Are you sure? Because I specifically remember playing as Lizardman when I played the game. I live in the U.S by the way.

I completely forgot about the 'Fried outfit...Now that I think about it, I did use it sometimes, thinking that Nightmare was a person, and not just Siegfried being controlled by Nightmare. I have since learned that it was not the case. I never did unlock all of Nightmare's weapons, I mainly just played Link and Lizardman (Why Lizardman? I've no idea to this day.). I should get the game again sometime and try a 100% playthrough...Street Fighter X Tekken comes first for me, though. For years have I wanted to see Ryu Shoryuken Jin upside the head.

I know, back then, all I did with Link was forward -> Y, or the front grab where he twists the opponent's arm and swipes them away. I was quite young when I played SCII, and Nightmare always scared the everloving crap out of me. Mainly the eye on Soul Edge.

Ah, memories.

I was using Chrome, which apparently /youtube tags don't work in. I switched to Firefox and it worked. Ah well, nothing's perfect I guess.

Anyway: SO MUCH NOSTALGIA! And Link. Dear God, I miss Link. My day = Made.

I'm sorry, but what is it? I just see a black box on my screen.

Alright. I'll keep that in mind. Thanks DT.

Well, I'm flattered by the offer, but I don't know if I'll be able to keep up with all the posts and characters. It's hard enough for me as is, given the fact that I barely know half of them.

I'll consider it.

Wow, that was a pretty interesting joke. XD

I would tell you mine, but I can't think of any. I know, who starts a conversation when they can't even contribute? It doesn't make any sense. XD

Anyway, I gtg. ttyl!

Well then, let's think about something else. :)
What's the funniest joke you've heard recently?

So then, enough about me.
How are you doing? I haven't really talked to you for a couple weeks. You doing okay?

Haha, okay, I will. I promise, I'll do everything I can to become the best I can possibly be within that time. And I am very careful with my promises, I only give them when I am sure I can deliver.

Well, that among other things.
You see, I don't want to be another statistic. If 19 is the age when I'm supposed to be wasteful, then I don't want to be the standard 19 year old. Yeah, I'm not drinking 'til I fall over or attacking police or anything, but being "better by comparison" is not what I aim to be. I aim to be the best I can be, not merely better than some.
When I play a video game, I don't aim to be better than my opponent. I aim to be better than I used to be. My favorite video game is a game called Pitfall Harry: The Lost Expedition. I've beat that game a hundred times probably, I'm definitely better at that game than anyone I know. But I'm not satisfied with that. I need to be better than I was before. Every time I play, I break my record for total game-time. Last time I played, I completed the storyline within four and a half hours. Next time I play, I'll probably hit four. I know that's probably silly, I know that my beating the game faster doesn't get me any further in my life, but I do it anyway, because that's just who I am.

I'm not the type of person who is satisfied with "better than most," I have a drive in me, I have a need, to be better than I used to be. I need to be best, I am not satisfied until I have reached the peak, the limit of my abilty. I don't judge myself by comparing who I currently am to the people I see around me. I judge myself based on who I think I could one day become. And I think that if I wanted to, I could become anything I wanted to be. I might be rather arrogant, but that's the truth. If I set my mind to it, I think I could just about become the President of the United States. Not that I want that job, I really don't, but I think I could get there if I wanted to. So I'm not satisfied being jobless, moneyless, and uneducated. I need to strive.

Also, something that the preacher said at the funeral really caught my attention. When he was talking about my great-grandfather, he said "He was a very special guy. They don't cut 'em from that cloth anymore." He said pretty much what you did. "Times are a little different now anyway. While he was able to live a full life, doing so yourself now would entail quite a difference between you and him." In this world today, people don't make as big of a difference as they used to. They don't live as full of lives. But that's because they think this way. You're right, I'll never be my great-grandfather. I won't be able to do the things he did, I won't be able to tell the same stories he told. But that doesn't mean that I can't make my own. He made his legacy, and affected the lives of everyone around him. To not even try to build my own legacy simply because nobody else in my generation is willing to build theirs is foolish.

I can't give up before I even start, just because I'm "supposedd to be wasteful." It's just not me. And if I fail, I fail. But then it's because I wasn't good enough, not because I didn't try. I'll never be my grandfather. I can accept that. But I want to show people that I can be cut from the same cloth, that I can build a legacy of my own, that I can become better than "better." I want to be able to show the people of my generation that you don't have to conform to the standard, that if you set your mind to it, you can become great. You can achieve what you thought was unachievable. You don't have to waste your life like everybody else. I want to show people that productivity and resourcefulness are not quite as hard to come by as they were made to believe. That's my greatest goal. I'm not going to be able to complete that goal within the year, but by achieving my short term goals, I'll be able to come closer to that one, my final goal, which is to show people that they, too, can become great if they can learn to break the standard and just try.

That Darrrrling was beautiful xD Although... what do regenerations smell like? O.o I don't tend to wash my regenerations.

Well that's good, at least you haven't lost all contact.

And I believe I can help you with that:

I know how you feel. I had a friend years ago who I spent basically all my free time with. He was like a bro to me. But, unfortunately he had to move away, which was very hard to deal with at first. But over time I found other ways to stay in touch with him, which really helped.

Alright. I just to make sure my friend can make it through their tough times as painlessly as possible. I'd be pretty upset too if you left and didn't come back for a long time.

Hey, how's it going? I don't mean to be a spy or anything, but I noticed you're a little upset about a friend of yours leaving the site. I just want you to know, If you ever need someone to talk to, I'll be here. Or, if you'd rather I kept my mouth shut, I can do that too.

Ok! Thank you for participate.

Hey, DT-chan. Have you received my PM?

Man, why do goodbyes have to be so hard? It almost makes me wish I'd never gone on this site, so it wouldn't hurt so much to say goodbye. But, I guess a goodbye is a good kind of pain, because it shows that there's something out there you really care about. Yeah, I'd rather feel the sting of a goodbye and have someone to say goodbye to, then to have lived without friends and never miss them.

Ugh, I'm babbling. Goodbyes always have that affect on me. I do deep thinking when I say goodbye. Which, really is why I'm leaving the site right now. The reason I was "On vacation" was because I had to travel out of state to attend my great-grandfathers funeral. He was a man who lived a full life. Two kids, four grandkids, fifteen great-grandkids, and old friends and a brother, and cousins, and they all had stories of him and what he did with his life. A slideshow of his accomplishments, little memories shared between us of the huge impact he had on all of us. I need to start doing things worth telling about. I hope I don't die 'til I'm ninety, like him, but when I do die, I want people to tell stories about me. I want my slideshow to comprise of more than a laptop.

Ugh, I'm babbling again. XD
