Wooooooooaaaaah, blast from the past. I used to visit the escapist regularly and then I guess...I dropped off the radar. But in the time since my last post (24th November 2009) and now I've gained experience in life, not much but it accumulates ya know. 'Till you end up like a wise, grumpy old wizard who swears at Girl Scouts. I visited Germany (again), I turned 15, Had my first proper relationship, which burned out pretty fast by the way, to this day I have no idea what happened. I began to think about my views politically and found myself on the right of the scale, then began to toy with anarchism, I'm not sure on that yet because it's such a shift on views from my long standing ideas. For some unknown reason I got a teensy bit more agressive, but I think that's part and parcel of puberty. I am now not scared of mosh pits, even if they broke my watch and gave me a wobbly tooth from the end of an avenging headbutt (we won't go into that). And before I forget, I finished my first year of exams. A bottomless feeling of dread and regret fills the unknown depths of my dark, dark mind. I could've tried harder, I'll find out my results at the end of the summer holidays. Shit Happens.

Yeah, I've grown up. I've got a lot to learn but I've learnt a lot. Life's journey I suppose. Any way, enough chit chat, a topic isn't a topic without a discussion point. What I wanted to ask is, since the start of this year, have you felt a major change in your life? Have you changed in any way. Have you matured? Have you mellowed out? Any life philosophy you want to share? Also, on a last note, any major changes to the website and forums would be appreciated. I've missed a lot.

PS. How the Hell have I remembered bb code?

Turning 15 is hardly "grown up."

Welcome back I suppose. I'll have to agree with thiosk though, turning 15 is hardly grown up.

Hey, Hey, Hey. There's 14 years younger than it. I've grown up one year... And I know that, I explained it. But it's nice to be welcomed back. I just thought,
"Shit! How many Yahtzees have I missed?" And just wondered onto the forums.

I'm 17, does that mean that I should retire and start using a diaper again?

Welcome back, person I don't really remember or know. Then again, you probably haven't even seen me before, so it's no issue.

Have you felt a major change in your life?
Certainly. I've become a far nicer person.

Have you matured?
The maturation process began in September of last year, and is still in progress, but the answer would be yes.

Have you mellowed out?
Somewhat. I'm not an angry person, if that's what you are asking.

Any life philosophy you want to share?
Not really.

And for me..I found the meaning of life (Or established my own philosophy of life so to speak..) and it isn't pre
It seems that I have become a lot more pessimistic as a result =/

Hello person. Welcome back. Have I matured? Hell no, if anything I'm less mature. Have I mellowed out? Errrr... probably, but I like to think I was pretty mellow all along. Life philosophy? None really, except 'always accept a drink'.

I vaguely remember you. Welcome back. Congratulations on however much you've matured and, as long as your looking into politics, I feel it would be traitorous not to send you to talk to these fellows:

http://www.escapistmagazine.com/groups/chat/Socialist-Gamers-Guild

As for me, I've changed almost none since November. I was in a long distance relationship with somebody (I had met them at a statewide acting conference, and Texas is a huge place), but that fell through pretty quick and I don't really care about it anymore. An interesting experience I guess, but other than that, same 2012 Wont Happen.

The reason I came to this site was because I am immature.

So as long as I keep posting here, I remain a goofy man-child.

10000 is the new 1000.

30000 is now the new 10000.
