longshot
11-19-2004, 05:31 AM
I'm not a huge fan of the "goodbye post" medium, but, I figured after over a solid year of posting, I owe people some parting thoughts.
The PC, as a whole, is a great place. The ability to talk to so many different people is something that's really helped to keep me grounded. So, I wanted to say thanks to all of you. When times are tough, as they have been adjusting to certain aspects of Japan, and when they are real tough, like coming back to the states, this place has always allowed me to feel a little more at peace.
Recently, I've been in standardized test hell... On Monday, I take the GMAT, which is the test to enter MBA programs. Most of the prep work has been online. I've spent an unhealthy amount of time studying for this. I'm a bit scared for the results,... because I've really put in a lot of work. If I screw it up, I can take it again, but it'd be a serious blow to my confidence, given that I've never really put this much time into any one thing. My minds a bit fragmented, but I'm sure you've all noticed.
So, given the unusual amount of stress that I've been under, and that all my time has been spent going over stuff online to study for the test, the PC has been my break time for the last three weeks. When I've been here, I haven't used that time wisely... I definitely crossed over the line from witty and insightful to cruel. So, sorry if I've blasted you. You probably deserved something...;) But, I will say that I've gone a bit overboard, and dealt out some... "disproportionate" responses.
So, anyways, I will do my best to say something somewhat meaningful.
To Chadj-
You have a lot of potential. Don't screw it up. Seriously, you're not a bad looking kid, and you're not an idiot either. I just get the feeling by that you could go either way at this point. If in 6 years I heard that you were hired by a big company with an important job, I wouldn't be surprised. On the other hand, if I heard that you were assistant manager at a fast food restaurant and impregnated one of the 16 year old employees, I wouldn't be surprised either. Get your head on straight... you don't get another crack at life, and it can be real easy to fuck up when you get older.
Anticor--
You crack my shit up. Don't ever loose your sense of humor. Most people spend their whole lifetime searching for what they want to do... you found it, and now, you no longer can do it. This would crush most people, and effect almost every part of their life, but you've found a way to deal with it. I don't know how... I wish I did though. I think were pretty close in age, but you seem lightyears ahead of me in so many respects. I need a WWAD bracelet... seriously...
Ranger-
You haven't posted in awhile, but if you read this, be safe. Take care man.
Michiko- The queen of the dorks, and I mean that in the best way possible. You've got a REALLY lucky boyfriend. You're a real sweetheart. I've got nothing but great things to say. The last thing I want to do is make this into an "OMG UR TEH HOTT!!11" kinda thing... But, I do think you're more beautiful than hot. This is a good thing.
CT- Don't ever hold back in anything. I think CT could totally rock the world of any guy on these boards:yes: Me included. Thanks for all your kind words.
Warclaidhm- You might want to try fasting and cleansing with repeated colonics rather than boot camp. It might remove all the crayons and paste impacted in your colon that are making you retarded.
Tamral- I'm sorry for suggesting that you would take your Bush tax cut dollars and spend them at the titty bar. I thought it was funny, but I guess you didn't. Anyways, I've always thought you've had interesting things to say, even if I don't agree with all of them. You're a good guy. Don't take me so seriously.
Edine, Dave- Remember, everything in life comes down to perspective. It's not all black and white. Even if you don't believe that, pretend you do... it will get you a lot further. I always liked roleplaying with the "edine" character. Anyways, be safe. Take it easy on "the civilians" when you get to leave base.
PB- I enjoy everything you have to say. As far as political stuff, you're right in line with like 99% of my family. And, if I didn't go to Japan for two years, me as well. (I think it's the food over there... it changes your thinking and makes you mispronounce words) Don't change. Be good. You crack me up, but you know this already.
Snapp- The one who used so many of my quotes for sigs. Sorry if I went overboard these last few weeks. Remember the good things... like washing your hands before wiping your tears away, because chocolate is bad for your pores.
Klaive- Someone asked me in a recent thread why I never posted a picture with my face. It's because you're sitting there with adobe photoshop open and a pre-cropped cock... waiting. I'm sure you're reading this through your powerful wall of empty mountain dew 20oz, and towers of cup noodle. I wish you'd grow up, find meaningful employment, and leave your basement. I understand there is a zero percent chance of those things happening though.
Weedie- Thanks for being a sweetheart. I can't point out anything specific to say at the moment, but you'll be missed.
Cailynia- Don't be so sensitive. The only reason I ever screwed with you was because of your dead baby jokes flipout. You gotta breathe... then post. I think it's cool that you're doing what you want to do, with being a mom and all. I think it's a bunch of crap that you get to stay at home all day simply by being born with a vagina.., but, live it up I guess. All that should matter is what you think. You shouldn't have to justify anything to anyone.
Leloo- Good luck in school. May your life be full of things that end in "ies". Kitties, puppies, candies, chewies... You do make me laught, but it's more of in the me watching MXC laughing at you kinda way, rather than the laughing with you way. This isn't your fault though... I'm just a bit full of myself.
Hulkein-- If I see you at a sporting event, please don't wound me with a battery and/or snowball. Don't ever take shit for your politcal views either. God knows what I'd be saying if I had to grow up in Philadelphia. My heart goes out to you...
Tayre- Nothing beats a good Tayre bitch session. It's something I really look forward too, and something I'll miss. "Hell hath no fury like a Tayre been scorned". I fuck with Tayre when I first came to the boards... he took it really well though. I remember being incredibly hungover trying to roll up a character with Peams autoroller thing in the chat. We never even started playing! Oh well... it's not like I was able to do anything other than throw up that day. Oh that was a rough day...
Peam- Keep being Peam.
Sean- Two words buddy. Estrogen Blockers. You've seen Fight Club, right? Those titties will someday be yours...
Tijay- I always liked reading what you had to say. I think you absolutely hated the negativity that sometimes brought, but you still never said anything about it. So, sorry man. If end up in NYC, I'm asking for your help.
Tsa'ah- You, like Anticor, have your shit together. I someday will figure this out. I will channel my energy for something constructive, and it will make me happy. It's always good to see you cut someone to pieces. I admire that. Thanks for the support when I was in Japan. If I write a book about what went on in Japan, I'll send you a copy. BTW, how's the guitar going?
To the Brits, Stray and Nen- You guys need some sun. And some food.
Xcalibur- My favorite gemstone moment of all time was killing your rat scripting whore character while a GM was watching. I'm a bit ashamed to admit how satisfied it made me feel after I learned it was you. It almost felt as good as killing Garr. Enough Gemstone though... you're clearly insane.
Bratt- while all of my other assessments of you may or may not be true, you are a drama queen. I'll leave it there.
Jenisi- May you live happily ever after with your webcam. I hope the PC provides all the self esteem to get out of Gary. Get out of Gary... do not pass go, do not smell whatever crap it is they mine there, just go.
Shalla- The popcorn icon was made for you.
Harmnone- You're way too nice. Even to me.
Kranar- You run a good show. Thanks.
Arkans- FUCKING PWND!!!!!!111 Everytime you post, I think of that Paulie Shore movie... Encino Man. You had to have thawed out of a block of ice. I think you're proud of this though...
Spun- Good luck on your interview. If I'm ever in Vegas, I'll stop in to make a withdrawl from the craps table. I'm unstoppable!
Maimara- You will not corrupt me! No tattoos for me.
If I didn't mention you, it's because it's late, and I just can't think of anything to say right now: This would be Edaarin, SHM, and other longtime posters that I've really appreciated.
Anyways, I gotta run. It's been real.
I'll check my U2U's a couple of times, so if you want, please contact me there.
