akasketch Posted February 7, 2014 Report Share Posted February 7, 2014 Here's a story for all y'all: Once upon a time, a kid tried to get involved with an RPG site called Mistborn: the Inquisition right after he finished reading The Alloy of Law. This kid got on, posted on a lot of topics and tried to get as connected as possible for a couple days, then was unable to get back on for around a week as life sped up again. He kept telling himself, "I'll be able to get on again soon," but never did. Thoughts of the site gradually went away as the month dragged on, until he realized that he had been a little too excited, and posted in what he felt was an embarrassing way; acting too kiddish, which was silly, because he was pretty much a teenage kid. Now, here he is again, a couple years later, finding an awesome Brandon Sanderson website, and a means to blog and such in an inclusive community. The question is, will it play out the same way?

Quiver Posted February 7, 2014 Report Share Posted February 7, 2014 Kiddish enthusiasm, from someone who found something they were really passionate about, and wanted to get themselves involved in the community? Are you past me, because that story sounds very familiar. If you do want to end up staying... well, like Jason said, you'd be welcome. It's nice to have passion about something you enjoy; after all, there's no point in growing up if you want be childish once in a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Quitecontrary Posted February 7, 2014 Report Share Posted February 7, 2014 Welcome! It's always good to be able to revisit something you were so passionate about long back, and finding you still feel the same way years later. There's no point being embarrassed about things you did then due to said passion. It's nice to have passion about something you enjoy; after all, there's no point in growing up if you want be childish once in a while. There's no point in growing up at all if it means you're not allowed to be childish once in a while. Or maybe I should rephrase that to childlike. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akasketch Posted February 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2014 Thanks, guys. I know that now, but then I had taken a small dosage of "cool pills," and thus was embarrassed to return. I'm just happy to find this site! The first thing I saw was the forum regarding conic wardings, and I was like, "These... These are my people... *sniffle*" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're home. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akasketch Posted February 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2014 OK, how do we get a quote to go on a new thread, or a clipboard, or onto our signature, or something? Quitecontrary, that was awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
