    Default Where has the time gone?

    So here I was, March 10th, 2004. 13 years old. In the 8th grade. Posting my first topic, nearly getting myself banned.

    Now, here I sit, July 20th, 2007. 17 years old now, Senior in High school.

    Today, I sit here at my computer. Wondering where has these four years gone?
    I am unsure as of why I am posting this, but something tells me it just needs to be done.

    These past four years, have gone by so incredibly fast. So fast, I can't even begin to take it all in. To tell you the truth I am kind of shocked, even scared.
    It seems as if everything is changing around me, suddenly I cannot just sit around with my friends and not have a care. I always told myself I cannot wait until school is out. But now, as I sit here; I realize that I indeed will miss it when it is gone. I also find it strange, here I am sitting in the same exact place, as I was 3-4 years ago when I first discovered the place known as, The Emuparadise Forums.

    Although it may seem as if I took all of this lightly, I will never forget any of you guys. Ever.

    Cyberxion, you have taught me a lot. Really.


    Now before I get to emo.
    Time to install my new 7900gs.

    Yeah, time goes by fast. I wish I was still in High School. I don't want to have to make anymore decisions for myself. Also, I win. I have been here longer. Post count means nothing.

    Youre just having that typical senior thing where a huge change is finally coming after having spent the past 12 years of your life grinding for a [Diploma]. (fucking WoW addiction) Im 22 now, and time has slowed down because i have a new career field where change is always happening. Just don't fall in a grind again and things will slow down.

    I was 14 when I joined, turning 19 later this year. I was a bored, talented (yeah, you'll have to take my word for it) little kid back then, and now I've graduated with somewhat disappointing grades and I'm taking a year off to dick around and do nothing. During this time I haven't had a girlfriend for a longer period than two days (although good shit have been happening lately on that front), I never made it to the senior level, footie-wise due to me being to lazy to train every fucking day. I've accomplished nothing of real worth, and I think many years will go by before I actually do. But, hey, good times have been had.

    So, what was this topic about, again?

    Michael Ballack, he scores free-kicks.
    He's got black hair, and he's german.
    Michael Ballack, trains in paddocks.
    in his spare time, HE FARMS HADDOCKS!
    Watch me play Super C, guys!!

    Nostalgia topic, eh?

    I only graduated like a month ago, and I already kinda miss high school. Enjoy it while you can. Discovering this place... that was about 2 and a half years ago only, but it already feels like a million years. Time flies, indeed.

    Oh, yeah, I remember when you and pkt joined. You were "the nubs with a great taste in video games". You won my heart right away, really.

    <3. Good times, good times.

    And that bastard brother of mine is wasting his life at other forums instead of just coming back to EP and increasing the coolness factor. He so crazy.
