I know I'm writing to a dead audience, but oh my gosh! I can't remember the last time I actually posted on here. I've actually been checking in every day for the past week or so because I posted in the chat box. It's nice to see that some members have shouted within the past month. Who knew that almost a decade and a half later members other than myseld would care to check in? Thank you, guys <3
I'm sure I'm not the only one who has been going stir crazy during this time of social distancing. If you told me a year ago that I would be off work for months an unable to leave my house, I would have laughed. This is the craziest, most surreal thing I think I've ever lived through. But I'm a big fan of #alonetogether and I've been using this opportunity to reach out to as many people as possible. I even did my first live "hangout" on Instagram today!
As anyone stopping by to visit will notice, I did some cleaning of our forums and played with Proboards' theme settings. It's been so long since I've even messed with the theme that it was like an entirely different world when I went into the admin settings. Boy, have I fallen out of touch. As for the threads, I moved all of them into the "Graveyard" at the bottom of the forums. This is a staff only archive. I plan to read through old threads later on and I can't wait for the cringe I'm in store for. I created this forum when I was in HIGH SCHOOL (!!!) and I'm sure I'm going to want to bury my head in the sand after reading my old posts.
While I don't see this place ever coming alive like it once was due to inactivity and myself falling out of touch with how Proboards works, I would like it if those who do check in continue to stay in contact with each other. I considered all of you friends during my awkward teenage years and would love to reconnect as adults. I don't know if anyone would even be interested in role play forums anymore, but I'd love to just use the general chat board with ya'll! (And if you are interested in role play, I'll see what I can do for revamping this place. Putting heads together is very welcome.)
As for myself, I can't even begin to describe how much my life has changed since my emo little self created this forum over a decade ago. For transparency's sake, I'm going to go on record here and admit that I embellished my life a lot in the past, so I'm going to be as honest as possible now. For starters, I'm turning 30 (!!!) in almost exactly a month. When the hell did I get so old?! I'm a full-time librarian (when the world isn't at a standstill) and really love my career. Some happy news is that I'm getting married this year in October, current pandemic circumstances permitting.
How is everyone else doing? Tell me what's going in in your life. Let's catch up!
