It's like learning a dying family member is about to pass away, and trying only to remember the good times. I actually tried to write this on OD, but predictably, the site timed out. So, much like my maternal grandfather, I never got to say goodbye.

I still remember my first year on OD, circa late 2001, when Emily and I would noteflirt on other people's diaries just to piss them off. I remember before I realized I wasn't writing about myself at all, like a mental block. I remember so many people that I've met on OD, a sentiment shared by many. I remember the Dan who inspired BIGGAYDAN, who turned out to be just someone making shit up for attention. The irony.

OD probably saved me from myself. It gave me a sandbox to play in.

I will miss the ease of finding old entries. But perhaps it is for the best to leave the past in the past. I will always write. But I will always treasure what that site did for me. Good bye, old friend.

You picturing immature people flinging poop at each other?

Really, most of the same people have jumped to this site. We can still have the same sense of community we once had. Its a bit sentimental but I'm kinda looking forward to seeing what direction PB will go with someone actually caring.

Now if only I could get back to reading people, and seeking out new people to read. It used to be a pasttime.
