Retrospective bullshit.

[Less Than Liz]

Ever think about what a toolbag you were when you first posted at AllRPG? No, just me? Well, here is how it goes for me: I was a hardliner Republican, no-alcohol-for-me, no-cigs-either, kind of girl. This was when I was about fifteen. Now I'm twenty-two, libertarian, and regularly drinking my face off, thinking about getting into pot and ectasy while smoking my first cig and realizing that I've (obviously) changed a lot. What about you guys?

I've considered women's rugby but I feel like that'd put me a flanel shirt away from being a lesbian whether I like it or not. As in, "Hey there goes that Liz girl. She has a boyfriend but played rugby so, you know." Maybe just basketball from here on out?

I am right there with ya, Liz. But I'm still too emotional and I still have some of the same problems as I used to. Fuck.

But hell, we're all being put through the fire, really.

I used to be a hardcore Christian boy who believed what he believed, but as fate would have it, I'm beginning to make a swift 180. I still believe in the supernatural and whatnot, but my eyes, I suppose you could say, have been thoroughly stapled open and it seems as though I cannot help but change.

Nonetheless, I still love this nostalgia--it's the best. Like when I was addicted to FFXI and me and Serge would play together; or all the times I spoke with Void when he was drug induced; or all of the times I made you really hate my guts, Liz! :) I could go on and on and on... but... ok, I will:

I remember when I would sit at home (I still do this occasionally) and think of nothing better to do than to get on AllRPG and rant about how Gaia from Chrono Cross was a real bitch to defeat. My point is that I actually thought of this place as my second home. I left for a long time, though. My departure was mainly do to my escapades as a hardcore Christian, which took up most of my free time. Now that I am pretty apathetic towards my faith and have gained a lot of respect for many other beliefs, I have decided to throw my time into the English Literature and become a novelist/teacher. I mean, hell, even a lot of you guys here have earned my respect. Like Jarrid, Blue, Liz, Inari, Dreamless, etc. Everyone here seems pretty real, and I like that. I mean, I can be a real douche sometimes, but I have just as much spunk and just as much aspiration as anyone here.

I love you guys...

Ha, spend enough time online and anyone's liable to lose their socially conservative values.

It's embarrassing to even think about the way I was when I first joined. Hopelessly trying to fit in because my actual social life was in ruins. I mean, I still have a shitty social life but at least I'm not a bitch about it.

I think I was 14 when I joined. I wasn't very politically aware back then, to be honest. I think I avoided every political or religious themed thread. Not showing any strong feeling on anything is a good way to avoid conflict but it's not a good way to get noticed. I was just along for the ride.

I still am, in a way.

Damn you for making this thread.

EDIT: nevermind!

[Poofy]

Poofy doesn't change. Ignorance, spite, stubbornness and denial keep me the way I was, am, and always will be.

[Devil King]

I've changed a lot since I first joined; I was a rather timid young boy that has since transformed himself into the very definition of subversive thanks to a certain someone.

A little embellishment doesn't hurt here and there as long as it doesn't taste funny.

[Jarrid]

I often look back at the times when I just would play videogames, smoke cigs, and drink beer back in the day. Ahh. . . how times have. . . um. . .

I'm taller.

[Cyrus the virus]

I used to be a whole lot more sensitive and anxious for acceptance/attention, since I never had buddies on the forums or anything. It progressed naturally as I grew up, I guess.

Also Liz, if I go visit you we should drink. Who the hell else lives near Rochester? I need a trip.
