Experience

Wow. A status update without counting. It's been five years. It's kind of crazy, looking back at the me of five years ago, and seeing how much I have changed. The Shard has definetly had a special and important impact on my life, and has helped to shape me into being who I am. I have sooooo many memories from so many interactions from the amazing people here. 

Firstly, I know you won't see this for a year or so yet, but @Frustration. Back when you were bookworm and we were just neby shardies and you became Sty and I became Exp and the rest is history. Can't wait to theorize more with you once you get back. #shardbuddiesforlife.

SE has def been a large chunk of my activity here on the shard. There's a lot that I don't remember from my games here, but there is a lot I will likely never forget. I've loved every second of it, and hopefully sometime soonish I can roll elim again cuz it's been too long.

Also from my generation, most of who are no longer active, but I have many a fond memory of RPing and messing around in Forum Games with so many people. The Hunger Games were so awesome, and I'm glad it has become a bigger thing now. 

I've loved all the special conversations I've had with people in PM's, and causing wayyyy too many notifs with status updates. Counting has been fun.

I've enjoyed getting to meet some of y'all in person, @DramaQueen, @Mage, and @Cash67. Hopefully I can meet more of you in the future. 

So what now? My activity has been off and on recently. I plan to continue playing Sanderson Elimination for the time being, and I think that's likely where ther majority of my time on the Shard will be, as well as on SUs. If you guys haven't played SE before, or if you have, you should def come join in, it's super fun! And you'll have a chance to stab me so win-win right? :P. 

Anyways, outside of the Shard, life is really ramping up and it's been super exciting, albiet stressful. Married life is amazing, and I am learning so much regarding film. I am in the process of creating a production company with some friends, and am spending a lot of time prepping for a documentary I'm going to be starting about service missionaries this summer. All that plus schoolwork, workwork, speedrunning celeste, raging slightly at pocket pokemon, trying to get back into running, and planning a trip to peru and possibly moving to japan next year has me just slightly too busy lol.

But I'm so glad for all of you guys and know that you have had a greater impact on me then you can know.

To another amazing five years.
