The year in retrospect
This past year really has changed from what it used to be. I suppose that happens around this time of life..

I suppose the biggest thing is my shift in interests from primarily video games to internet time. This happened because of a girl that I liked back early last year (And still do). You see, she told me she felt "unready for a relationship" but ended up giving me her email address. For about a month we emailed each other back and forth constantly, and then I got AOL Instant Messenger, expanding my e-conversational horizons.

Then I came across TheOtaku.

One day I was searching for pictures for my website (It's a lost cause, it sucks), and I came across TheOtaku's .hack//SIGN guide. I then spent a week or so visiting the site, taking everything in, and didn't bother with the message boards for a while. Eventually my old message board, GameTalk, got dull. I then said "Why the hell not," and joined.

For a month or so I posted rather spammily, my first post being an introductory thread, but I started two-paragraph posts not much later. My first real OB friend was Eve, a girl who I frequently talk to through PM who does not have an instant messenger handle. Then I met KKC, and then Japan_86, then Syk3. For a while I sort of walked on egg shells around him, but I eventually got to a very friendly, loosened-up state around him. He and Laura introduced me to OtakuBoards chats, where I met many other characters such as Kazuko, Shinmaru, and more recently James, Desbreko and AzureWolf. There are a ton of other close friends of mine, but I'm too tired to list them all.

The rest is history nobody will care about. All compiled in a MyOtaku account nobody reads.
