[Well I suppose most of you saw this coming, and I'll admit this is something hard for me to do.

Yes I know about smanson. And I can't even say that I am handing the role to her because I've hit 6 weeks. But I'm sure she'll be a better Shirley than what I have become to be.

I started playing Shirl almost 2 years ago, actually maybe a little longer than that, and I can honestly say it was great. But now its just not. This is something I have seriously been debating over for the past few months.

I love Shirley to death. Shes my idol and so much more and I really don't think some people understand how much she means to me. In a weird sort of way, roleplaying made me feel a bit closer to her, even though I know I wasn't. I just don't have the same passion that I did to play her like I did when I first started roleplaying. I suppose its because I feel I just don't do her justice anymore.

I've tried so hard to get back into things, get storylines going again, and what not, but I simply don't have the time to anymore. Its also hard to get into playing when 90% of those you really talked to are no longer around.

To those of you I did talk to, you are amazing. I love you all for the simple fact that Iknow at one point you made me smile, and that is something big for me. I thank you for interacting with me and putting up with my in-activeness for the past few months.

To Sheryl, Larry, Chris, Rivers, Gareth, Bree, Craig, those who have already left the RP world, and especially Mr. Chino Moreno, I will seriously miss you all.

If you'd like to talk to me OOC, my info is as follows:
LJ - starlessmurder (I set that up a bit ago and I'll be using it more now.)
GJ - _trinity
AIM - starless murder OR xfailmenow
E-mail - starlessmurder@hotmail.com

I really would love if some of you kept in touch. I'll leave everyone added to the journal in case anyone would like to come back to it and read it.

To smanson, in case you do see this, I'm sure you can do Shirley the justice she deserves.

[[This is to let everyone know that this journal is

FRIENDS ONLY.

If you'd like to be added, please comment here and I will add you back.

This is aslo a roleplaying journal. I am not the real Shirley Manson nor do I have any connection to her or any of the members of Garabge. I am simple a fan who takes part in a game, portraying her.

Yes I do get asked these a lot...

Why do you make Shirley always say shes ugly?
Well if you knew anything about Shirley, you'd know she does not view herself as a beautiful person. She thinks that she is rather ugly actually. But we all know thats not the truth.

Why do you make Shirl so depressed?
Shirley has openly admitted to being depressed pretty much her whole life. Shes put her self in a mental institution twice for having a breakdown. Why do you think Garabge wasn't around for such a long period of time?

Why do you make fun of Shirl's chest size?
She does it herself!!

Don't you know Shirley is married?
Yes to a man named Eddie Farrell. For the purpose of the game I made her single so I could have a storyline. (Actually I heard that Shirl may have gotten a divorce. Who knows)

Why do you suck at playing Shirley?
I play Shirley as I view her. I know I'm not the best as her but I think in role playing you should play your character as you view them. If you think that person is crazy, play them crazy. If you think they are ignorant, make them ignorant. I play her the way I think she is.

If you wish to read my real journal, just ask.]]
