Bye

[Xanaphia]

This is it I'm quitting rping for most sites and only staying on a few. Even then I won't be on like I usually am. I have no idea what I'll do now since rping is my life. -_- But I might come back some day. I don't know when that will be.

You win Umber. I'm just an immature bitch that wants to rp with you on another site and complains when I don't get my way. I admit my faults and when I'm wrong and sure I'm ashamed of being the way I am, but I can't help it. The fact is, I'm just jealous of the life you have and I'll never get. No one cares about me enough to give a damn like I care about others to help me out.

None of my chars are going to be put up for adoption either. I don't like it when others play my own characters---even if I adopted Ocean, whom I never played before.

Goodbye,

Xana

Xana, god damnit. What's there to win? Unless i'm missing something, Umber never wanted to win any battle. I'm sure she wanted to roleplay with you just as much as anybody else.

Now, i'll be blunt. I'm jealous of Umber, because she appears to me as everything that i'm not and not capable of, but i'm not throwing away a good roleplaying career over it because of it. I roleplay for the fun of it, not to prove a point or get mad or jealous over my friends/fellow roleplayers.

We tried helping you, Onyx and I. We tried to give you suggestions and help you out, but you forget THERE'S NOT MUCH YOU CAN DO OVER THE INTERNET, Xana. I can't send you money to get you off your feet out of your home life, I can't force you to look for a job or offer you one since I don't even have one myself. Xana, roleplaying isn't about that.

And let me say you have a damn good life compared to others. Asking something to get your way really isn't terrible. Problems at home are usual. There are people out there that are suffering, say because they have no where else to go and their parents won't let them in. Or their parents are in jail. Better, eh?

I'm sorry to see you go, Xana, and I look forward to your return, but please please PLEASE consider other's feelings before anything else.

I don't want Umber to be in this position, whether you try to make her be that way or not. I won't let you get away with that. Umber has as much right, here, there, or anywhere as she pleases. She has a real life, she maintains it well between everything else. Don't make her feel bad for that.

EVER.

Just to let you know, I admired you and your roleplay skills. I really did.

And with that I bid thee adu.

Wow, Xana, you know, I did try to help, in the way I could. I came up with like a million ideas, several of which you could try, and stayed up til early in the morning trying to help you.

This whole, "No one loves me like they love Umber" crap is just... crap. In the way that anyone on this board would be missed if they disappeared. I haven't seen Streamkit or Streampaw or I forget what name she got to, in months and I wonder where she went. When Giddy wasn't around people noticed, and it isn't like we're all great buddies who get along every second of every day. The simple fact is if someone is there and then they're not, people notice.

But you have to be /around/ for people to notice when you leave. It doesn't mean come back for two weeks after you've been gone for awhile and then leave an expect everyone to notice. You weren't active for quite awhile, at least as far as I saw. I was kind of like, "Yo I wonder where she's got to," but since I obviously didn't know and I have my own life to worry about, I just let it rest in the back of my brain, and then you came back.

So now you're leaving and in a few weeks probably there'll be folks who're like, "I wonder where that Xana person got to," because they haven't been following this. And probably I'll forget all of this occured, notice you've gone, and come hunting for a reason.

So none of this "No one notices me and I'm unloved" business, because it isn't true, and it makes those of us who do notice absences feel a wee bit cast off, like our notice just isn't quite good enough.

See you if you come back, and I wish you all the best, for whatever that's worth to you- you're a great writer and I hope you keep up with it.

I win what Xana? You know that was not my intention and never was. However, I already tried to explain to you several times that I’m not well. I’m even worse right now then I was in the hospital.

I have a full time job. Opening to closing, six days a week, and if I don’t show I’ll be fired. I can’t afford that. I can’t help it by the time I get home I’m so nauseous and in pain that I can barely even see straight let alone post like I normally.

If it’s my fault, I’m sorry. But I didn’t ask to have cancer. I didn’t ask to have to be hospitalized. I didn’t ask for any of this!

I asked you to please hold on and give me some time and I’d get the posts up for you. Yet you went on and on about it, even knowing that, for the years we RP’ed together, the more someone bugs me to post the longer it’ll take for me to post. That’s how I’ve always been.

I gave you suggestions time and time again. I’ve given you advice over so many different things, much of which you’ve thrown out the metaphoric window. What am I supposed to do to help you then? I have my own life too, a life outside of the internet. Am I not allowed to live it or must it be pushed aside for some fantasy?

I wish I could do that. You have no idea how much I envy you at times Xana. You have no responsibilities to deal with. No worries. Where I have to fret over whether we’ll have enough to pay this month’s rent, or the utilities, or the food budget, you have a secure place to stay, not a single bill to pay. You have no idea just how lucky you are!

Okay, this isn't my place to say anything on this situation, not actually knowing of the details. But may I suggest that this is sorted out elsewhere, like on MSN or something? The forum is for in character posting and related discussions, I don't want there to be confrontation of sorts here.

[Hexfrost]

<sub>S'alright Baney. ^^ It's the announcement boards; we're just expressing opinions. No worries, I won't neglect my admin duties. I'll keep an eye in case it gets really bad.


And the reason why people love Umbee so much is because she can give, give, and give. She hates to ever take. You take her for granted, thinking you should have her all to yourself on a quiet little board where she gets all your attention. As she stated, she's sick (Umbee is sick?? D: ) and doesn't feel well. Usually ever, but she still comes on to see us. I think that is very fair of her. In fact, it is BEYOND fair.

-hugglesumbee-

Xana, just think of the life Umber has to go through and be grateful. Honestly, I would give a lot to help Umberz, but that's not an option. So I simply remain to be le faithful friend and hope that she enjoys my company as much as I enjoy hers. Think of that before you go. Mull over it and then maybe return. s'All I have to say.

[unless somebody else posts. ]</sub>

I'm sorry, Baneykins, but I just wanted to put in my say - seeing as I almost never go on MSN, and I don't even have Xana or anyone...'cept Xikiness.

First of all, Ocean is going back up for adoption. That would be my say, not yours. Shell and Crab did indeed have a sister, and she is not going to just disappear.

Second...I try not to get jealous about things. Jealousy can lead to very bad actions...unless it's envy I'm thinking of. But I don't know. Something.

Third, Umbee never wanted to fight with you...I think I at least know Umbeekins a tiny bit, seeing as we've roleplayed together a little bit, and she never wanted to win anything against you.

I, too, am sorry to see you leave, although you may have hassled Umbee-lovelie a bit. You were a good roleplayer, even though I didn't get to have the chance to roleplay with you.

So goodbye, Xana. Cinder and Onyx did give you some very good suggestions, I was there and I watched, but you seemed to just turn them all down.

I will not neglect my administrative duties, either, so if this gets out of hand, NEEEEHHH.

Umbee-bebe does give us so much, and I haven't thanked her for it.

Thank you so, so much, Umber.

And yeah, Xana. Right now, you are being quite immature. Umbee's right, you have no responsibilities to deal with, but then neither do I and I'm GRATEFUL FOR THAT. Umber is sick, has a job, she makes her own money.

Don't make her feel bad for being busy.

So that's it for me.
