Goodbye,

Recently, everything in my life had been on the downtrend.  I exceeded my
online time for this month, my cd-rom can't read anything anymore, I lost
the money I've been saving to buy some anime tapes, watched Tenchi Muyo!
Mihoshi Special, my flatbed scanner won't work, and worse...
everytime I look over my mail, and all the fanfics I've collected since
July, I've been vomiting.  Yup, I just look at the words and my stomach
starts churning.  I've got to stop.  Sorry.  Even IRCing can't cheer me
up.

So, finally I've decided to call it quits.  Call it premature retirement.

I'll come back, of course.  Right after I take care of a few business.

Anyway, those who knows me, must have noticed my condition when I suddenly
started writing several spamfics under my pseudonym.  I had hoped it would
shake the cobwebs off my system, but not this time I guess.  My mind is
drained, and right now I'm trying to figure out if I'm over anime all
together.  I hope not. But if I don't come back...the worst I guess.

I guess that's it.  Nothing more.  I just hope no one gets angry at me.

See ya in a few......
