There's a story in this character that even the closest person to me in Livejournal doesn't know. This character from the start has always been run by two people. When one of us was slacking the other one kicked in and did something. Or one of us would actually keep up for a while before kicking it over to the other person to take a break. It may be why Ryan has never taken very long breaks in a while. There was a time where we both kept our own separate characters but that didn't work out for too long and I know at least one person knows what I'm talking about right now.
Basically when the school troubles started for the other person, he kicked it over to me and I was glad to take over cause I thought I missed being involved in this world. The truth is, I didn't. What I miss of livejournal is a memory. Old friends,old times, and things that don't exist anymore.I stayed cause I thought I could change things for my character and do him justice but I haven't been doing a very good job and neither has my better half in all honesty. I know this is all rather confusing but it come down to this. I do care who takes over Ryan just cause I've been involved for so long but it's not going to be me or the other person who had a hand in Ryan the whole time. I'm finding someone completely new, to hopefully bring a fresh perspective to the character. Ryan deserves to be interesting, funny, clever, sarcastic and yet completely lovable which I don't think I've ever achieved. I had fun pretending but I was never what I wanted Ryan to be, we were never what I wanted Ryan to be.
I could never delete this journal and though I will give the option to the new Ryan to make a new journal, I hope he will keep this one just so it can hit that two year mark in all honesty. ;)
"Maggie", I love you to pieces, IC and OOC of course. We'll talk soon. Which is all I can seem to say to you right now. ;-*
Have fun with your characters but when the time comes for you to let go don't try and hold on just cause you think you should cause trust me, it only goes downhill from there.
