It's been over a year since I had it and it's made it to eight people. This is definitely slowing down.

It's not dead, my shitty post office has fucked this up twice and I'm a reprehensibly slow part of this process. Shit showed up wedged in my door again, so when my paycheck hits on Friday I'm going to Fedex 2 day ship it with insurance.
Sorry for temporarily ruining this, I feel awful.

Thanks for the update.
I'm next in line, w00t?!
I'll reach out to the other Angeleans and see if they are interested in meeting up and collaborating.

All is forgiven. Delivery services suck big time so it's not your fault. I'm looking forward to seeing the next wave of scans from the next group of people.

You killed it, didn't 'cha?
Well, this was the original notebook. The second one was killed a year or two ago. I hope this one was backed up at least once recently. Pops has had the book since March at this point which is something like 5 months?

It took an age, but today is the day.
Nobody else will understand this image without seeing my entry, but this represents the last 10 years of my life and the ending of a very long chapter.
Glad it's finally over.
I hope the book comes back to life someday.

Last I heard from pops he was doing a write up for the Notebook, we should have made some strict conditions for joining. It was fun seeing scans and contributions that people added though.

Well, that means this story does has reached its end.
Did we have a Plan B for when this happens?

The least he could do is respond/post in here and let us know he lost it. We all understand that things can happen and losing a random-ass notebook isn't unheard of, but it's kind of just rude to not at least let us know he lost it/won't send it/whatever, especially if he's still posting on GAF in the meantime.

Mods should ban him.

I know these kind of things happen but it really sucks.
Maybe we could learn from this and start anew? Maybe vet people a little better?

That would be book number 3. Second one was sent out to New Zealand and lost by the second person.
Pops should at least explain themself.

So how do we get ahold of him? Could mods intervene in something like this?
Besada was the lone mod that contributed to the book and took an interest in investigating the book in the past when it was held up. Might be worth asking him.

That would be deserved, I'm sorry.
I did try to ship it initially, and it got returned and had to move on to the next recipient, which I never did. My life fell apart shortly before I got it. I've been trying to ignore a lot, including this. Partially out of anxiety and unwillingness to deal with my problems, partially because I'm not a good person. The notebook is sitting on my desk, as it has been for the past six months. My behavior with it is inexcusable regardless of what else has been going on.
I'm shipping it out in 8 hours when the USPS here opens. It was shitty and unfair of me to ruin such an incredible thing for as long as I did, and I shouldn't have let my personal issues stop me from doing something so simple, or even engaging with this thread or the PM's I've gotten about it. Especially when I still had the audacity to use GAF to make myself feel better, continuing to post and act like nothing was wrong.
I'll post the tracking number in here and PM it to all of those who have contacted me (and obviously the current next recipient, FliXFantatier) as soon as it's out in the morning.

Sorry things have been so rough for you lately. I just wanted to say that I really do appreciate you taking the time to get the notebook out again. Thank you.

It takes a lot of courage to post something like this. I can't speak for GAF as a whole but I know what it's like to go through something like this, I did when someone broke my heart.
Stay strong Pops.

Like I just told Pops in PM, taking forever with the thing just makes him one of us. I think everyone remembers how long I held onto the sucker, and lots of other folks have had the same problem. And once you hold onto it too long, then you're embarrassed to roll in here and admit it. I certainly was.
It's a crazy thing we're doing, but I love how we keep getting the ball back up into the air every time we think it's dead.
As always, if you need a mod, feel free to tap my shoulder.

hey man, i'm sorry to hear you're going through tough times, and i hope things improve in your life.
i don't think anyone actually wanted to ban you we were all just concerned about what was going on, that's all. i'm glad we were able to get into contact with you. good luck with everything to come and hopefully we can finish this project for everyone involved
this is good to know. thanks, besada

Don't beat yourself up. We all know there are more important things in life to deal with.
Good luck with everything.
Thanks for the kind words everyone, I really appreciate it. It means a lot and I can't understate how much you guys and GAF have helped over the past year.
Again, I'm really sorry for bailing on this for so long I dropped off the notebook this afternoon and will PM the tracking to FliXFantatier once I get off work and get home in a bit.
