Obi in London |
July 3rd, 2008
Yeah, I'm leaving. Though, to tell the truth I'll probably be back out of curiosity one day. But for now, Kidpub is moving too fast to keep up with: The new editors, the polls, the lack of stories, lack of real literature and the decline in closeness because the sudden flood of new members. It's nothing personal, but this just isn't the Kidpub I joined half a year ago.
I'd like to say bye to:
Nickie (first person I spoke to on KP)
Maryam (A friend I'll never forget)
Susmi (a suprise when I need one badly)
Marie Lynn (a shining example)
Becca ( A flit of light that went quickly through our hearts)
Olivia. B (my tough but brilliant mentor)
Kirsten (the music in this world)
Robin (More loyal than any)
Smiley (lives up to her chosen nickname)
Fiona (a mysterious pick-me-up who was there when needed and gone when wanted)
Perry ( I wouldn't be typign this with out you)
Tess ( You are New Yorks Angel)
Elias (My little apprentice, who will no doubt surpass me easily at age)
Kavalnain (Artists suffer for their art, poets persevere, Kavalnain is a lesson in herself)
Claudia (Intelligence unnending, I yhink not! But one day you'll come close enough to make us all proud)
Kodomaki ( You make us all look like bumbling monkeys, and we should hate you for it. I mean that ina good way! LOL!)
Maron (Secrecy kills the Secret, sorry)
and to all I forgot to mention

To Obi: KidPub will be
To Obi:
KidPub will be lacking without you. When I saw this post, I scarcely could believe my eyes, and as I read through it, realized with a sinking heart, that you honestly meant it. You tips, nudges and overt statments have helped me more than I can put on paper. I hope, that maybe we can still contact eachother per E-mail? I'll miss you. As a fellow writer, friend and realist. We drifted apart after a while, maybe this will glue our friendship together again.
Farewell Obi. And good luck with your writing.

Bumbling monkeys, eh? You
Bumbling monkeys, eh? You got me laughing there, and only a friend could do that. Well, we're gonna miss you and your stories (I always enjoyed reading yours the most ;)
Anyway, good luck, and hopefully curiosity will get the better of you one day.
Your friend and fellow writer,

I'm not fully detatching
I'm not fully detatching myself from Kidpub, I'm not angry or anything. I'm just taking a long leave of absence to work on my novel i3 which is going to well to be distracted from.
I'd greatly appresciate old friends keeping me company over email. Calla, Nickie, Claudia and all you other guys; my email's on my autobiography...
Calla-- I forgot to put you on there somehow, you may not believe me but you'd be in the top five. The reason I forgot was because you haven't been using your name! Be proud of your name, it's a great one. Good luck with your fantasy writing, Minstrals Woe is coming along very well and the Scales trilogy will prove to be legend one day.
Calla ( a friend beyond even fiction, a companion as perfect as fantasy itself)
Ridiculous as it sounds,
Ridiculous as it sounds, your words made me cry. I know you won't be gone forever, but I'll still sorely miss you. Good luck with i3.
Hehe, my name isn't that good Obi, but thanks anyways.
Since you won't be on, I'll send Scales to you when I need help.

Aw, man! We'll miss you,
Aw, man! We'll miss you, Obi. You were the first person I ever saw on here, ever admired on here, and ever spoke to on here. So bye, I guess. And by the way, you do know that Becca and Oliva were the same people? And that Elias is your age? Okay, sorry. Anyways, I don't know what to say, except that I will miss you, though I guess you hate me or something.
BTW, Jacob Black rules!
Obi: We needed you to make
Obi: We needed you to make kidpub something special. Without you, there is nothing left to look really forward to reading.:)

when you get back on, all your friends (like me) will be gone and little annyoing new people will be on and not us.

Aw, Obi. That's soo sweet.
Aw, Obi. That's soo sweet. Kidpub will seem empty without you. Your story, i3, wihch I like very much, Mckfarm, even you yourself just on Writer's Block or the notes page! Let me say, you will be missed.

Obi- Intelligence unending,
Obi- Intelligence unending, I think not? I suppose I shouldn't have hoped for a generous statement. But this was as close as you could get. Thanks anyway.
I hope to see the rest of i3, maybe by the end of july, as a kipunowrimo! I'll email you...

ClaudiaWhat I meant, in
Claudia
What I meant, in that poorly worded comment; was that even though your the one of the most intelligent writers on Kidpub. Grudgily I admit your even more learned than me. There is still much to learn and nobody can learn it all, but you will be so close to it that you will make everyone proud. All you have to do is stop being close minded! You may feel that as an atheist that you are the most open minded naturally, but frankly this belief is what makes atheist less open minded. For example atheist refuse to believe anything outside the 'proven' boundaries of science, while Christians and Muslims accept religion and science, and Buddhist accept everything. A little bit of a brind-down for a leaving speech, but this'll probably be my last debate on Kp and there's no more intelliegent person I'd have it with than you.
As for Vanessa, that comment warmed me up inside. However, it wasn't true, even though I love to think of myself as one of the most elequaint writers here; there are other some other writers that surpass me and equal me and they're still here, such as Nickie, Marie Lynn, Elly, Doug, Alina, Maryam, Claudia, Calla and of course Becca.
Becca was not the same as Olivia.B she was someone borrowing her account and frankly she was an equal writer with a better disposition.
Zoe, it makes me feel fabulous to know that I was the first person you talked to on KP, I didn't realise that even in the slightest till now. Despite our fights, you've always been one of the greatest rising stars of KidPub.
More learned then me? Ah the
More learned then me? Ah the arrogant one has succumbed to our humble ways.. : ) Truly, no one can learn it all, just others are more curious... One most remember that we are all as smart as one another at birth, right?
That comment meant a lot to me obi.
Of course, I state once again that I am an agnostic, (one who believe that whether there is a god or not is unknowable) but I suppose our beliefs will always be different.
Becca and Olivia B. are the same person, she told us in a post that it was an experiment for school, just showingwhat preconcieved opinions can do to people. Now that's humbling, huh? You were one of them who did like becca more than olivia b. and they were the same person all along!!

When I joined, there were
When I joined, there were like basically NO ONE on here. But now there are millions (it seems) but isn't that good?
More authors, more stories, more friends. But we'll miss you! I'm leaving KP too but for a month. I never read i3 but I can tell its good because a lot of ppl like it. We'll wait for you to be back out of curiosity one day. I think when you come back, there will be even MORE members and kidpub stuff. Come back soon! If you want to, check out the kidpub news, other stuff videos I'm gonna post! Maybe the videos will change your mind!

at the beginning of this
at the beginning of this post, I was hoping I could persuade you not to go, but by the end I realized that you'd go no matter what I did. Thanks always for commenting on NOA and NYA,...I could aslwasy count on u 4 constructive critisism!! You are a sweet and classy friend, and I hope to stay in touch over email (mine is redheadsrule88@gmail.com-- but if I email you, it will probably come up under Avery Brunkt)
good luck, Obi!
If you understood what I just said, you'd be me. -Miles Davis, I think
Oh, Obi... Oh, well. You
Oh, Obi...
Oh, well. You know by now you'll be missed, no less by me. Hm, let me try my hand at poetry;
A breath of frsh air wehen we needed it,
blowing, filled, with talent, with unsurpassed professionalism and a spunky spirit,
But now you are gone; hopefully due back.
LOL. I knnow, ridiculous. I suck at poetry (and writing plays! haha, remember that?)
This is coming out italic; I can;t change it at the moment. But in any case, you get the picture. You will be missed, my friend. :)
But - hey! I promise you, if I ever publish a book, if you ever become a hit author - your e-mail will still be there for me to look you up and schedule a gigantic book tour of the US AND Europe!
The secret to good writing? Just tend to skip WRITING the parts readers tend to skip READING.
