Yes indeed, for half a decade, I've been here on this site doing what I usually do which is, for the most part, making a fool out of myself.
Hey, give some credit, I'm much better than I was in the first couple of years on here. Those who know me well might have recalled that I made a "Introduce Myself" thread a while after I joined to make up for the fact that I didn't do it as soon as I arrived as well as to reflect on my behavior up until that point, and I basically spent most of it making it clear that I wanted to slap Past Firaga in the face. That as well as make time travel bits because, of course, that's always original. Oh yeah, and then there's those stupid Respond With Meme threads I made, my dumb poetry, and how I typed literally every sentence with some kind of annoying font and color...
I'm rambling, aren't I? Sorry, I don't want to make this too long, I don't really use this side of the forums as I prefer to keep most personal stuff under wraps, but I figured for this special occasion, I'd open up a little bit about my time here.
Anyways: Five whole years. It's fascinating really, because five years ago, I wasn't very well versed in using the internet, at least for social reasons, and KH13 soon became my outlet for exploring how it all works. For the most part, I just knew KH13 as a news site, but after I decided to make my account, I was exposed to what I know now is a place for a community, an entire bevy of people to talk and interact with, and of course, a forum to do all sorts of things, Kingdom Hearts related or not.
And yeah, like I mentioned, those who know me well know that I wasn't exactly the best person to hang around with when I first joined. I was immature, didn't really know how the forum worked, got into fights with other users and even the mods if I really looking for trouble... you're probably thinking, "Well shit, you do that now", and you know what, I take offense to that. I am an adult now, and I learn from my mistakes... most of the time...
In all seriousness, I really do feel like I've changed from the little ragamuffin I was when I first joined. I know to some that I might come off as as abrasive or mean, but I really do appreciate the community that's built here and the people I've met in it. It's a place where I can talk, show off my talents, spread my opinions, and most importantly, it's a place where I can just be me. And you have no idea how much I really do appreciate that fact.
So I thank you, KH13. Thank you for being an outlet for an guy who doesn't have many IRL friends and probably more time on his hands than he deserves for letting me come back here for five years. Here's to five more, and hopefully I won't burn the whole place down by then. Pun intended.
