In six days I'm going to be taking the most important exam of my life. Realizing how big of a milestone that day will be, it's naturally made me think back deeply on my last few years. Some events come more vividly to mind than others: making new life-long friends, beginning the only two relationships I've ever been in, sobbing through the end of both of those relationships, drastically changing my plans for the future, and seeing friends and loved ones die. Lots of ups and downs were had, but one constant throughout that time -- save for a few periods of absence -- was being on this website. It may seem silly -- hell, it probably does -- but this forum really has strongly impacted my life. Over the years it may have gone through more face lifts than most of Hollywood, but it's largely remained the same -- no matter what the veterans may try to tell you. Having this place as an anchor to a simpler time in my life is something I'm genuinely grateful for. Even if a lot of my old war buddies have gone, there are still a lot of you on here that I consider friends. Even those of you that don't know me or only know me as an acquaintance give this community the qualities that originally drew me in. This is really becoming more of a sappy ramble than I intended it to be. I guess what I'm trying to say is, thanks. Thanks a lot. Goodnight, KH-V.
hey man, i miss the beans out of you and i'm glad we're friends. life's taken us in different directions, but i've always got your back whenever you need me.
