11:25 p.m., new year's day, 2010.
i think it's oddly fitting.
one hour before the end of the first day of the new decade, and here i am, finished with my own data transfer and ready to leave this blog which i have loved for so long.
i am really really sorry, melo. for getting mad at you and for not being patient. for all that you've given me, i shouldn't have. i was being a baby. but the fact remains that i've lost content here, and it makes me feel as if this place isn't as reliable as i thought it was. it's run by one person--sara--who works so hard for all of us and is truly amazing in her own right... but at the end of the day, i need stability. i need a place where i can put my thoughts down and not worry that the site will crash or worse--that my entries will be lost. melo has been amazing to me these last seven years. it has held so much of my history, and i couldn't have asked for anything more. but i think--and i've felt for some time now--that i've outgrown this place. i'm not in high school anymore. i'm just one semester away from graduating college and starting a career.
and maybe this change is fitting for the times. a new year. a new decade. and a fresh, new blog for me.
i know i'll always come back here from time to time. if i ever need to say something important or deep, i will definitely FO it. because even now, as i'm sitting on a brand-spanking new blog, i still believe that there really is no other place like melo. but i think i'm ready to move on.
i realize that some people on and off melo come to this blog and read it regularly. and i would really like to apologize again to you, dear reader, for leaving so suddenly like this. thank you so much for coming here and finding me interesting enough to read over the years. it always thrilled me to know you loved reading this blog as much as i loved filling it. if you want to know or are curious as to where i went, just shoot me a message here, and i'll be happy to say.
a thousand cheers to you, melo.
take care, old friend.

I feel the same way, Chris. Melo feels different to me now, and I think it has something to do w/ growing up and finding other outlets & interests. I loved coming here w/ a hot cup of coffee in hand, happily reading your blogs. They always left me in such a good mood. After all, you were the one who shared melo with me so many years ago. Good luck to you & your new blog though : ) I'm looking forward to it!
hey girl!
sorry to hear about all your troubles!
please post your new blog address!
my lovely lady. please dont go. where is your new blog?
I know I will miss you. Your Melo, above all others on here, even Melos of my closest friends, has been a beacon of hope and inspiration. Your posts, no matter how small the subject, always seemed to evoke SOMETHING.... and it was beautiful. Thank you, for everything you have given, and I hope you manage to continue giving no matter where your new path takes you.
You will be missed, and not forgotten. Take care.
Laura.
from what i read, old melo i still chillin next to new melo so nothing is really lost.
have you submitted feedback about losing entries?
don't go. =/
'll really miss reading your posts: your Melo was always a silver lining on my cloudy days <3
Be well :)
She was asking if there was anything wrong and I mentioned that some people lost entries. I used you for example and she went to check and we saw that you "left".
She was saying she can easily get those entries from the old database if need be.
oh, i did say so, dars. i put it on the feedback that my entries were eaten. i thought it would have been rude to complain right on sara's melo, so i didn't. the feedback is where she asked for opinions, and that's where i put it. not everyone's going to like the new melo. i have a right to complain, just as anyone else does. and i don't have to ask permission to leave. what i don't understand is why you had to intervene on my behalf, without asking me if doing that was okay. you really didn't need to.
You know, Sara totally could've gotten your entries back.
All you had to do was tell her some of your entries didn't transfer.
No need for dramatical exits or temper tantrums.
Melo's going through a transition, with millions of data, you can't expect it to come out perfectly from the get-go.
All you needed was some patience and it would've gotten fixed.
Heck, I even told Sara that your entries were deleted, only to have us both realize that you had "left"...
hey. you lady. where did all your entries go? i hope you have a happy new years. i hope you are doing well.
oh and i must say thank you for posting survival poem 17. beautiful.. ive done all of those things, felt all those emotions. and it is always dreams and goals that keep me going. spot on. i love this.
i hope they do too. i'm so saaaaad about giving them up honestly. i have such a sense of guilt over me... to make matters even worse, ken got me another dog for christmas...i guess he wanted me to feel better again, but i just feel so guilty about it.... T___T lol. sigh.
I'm really surprised you didn't jump on the 30 days bandwagon lol. C'mon Chris!!! Everyone else on Melo is doing it!
i will be seeing my cor te reducit this week. ive known him for about nine years too.
hmm, that's probably where i've seen him. looks familiar!
i'm doing fine. still adjusting to the lifestyle back here. things are really different than back home, but it's been fun for the most part. it snowed very lightly yesterday, but it quickly melted. i forgot to take pictures! :( last night it snowed while we went out, so that was cool. heavy snow is not expected till january though. i can't wait because i really want to make a snowman!!!!!! ken has never seen snow before, so it'll be a real treat for him :)
beautiful lady, beautiful post. you always make me regret using all my touches and bangs before coming to your page
hey your welcome! i still don't know..not till monday! it's driving me insane!!!!!!!!!!!!!
thank you, lovely lady. even though the day hurt like hell, i really think it was one of the best. although, i never want to do it again :)
I love everything I read here-- and I read a lot. But I have to say, I love your profile picture most.
