As I said before, I would be leaving LiveJournal in the New Year. Today is the New Year. But, I'm gonna give you all 5 days here to comment, starting today. But on the 5th January, I will officially leave this place.
Don't cry for me. I don't think of this as the end for me, but rather another chapter of my life; a second adventure.
As I already explained, it just became pointless here when there wasn't much LJ friends commenting on my posts. I felt that fewer LJ friends were using LiveJournal as the years went by, because of tumblr. And I felt I was just wasting my time. I just wanna move on and have a fresh start - concentrate more on my writing; both stories and fan letters.
While back, after I declared by departure of LiveJournal, I found this poem online by Alfred Lord Tennyson called Ulysses. Here is the shorter version;
"It may be that the gulfs will wash us down;
It may be we shall touch the Happy Isles,
And though we are not now that strength which in old days
Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will;
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield."
I’ve been thinking about that poem a lot lately. And I think what it says is that, while it’s tempting to play it safe, the more we’re willing to risk, the more alive we are. In the end, what we regret most are the chances we never took. And I hope that explains, at least a little, this journey on which I am about to embark. I have loved every minute with all of you, my LJ family. For 3 years you've all commented on my posts with so much positive feedback. For that, I am grateful.
There is also a phrase from an iconic character, one I think you all know; Spock. From his words, and added with a little touch of my own, his phrase is;
"You have been, and always will, my [LJ]friend(s).
Live long, and prosper."
Now, I'm not going to show you the YouTube clip of him saying that because; A)It's much too said. B)I don't want you to assume that I'm dying or something, just leaving and
the_muppet will mention me here time to time. C)I was going to show only one YouTube video, and it should be better.
I would like to say goodbye to you, my LJ friends:

And if any of you go through a monster phase, or want to know about monsters, simply type in the search engine for tags like Monsters, Encyclopedia and/or Hunter. Or if you know someone in the film industry in need of some inspiration to make a movie, then type in the search engine for tags like Films, Movies, Actors and/or Actresses, see if that helps. Or if you just want to read good story, and liked my stories, then just type in Stories on the search engine and you'll see stories from my Halloween stories to a Guy Richie fanfic to even my story that I never had published but posted(one chaoter each) here instead; Battle for Li Chien instead.
I really did enjoyed posting awesome entries, and even more so hearing your opinions on them. I will miss you all very much, and I wish each of you a great year to come.
Goodbye, and Godspeed.
And ladies and gentlemen, Billy Boyd performing The Last Goodbye;
