*sighs* It's been an adventure, hasn't it? This time we've all spent together... until I had to part ways with it, I never realized how much it's done for me over the past few years.

You guys have each touched me in your own special way, be it reawakening my inner artist or just being there for me when I needed an ear, and for that I will be eternally thankful.

Sadly, however, all things must close, and this may well be my final entry, but I won't end it saying 'goodbye'.

Instead, remember what good times we had, perhaps a funny joke or two... maybe a jab or two. I'll miss everyone dearly, but after today, DA and most of the other sites I visit will be IP blocked.

To answer several questions at once (I'm using my in-between class time at school to do this), for no apparent reason at all, I'm being punished by Dad, who's IP blocking every non-scholastic site I visit on a regular basis, so that means Saoirse Eas, Yahoo, Meebo (a web messenger I use), Gaming Guardians (webcomic), DA, Elfwood, Unicorns of the Vale, etc.

And to those that wonder... no, it's not because of school. I don't know why he's doing it.

I carried a 4.0 last semester, I have set a goal to earn 100 volunteer hours this summer, I'm working full time (despite having asked for part time employment), and am the most productive individual in the house in terms of housework. The only free time I really get is after about 9:30 PM, so I can't exactly go out and party with my friends, as they have curfews too.

Besides, my longest and closest friendships are available to me online. Dad says I'm obsessive about what I do, but who can blame me for obsessing over the 'net when I have friends that I can only talk with through it right now?

*sighs* I'm sick of crying, but that's about all I've done for the past three days... it's hard to just abruptly sever every friendship I have made for the past five years.

Mom thinks this is crazy too. Unfortunately, I live in a divorced household...
