You will probably not be missed. Why? Because you sucked.
Very few good things happened in the year 2009. It was an overall crap-tastic year.
I can only hope that 2010 sucks a little less. Can it really be that hard?
A Little Peace
I got a chance to explain my idea to Abilene. It's not that she didn't like it, she just didn't understand a certain term I used. So, yes, she was stuck on one thing and that's why the entire idea was rejected. Now that I've explained it more, she understands it. Yay :)
Abilene and I hardly ever fought about plots...until Essie joined. She added a lot more than plots when she started writing. Much more drama...
So, Abilene and I are cool. It takes a lot for us to stay mad at each other. After everything we've been through, we can figure out some way of solving whatever problem we have. She just irritates me sometimes. I'm sure it goes both ways.
In the end, we realize we've been best friends for 6 years and we're not ending that over something so small. Best Friends For Life <3

Same Old Problems
I thought that we'd actually learned something from the last fight. Silly me. I don't know why I expected any different from Essie and Abilene...
This one was about the History of Neio...
Some terms that adequately describe various parts of our conversation:
It started turning into a repeat of last time...I even offered to make a problems list. Neither of them seemed to see a problem with that...I sigh at their complete stupidity at that moment...
Abilene has a habit of talking AT someone, instead of actually TO them. Therefore, all of my ideas and comments were, for the most part, ignored. Meanwhile, she continued on her endless spiel of no answers and gaping plot holes. I love her, but she drives me up a wall sometimes. She claims to be listening, but there's no way they can be that confounded by what I'm saying if they really were.
At least they are doing a fair job with consistency. They got hung up on one issue last time, and they're doing the same thing now. Kudos to them for keeping it consistent.
Abilene came up with an idea. I expounded on it, and came up with a decent back story. It tied in her idea with Essie's plot quite nicely...or so I thought. Even though it would work, they don't want to use it. Unwilling to listen or add creativity to our story, the plot remains full of holes. Essie claims it would mess up hers, but everything she said and everything I said would line up. Abilene...good grief...said she created the concept and should be able to decide what happens. Sound familiar? It does to me. Apparently, when I create an entire story I'm expected to go along with everything with little say about it, but if Abilene adds something that existed outside of the story, she gets full say in the matter. I wish I understood that logic...
This is getting to be way too similar to the last time...

Some terms that adequately describe various parts of our conversation:
- Idea Diarrhea= the flooding of ideas (with little relevance to the actual topic)
- Conversation Constipation= trying to talk but unable to get anything out

The Fate of NEIO
Abilene and I were discussing the future of our story...
Somehow make it into one coherent book.
Essie wants several separate books. Yikes! (I've mentally established her as fan fiction anyways...)
This one would be rather difficult. Are we up for the challenge?
An movie series.
We're no George Lucas. It would be kind of hard to shorten everything. It would work better if we had already published books, which would also be difficult.
A television show.
It could be hard to get it picked up by a network, but it could be worth it. We could get the length we need to tell the story, without getting stale like a 6-part movie series might. We already write it like a script.
I'm particularly liking the television show idea. Abilene dreams big and wants the movies based off the books. Without being Lucas or Tolkien, it could be quite difficult to do.
Essie was not apart of this conversation, and for that I give a big smile to Abilene. We are NEIO, she's the Newbie. Everything she does just looks like fan fiction. I don't say that out of spite, but complete honesty. I'll talk more on that later...

It's been awhile...
I haven't posted on here in months due to something that happened that I'm not planning on getting into.
So...
I decided I would officially return to NEIO. Abilene and I talked everything over, and everything between us is resolved. Essie is a different story. I already determined I wasn't getting back into Essie drama. Hang out with her all day for a Harry Potter marathon? Sure. Try to resolve things? No thank you.
Essie is too dramatic to try to resolve anything with. Sure, we have things in common...but I'm not looking to get all "buddy buddy" with her. She doesn't seem to be capable of sensitivity and reason. Only drama it would appear.
Abilene decided to invite me back to the site. Is it stupid of me to join again? No matter...I did it anyways. I'm a Moderator again. Hmm...Another battle approaching? Hopefully not with Abilene. I doubt she and I will fight again soon. Essie on the other hand...Well, I'll just try to have fun with that one.

Falling, Failing, and Freeing
It's been a crazy week...
Here's an overview:
No school on Friday because I went to see my mom become a citizen. Woohoo!
Over the weekend Abilene, Essie, and Nakia all hung out. It paved the way for disaster...
Sunday: Everything fell apart...
Then all that school stuff...
What's that? You'd rather hear about Sunday? Well, good!
All right, you know how I said the way for disaster was paved? It really was! I predicted the super-fight long ago, so it wasn't really a surprise. But it still hurt.
I'll break it down for you:
Part One: THE SITE
So I was editing the "What NEIO Is" page...Normal. But Abi kept going back and changing it. I didn't notice at first, but she had been leaving little notes for why she deleted it. They kind of had Essie written across them...
"Warning: touch this page and prepare to be pluto-ed!"
"because im the admin and it is unwise to change what i do..."
Hmm...
Apparently, I changed it one too many times. I soon received an email saying I'd been "promoted." From Moderator...to Writer...eventually to Registered User...
I also received messages from Abilene on the site. They said ridiculous and vicious things (almost cyber bullyish...and just because we're friends doesn't mean she doesn't have to follow the rules...). Saying I was a hypocrite and I was only doing this because I didn't like Essie. I ended up taking off a whole bunch of stuff I'd put on the site (including things about me), and I left. They put it all back, and then "promoted" the only person that would be so nice as to take it off for me. Oh yah! She made an obvious reference to my Problems list...saying it was her site and such (actually, it's Wetpaint's...). Leading me to my next point...
Part Two: THE STORY
I tried talking it out. Every time we talked about the story I was ignored. And we know what happened with the Problems list...
I tried taking a break. Abilene forced me to be dragged back in via the site.
What's left?
As much as Abilene says she "needs" Essie, I'm starting to just believe her. So what if I've been there forever? According to Abilene, I didn't even really create it! (Her "logic" there was that if she would have never told me to write more then it wouldn't be here. Although somewhat true, she missed a bigger part of that...If I never wrote that first bit, it NEVER would have even EXISTED.) So, I'll let her have Essie. I'm out. If I want to write more, I can do it on my own. I don't need a co-writer. I really never have. I only wrote it because it was a symbol of our friendship. And now...
Part Three: THE SEATING
This whole week I've been sitting at a different table at lunch. It's to show my independence. To show that I'm not a part of them. We've been headed this way for a long time, and I've been wanting to make new (hopefully better) friends. There are so many things about them that I can't take any more. It seems everything happened almost at once (even though it's been building up for awhile...).
