User blog:Lalainee/I'm not gone.... yet

Hi guys! I know I've been gone from this wiki for a long time, but I just want to say a few things before I actually do drop off the face of the wiki for good. First of all, I'm very sorry to all of my friends who I haven't spoken to, and to anyone whose stories I read that I haven't been commenting on. I do feel bad about it and I would hate for anyone to feel like it's personal. Life got in the way of the wiki, as it well for all of us at some point.

I'm going to be a freshman at Amherst College really soon, I'm currently working two jobs, and I'm spending a lot of time with my friends in what I consider my last summer as a 'kid'. I just don't really have time to be an admin anymore, unfortunately. I resent that some people think I haven't exercised my powers as an admin, since I've deleted plenty of obsolete pages, provided input on admin blogs, and tried to moderate arguments whenever I could. But whatever, I've never cared what people think of me on here and I'm not going to start now. I was promoted to admin for a reason, and I'm happy to give that position up to give someone else a chance to have some power.

Since I'm here and therefore still active, I'm going to use my status as an admin to provide my own opinions as to who should be the new wiki bureaucrat and who should be new admins. Though I haven't been commenting or anything like that, I've been checking on the wiki periodically in my absence to make sure things were okay. In doing that, I think I'm fairly qualified to give my piece as to who deserves to be an admin or not. The clear choice for bureacrat is Gideon, so I don't think that requires any further thought.

I'll finish this blog by saying that I cried a little when I read Sprink officially left the wiki. I never got the chance to say goodbye and I didn't tell him how much I was enjoying TDWoW. Hopefully he'll read this and know that I'll miss him, and that I hope things go well for him in the future. :) You guys aren't rid of me quite yet, and I'll be giving my opinion on the new admins thing soon.
