My Red Flag is Flying Upside Down.

[babeinthewoods]

Dear Friends

I have decided that in 7 days I will set this profile to inactive and cheerfully walk away forever.

Why?

Well...yanno...it's like this:

This place just ain't fun anymore.

I've cried real tears over what's gone on here.

I've been inundated with Private Messages that have called me every vile name in the book.

I've been reported for bullying.

I've been reported for plagiarism.

I'm tired, y'all.

I don't and never did use this site to hook up.

I've been called a fake and a phony because I love my mythology of being the tiny, female, kinky Howard Hughes.

I don't and never did use this site for "education".

The only education I got here was on how to feel really, really, really bad about myself.

I have only ever used this site for three things;

1) My ass loves its fanclub. Trufax, the ass adores the compliments.

B) Writing. It's nice to have a captive audience in a place where I don't need to censor any of my thoughts.

and

Mauve) Teh lulz

Well, the lulz are gone. Perhaps the lulz are really the storied cake from the long ago internet rules and really are a lie.

Dunno.

The ass will get used to disappointment. If worse comes to worse, it can put on a kickin' pair of skinny jeans and go out seeking some attention. Either way, life will go on.

The writing, though. I'll have to find an outlet for that...somewhere.

Since I don't write for anyone but me (and yes, I'm aware of the irony. The woman who is constantly K&P only writes for herself), anywhere will be fine.

This place has actually cost me not one but TWO relationships.

One was horrible and the other one was like sitting through a musical theatre production of someone getting a root canal to the collected works of Michael Bolton...but due to Fet, I lost them nonetheless.

In short...it's not the place for me.

I just ain't Norweigan Black Metal enough for this place.

I'm just a gal who can't seem to find her pants...and she doesn't need to take up space.

So...7 days from right now, at 1030 pm AST on Tuesday March 5th, I will go dark.

In the meantime, I will go through my writings and decide what to keep and what to toss.

I'll copy all the crap that I want and be well all the rest.

I'll remove my About Me that's nearing the point of being a work of narcissistic art after copying and saving that, too.

I'll take down all my pictures.

But...and this is the important thing...I will not delete myself.

babeinthewoods was here. I won't give her up so that someone else can snatch her up and pretend to be me...with all the perks and negative consequences that would be attached to it.

My friends, and you know who you are, know where to find me.

I'm still here...in the real world...exactly where you left me.

Those of you who would like to find yourself in the land o' babe...well...lemme know.

It's not as though I have no good memories of here. Nothing good to take with me.

I've outgrown it.

Or it's jumped the shark.

Or I don't want to be here when the hammer falls...and after that video fiasco hot on the heels of the WB worthy drama that is the TOU, I'm certain that the hammer is starting to shake.

To those of you I never speak to again...be well. Know that you were on my friends list for a reason.

You were not taken for granted.

It's closing time. Every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end...

## EDIT

Friends...if you want to stay in contact, please forward me your contact information of choice. I'm on FB, and I'm considering other sites as well. After seeing what happened to that kid here, I'm gone in 72 hours. 1030 pm March 1.
