One of the most beautiful of people I've ever had the great pleasure of knowing finally found peace and has gone on to experience what the next life holds for us. My prayers to the family and friends she leaves behind. As per her wishes I ask that everyone take a moment to do the following:

"When I do die I want people to at least for one day to wear something that always made you feel great something that just has happy memories for you, and just spend time with people you love and tell them that you love them.

I don't want people to be sad, I don't want people to send donations or anything like that, the only thing that I ask is that you realise the good things you have and that you just make time even if is just a for an hour to do something that will make you really really happy." - nikilicious05

Now that I've had time to somewhat process the news I wanted to come back and add a few things. Like I said above, Nikki was beautiful both inside and out. She spent a majority of her sickness comforting her friends and family rather than the other way around. When healthy and when sick she has always had a grace that I've never before experienced and I hope to honor her memory by emulating that grace to the people in my life. She was funny, charismatic, loving, a wonderful mother and wife, friend and daughter... I know when someone passes everyone rushes to say how wonderful they were but in this case it is the truth through and through. I am so grateful that I got to share a small bit of the journey that was her life. Thank you to the writers and friends of heart_ov_gold for bringing to life her story and bringing her happiness in her last days. My thanks a hundred times over go to her husband for keeping her friends here in the know so we could express our love to her many times over the last few months.

Many prayers and love to you, Nikki.

If anyone here, for whatever reason, no matter how long we've known each other or how much we've shared, wants to remove me... please, please do it. I would hope by reading through my many, many past entries you'd realize I'm not a mean person or spiteful or vindictive. So, that being said please take this as the time to remove me. I swear on all that is holy, on my honor, or insert something meaningful to you to swear on, that I will NOT even mention it. Kay? If you don't want to be here, don't be here. I have this journal to share the trials, tribulations and joys of my life (and occasionally rant simply because I'm human) not to troll or use this as a platform to make other people miserable. Simple as that.

You have broken my brain for the last time. If you know what this post is talking about, good for you. If you don't, congrats, you're better off that way.

Friends/community cut coming up pretty darn soon. I'm done with this crap. I am not even that active in any communities. So, they're gone. I've got an almost perfect f'list anyway so I don't see myself craving new friends in the future. This is me, closing down shop. I think I'm going to turn into one of those people who says "no more adds so don't even ask."

eta: 22 friend cuts, 3/4ths of the communities I was in: gone... and still debating over another 8 or 9. What's done is done. I'm not here to be collected so those that didn't ever comment are gone. I'm not keeping people on my list as collections so those who haven't posted in a while are gone. If we didn't really click from one of the many mass addings, sorry. I have no energy for any of it anymore. Nothing to see here, move along.

what a cheery 1500th entry

... So obviously I used the rename token but wtf? All of my friends who have posted locked entries are no longer on my f'list, even though they are listed as my friend in my profile.

Can everyone who is able to read this entry comment, even if it is just "here!" for me?

*glares at lj*



Okay, it appears that LJ removed me from everyone's friends list but kept everyone on mine. Looks like I'm going to have to email everyone one by one to get added back?? Who freaking knows. Anyway, *sigh* I guess I'll get around to it eventually. =/

eta 7pm: Contacted everyone except time_ambassador. Her journal only allows friends to comment and I ran out of messages I can send for the day (who knew there was a limit!) and solipsistredo. But I'm sure C will add me back to that when she gets around to it =)

Feeling better-ish. I have recouped 51 of you. Another 49 are still missing. I am worried about how badly it bothers me that my friends are "gone." I know you're all (or most of you) coming back but *twitch flail* eeeeeegh!

I warn you now, move on if you have never played World of Warcraft because not a one will make sense to you.

While waiting in position 450+ to log onto Whisperwind, I was browsing WoW forums when I came across this: http://wow.nav.lv/content.php?article.43

Q. How many alliance does it take to change a lightbulb?
