Say goodbye to

Chatterbox: Down to Earth

Say goodbye to

Say goodbye to your virtual friend Oregano.

 

It has been decided that I am not to post on the CB anymore.

 

In fact, I'm not even supposed to be posting this, but I have a LOT of unfinished business here, so I just thought I'd clear it up.  Plus I couldn't walk off without telling you guys, leaving you sending out posts screming "WHERE'S OREGANO??!  Come back, we need you to post as Sophia, or Artemis, or Leopardpaw!" and so on.

 

As to RRs: Really the only RR I have anything to do with is mine.  As a favor please post on it and keep it going.

 

As to RPs: I'm on a LOT of RPs.  Please take over my characters, any who can and want to.

 

As to SIs:  I am Marionette.  I can't think of any others that I haven't ben guessed on.  Oh yeah, I'm Seagull.

 

And especially to Elizabeth M, my partner in TAPM - I'm really sorry I can't stay, but I haven't got a choice.  I know Analesia was waiting for a partner.  Maybe she'd like to pair with you, or anyone else for that matter.

 

Happily, I'm only really banned from posting, and I'll try to pop in and read all the posts once in a while.  At some time in the future I may be able to return, but I can't make any promises.

 

This haiku accurately sums up my time on the CB:

 

a wonderful bud

plucked from the cherry tree bough

just as it flowers

 

 

This feels like writing my will, ha ha.  Anyway, just to clarify - I'd stay if I could, but it is sadly necessary that I leave.  I'm sorry to leave.  Have fun here.

*cries and wails in despair* You're leaving?!?!??!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! *sigh* We'll all miss you, and your contributions to the CB were/are very thanked! I'm going to miss you!

And about Marionette... I'm playing a piece for piano called Dance of the Marionettes by Mario Terenghi.

Oh and, by the way, OLL (Office of Letters and Light) is launching something called Camp NaNoWriMo sometimes in the summer, where you can do NaNo any month of the year! (I think) So you won't have to wait for November! Hopefully I'll be able to find you on NaNo. :) 

 

Oh, Oregano, I'm so sorry. We will miss you--you've contributed so much! And thanks for letting us know about Seagull. I was wondering. . . .

 

Take care,

Admin

Well...I'm sorry you've been forced to not post on here (that's what it sounds like).  Maybe someday you'll be back!  That's too bad that you have to leave.  Watch out for those evil pink bunnies.

 

Yes, maybe you can come back for a limited time each week.?

Sorry, that was a bit melodramatic.  Ideally, yes, I could post sometimes, but I don't think I really can.  And yes, that's about it, Amy.  Anyway, at this point it's necessary that I don't post.  (In case you didn't know, the CB is really addicting.)  And for all those who wanted to know the reasons, I'd really rather not say, but I think it has something to do with other people stimulating my imagination, and part of it is that Dad is banning it, and the other part is willful abstention.  Thanks everyone though. :)  Including you, Admin.  I'm really sorry I didn't get to know some of you better, though.

I'm so sorry to hear you're leaving, Oregano!  We're really, really, really going to miss you.  The CB is going to be emptier without your presence.  I really don't want to see you go...  You've been such a great addition to our community, and now you're going!  This is so sad. :(  Well, good luck with everything you do, and hopefully we'll see you again in the future!

Oh my gosh! How can you leave now?! You're such a good addition to this chatterbox!! I'll miss you so much! Are you sure you won't come back?

Oh, no!!! I'm so sorry you can't come on anymore! We'll miss you so much!! Goodbye... I don't really understand this; from what you were saying on the longest thread, you don't generally get to socialize at all, really, and you want to, and now you can't even do it online?! That's... horrible. I'm very sorry.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oregano, please don't leave us! We'll miss you SO much! I love reading your posts here on the Chatterbox, and I will miss them when you leave us here! If your parents don't like you posting on a specific thread, maybe you don't have to post on that thread. Oh, my! I just thought of something! Please don't say that it was me that made you leave! I hope I didn't say something to offend you or something like that. Did I? If so, I am SO sorry! I hope not…anyways, if you must go, I wanted to let you know that I will miss you tremendously, and I will look forward to your posts (if you do decide to post a bit later). We'll all miss you very much!

Your friend, Princess P. (aka "my real name"! :-D)

P.S.  Yes, I am "me" and "guess who" on your Mattie thread. I will try to keep your thread going for your sake, though, it would be hard to keep it going on my own...(hint, hint to all other CBers! :-D)

P.S. again   I hope you do get to do NaNoWriMo someday soon since you put it so often on your location! :-)

P.S. again again   We'll miss you!

P.S. again again again   Oops, I guess that's enough of the "we'll miss you"'s! :-)

P.S. again again again again   And I guess that's enough of the P.S. agains etc. :-)

P.S. again again again again again   Last one! I promise!

P.S. again again again again again again   Or not…Just let me say one more thing!

P.S. again again again again again again again     Come back soon!

P.S. again again again again again again again again   Oops, I forgot to tell you something…

P.S. again again again again again again again again again   Farewell, Oregano! You shall be missed here on the Chatterbox!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I wouldn't know, of course, but I just want you to know that, to me, it seems extremely unlikely that you caused Oregano to leave, so you don't need to worry about it. I can't recall you saying anything rude to her, or her taking offense at anything you said, and there are infinite reasons for Oregano to be leaving, so the chances of it being you are infinitesimal. Please don't blame yourself; not only will it just make you worried and even sadder, it's really illogical.

Okay, thanks, Ima. That makes me feel a bit better now.

Gosh. This really...stinks. Really, really badly. We'll miss you like crazy. I'm really sorry that you have to leave, and CB will really miss you. You're right, CB is kinda addicting ;)
