I've been alone in the house the past few days, and besides when I was with my friends I've really had nothing to do. So I've been reading back on all my old forum posts, and you all are right...I have grown up.
I mean, there are some times when I read my old posts, usually in the Politics section, and I'm like "wow, I really knew something"...but there are some times where I read something I posted in Dating & Romance or something and I'll just be like "I really said that, didn't I? Yeah, I did. Wow." I mean, I felt this need to comment on everything everybody said in this snotty, elitist way. And I liked to bring my relationship drama with the guy I was dating who used the forums into the forums (I really can't stand people who do that). I would've gotten on my own nerves.
There were some gems though:
"Yeah, someday something will love you, don't call me honey, and good luck with your Hooked On Phonics." I truly believe this is the best thing I have ever said in my entire life, and I don't believe anything else will ever top this.
"You mean we're going to have Congressional elections, which I have been freaking out about for years...
and then three days later, the world is gonna end?
I am getting f***ing screwed."
"I AM GREEDY INDECISIVE BISEXUAL BEAST! I WILL RECRUIT YOUR CHILDREN, DESTROY THE AMERICAN FAMILY, TAKE YOUR MAN'S ATTENTION, AND GIVE YOU AIDS EVEN THOUGH I DON'T HAVE AIDS, DON'T CARE WHAT YOUR KIDS DO, DON'T GIVE A s*** ABOUT THE AMERICAN FAMILY, AND DON'T WANT YOUR MAN'S ATTENTION! I AM SO GREEDY BECAUSE I DATE PEOPLE OF BOTH GENDERS, PROBABLY NONE OF WHOM YOU WILL EVER DATE!!! MOOHAHAHAHAHAHA! THAT MAKES ME GREEDY!!! AND I AM SO CONFUSED BECAUSE I AM SURE OF WHAT I WANT!!!! MOOOHAHAHAHAHA!!! "
I guess, I mean...I was seventeen when I first joined. What else can be expected of a seventeen year old except to be bratty, angsty, annoying, a know-it-all, pissed off all the time, catty, petty....all that good stuff? I guess it's just interesting reading those posts and watching how I've grown. I haven't even gotten to 2007 yet (the real good stuff....I bet that stuff is pure gold. My God, I bet it'll be like watching a car accident) and I've noticed that from the time I joined in February of '06 to October of '06 where I am currently at I grew a little bit.
It also reminds me of how I miss the members of the "old guard" who are no longer with us....or don't show up as often at least:
- EvoPsych
- SunBabe
- PullMyFinger
- Sciurusniger
- Holding4U (she started the best threads)
- Razzired
- a funny woman I like to refer to as jeanc.....
- journeyfan
- Chinabull2000
- Spongey
- Irish
- Jankia
- ClassyBlonde
- and yes, even Bevrice....
There are so many others. So many people that just don't show up anymore that meant something to the forums at that time and meant something to me. They were friends of mine...or good sparring partners.
Now, don't get me wrong...we've got some great new members who contribute a lot but I can't help but miss these guys. Especially Sunny and Classy. They were my buddies. 
I'm glad I'm not a whiny kid anymore. So much stuff has happened to me to change me and help me grow.
(And I really can't wait to read through the 2007 stuff......)
BTW- Observed...you said something back in 2006 about a woman asking you if her butt looked bigger in pants being a loaded question. That ain't a loaded question, it's fishin' for compliments!
