The Time has Come

Unfortunately...this blog is going to be closing down.

Yes, I know, I haven't completed the weird titles (they will be given shout-outs, though), but I will explain more about that at the bottom of this post.

I really, REALLY want to thank you all for giving this blog amazing support and saying such great things about my blog. I also want to give you guys a huge hug for being understanding about this. I didn't want to leave, but my interest in Animal Jam has faded, and since my parents give me limited time on the computer now, I want to use it for drawing purposes, not for Animal Jam. :c

This blog has gone so far, and it's done so well. It was a truly wonderful experience. I could never thank all of you enough for your support.

So, just to clarify, this is what I mean by this blog (and my other blogs related to Animal Jam) closing:
  • I will not be adding more names to the Kindness Movement page. However, that DOES NOT mean that you should ever stop being kind. The Kindness Movement can last forever, for eternity, as long as someone is always kind to others. And, if you check out the page, we have over 50 MEMBERS! That's crazy, and that's a great start! Please continue to be kind, even if this blog is closing. :)
  • I will also not be adding more names to the Other Blogs page. If you want to let other people know about your blog, you can still comment the link on the page for any other passer-bys, but I will not be adding any more blogs to the page. I'm sorry about that. DX
  • I will not be accepting AJ-related commissions. Sadly, if I wanted to do those types of commissions, I would have to switch off between DeviantArt commissions and Animal Jam commissions (and I prefer DeviantArt more). 
  • I will (most likely) not be posting. However, you never know. I might get the sudden urge to post at some random day again, because that's just how I am. My posting is seriously sporadic, and never on-time. So hope for it, but don't expect it. If that makes any sense. XD
I love you all. And although I will not be as active on this blog, I will never forget the 32 supporters I've gathered. That is WAY more people than I ever expected to get! :')

Today, I went online and paid some people a visit:
And yes, I may visit at around once a month or less often. :c

But, if you'd like to stop and chat, please do so and visit me on DeviantArt! If you don't have a DeviantArt, you can still email me at cometcatcher109@gmail.com if you'd still like to talk about anything. If you're having any troubles at all (with life, or just stuff in general), feel free to let me know. I'm always here to help.

Note, by closing this blog I will not literally close it. It will still be viewable by people passing by, and they can still view my posts and see my journey from the beginning of my blog to the end. (Sort of like how RockyTop2 closed her blog.) 

I will not be updating the blog, but people will still be able to see it.

Here are the shout-outs for the wonderful other weird titles:

rainbow000pegasus: Lightning Necklace Slower than a Lightning Flash (XD).
Camp2014: Elephants like to eat pancakes! (They should!)
Anonymous: RHINOS WEARING TAP SHOES AND EATING PANCAKES CUPCAKES CAKES AND MORE THINGS THAT END WITH CAKE AND MACARONI. (This makes me hungry.)
Gamer_girl19799: There's always an eyeball. (Yes, yes there is.)
2fangwolfAJ: -insert hilarious title here- (This was basically a tie with Pink, but I decided to go with Pink's title. This was a close second.)
jzale314: The tie that you would give your dad for his birthday of something and he would never wear. (True dat.)

Also, here is a list of amazing people, though I probably accidentally missed a couple because there's JUST. SO. DARN. MANY. AMAZING. PEOPLE ON HERE:

RockyTop2, the girl who first introduced me to blogging and helped me in my general noobiness at blogging. Thank you.
snowyclaw, my inspiration, and a truly kind person and blogger.
Gamer_girl19799, the girl who was always there for me when I needed someone, and one of the kindest girls I know. <3
CelestialTwinkle, the funniest, sweetest person who I loved talking to "about the weather." I will miss you very much. I hope that I can see you on DeviantArt someday! c:
rainbow000pegasus, pure epicness. Enough said.
NebulaNight, an amazing, witty, and very talented girl. I'm 100% sure that you will go very far in life! And beyond! :)
wolfpaws4330, a sweet, inspirational and kind person who has been a wonderful and supportive friend during my time spent blogging. 
pink200330, a wonderful person and blogger, not to mention hilariously funny. I will miss talking to you, my little carrot friend. :D
nafaria9, a talented blogger with an amazing blog. And just a wonderful friend overall. Thank you so much for being so awesome!
2fangwolf, awesome blog, awesome personality. Your kindness is strong and unwavering. May you always stay that way.
Confection, you're amazing and very intelligent. Though we never really got to say goodbye, thank you for keeping me on your buddy list and staying with me all this time. 
RonentheGamer, an intelligent, far more serious person than I will ever be, but very fun and engaging to talk to. Glad to see that you're on DeviantArt!
numnum13, you are sweet, kind, considerate, and an amazing blogger. Your graphics are amazing. I'm very sad to hear that you decided to quit. May we cross paths some other time. :)
Rainbowcat1, an awesome, great friend. I had lots of fun talking to you. If we ever do meet again, I hope that you never change, and that you will forever be the same kind person you were when I first met you. c:
MythCat2907, hilariously funny, amazing girl. Thank you so much for talking to me and always being a truth-seeking person. Your art has potential, keep up the great work!
cloudclaws, a great blogger and friend. You have a very sweet personality. I hope that someday we meet again!
Cutepups522 AJ, a very sweet and supportive girl. Please continue to be kind and awesome! Thank you so much for commenting such nice things on the blog. :')
amq9, an amazing friend. I still remember how hard I laughed whenever I chatted with you. I'm going to miss you a lot. I hope you come online on DeviantArt more often!
WhenLifeGivesYouLemo, hilarious, awesome person! Hope you can come on to DeviantArt more often, as well. I would love to have more conversations with you.

And, as a parting, for my final, (maybe not final), words:

Always be kind. Always. Love people with your whole heart, and never forget the mistakes you've made and the lessons you've learnt from them. My time, here on Animal Jam, has been a crazy, unforgettable experience. In a couple of years, it will be a time that I will laugh at, but it'll always be a time that I will cherish.

Thank you.
*Hugs everybody reading this*

Goodbye.

Sincerely, with all my heart, con amor,
~EtherealComet

  2. <3 Ethereal, you are one of the greatest friends I've ever met online XD Maybe they're pixels on my screen, but they're pixels filled with fun, happiness, and friendship. :) I'll always cherish those pixels.
    -hugs back-
    This blog has obviously come so far, I can see that when I look at past posts. Ethereal, you will be missed. But that doesn't we can't stop "typing" to each other. When I turn 13, I'll be sure to join DeviantArt. I've already bookmarked your DeviantArt page. :D

    Do you like making things? Or just doing stuff? Creating? There's this one website called DIY, and it's diy.org. I can't exactly explain, but can you please just try it out? You make projects and post them, and other people can comment on it. I've heard amazing singing, seen awesome drawings, and mind blowing things I never even knew existed. Just try it out, please. I'm Eunoia on it. :)

    You are a great friend, Comet. :)

    P.S. I think you should change the title to "The Time Has Come". ;)

    2. I joined the DIY site as EtherealComet, and I love it! It's really fun, but there is so much stuff I want to do! Paper-folding, illustrating, singing, biology, medics, chemistry, bird-activities...I'm going to be quite busy. I followed you, as well. (That sounds pretty stalkerish.) o.o

      You are a great friend, too. I would say more than that, but then I'd eventually use up every single positive word in the dictionary to try to describe you and every one of my Animal Jam friends.

      I can't wait to see you on DeviantArt! :)

      P.S. I changed the title to 'The Time has Come.' Haha. XD

    3. I read your comment and a smile actually appeared on my face. And my smile kept on getting bigger the more I read. :D
      (By the way, that doesn't sound stalkerish at all. Ok, maybe a little. XP)

    2. Hehe ^.^ To be exact, I was nibbling on some (pure and icy cold) vanilla (soya) ice cream stick coated with dark chocolate. Yummy :P The vanilla is the best part!

      Now... *Ahem* *Bows to empty audience seats from high stage*

      I would miss you very much D: It was so much fun talking about the weather, studies, test results, school, appreciation towards stuff, and more. After my membership expires tomorrow, I might start logging in less often too. I no longer see Animal Jam as the fun, exciting game that I used to see it as. I really have to start drawing and writing more often, or pay more attention to my education. I probably won't be joining DeviantArt any sooner, but I'll check on your DeviantArt page frequently! For the moment, I will post my drawings on my blog(Cupcake's blog, since I'm blending my main blog in with Cupcake's.)

      I have a question for you.

      Do you draw digitally, as you have written in this post: "I didn't want to leave, but my interest in Animal Jam has faded, and since my parents give me limited time on the computer now, I want to use it for drawing purposes, not for Animal Jam."? I've always drawn with a pencil and a piece of paper, and so, digital drawing is kind of new to me. Do you draw with something like, a digital-stick-like long pen thing, or do you draw with your mouse? I'm horrible at drawing with my mouse >.< I use my computer to cut out Animal Jam graphics, but not for drawing or sketching. Also, my drawings now are only in shades of black, grey, and white, because I'm too lazy to colour it DX

      Whichever path you pick, I wish you happy days for the rest of your life- wherever it ends up! :D

    3. Now that I look back on my comment, it's really long O.O It's alright if you don't read the entire thing, I won't be able to finish it :0

    4. O.O Huh. Strange. My membership is supposed to expire tomorrow, but it just expired. Very strange indeed. Very very strange. *Strokes beard*

    5. Wow, that ice-cream sounds so good! Can I sneak into your house and steal any leftovers you might have? (XD).

      Yep, I draw digitally. I used to draw with a mouse, but it cramped my hand too much so I kind of just gave up drawing digitally, but then this year I bought a tablet and it made my drawing a heck of a lot easier. It was more fun, too. :)

      I also wish you many happy days in the future, as well! <3

    6. XD Hmm... *Shuffles every single small rectangular box of ice cream off freezer shelves* The kitchen is all yours! *Stuffs ice cream into mouth* Hehehehe...

      Oh, I see... I'm horrible at drawing with my mouse >.< I have a tablet with a drawing programme, but I still prefer the old paper-pencil drawing.

      THE TIME REPORT: It has officially been 26 days since the last time that you have logged in.

      Also, actually... I decided to stay longer on Animal Jam. I 'kind of' abandoned my main blog, Animal Jam Paradise Garden, because nobody was viewing it, but I didn't want to quit my plushie blog. I loved writing the stories on it, and I've just started. I thought that I'll just stay for sometime longer and write as much as I can within this period of time. However, I'm not on Animal Jam as much as before. Most of the time that I used to spend on Animal Jam is now spent on writing(my comic or short stories, but mostly my comic. I have less time for things that I used to have tons of time for now...), sketching, graphic-making, and stuff. Yep :)
