It’s no secret that I haven’t been very active as I used to be on this account and now that so many are saying goodbye, I feel that I should officially do the same. I’ve loved being Connor, it has made me love his character even more, even though he doesn’t usually get a lot of screen time. I have loved getting to interact with my Dave (who is such a great friend outside of the RP world), Wesley, Sadie, Clare, and etc. And lastly I have loved and appreciated all of you who have talked to me and supported me during those few times when I received hate mail.

Thank you all so much for loving Connor as much I do and thank you for being on this ride with me. To Simplygold, you are my family and I love every single one of you. To the readers, you are family as well and thank you for everything.

If you would like to know my personal, please message non-anon and I’ll reply to you.

Well first we have to find a girl…I don’t know how to go about that.

Thanks. Those adjectives are sort of reassuring.

Thanks KC. Are you going to help me with what we talked about after practice?

Thanks Owen

It’d be much appreciated.

Thanks Drew

It’s nice to be part of a team.

Too soon?

When the word nebula entered English in the early 15th century, it had nothing to do with astronomy.  Arriving as nebule meaning a cloud or mist from the Latin word nebula meaning mist, which in turn came from the Proto Indo-European root word *nebh-meaning cloud, vapor, fog, moist, sky.  Ancient Greek had the related word nephele, nephos which also meant cloud. When the word nebula reappeared in English it had a medical meaning for cataracts or cloudy defects in the eye.  The astronomical meaning of a cloud-like patch in the night sky was first recorded around 1730. It wasn’t until the early 20th century with the advent of modern and powerful telescopes that nebula were fully understood as massive clouds of gas and dust.
