Well hidey ho.
I wrote a while back that there were changes afoot, and changes there have been. On April 25th I packed my things and left John.
I have never cried so uncontrollably in my life.
John knows of this blog, and I know that some of you have met him now, so please excuse me for sparing you the details. I don't want to disrespect him in any way. We were both slowly self-destructing and this was beginning to manifest itself both mentally and physically, and suddenly the relationship was broken beyond any chance of repair.
I think that it will be best if my life is kept to myself for a little while, as we both adjust to this change. It was not a mutual decision, you see. You see?
I am now officially off the air. Thank you for reading my shite. I have appreciated every page load and every comment and every e-mail. Even the ones from angry people and bad spellers. You people make me feel all funny in my tummy.
Keep in touch, k? Sniff.

I'm sure it had to happen, and I'm sure it's for the best. Don't forget to eat plenty and call your mum.h
Thinking of you. Hope to hear from you soon.
/h
I'm sorry kitten.
I hope both of you are doing okay.
Do whats best for you. I'll miss you. And I hope for both of your sakes, when the person who didn't instigate comes to terms with it, that you can stay friends.
Drop by my blog when you're back, and I'll begin the creepy stalky thing again.
*sniffs*
Big hugs, Miss GBE. I'm thinking of you and hope you're getting through this.
Look after yourself and don't be a stranger. You'll be sorely sorely sorely missed around these parts.
Oh dear. Not knowing what to say I was going to be all flippant and pick on Mark and stuff but he's actually being nice...!
Still got nothing non-lame so I'll just send you hugs like everyone else.
Awww.
I do hope you keep in touch some way - e-hugs in a non stalky manner.
Okay, why in hell does every blog I love to read QUIT on me????
WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!!!!
Sorry about your breakup, but do you really think that severing your blog readers like an extraneous limb is going to make you feel any better?
NO!
Come back!!! Or at least start another blog on another site and let us have the hopes of finding you again!
*sob*

well, i guess this is as good a time as any to admit to lurking on yer blog for months now (lurking in a nice, shy way of course).
i know how weird it appears, but it would be remiss of me not say thanks for all your posts. i think your writing style is cool. you should keep it up in some fashion.
sorry to hear things went pear shaped for you. drop by my blog if you're bored online.
Oh no GBE. Terrible news! I hope that you get through this tough time OK. I will miss your delightful views on the world.
Bugger!
I am really sorry to hear your bad news.
The appalling irony is that I am more or less back on line after getting my life on a even keel and I was looking forward to reading what has been going on.
I pretty much lost touch with your blog just before Xmas, due to my housing situtation, but for the record you have kept me entertained with your wit and style, ever since the (ex)Office Wench days.
Keep safe and I hope things work out for the best. Drop by my blog if you ever get the chance. Leave a comment.
Thanks
KH
*contains tears*
Best wishes for your future endeavours, GBE. Your "shite", both figurative and literal, will be sorely missed...
*weeps heartily*
I'm sad you won't be blogging anymore, do drop an email if you'd ever like to catch up at a Nerdfest.
I only recently began reading your blog, and enjoyed your writing very much. I am sorry to hear that you will be leaving.
Good luck with everything, hope it all works out.
*big hugs* to you GBE.
You will be sorely missed, and I really mean that.
When/if you feel you can come back, there will be celebrations, or maybe just alcohol and a lot of tissues... Whichever, I hope that you know there are people here who care, k?
Take care
Ellie

Oh sweetie.. I love reading your shite which of course isn't shite at all. I hope you eventually come back shinier and brighter than ever. I wish you so much happiness. And if you do come back, I hope you let some of us know. Will miss your funny self! xoxo
Just so you know...we're missing you...I check back everyday just to see if you have changed your mind. Hope things are going better for you
cheers

Aww, even Lucy is gone now. This is no fun.
Well, all the best 'T :)
Oh hun, so sorry to hear this. I hope you are ok. xox
Email me if you feel like writing about it: susannenewton@hotmail.com
Okay, so now I miss you and I would like it if you came back. Like nowish.
At any point. In any form.
Because the interweb feels a little crap without you in it.
(I hope you're well kitten)
See? I can't satisfy Lucy by myself. I told her I don't like Harry Potter and now she's planning ways to hurt me. It's a complete mess.
Can we have some sort of sign that you're still out there? The interwebs misses you and worries about you.
If you ever need a more private ear successfamebeercandy@gmail.com is me.
Still sending hugs. It's what I do in times of crisis.
Hello lovely people. Still alive, kicking, and lurking occasionally. Missing that warm bloggy feeling. Sniff.
Yay! GBE comment love!
I'm so glad you're back, even briefly.
You know though missy if you came back for good you could bask in the warm bloggy love all the time?
Huh, good plan, no?
lol. I think you're generating demand by limiting supply...
Please come back - we promise not to ask questions!!!
Woo Yay! She's still online!
/does victory dance
Pop by and say "hello" from time to time.
please?
Keep well and remember, if you start another blog remember us.
GBE,
Come talk to us! We all have missed you , your irreverant look at life is admired by many of us, your fresh attitude and "gutsy" GBE are a breath of fresh air.
I live in the world of "standard corporate bullshit",...to pay the bills,..but God, it's the "free spirit" that feeds out mind.
Get back on line,...I for one miss your blog greatly, (besides being worried about the safety of your "highly intelligent, most adoring, consumate loyally,...bird buddy. How's he doing (besides annoying the shite out of you!)
Mr. Guinness
"guinness@mchsi.com"
As always, I salute Mr Guinness's enthusiasm and choice of beverage. I'm not 100% sure whether ranting about people on the bus constitutes free spirited behaviour, but I do miss it terribly.
If not, I at least want to have the last comment.
Not likely Mark.
Also, are we back yet GBE?
(One blink for yes, two for no)
She's having a holiday, not recovering from a car accident...
Carn girl, that's enough loafing already. When are you coming back?
Ok, this has definitely gone on for long enough, so come back already, k?
The interwebs has not been the same since you went into hiding.
(Seriously, hope you're doing ok Miss GBE ... hugs)

Popped back but alas no update :(
Keep well and when you feel the urge, let us know by some secret signal of your return.
As an aside, I let someone know and read my blog once, and now I find it difficult being true to myself in the way I write. Even though we are no longer an item, she knows the people in the blog, and who I work for and I worry one day I write the wrong thing. It can stiffle the creative juices.
My advice would be not to share, indeed, never mention you have a blog. Even well intentioned comments could come back to haunt you. Atleast that way you can write about thoughts and feelings without that nagging feeling it is going to piss someone off.
Well, thats my 10p's worth.
All the best
Nooooooooo! Come back!! We'll hug you and feed you soup and bash everyone who dares to upset you....in a cyber way of course.
I'm so sorry to hear about the break up. I hope you're hanging in there and have people taking care of you.
Please blog again. ((big hugs))
GBE,
Ok, ...it's getting serious! Are you ok, are you coming back? I sincerely hope life is treating you well,...you are a real person, and we need more of them.
Miss you a lot.
Mr. Guinness
Are you ever coming back :( We miss you!!!
Hope you had a great festive season?
miss your blog.
Have a great 2008
GBE,
Come on back we miss you out here!
To those who still leave the occasional comment: woah! Thank you a bazillion. I've gone through a lot of changes since quitting g.b.e: promotions at work, getting my licence and buying my very own vroom-vroom, and the meeting and consequent dating of a Very Nice Boy (for once in my life I had prime blog fodder in the nervous awkwardness of meeting someone new and I didn't get to blog it. Damn it!).
However, I have been feeling that little tingling somewhere inside which suggests I'll probably be starting something bloggish in the next couple of months. Perhaps a combo with something YouTubey now that I am addicted to cheesy vlogs and want to marry daxflame, STAT.
Anyhoo. That is all. I am going to the dentist now. kthxbye.
Nice to hear from you GBE. I've missed your wonderful humor and twisted lovely way of expressing things. Continue to take care of yourself and know that all your fans miss you and your creative prose!! Take it easy, sleazy!!
Yay!! You're coming back... everyone seems to have shut up shop lately, so glad to have someone coming back; looking forward to it!
Argh!
You're back!
Oh mercy, today is now officially a good day.
The Republic of Iceland waits with baited breath for the return of GBE.
JBJ
woot!
You are back from the Dark side of the Moon!
Leave word here if you blog/vlog [?].
Take care and have fun.
