Ode to myOtaku
You have served me faithfully
These going on five years
It saddens me to leave you
Saddens me to tears.

It seems Version Vibrant
Has a new system to journal
To which, I'm afraid, will leave you behind
Like an uncooked popcorn kernel.

But fear not! I shall never forget thee
As Worlds has nothing on you
Were you not the first, myOtaku
To be the blogger of animu?

It was July 31st, 2003
When you first opened your doors
I clawed my way in to snatch the tag 'Katana'
Doing my best to avoid name wars.

You watched me grow up
From the summer between sixth and seventh
Nurturing me through the increasing grades
Yet now we must part at my eleventh.

Oh! various fandoms you have burdened
So many styles suffered through
Different friends, different phases
But always keeping the same color blue...

No better record of myself can be found
Well, online, at least
From plays to podcasts, tests to theories
And even seeing me march on the Thanks feast.

I began my posting journey on Monday, August 4th, 2003
Now, 276 posts and 1,671 days later
On Saturday, March 1st, 2008
I can't help but feel like a traitor.

Good-bye, farewell, so long, and adieu
It's been one hell of a ride
Enjoy retirement, and once again, thank you
For connecting otaku far and wide.
