The end of an era.
I realize it has been a very long time since I've updated this livejournal. To be honest, it's probably for the better. I don't mean to disappoint anyone, but I simply cannot keep this journal up. As of now, rpgod2 is officially retired. Don't get me wrong -- I still use this account to check up on others from time to time, and also to seek or provide help through communities I've joined. I can just no longer update my personal journal, both for lack of interesting subject matter and motivation.
I'm surprised that in the past not only did I post detailed accounts of my day-to-day activities, but also that I expected people to read them. I figured recently that no one would be too terribly interested in my life, be it the old parts or the new. However, as it turns out, I've gotten compliments on my journal posts. Apparently many people have been entertained by my recorded thoughts and actions. So, before I completely shut this part of my life down for good, I wanted to give everyone sort of a "best-of" type post. Anyone who drops by this page casually ought to find something interesting in this post, and those who (possibly) want to read my old stuff will find my personal highlights here. So, without further ado, I present to you...
Top Five Favorite Posts:
(in chronological order)
1.) 04-07-2003 - My experiences pertaining to the 2003 Technology Student Association State Competition.
2.) 09-01-2003 - A random post including a walk down memory lane.
3.) 01-02-2004 - January 2004 noteworthy stories and other miscellaneous information.
4.) 01-20-2004 - A combination post of childhood memories and formation of character.
5.) 06-27-2005 - Detailed account of what was probably my most vivid dream ever.
In choosing these top five, I had to not only go through all of my livejournal posts, but to choose all the ones I felt were noteworthy. And, of course, I found more than just five to be notworthy. The rest of the posts that were considered for such a list are as follows.
09-06-2002 - A long, nonsensical post from my younger years.
09-08-2002 - Confusion over mantapart pulleys.
02-02-2003 - One of many flamewars sparked on my part, this one on the topic of The Alabama KKK, among other things.
04-27-2003 - Brief summary of my research into false awakenings.
05-02-2003 - A post centered on love and hate.
07-15-2003 - Detailed account of my thoughts while extremely inebriated.
08-17-2003 - A somewhat confusing conversation with myself.
08-27-2003 - Some fun I had making fun of myself and friends, cleverly concealed as a "stereotype quiz". Parts one and two.
10-30-2003 - A series of posts outlining my attempts to help a stranger, her ungratefulness, the thickening of the plot, my retaliation, and some fun I had before things drew to a close.
05-28-2004 - A collection of information pertaining to my childhood education.
06-05-2004 - Random post made after my sister's marriage.
That's all folks. Hope you enjoyed the journal. Take care of yourselves.
