I'm 21 now... and I joined the site in January, when I was fourteen, so....
Hold on for a moment while I LUG A FREAKING CALC out because I can't do simple math. 21-14...
7.
Some how I think I should have noticed a trend that those are both multiples of 7, BUT WHO CARES.
I joined the site when I was in a whirlwind of drama, so my first year was chaotic to say the least.
I REMEMBER WHEN JACK AND RORY JOINED FOR CRAP'S SAKE.
I remember being VERY intimidated, I had come from Gaia, and was very aware of my grammatical shortcomings. I latched onto people to kinda figure out how to do this.
Arsenal, I dated him, but I mimicked him for a while, he liked bringing his characters into everything, I sought out to try that, and it ended with me and him creating story lines and then eventually we started dating >.>...... His style was very... chaotic, and he loved breaking the forth-wall.
Paorou, I watched in an amazed sense of morbid wonder. If you're wondering how he acted years ago.... don't. Either way, he was awesome, I loved watching how he acted, it was always fun getting into a thread that had Arsenal and Pao in it.
Asmo, I looked to, in fear and respect, I wanted anything to have that kind of way with the written word- so I tried my hardest to learn from him- like any teenager, I didn't like just asking people, no, I secretively looked to their posts, watched what they did, and tried to learn from what I thought worked.
I remember REALLY wanting to be a mod.
I became friends with Kami, Homac's wife, as well as Twilight, a member who liked to take on the persona of a Catgirl.
FOUND IT. January 18th, that's when I joined.
Pretty much it
