forget that!

South, Kolt will always be my first OTP. You showed me how to be dedicated to a character, and gave me so much confidence by letting Gus into Glee. We had some good thread mang.

Ele, thanks for being a fungirl with me! You are such a fantastically talented writer, and I miss reading your work.

Kay, thank you for being my dawg. Thanks for telling me how much you liked reading my Shrol work, because that gave me so much confidence to carry on. You were always there with a listening ear, and that makes you a pretty damn awesome grandma in my books.

Semper, much the same. Thanks for always encouraging me, it really meant a lot. I can't remember what our nicknames were for each other, and that makes me sad.

Pika, Kia, Rosetta, Windy, Tattle, Thundy, Chelsey, Dars, Claudia, Josh, Meghan and Matt, thank you for many conversations and amazing threads. I miss these times so much!

Sam, thank you for bitching, being a bitch, and letting me be a bitch back to you. We both complained, but my god, didn't we both love it? Thank you for many fun times, and for introducing me to cheese (wonder product!)

Zoë, for being the opposite to Sam, always so sweet and honest, and showing me how important these things are. Also, for reminding me of all things great and Kiwi!

Marina (You will always be Marina to me, I'm so sorry!) for showing me all about the meaning of honesty, and friendship.

Skylar, for being a truly wonderful friend. Many, many wonderful conversations (mostly of me making fun of your accent, sorry!) You're a real inspiration, kiddo.

Cait, for teaching me patience and showing me that in the end, wounds heal but the scars remain.

Chaos, Gxk, Luna, Dee, Shrimp, Tori and Karah for being inspiring to little nooblet me. I miss seeing you guys around.

Cass for being so upbeat, and amazing writer, and so bloody prompt with your replies!

To my dearest Lalia, one of the most talented writers I have ever had the pleasure of reading, and I really do mean that. Thank you for putting faith in me. Your complements filled me with so much security, and inspired me to write more and better. Your writing has always been a true inspiration to me and I plan for it to continue to be so. Thank you so much for some awesome plots and threads, and I'm still upset that drunk you couldn't find the video button on tiny chat. Charlie/Casp is the only thing I'm intending on writing in the next few months, but I am intending on writing it!

And finally, to Clover. For your on-going friendship, because HAHAHA YOU'RE NOT GETTING RID OF ME THIS EASILY BIATCH.

Oh lord, nothing's changed, has it? This is all just word vomit, but it's nice to get some closure. To those that I haven't mentioned, thank you also. It is not individuals that make a society great, but all people working as a community. And to finish, I think this Tolkein quote is rather apt. I am, after all, off on my next adventure.

The Road goes ever on and on
Down from the door where it began.
Now far ahead the Road has gone,
And I must follow, if I can,
Pursuing it with eager feet,
Until it joins some larger way
Where many paths and errands meet.
And whither then? I cannot say
