I wrote this cause I was bored and looking through some sh'it (like I always do) earlier tonight, and first posted it on the forums of my [former?] guild, The Wild Mongooses. Read it if you want. I feel like it has some value in it, not a poem or story or anything.

You can't stop me once I start; once I start I never stop!

Hey guise, I'm feeling a bit artsy tonight (more so on this particular night than normal), so I decided to write this up. Let's start this off with some sh'it that's going on right now.

-My keyboard is missing three keys. I was cleaning my keyboard the other day and the retainers under the keys broke, so lol.

-I'm wearing my glasses. I never wear my glasses.
-I'm currently now fully studying Hendrix.
-I graduate high school in a few weeks.

K now that that's over with, let's get to the point of this essay thing.

For nearly four years now I've been a Mongoose; three years a Manifestian, two years a Reverian, four years (five if you count the time from when I quit to now) a MapleStory player. For four years I've been a part of the MapleStory section of OnRPG, up to its decline. What's the point I'm trying to get across hear? Time flies by fu'cking fast, man. Besides all the memory and nostalgia shi't that I don't feel like sharing right now, I actually looked through some old pictures and forum posts on the above forums and thought to myself, "Wow, was I really this ?". That makes me think further how much I've developed mentally since joining this fine group of fa'ggots right here. Let's take a look at one of my very first posts here, shall we?

here mayb u guys will appreciate rap a lil more...i dont c what you have against it
Si. Eso era yo. Now, the current me would look at that and be like...what? This guy's an idiot. You guys probably reacted that way too. That was four years ago, I was 14 years old and easily swayed by what people [i]around me liked, not just what I liked. You look at how I am now and it's like, hot damn 4 years ago seems so long now.

Years ago I didn't know what 13375p33k was, but the moment I found out I was obsessed with it. I was also obsessed with 4chan and memes and all that. Right now I think those things are all absurd. I'm beginning to ramble on with this now, lol <_<

Now, time for the self-analyzing part of this. Years ago, you thought you would be playing MapleStory forever (or at least that's what I thought). I was on my little Hermit flinging stars everywhere and not giving a sh'it. Right now, my thoughts on MS are mixed; in one part of my head, I feel as if I wasted 4 years playing this game when I could've been doing some other [productive] things. At the same time, I would've never joined TWM, Manifest, Reverie, OnRPG, met all the people I met, made all the friends I made, know how to use Photoshop, be introduced to the music I listen to now...etc.

MapleStory might not be a significant part of my life right now, but it was a significant part of who I used to be, and a significant part of how I got to where I am now.
