*Dusts self off*
Well it's been such a helluva long time since I last logged in I thought I might as well check up on the forum that I wasted so many hours on. I was hoping to see if all of the old folkies that knew me where still here because they helped me get through a pretty rough spot in my life.
I'd just like to say that for the longest time this forum was my only human contact. Pathetic- yeah? During the golden years of my time here both my parents died (I never believe I mentioned this), my grandparents were home schooling me, and I never was able to see anyone outside of a small circle of family members. The Internet (and especially this forum), books, and games were my means of escape from the rote boredom of life. On here I found people who were similar to myself in attitudes and interests and I felt like I somehow belonged to something greater than myself. Some might say, "Get over yourself man, it's just a forum." And sure, when it all boils down to it it is just a forum about Pokémon. But the people are the ones who effected me the most, and to them my hat tips.
I thought I'd catch everyone up on how my life is going. I switched my university major to Nursing and I'm going to be graduating in the Fall with a B.S. in that field (Having sacrificed my summers I'm able to graduate a year and a half early). At present I'm planning on dedicating my life to traveling around the world with few possessions and just helping people. When I do graduate I'll be working for the Red Cross in Germany for training before I get shipped somewhere in Latin America or India. I'd rather die in a muddy ditch somewhere having done something rather than sit on my ass in some office while life passes me by.
Cheers, PC. You're the best.
Love,
VC
