Watching *BBC|I Fling Poo use their message board for some catharsis and comfort during this difficult time showed me how much this community can mean to people. How we who have never met each other can touch each others lives. Aaron/Afternburner put a post in the thread mentioning that using the forum as a journal was an excellent idea, so I took it an ran with it.
If you want to see Poo's post which was the inspiration, be warned that it is a sad occasion, you can find it here:

Cool
Cool, I totally forgot about "The Journal" suggestion until I just read my post again. Maybe I'l even be the first to utilize this helpful tool.
I will bullet point my current status so you can all get a rough picture of what Im all about.
*24 yrs old, not married no kids.
*recently resigned my job (September) at a place called National Money Mart as an Area Manager/ because of the political backstabbing that began to take place as I reached for the next promotion ahead of me.
*Currently working odd small jobs for financial support but still looking for career potential.
*got a girl for 6yrs now, this is the toughest year weve had. Shes getting a little crazed. Recently changed her birth cotrol pills for the first time in five years so that has added to the fire of hormonal unbalance. Im hangin in...I think....
*ummmm, Parents divorced - all friendly, and alive. no probs.
*5 brothers and sisters
Thats all i can think of right now, open to questions.

Okay, I know this topic is probably as old as pants with pockets, but it's the first time I noticed it so I figured I'd put in my info as well.
Name: Rob
Age: 17
Marital Status: Girlfriend (a half of a year now)
Sex: Male
Other: Senior at Saint John Neumann High School in Philadelphia, PA
Hobbies: Video Games, Basketball, phone, spending time with my precious Amanda :infinity:
Favorite Games: Final Fantasy VII, Soldier of Fortune 2
Siblings: Little sister, 9 years old.
Parential Status: Married. All good.
I'm the kind of guy that is "too sensitive". I get really into my feelings... and start saying really deep crap. It's good in a way, but also bad. Oh well, whatever. I also say awesome a lot.
That's all I can think of. Open to questions.

I was this close>>> to doing this but I got tired and it seems an awful lot of typing and a bit of thinking, and I generaly don't do either to any proficient degree so your stuck with what you know about me till I find something (or make something up) interesting about myself....Love SOF2 tho....GET THE SERVER FIXED!!!!!!!! I WANNA PLAY....lol
I hope I didn't brain my damage - homer j
Hm.
Age: 17
Height: 5'10
Marital Status: Lonely
Gender: It's a 50-50 shot, take a guess
Occupation: Unemployed, last year of High School
Hobbies: Sleep, Food, Video Games, Drawing, Swords
In the Future: Got the shaft by picking some crap colleges. Gotta go to one of them.
No more than a year ago, I would have been the biggest lurker everywhere, I said nothing, did nothing. I'd just go where I had to, do what I had to, and leave. No one bothered me. Most people thought I was crazy, and would go on a murderous rage if anyone did more than look at me.
Now I won't shut the hell up, and it seems that I am the funniest guy in a ten-mile vicinity. I kind of liked it better when everyone left me alone. Oh well, I've got a big afro (huh?).
