Morning everyone,
Some of you may remember me, I used to post a lot pre fall 07, and according to my "All posts", I guess I came back a little bit around 2009. Don't remember, but anyway.
It's funny coming back after a few years to see what's changed and what hasn't about this site. It used to be a big part of my life back when I posted regularly. Before school, most of my social interaction (including my first girlfriend
) was online, and a lot was on this site. That all changed in at Uni, joined a fraternity, enjoyed academic probation for a few semesters, got serious (kind of) the last two years, added a second major, got engaged, etc. etc.
I have learned a lot the last few years. But ultimately, I don't think college changed me nearly as much as I thought it had or would have. After it's all said and done, I'm working full time at my school's information technology department (nothing to do with my major) and really all I want to do at night is sit at my computer, explore the internet, and play PC games. (by the way, the PC gaming scene, for having been out of it for 4 years, is fecking depressing...)
Last night I fired up HL2 and played through the first few chapters, and recollected the first time I played that game on November 16th 2004 at 4 am. Nothing will ever match that experience in my life, I don't think. Is that sad?
Can't shake the feeling that I'm missing something.
Anyway, all this to say, it's good to see some recognizable faces (raziaar, stern, hool, the moderators, and I see tollbooth willie flipped a shit and left....I remember when he made humorous but useful contributions) and maybe I'll hang around this time At least until the FAA hires me as an air traffic controller.
