it's been fun. but highschool is just really, really, REALLY...stressful. I check in every month to see if there's anything important needed from me..but my mails usually empty lol. anyways.. yea I guess what I'm saying is: it's time to say goodbye to the scratch community. i've been part of this community since third grade. third!! that's...hm.. 5+ years!! less than 8 but more than 5. which is a long time lol. i've made MANY friends but most of them are gone as well.. so this is my final goodbye. my final show, I guess. I might check back in next year. or maybe in two years?? it doesn't matter.. goodbye, everybody!! have a good life. UPD (01/17): man hs is fun but VERY stressful (still LOL) i found a class I rlly like... culinary!! its a cooking class :) who knew? I was feeling nostalgic and figured i would check scratch and I ended up looking at my old account (@peytonator_2010) and the discussions (going back 6 years!! when I was just a baby! [not really lol]) I appreciate everyone who helped me through my years, helped me to become who I am today (someone who loves reading and writing), and I'd love to really thank you guys. it's not ideal, just disappearing, but i'm not popular enough to get my thanks through. so, again, thank you all. I wanted to let you all know how my life is going! I have a step mother now (wowzers I never thought it'd happen) and now have two cats + my bird!! my little sister looks up to me, which puts a bit of pressure on me, but it's alright!! I love being the role model my sister needs <3. I'll be able to drive next year!! (my school won't let me drive till i'm in my third year of hs) mannn does time fly by. I swear just yesterday I was eleven, picking out my bird in the store, then holding him for the first time as he crawled around on my hand, looking for milk. it also seems like just last week I said goodbye to my cat; but I know it was really seven years ago. time really does fly by. i'll have to make a new project full of pictures of my adventures in the past eight years i've been on scratch. not just from this website, but irl, too! thank you for taking the time out of your day to read my ramble. have an awesome, fantastic day. au revoir, everybody!
