battles

The main thing stopping me from leaving is that so many people cooler than me have so recently done it that I fear being accused of bandwagon jumping.

I've been a non-entity on the site for ages except for arranging to meet people in real life so who'd notice?

There's no point trying to play it cool, this site and the people I know through it have been, at many important points in recent years, the things that's given me the energy to move past something shitty that was going on.

I have one area of vague resonsibility and it remains interesting and enjoyable enough to keep me here for the time being.

I'm definitely cooking up an exit strategy but I worry that I'll lose the link I have with some of the people who've become my bestest pals. I feel bad for even thinking about this.

...and above one of the doors covered by red velvet drapes in Harry's is a sign and on that sign in letters that match the drapes' colour are the words THIS IS NOT AN EXIT.
