I'm leaving, if this post being put in the "Leaves" forum didn't tip you off. Please know that I didn't make this decision lightly; this has been on my mind for months with me going back and forth until eventually I just kept moving back. You all deserve an explanation, that is if any of you remember me, what with my long absence from server. So, let me give you the abridged version:
1 ) The disc drive of my Mac has busted. It will not play any disc, namely my JKA disc, and I do not have the funds for a new laptop and do not want to make my parents pay for a new one when everything else about it works.
2 ) College is busy.
3 ) Internships are busy.
4 ) Job-hunting is busy.
5 ) I've lost touch with KR on-goings. New people arriving and old members leaving without my realization for weeks on end tend to make a girl disoriented. I feel a bit like a foreigner every time I check the forums, seeing new names everyone recognizes except for me. I know this is my own fault for not having been able to log on the server and not being able to meet them myself.
6 ) I've made and lost friends here, some of whom I still keep in touch with and others who've sworn me off entirely. I've got no grudges against any KR member, past or present, and have nothing but love for all of you. However, it's gotten to the point where it makes for awkward relations within a family from which I already feel distanced, and more than likely more of my own fault.
7 ) There are some changes in KR with which I don't agree. Let me state very clearly I have nothing but respect and admiration for the KR Council. Their decisions are made with the upmost care and the ideal that those decisions are best for the clan as a whole, and they've earned their ranks with their high morals and dedication. Yet I do find myself disagreeing in more topics as time progresses, I admit namely in the new application process. I have nothing against any individual applicant, and my qualms with it are more than likely trivial to most everyone else. Long story short (too late), I'm far too set in my ways like an old bitty.
8 ) Probably most important, I'm losing my enthusiasm for KR and JKA as a whole. This is insulting and practically a spat in the face of not only those who voted me into the clan at the beginning, but everyone else I've met. I'm sorry I'm not more dedicated, loyal, or passionate about the clan as I was before. All the more reason I shouldn't be in it anymore, I suppose. I don't want to be another name under "Inactive" leading people on and occassionally stopping by, using my clan tags like some sort of discount card at a store I barely visit but of which I claim to be a loyal member. You guys deserve better and you have it in yourselves and the Council.
This was probably more detailed and long-winded than it needed to be, but I didn't want to leave with a minimalist explanation and disrespect those with questions. I've got nothing against the clan, the Council, or any member. You've all made the past couple of years memorable, fun, at the worst times trying and at the best effortlessly inspiring. You're all wonderful people that I'm lucky to know and I wish you the best in both KR and your real-life endeavors. Take care, everybody, of yourselves and each other.

I thought this day would never come.

Though it's sad to see you go, I'm glad you made the decision that you feel is best for you.
