A Chapter of Life Ends

I dunno entirely why I'm writing this, I have no art to give and I haven't ahd a story written in about a month. I guess this is a letter/real life tale to kinda thank the community. If you don't wanna hear another one of my sappy stories (this one is more about the entire community than EnnVee) than I suggest you go elsewhere.

Alright, well without further interruptions, the story.

I began playing City of to deal with my social inadequacies involving my Asperger Syndrome and Bipolar Disorder, that helped for a while, then I met EnnVee last year, and she started to help me with other problems, the chief ones being realizing who I really am, coming to terms with my homosexuality, and finally standing up to my folks to allow me to move out. I have told this story many times to all of you, but this is where it shifts this time.

The day has finally come. As of this Friday I will be living on my own at the University of Colorado Denver campus pursuing an anthropology degree and also an undeclared minor. I may not have as much time as I have had to post and play with you guys, perhaps not at all before long (I doubt the latter). So while I have the time I would like to express my sentiments for this art community.

I first started lurking around these boards last summer, oohing and ahhing at all the pretty art and getting interested in this great community you have created. I started posting and soon became enveloped in all the great new freinds I had made. I also became overwhelmed by your amazing generosity.

When my birthday came around last summer, though you guys hardly knew me, EnnVee relayed my story and how I wanted some art but I had no money. I was blessed by two great art pieces, one by Eddy Swan and one by Foo. To that, though you two may not remember, I will never forget your genrosity to practically a stranger.

I also started meeting a lot of people I considered great people to joke around and have fun with, which lives on to this day in Hero Studios and Rogues Gallery. Bayani, Jophiel, ChristopherRobin, Vexxa, Frost, Swanzy, Pyro, Starwind, and probably the rest of the art forum as well. I have enjoyed yukking it up with all of you guys and thanks for putting up with my shenanigans and in general being great people.

I have enjoyed the company of all you guys and I wanted to say thanks for the great times just in case of the unlikely event that I get too busy to post. I have recieved so many great things from you guys. I know for a fact that your encouragement on my writing has definitely helped my confidence in my ability and I think I'll start to feed my writing side in the hopes I can be as good at writing as you guys are at drawing. That has meant a lot to me.

So in wrapping of this multi-tangent ramble, Thanks for the good times and here's hoping the move will mean good things in my real life, but that I can still continue to see all my great freinds here. I do know I'll probably be not much more than lurking for the next few days. See you guys hopefully in Denver.

Thanks for everything.

Your welcome buddy and the very best of luck to you in this new step in your life

Aside from what I just read, I don't know anything about your personal life or any private trials and tribulations. But you've always seemed like a stand-up guy here and in CoX, friendly and concerned about others. Good luck on the multiple big steps, both school and moving out. Even if you're around less, that's just 'cause you're enriching yourself in other ways. So best wishes and get all smart and learn-ed.

Congratulations on the self realizations you have had over the last year or so. Best of luck in your future!

As for a minor, it sounds like you may have one chosen already and just didn't realize it... Writing...

I agree: I am great.

No, wait, that's not what I was going to say. I was going to say: I am great.


Sonuva...



Here's what I'm sayin': Go forth unto college. Stop playing with us and go plays with some college fellas! You're living your life now, so don't worry about us interwebs. Go get your learn on and become an anthropologist extraordinaire.

Then, remember to thank us when you publish your first book.

There's a time and a place for everything - That time and place is college. Have fun and good luck!

WOW GK! Looks like you are moving forward with your life and onto a much better path! I hope you will take the time to stop and smell the roses along the way. After all, you will only pass through once and you do not want to have any regrets.

Your path to college and living on campus will no doubt introduce you to some pretty kool people, not to mention a beautiful part of the country! Enjoy it there to the "MAX" and step out of your comfort zone. Continue to meet every challenge head on as you have been doing the past year!

I am totally excited for you!! Study hard and visit us when you have a chance. Keep EnnVee posted so she can keep us all informed as well.

Until we see you again, I bid you Adieu!

Awe geez guys I'm touched. However, and I might be partly to blame with the way I phrased my post, you're making it sound like I'm going away for a very long time. If you think you guys are going to be rid of me simply because I moved to a college campus you can forget it. I just might be a little less frequent of a visitor. I'm gonna do my best to stay around here at least a little bit, but don't expect me to log in every night. heck the only reason I'm logged in right now is because everything else, my TV, my keyboard and mouse, has been packed for the move tomorrow and I'm in a somewhat barren room with a laptop connected to Wi-Fi.

Do I have to bust out my craziness on youtube to convince you I'm gonna stay in touch and semi online? Cause I will.

Congratulations GK! May you enjoy to the fullest your new chapter in life, but make sure to stay in control!. Remember you're writing the script now.
