It's been around 5 years since this site died, what have you accomplished?

I went into a job from then that required me to sacrifice a lot of free online time.

Glad I got out of it as I managed after 4 years to secure a job at a very influential radio station.

Tech has definitely improved, said goodbye to Adobe Flash because mobile users can't have it.

I would need to change my username too but this does not allow.

I'm at my second year university.

I joined this place when I was 11 (or even younger, I can't quite remember). It's bizarre to see a place I spent so much time is now a ghost town.

I was in middle school when I joined this as well. I went to uni on state dollar and just got my first job with my degree in crime research. I do stand-up sometimes, but I take a break every time the night goes badly. And if you've been to an open mic, you know how easy it is for one or two people to ruin a night for everybody. Need to get over the fear of bombing because I love writing jokes.

Okay, now that's really cool.

How did you get into stand-up?

[Supa Fool]

Ha thanks, anybody can do it, I do it but not well. I took this silly class about spirituality and meditation in my last year of college to fill out my credits and have an easy A. They had a project where I just had to do something I would never do otherwise. I had always been the funny person with my friends and loved comedy.
I tried stand-up, and I got a few laughs my first time and it felt great, so I kept going.

edit: just realized I posted in this thread already 2 years ago. lmao

There should be a new topic five years after OP's date.

[Ryu-Nacho]

Since my last time here, I've:
Mostly fixed my knee and gotten back into weightlifting.
Developed an upper back/shoulder problem which causes pain if use M+KB too much.
Joined (and left) a local board game group.
Saved and adopted a third kitten (thought he was deaf, but he was just playing dumb).
Became a nazi (or so others keep telling me).
Got old.

First, PICS OF KITTEH, NOW.

Secondly, did you pop your knee while attempting a squat?

Lastly, board game groups are a thing?

1. Cat is playing hard to get, so I'll post the pic later tonight.

2. Bicycling accident. Hadn't rained in a few days, but managed to hit a puddle filled with moss/algae hidden around a corner on a bike trail at 20mph.

3. Look for board game shops, or maybe poke around sites like facebook and craigslist for local groups and events

Managed to hurt my back weight lifting in July, but fuck it I'll keep lifting. Third time's a charm.

Crappy picture, but there he is.

ummm, i realized a lot about myself, fell in love with my best friend who has been my boyfriend for over two years now (officially-speaking), moved to pennsylvania and back, traveled a lot, started looking into witchcraft and hellenic polytheism just for fun and realised they're perfect for me, and now i'm working on writing a book! and i missed all of you a lot.
