2 years ago…
2 years ago I joined the hot_nerds community, more or less on my birthday. It is now my birthday again, and just for fun I would like to reflect for a moment on two years of hot_nerds-ness and how it's influenced my life. I've also added a picture, for good measure. No I am not naked.
When I joined this community two years ago, I was trying to get over the first girl I ever truly loved and if the months prior to my joining were any indication, I apparently thought that meeting up and sleeping with other girls was an awesome way to speed up that process. That wasn't so much the case, so I was mostly left with a big, big hole in my confidence (for said girl broke up with me when I *totally* didn't expect any such thing) and upon my friend sassylidge's recommendation, I joined this community to meet some people online that I would like and who would get my mind off things, perhaps it'd even help build my confidence again.
Well, it sure did. The overwhelmingly positive response on my app not only boosted my confidence, it turned me into a downright cocky asshole. So Thanks for that, you bitches!
Wait, that wasn't the post I was going to write… *scratches head*
Oh! Right.
So anyway, this community brought me a bunch of great new friends, some I've gone and met up with, one I've actually fallen in love with and though we are now no longer together, for the simple reason of the impracticality of maintaining a long-distance (4 timezones) relationship for 4 years before being able to see each other on a regular basis, we are still good friends.
There are still many more friends I've made through this community that I've yet to meet, but I'm sure that as time passes I will, in fact, meet up with many if not all of them, too.
On a different tone, this community has brought me two years of great fun, nerdy jokes, interesting info and just plain general kick-assedness. I'm in a much better place in life today than I was two years ago (about the difference between night on Pluto (it's still a planet, dammit!) and day on Mercury) and being part of this community has helped make that happen, in ways I won't describe because you're all too young to hear such things. Ahem. *cough*
For that, I thank thee all.
Shit, I guess this became sappy after all. Okay, well, we can still fix that. Look, the picture!
Wicked. Okay that's all folks.
