And So It Goes...
Hello again my little shadow cuddlers. I should probably start out by telling you that this will probably be my last post under this blog. That's right, good ol' Reckless Rick is packing it in. Now don't get me wrong, I'm not leaving the blog world...just changing to a new format elsewhere.
This may seem a bit sudden or unusual to some of you, but I'm sure that once I explain everything you will see why I can't stay. And because I want my farewell speech to be reader-friendly I will explain in great detail.
Let's start with the reason I started this blog in the first place...Limerance. For those of you who don't know, Limerance is a form of involuntary love that is dependant on either having those feelings returned or at least the possibility of having them returned. Yes, I started this blog for a woman...plain and simple. Looking back, maybe it was just plain and simply stupid. Oh well...
Let's take a look back on this solemn night. I met this person several years ago, although back then we only had a few passing conversations. It wasn't until a few months before I started this blog that I began to have feelings for her. I wanted so many times to tell her that these emotions were building up, but unfortunately something always prevented it. At first it was a simple matter of her policy of not becoming romantically involved with someone she's never met. Whether she was going on a first date, looking for a new date, having issues in her life, or just preparing for something...it never seemed to be the time. Then one day I took a chance and went to meet her in person, andit was one of the greatest weeks of my life. But apparently not all was bright and shiney...between timing and other factors, she seemed slightly afraid of me the whole time.
So I returned home secure in the knowledge that she regarded me as one of those 80's high school movie friends. Although I could plainly see that there would be no last minute epiphany of love. Then for work I went away for a long period of time and when I returned she seemed so much more distant. Now she doesn't even respond to my IM's even when I know she's been online. You may be asking why I didn't email or call or send snail mail...it's simple I want her to be happy even if I'm not involved. So now I fade quietly out of her life, and she doesn't even notice.
You may be wondering how my job and house relate to this blog and my sad attempt at romance. Simple, There are things about both that bring to mind how ridiculous I've been acting when it comes to certain things. Also, I'm hoping that taking this offer will allow me to see the world in a new light. My new blog will catalog my transition and anything else along the way. There's a link to it on my profile page for anyone who cares.
And so today marks the death of Reckless Rick and his trusty sidekick Translucence...May anyone who remains behind have a wonderful life.

Mebbe she's not getting your IMs. Mebbe she's wondering what happened to her friend. Jou know.
A loss of Reckless Rick would be sad indeed.
