A Week Off... Or maybe more...

[mrkilborn]

Vacation time has arrived again, and we've got a week off (as I mentioned several days ago) before the start of the all important November (*gasp* ALREADY?!) Sweeps period!

I've seriously been considering taking more than a week away from here, for a laundry list of reasons, some of which some people here know. Others that no one knows.



I guess one of the things that I need to look at is am I having fun. I would say the fun has increased somewhat since this year's "Bubble Awards" and all the stuff that surrounded it.

But another thing to consider is am I an effective player? Do I interact with others both here in LJ and on AIM in a natural, casual way, or do people react to something that has nothing to do with ME? Can I "do my thing" without people criticizing?

Something else for me to think about is what I am contributing. Am I helping things or ruining them? Do people want me to leave? Am I causing for others exactly what I am trying to avoid from the people that bother me?

And truthfully, there are reasons for me to go that have nothing at all to do with anything here.

This isn't some "ultimatum" and I'm not doing this to be dramatic. But I want to get feedback. So, I kindly ask for your response...

Got love for ya, Craiggers. Besides, what would I do without my evil twin?

I want you to stay. The reason I chose what I did is because regardless of what others want, this has to be something that you want to do and be a part of.

oops but the point got across i would like it very much if you stayed

I thought of leaving not that long ago but decided against it because when it's all said and done this is still fun for me. I think that is the thing to consider most. I do hope you stay but only if it is fun.

i have come close to leaving several times, but i could never bring myself to do it. i'd really hate to see you go :[

I didn't really like any of those choices. Haha. There wasn't one that said "STAY DAMN IT PARKER LOVES YOU, but it's your choice, Parker's selfish anyway!" but I do think you contribute. I do enjoy our aim sessions. I love how you help me and show me new things and bring so much fun into my life. I know I probably lack on returning that, but I try.. you're just so great at making me happy, it's kind of hard to top that.

I love you being here. I look forward to your updates. I get giddy when you sign on. I wish we could interact more, but I am so happy just getting to say hello to you.

This is truly your choice and yours alone. I know that. I ask you to stay because I love you and I'm selfish, but if you feel it's right to go, then I won't make you feel guilty for doing so. I'm just some silly girl from Mississippi who likes to ravage and flirt with you.. what do I know anyway?

I love you Special K! <3

[I feel like you've done a lot to contribute to this community. I don't understand what this is about or why these things are even being brought up, but I think you've done a lot in your time here and it would be too bad to see OOCness drive you out.]

[[Hard to answer. I wanted to put all 3 in the middle. You know you are important to me. And I think you also know that you do a fantastic job. AND I think you know that I want you to be happy.

Look, I'm almost always around. Talk to me, email me, whatever you need to do. Yell at me for my stock choices, I don't care. BTW, I could really use some stock advice. ;-)

Look, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't still be here. And if I wasn't still here, some lameass would be in here just as Keri's starting to work a whole ton. Three more tv show guest appearances, to add to the 3 that she's already done this month. She's practically doubled her career. Ahem anyhow. I love you man. And you need to do what you need to do. And if you gotta skidaddle...do it. Seriously. But, like, leave me some way to reach you. Cuz...you know I'm gonna wanna reach you when I get famous. And take you out to dinner. :-)
