From the Halls of Montezuma...

[Dire Wolf]

Eh. Not good with goodbyes and all that jank, but I guess this is one I owe you guys. Even if the people I write with know and have known for awhile. In June, I swore the oath of enlistment into the United States Marine Corps, and on October 25th I intend to make good on that oath. On the sunday beforehand I leave my family, the only house I've ever known, and the state I've lived in my entire life... and go to MCRD San Diego. I'll be in Boot Camp, and going through what is easily one of the toughest tests a man can pass.

So that means no internet. ; P

I'll be gone for about 6 months, got stuff after boot camp after all. At worst, almost a full year depending on where I get shipped.

I've come to think of quite a few of you as friends, even if hundreds if not thousands of miles separate us. Squee, Dutch (T_T), Meira, Jace, Rugs, Tal, Apillis, Hax, Twys, Silas, and yes... even Jenno. Burn in hell you limey bastard, you stole my heart. Thank you all for that, and aiding me in my goal to become a better writer. I'll keep contact with all of the folks that want me to keep in contact with 'em. Just drop me an e-mail address (or whatever) and I'll do what I can, when I can.

<3 you all. No homo.

~ Jake

P.S.

For you, Apillis...

Anyway, sucks to see another of the greats vanishing for a long period of time. Still, gotta do what you gotta do. Good luck mate.

Jazen: Does this mean the crazy Sith lady won't be making any more jabs at me for a year?

No, she'll just do it into your mind from afar.

Jazen: Goddammit.

[Apillis]

Take care, Jake!

And as a reminder since you seem to have forgotten...

And no matter what you do...

[Talau the Ever-Lurking]

i suppose this means i'll need to give you my *GASP* mailing address! Since you won't have a phone either ^_~ Then I'll REALLY have to worry about you coming and finding me when you're out of pris---I mean....boot camp >_> yeah...boot camp....

[Wayra]

Good luck, Dire. Can't say I got to know you well, but I hope you do well in the Marines.

Wish I could say more. Anyways, see you in about a year.

[Sporky]

Mwahahaha! Now I can make MOAR tech! >:3 Arheim beware.


Dire, I'ma miss you. Who else will berate me for making so much tech? Or rageface at my Power Ran-- Mando? DD:




...As a matter of fact, if you ever find yourself feeling down and without inspiration or motivation to shoot some guiz...just think of the Power Ranger Mando. c:

[Mara]

I wish you luck and prayers in the coming year or so in all that you do.

[kozeph]

I shall hope for your eventual return
