   Thanks for the memories, (and the flutes).

   I’m interested in some of your statements:

   Twitter and the fast pace of the aniblogosphere are too much for me right now. I want to be writing, not keeping up with trolling/drama.

   What does it mean to say that the pace of the blogosphere is ‘fast’?

   Does Twitter make it fast? How so?

   I want to see more worthwhile posts from you. Trolling is boring and dry, and while you’re good at it, your more heartfelt posts are so much better….

   @ghostlightning: the blogosphere is fast-paced in the sense that the “material” is passing through the “tubes” at a very quick rate. If I step away from my computer for a day, there are a hundred or so posts on ANO, and that doesn’t even begin to cover tweets or comments. Tweets I get (and only from a small fraction of the ‘sphere) come to maybe 200-300 a day, often with links to more reading material.

   It’s more than a person with a life can process–hence fast-paced. Shit happens quickly. Memes are spawned, abused, and forgotten in the space of a week or even a couple days. Epic aniblogger drama seems epic, but then it’s over in 8 hours and you’re left wondering what the hell just happened. Fast-paced.

   @digitalboy: apparently you’re just another drop in the Anime|Otaku Mike bucket. I’ll show you the true meaning of trolling.

   @Zeroblade: d’awwww, good to hear that from one of my long-time friends in the ‘sphere.

   Well, I haven’t really been following your blog…at all, actually, considering I’m fairly new and most of the references confused me. I’ve seen your comments and tweets and all that, though, so I’d like to see you take a step back and write something. The ‘sphere can be fast indeed, and I’m currently doing my best to keep up with it, but I can definitely see the need to relax an write. At the end of the day, all that matters is that you produce good content. Good luck!

   @ETERNAL: It’s good to see new faces and all that. Sorry for being cryptic and hard to understand. And uh, thank you very much for your well-wishes.

   But who will troll, if not you, lolikit?!

   A void has been left in the ‘sphere, as if a thousand tiny voices cried out and were suddenly silenced

   @Nazarielle: oh, I’ll still troll (did you miss the “Does this mean I’ve become less of an asshole? Fuck no.” ?), just my site layout is trolling Jason Miao less and I’ll be less active in various places throughout the ‘sphere.

   As for taking my place… um, anyone want to apprentice themselves to me? I’d love to retire for good sometime.

    I’d like for lolikit to be more serious! I’ve advocated that a long time ago! :3
