After all that one tries to anticipate, in the end... it is *still* hard to say goodbye.
It's not for forever, though.
I will return- after completing my mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints- in eighteen months (approximately May of 2009). I do hope to see many of you here again. If you decide to switch away from deviantArt, leave me a message somehow with a way of reaching you. Thank you.
My apologies, as well. There were three pictures that I hoped to ink, scan and post (at least, if not also color) for certain individuals who I told I would do this for. I worked my hardest, and then lost access to photoshop in my last week. I'm sorry. It happened the way it did, and I can't go back and change what happened.
Right now, in the past, and in the times to come, I want to say: Thank you! Always. For your comments, your +favs, your friend +watches, your advice and criticism, your friendship and your sincerity. I've treasured knowing you. I appreciate this community so much, and hope that I will not disappoint when I return!
I will come back to you-- I promise!

Now make one last & final wish about that one wish
that you picked.
After reading this, you have 1 hour to send it out to
15 people, and what you wished for will come true
within in one week!
u only get one chance!!!!! Now scroll down and think
of your
crush!!!
Keep going
down
Keep going
Keep
going
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Did you think of your crush? I hope so, that was your
last chance. Now pay very close attention this
important message!
Sorry but once read, must be sent. Yes, this is one of
those kinda chain letters that everyone hates. This
one has been going since 1864 and if you break this
chain, you will pay!!!!!! Remember that after hearing
these stories.
First Example:
Take Barbra Wallace.. She was a pretty lucky girl, up
till she got this same chain letter. She had a crush
on the same kid since kindergarden. when she got this
mail she didn't pay any attention to it. She just
thought, no big deal. And deleted it. The next day her
dad got fired and her mom dies in a car crash. If she
would have sent the letter none of that would have
happened and her mom would be alive.
Second Example:
Try Freddie D. Now Freddie D. was your average nerd.
Had glasses, was short and chubby, was in gifted. All
the signs of
your total dork. He also received this letter and sent
it to 51
people in the hour. Now, like Barbra, he had a crush
on a girl since 3rd grade. The next day after sending
the chain the girl confessed her love for him ever
since 3rd grade. Freddie D. finally had the courage to
ask her out, and of course, she had been waiting to
yes to that for years. They grew up and
married each other to live happily forever.
Third Example:
Now if you couldn't relate to the others, this'll get
ya hooked. Listen to this. A kid named Jordan Johnson
was just getting on AOL to check his mail. He was a
quiet kid, not that popular but not a geek either. he
was just normal. He saw he had mail from his friend.
It was this exact letter. Now Jordan Johnsen was a
smart kid and he knew what could happen if he didnt
pass it on. He simply pulled a few friends from his
buddy list and sent it along. The next day, about that
same time, he got a phone call. It said he had won the
lottery!
then his dad came home and bought him a new bike! His
mom bought him Nintendo64 and play station! His
grandmother sent him a new computer, and his best
friend
gave him tickets to the concert he wanted to go to,
Kid Rock and Limp Bizkit! Then he inherited a
brand-new tv from his aunt! He was goin' wild! the
next day his secret crush asked him out, and they have
been going out ever since.
Now, you heard the stories. I know which person i'd
rather
be, but thats up to you. I wouldn't wanna end up like
Barbra but thats only me. We all want what we cant
have but now's ur chance to go out withthat special
somebody ur waiting for. Take it or leave it. If you
send this to-
1 person- you will lose all luck in ur love life.....
forever!!!!!
10 people- your crush will say they like you as a
friend...... ONLY!!!!!
15 people- your crush will say they like you
20 people- your crush will ask you out!
25 people- your crush will kiss you!!
30 people - Your crush will make out with you
35 people or more- All of the above!!
Don't blow it, it's ur chance to shine! Have
everything u wanted, and more! Now, complaining cus u
dont have any
friends. Well theres an answer 4 everything. It's
simple, just go in a chat room, pick some names and
send away! but here's the catch..... you only have 1
hour

life. its amazing. never give up on the living cuz you'll only be left to suffer more.
No, it's okay... I set up the comments to be closed on that picture because it is my "goodbye" piece, and I knew I'd feel bad if I got back and saw a lot of year-and-a-half old messages saying stuff like, "wait, you're leaving??" Not everybody watches my journal, you see.
But then, I was online a little longer today than I anticipated. ^_^ I'm *so* glad I got to see your message before signing off! I hope you have a great year, take good care of yourself. I want to see you around on devArt when I'm back~ ^^

Oh, and your comic post- not the most recent, but the one before it- has such an amazing, *gorgeous* sunset color and landscape view. ^_^ Makes me sigh just to see it. Really great job there, too.

Flaney's a cold sadistic arrogant brat who has his little moments of compassion- they are so few that they become memorable XD
I'm glad you liked the meme XDD
