so... whats up?

[Valkysas]

so, what important things/changes have happened in your life since the day you came to the pavilion? I don't expect anything to relate to the pavilion.

Since I came here, I have become less social in real life. my circle of friends currently consists of a grand total of 3 people. I became engaged, had that relationship destroyed, only to end up rekindling it over the past few weeks,hilariously enough... over the time spent together setting up the new pavilion forum, and the preliminary work on the new site. I've lost 3 pets that I was closer to than I am with most people. I quit highschool and obtained my GED. I've had bone spurs removed from my right hand that for the last 5 years, kept me from one of my few passions in life: art. I learned I have some very bad habits, primarily that I take on responsibility for things I really have no reason to, and I overburden myself with things just to help others out. I've realized that I get the most joy in life from helping others, which is a huge change from my extremely hateful and shallow way of thinking and behaving when I came here.

Overall, I'd say I have improved greatly during my time here, although some others would probably not agree.

I've gone from extremely anti-social/depressive/suicidal to super-social/super happy. Um, my opinions have certainly changed a big deal.

Yay!?

Interestingly enough, I have IMPROVED socially, I am even talking to girls on a regular basis! Though lately I'm starting to feel extremely phony.

I am participating in extracurricular activities, including plays and musicals, things that pre-Pavilion Kefka would have to be paid to do.

I started playing piano like crazy, but in the last few months I stopped entirely and can't remember a single song.

I have lost weight, but still haven't gained much muscle.

I made friends from other towns and lost most of them - actually, all but one.

Even while she was going out with a friend of mine, I got very very friendly with the-girl-I-like, but then she broke up with him. I haven't been so friendly with him since, and I haven't seen her nearly as often.

I started doing really good in school, but now I think I'm passing English because of the teacher's pity.

I stopped pacing around my living room at night. At least I did. Then I started it up again.

As a whole I've improved, but lately I've felt like after all this time I'm basically back where I was four years ago.

Re: so... whats up?

Too much to describe, most notable thing has to be the end of my 2 1/2 year relationship with the love of my life.

And if it werent Valentines day, i probably wouldnt be dwelling on it.

Probably the most influence this place has had on me is through changing my humor. Thanks to everyone involved in that.
From since I've been here, I've become much more social and got a girlfriend. Kind of funny to think that I've known this place longer than I've known her, too.

Re: so... whats up?

Let's see 'ere:

• Hearing about all my peers' college experiences made me envious and guilty for dropping out. I'd cringe at most of the "college life/what do you do" topics, but I'd read em all...
• I renounced my Catholicism. I hated the "sheep" analogy, and the intolerance.
• I was diagnosed with type-2 diabetes.
• I invited Fushigi here to meet the people I talked about.
• I lost about 40 pounds and put the diabetes under control.
• Had surgery to treat toenail infection.
• I've had a renewed interest in reading. (Thanks Ryu)
• Made the decision to go vegetarian.
• Cut my obscenely long hair, now only abnormally long.
• Returned to school for the first time in 5 years. That just one rung higher on the Ladder of Independence; I'm still quite self-conscious and agoraphobic. My first math test is tomorrow, wish me luck...
• I'm planning on making one more RM1 game, for old time sake.

Kire, all I ever wanted to know about you I learned from the confessions topics.

Re: so... whats up?

I guess I've changed a lot since I first came here.

I used to be pretty naive. I was a lot more socially awkward back then, though I'd say I'm actually quieter now than I used to be. I guess I'm more reserved now because I don't feel the need to talk all the time to gather attention to myself. I tried to conform and fit in so people would accept me. Really, only within the last year or two have I come out of that. In that time, I've stopped caring what people generally think about me. It's funny -- if you look at pictures, you can see it physically. I've grown my hair out and stopped "doing" it at all, whereas I used to keep it short and gelled it every day. I dress however I feel like dressing and wear my glasses instead of bothering with getting new contacts.

I also used to think that Linkin Park was good.

Sometimes I wonder if I'm such a freak by choice.
