I R Kitten, HEAR ME Rewr

Hi, Guys!  

I don't write journals too often. I noticed that I've posted more "private" than "public" journals in the last year. You don't need to be subjected to my innermost thoughts and angry ranting. Really.

Guess what? Friday (and not Saturday as I had thought) was my 2 YEAR BUZZNET ANNIVERSARY!!!! :D

HAPPY BUZZAVERSARY TO ME!!!

I've met so many amazing people here, and there are so many people that I wish that I could get to know better, but I haven't had as much time recently to hang out here. I know that may sound lame, but it's true.

I joined basically to ogle Gerard Way. I lurked the MCR community for months before I finally joined. It was alright, for a while (doo-bee-doo), but then it was just too stressful. Too many arguments and too many trolls.

Fortunately, after about 6 months, I joined the QOTD (something about feminine boys, I believe). And even though at first it seemed a bit like the people there were in their own little group, I loved reading people's opinions, expressing my own, and finding people I could talk to and had stuff in common with.

That's where I found my friend Seb. He's been the person who's kept me here, even when I felt like there was no reason to. He loves Buzznet, too, and that's always kept me coming back. It may sound ridiculous to say this about someone I've never met, but I feel like I have a friend for life! :♥

About a year ago (?), Mark asked me to co-admin the QOTD. I was so happy!!!(I should probably be all cool and pretend that I was all  "Ho, hum, whatev, Mark, sure". Nope. It was an honor that he trusted me.)

But since then, I've been much busier with work, and I've felt like I don't have time to do a lot of the things I used to enjoy doing here: joining groups, doing assignments, or just meeting people and taking time to look through people's galleries. Now I mostly follow the people on my "Favorites" list (who I love, but are just a fraction of the people on BN).

AND catch up on the QOTD forum. Which is fine, and I do voluntarily, and I'm sure some people would prefer I didn't LOL. But I just thought I needed to keep my "home", my little corner of the internet, clean. Yes, I took it very seriously and over-invested myself. Sue me!

For the record, whatever people may think, I never deleted anyone's comments just because I disagreed with them. The few comments I deleted were because they were attacking other users, or beating a dead horse by continuing an argument after it had been settled.

But, anywho...

There are now more mods (Jenn and Lea) who are there and are doing a great job, so I think it's time for me to step aside.

I'M NOT QUITTING THE FORUM, nobody's asked me to leave, Mark has been nothing but supportive, but I'm eager to go back to being a regular user, to be able to express and opinion without people saying I'm "telling them what to think"; or to disagree with people without  being accused of "attacking" or "censoring" them. I can't wait to get back to meeting great new people, looking at people's amazing content, making silly comments and having more time for my own creative pursuits.

Who knows? I might even write a few more journals from time to time. ;)

Buzznet has opened my world up and introduced me to  great people. I love it here and I hope I'll be here for a long time to come.

And lots of more people that might be slipping my mind, and eveyone in the Manics' group, and people that aren't here anymore (Miss you, Rowan!).

Love you guys! :♥ :♥ :♥ :♥ :♥ :♥ :♥ :♥ :♥ :♥ ∞
