SA, much like "Distorted View", didn't awake anything in me. Both sites just let my inner sicko run free. And I love you all for the opportunity. :)

u lightweights couldn't even feed my shadow ;*
sa taught me a lot surprisingly

ive been here half a decade by now even though my acct says otherwise. yes, im a little dirty re-reg but i think ive reformed by now and im trying to be a good boy.

the first and probably biggest thing sa taught me was how to want to live. 5-6 years ago when i started on this site, i was a junior in high school and was literally always on the verge of killing myself. I didn't have any friends, I was in the throes of chronic schizoid, paranoid and depressive episodes and thought of nothing besides putting a hollow-point through my cranium. I fantasized, dreamt and escaped reality in a warped and fetishized routine of self-harm and was without even a prayer until I found something waffle.

When I first started here, I mostly just read what others wrote. I didn't post at all except for once, which I dared not do again because I'd been severely railed on for my one post. I got to learn about the things that other people were doing, what they wanted to do, what they'd do if they could, etc. and it really interested me. I got really invested in the rest of you and was regularly keeping my ear to the ground for an update on your lives. It was honestly pretty bad in retrospect-- I'd ditch school early just to come home, drink capri suns and read threads I'd never participate in. Over time, however, I was able to build an interest like that for my own life and I started having something to look to, even if there was actually nothing tangible or real before me. I started going to school again, stopped smoking as much and started going back to the debate/anime club at my school. The rest of you cast a dim-yet-still-visible silhouette on a prospective future for me to focus on, and i think that's why I'm even here today.

Strong stroll for a mangy stray
First joined and spent a lot of time in TCC, learned a lot of useful and not-so-useful information about getting hosed up. Used this information to begin selling drugs in high school, pay my way through college, and get my house raided by the police.

Slowly got over that kind of thing, or else decided that TCC had nothing left to teach me. Laughed at some poo poo. Learned some poo poo in DnD.

For the most part, wasted a buttload of time I could've spent on more productive things.

Right now undead are at the top of my shit list. Undead are complete fuckers. Those geists are fuckers. Necromancers are fuckers. Necrosavants are big time fuckers. Skeletons aren't too bad except when they bleed everyone in the company. Zombos are at least not too bad.


SA taught me to quit caring so much about things that are beyond my control. Goons also taught me that it's okay to laugh at anything, especially myself.
