So Long Barbelith

Hi Everyone in Litherland,

I wish I didn't have to do this, but it seems this is the only way. I do love this place, but almost everyday in the past six months has been torture here. Mostly because of my personal relationship to a couple of other 'lithers. It just is not worth it to me to continue doing this to myself. I have tried to be strong, but now I am just tired. A whole lot of Barbelithers have been very kind and supportive and I would like to thank you all. Unfortunately, this situation cannot be resolved. I am the one who must go because it is so incredibly painful to be here for me. Some may be happy about this, others may not be. Either way, I have lost my best friend AND the love of my life here and I cannot take the pain of it all anymore. Too many lovely memories and yet, too much present day anguish. I think if I leave, it would be better for everyone concerned.

I love this place, despite it all. This has truly been an education. Thanks Barbelith.

Take care everyone...and barbe-huggles to all of you.

I can barely recall life without Barbelith. I wonder what it has in store for me?

With Love,

May Tricks

Farewell, May. Good luck with everything.

19:54 / 25.02.04

Thanks Matthew/Flux

Actually, I do want to give people a chance to see this, but maybe it can be locked up later and then given it's rightful burial under much more entertaining and informative threads.

Moderators?

19:57 / 25.02.04

give it a day or so...
Im sure GingerBob is crying her eyes out that one of her imaginary barbcouples is no more.

19:59 / 25.02.04

fuck, may.
i guess if you have to go, you have to go.
i'll miss your sense of humour and your 'nae bollocks' way with it, though.

good luck, and stay in touch if you can.

20:12 / 25.02.04

Also, how do I have my fictionsuit locked? Can this be done?

20:22 / 25.02.04

My club! Won't somebody think of what this does to my beautiful club?

20:41 / 25.02.04

You will be sorely missed, May. We'll always keep a chair at the table ready and waiting for you, if'n you decide to come back.

21:00 / 25.02.04

Sarah Conner is leaving! But we never met! You'll be back, they always come back... if not... have an excellent life!

21:34 / 25.02.04

Never spoke to you personally May, but am very sad to hear this news nonetheless. All the best.

Very sad to see you go... but if it's for the best, then that's your call. And hey. One day you might come back. Which would be cool.

22:31 / 25.02.04

May,

Sorry to see you go. Erm... not much else to say, really, except that I hope very much that you profit from no longer being here, and that if you return it will be in happiness and comfort.

On locking your suit - the easiest way to do it is probably to change your password to something you don't know (i.e. a random string of characters). Otherwise, Tom should be able to lock it for you.

All the best for now.

22:47 / 25.02.04

All these other posters are dead right, May dear. If you feel you absolutely must go now, and I also wish you wouldn’t, really, then *please* come back at some point. The whole thing about personal relationships is that your feelings change all the time. Hurt goes, with time. I promise you this is true. I know these things.

You’re cared about by a whole load of people here, and we’d miss you. Lots. It so wouldn’t be ‘better for all concerned’ if you leave.

So, huggles because you’re unhappy now. And please come back when you want to. Okay?

22:49 / 25.02.04

And don’t lock the suit, Haus dude! Maybe we can still talk her out of this. Or at least make it a sabbatical, not a permanent goodbye.

22:51 / 25.02.04

Keggers; yes.
It's a shame, as everyone has said, that its turned out that way. You will be sorely missed in lateshift and photos threads alike.
But good luck in everything, for you and your head-bouncing-on-three-year-old. Bye May. x

ONLY NICE THINGS

22:58 / 25.02.04

Bed Head: Oh, I was not suggesting that *I* would do that. I was suggesting that the best way to lock a suit would be to select "Change password" and whack in random type. I would not do that to another person's suit, even assuming I could. Which I can't.

That does mean that the suit could theoretically be revived later. Or May could begin again, once she was rested and revived. Starting from 0 always made me feel a bit fresh...

00:26 / 26.02.04

Sorry man. I wasn’t meaning to accuse you of actually being Grand Executioner. I was just flapping my hands around, hysterical-style, in the hope of whipping up a louder chorus of disapproval.

00:33 / 26.02.04

00:36 / 26.02.04

Oi!

Don't leave, May.

00:38 / 26.02.04

Fuck sake Bio, she wants to leave; you dont need to scare her away.

00:41 / 26.02.04

Oh, please. how can you not love that face?

00:43 / 26.02.04

Could have at least had a shave before he licked me in the face.

03:25 / 26.02.04

So long! Thanks for years of posting goodness! Best of luck!

I'm getting VERY FUCKING SICK OF GOODBYES!

You'd best still talk to me when we can, or I'll drive to Toronto and force you to make me pie until I have to be removed from your house by a forklift!

09:29 / 26.02.04

Bye, dear. I liked having you around even if we never talked much. Hope it helps, like everyone's said.

10:29 / 26.02.04

aawwww, May... um, okay, if you must. But you'll be missed. I hope things get better for you.

Suedey! SHOT FOR MEAT!

11:12 / 26.02.04

I want you back, I want you back
I want you back for goooood

11:38 / 26.02.04

Meep. So long, May.

11:44 / 26.02.04

I can barely recall life without Barbelith. I wonder what it has in store for me?

With Love,

May Tricks

*falls on Barbe-sword*

No, no, no, no, no.

Matter closed.

12:06 / 26.02.04

Big hugs.

Miss you muchly. Already.

Come back, go forward when ready.

14:10 / 26.02.04

I'm not around here often enough to get a sense of what connections might exist among other posters, but I know what it can be like to feel you need to get away. I hope you see this and know that even some people who know you only marginally, like me, have come to think of you as pretty swell and will regret your absence. Best of luck to you.

whothehell@where?

14:21 / 26.02.04

ooh, ooh, i'll leave too if you guys will shower me with attention!

it's become too much... the pain, the horror, the rhoids flair...

i bid you... farewell

*shoves self in toaster oven and sets it to broil*

Cheap. Easy. Cruel.

14:38 / 26.02.04

Best of luck to you May. Sorry to see you go, you will be sorely missed. May the bird of happiness always nest on your petunias, or somesuch mystical mumbo-jumbo.

15:07 / 26.02.04

I think someone who cares very deeply should rush down to the Magick and whip up a little supernatural something to make the 'Lith less torturous and keep May in our lap of loveyness.

I'm afraid if aus started the thread it would be modded back to Conversation within a day. We need someone with Magick cred to do this...

15:27 / 26.02.04

awww..... no more tricks?

I'll miss you...
