I logged in, said farewell to my pixellated persona, and all my pets (including Marmalade, which Emma gave to me on the day they came out), looked at some of the long-departed names on my crafted items, the original Simmy that Atirgen gave me, the gnome I won in a competition here on Stratics (one guy was going to give it to whoever made him laugh the most, I think I sent him a baby picture) and watered my mystic trees for one last time.
Then I ate cake. Lots of it.
Goodbye, old friend. It's been good knowing you for 1,887 days.
I said I'd be here when the ship went down. Today is that day. Man the lifeboats.
For all the friends I've made, and the enemies too ... been good knowing you. Those that want to keep in touch know where I am.
At 07.30am UK time today, the life support machine was switched off (the quit button) and the sim known as ajdown, former resident of Jolly Pines, passed into the digital ether, leaving no remaining family, several pets, a blocked toilet, and four empty plates gathering flies.
