Hello everyone, Rainy here! Man, I feel like I'm pulling a time capsule from the ground. I'm not sure anyone will ever see this. But if you're like me and enjoy looking up your old shenanigans from your preteen years, you'll end up here some day.
I believe this is a website which will forever be preserved in this state. Nothing will ever change - well, except that spam I just deleted. It really is a time capsule, and the Internet is like the ground... I had to dig a bit to find this website, but I think it's quite a gem to pull out of the ground. Had to reset my password as well! If any of you find this, I think it would be fantastic to post how you've ended up. How you've changed. I've definitely changed a lot since browsing here, but I'll get to that in a minute.
It really is a strange thing, memory. A bit glorified sometimes, but also very much covered in dust. Looking around here, I realize that I always missed having such a nice community to reach out to after long days in middle school. I'm starting to get that feeling back on the small subreddits which I frequent, though it isn't quite the same. As I looked through our old posts, I reClanmateed (hehe, yes I reClanmate this silly clanmate bug too) some faces and some hilarious conversations we used to have. There's also the controversial moments - I look back on these with a grin on my face, reClanmateing my distress at some silly tiny argument about 'literate' and 'non-literate' rp boards. I refresh the page and hear that familiar noise the glitchy chat box always used to make. I see the problems we had with spammers, and wonder why we didn't look up how to deal with them more effectively. I pull up the Spam board in my search for more spammers to cull, and instead am graced with our wall-to-wall insane banter.
As I said, I've changed since I used to come here actively. Hopefully mostly for the better, but also definitely for the worse in some ways. I have trouble being as outgoing as I used to be here and elsewhere, constantly plagued by some very ugly anxiety. I'm not inoperable in any way, though I am constantly afraid of what people think of me. It's like my own personal curse. Another way which I've changed for the worse: I don't write as much. I'm not sure when I stopped writing for fun. It was most likely around the beginning of High School, when writing assignments became more common and it started to feel like a chore. I reClanmate writing some role-playing on here and writing my own fan-fictions based off of the works I love, but I wish I still had that creative spirit in my heart. Maybe I do, and my love of writing will be renewed someday. As you can probably tell with this huge wall of text, this doesn't mean I don't ever write anything anymore. I have also acquired an obsessive need to edit and revise others' works, which makes finding good fan-fiction (which I still read) which meets my standards quite a chore.
I haven't read the more recent Warriors books, although I did continue reading after this site was abandoned. There's only a few I have missed, which I will probably catch up on sometime. I do still read, though I have been slack in that area recently. Things I am currently a big fan of: a webcomic called Homestuck, a few guys who play video games on YouTube called the Yogscast, the BBC TV show Sherlock, and various things from anime and Japanese culture. Of course I do still like cats. I am currently working at a Petco very close to my house as a Grooming Assistant, where I bathe dogs. It's too bad we don't take cats for bathing at our specific store, but I hear they are difficult about it and I can understand that perfectly well. I'll only be there for another month before I head to University to study Computer Science as a freshman.
Generally I use variants on the username "pieiscool" for anything I do on the internet now. I'm not sure where this came from, but I think I may have found part of the origin on a post I made here earlier about a blog which I made only a few posts on right after making it. pieiscool is the username I use on the website www.reddit.com, which is where I hang out a lot. My e-mail is still hashi10@gmail.com.
Anyway, this has been a nice one-sided chat. I hope somebody comes here to turn that into a false statement. Although I see that this forum has not been resurrected or anything, so I won't be disappointed if nobody sees this. Ta-ta for now, then! I bid you adieu with a teary farewell, and a smile on my face.
