Oh Kess. I'll miss the way you cast the light.

Oh John. You just got Coldplay's "Yellow" stuck in my head. You'll have to cast the light for me, my child.

I wish I was around at the hour you posted this so that I could have persuaded you to stay. It's actually a little bit of a coincidence that you made this decision, because a few days ago I put Eva on hiatus and just yesterday I was through with her. It sure is that season, haha. I adore you, and I'm going to miss you like crazy. I'd like to know who else you are around these parts. :(

I stayed for a while because you had shown up, and you were basically the only one around to talk to for a while. I've just been half-assing it for too long, and I refuse to become one of those once-every-six-weeks people. I'll miss you too. I'll add you over there, and hopefully there won't be a flood of people adding Eva today so you can figure out which one I am.

This is too depressing, you MUST stay.

I have run out of things to say!

This is so wrong, I actually had a premonition about it last night and had to shake myself to see if it was real. You know how much I adore you, how amazing you are? You are one of the most captivating writers I've ever read and I'm sorry you can't find that vision here. You've gone through a lot with this role and you were always class with how you handled yourself. I'm going to go cry now even though I know you're not completely gone but Dan is Dan Kessler!

[dan_kessler]

But obviously it's oh so right if it was coming to your mind in advance. Oh, I'm nowhere as close to amazing as Dan is, and I can't keep going on hiatus or making myself write things that I cringe at. Fresh ground will hopefully keep me going strong. I'll miss this a lot because he was my baby and there was a lot of drama for a while. I tried to be as realistic as possible. Don't cry for me, Argentina.

I never trust my Magic 8 Ball or my intuition when it comes to friends or love. You know you are in your own way, you made Dan the best so you can't be half bad and I know from experience that you're more than terrific. Hey, I keep doing both those things but every time I read one of these goodbye posts I dig myself in a little deeper. If you ever change your mind the Church of Dan will have a tent revival, I have to use this icon once more for good measure even though I will never delete it. I have to cry, this was the worst birthday present ever. You know you're going to have to bother me even more in other places now, I expect double the insanity.

[i really do hope you know how amazing you have been as dan, nobody else is possibly going to compare, you've set such a high standard. i know from other experience how hard it is to pull a character back when they lose their love interest, it's so difficult, and i don't think anyone can blame you for leaving, and if they do, oh well. i adore you oh so much and and will continue adoring you for long after dan kessler, and this is getting horrible and rambly so i will end it now! thank you for all of the wonderful dan entries, and if you unfriend, leave me on!]

[dan_kessler]

[Oh hey, someone throwing in brackets here! Um, no, you know I'm going to deny it no matter what, but meeting him did convince me that I was maybe slightly accurate. If they blame me, they just won't have to know me anymore! That is really not much of a ramble at all, but thank you, you know I will adore you too! I knew I'd ramble with the post, which is why I put it off until the dead of night. You're welcome for the good ones, and I'm sorry for the bad ones. I completely forgot to mention unfriending, but you know I'd leave you on!]

A lot of that is due to Rose fading off into the distance because they were together since just barely a month into my role here. Their romance was a big part of what I wrote and what his personality was, and with that stripped bare, I just don't know how to rebuild because I wouldn't want to erase that.

I've already discussed that with Anais and having seen other people go through it, I can completely understand it. She and I started here on the same day and I don't think I'd be long for this little world if she were ever gone either.

I didn't know you very long but you were still to my eyes one of the best writers here. I'm a terrible commenter and I do regret that. I hope we cross paths again, if you get my meaning. It's always far too sad when the good ones who care about their roles enough to make them the best they can be, are gone, and I hope another deserving personality might get your touch someday. Be well.

I tried to get it straight in my mind and to prepare when I realized she was on the path to six, but once she was there I was dumbstruck anyway. Then another came along, and I felt trapped between a rock and a hard place. All the history's caught up with me, and I'd rather have the good remain good in the past than erase it just to possibly grant myself a new opportunity. At this point, I don't know if it would even change my views of how Dan would be. Plus with the Interpol front being so quiet, I don't even have much work to write about. So many things have accumulated that my mind refuses to leap the barriers.

Thank you. I appreciate that a lot. Our paths will cross, I'm sure, so I'll leave you a screened comment so you'll know where else I am. You already have me added.
