years later I checked to see if it was still there
it actually was
That's why I deleted my Live and Deadjournals. I'd remember about them every couple of years and go look at them and fuck me did I write some embarrassingly stupid shit. I was such a creepy, whiny weirdo that I'm surprised I ever made any friends.
See, I kinda want to delete mine, but then I'm like, eh, perspective.
I seriously laughed for days when that happened.
My username is actually from back then!
Well, I deleted them more to keep anyone else from ever finding them. I could handle reading them myself but I would die from embarrassment if someone else found them.
I had this in mind as a teenager, I didn't want to become that guy who posts stupid crap I don't understand on the web to be embarrassed by later
Recently I figured out my life would probably be better getting that experience under my belt
Embrace the embarrassingly short-sighted rants
I hid mine in an encyclopedia after an hour with a photocopier, some paper, and a pair of scissors.
Long story short, I gave my dad a forged report card.
You fuckin' grade school macgyver
Then was in a rpg on a Zoids-only forum
started reading a buuuuunch of anime fanfics at one point
participated in some chat rooms
RP'd a little on WoW
and attempted countless times to write some romance original fiction online but that never stuck, just ended up cultivating a group of favourite authors I followed
Never made a livejournal, or blogspot, or any kind of account for that stuff because I had the foresight to consider the future ramifications
No livejournals, small myspace page....
I've kind of wallowed in my own lack of motivation to improve anything, telling myself I'm dumb or not worth earning anything for myself anyway.
So much so that I'd become that ideal moron, because I'm a good liar if nothing else, good enough to convince myself that I am stupid.
I'm not stupid, I learn from my mistakes and sometimes am pushy or sly about getting things the way I want.
I've made a fair number of mistakes too, I've hurt people's feelings, I've taken people for granted, I've built my life around a number of compulsive desires to simply get things I don't deserve or to eat things that are killing me.
So here I am, about 10 years out from 9th grade, the last time I attended a school and all I can do still is post on the internet and think about the eternal existential struggle that is the human condition rather than climb off my huge ass and do something about anything.
He also wrote a Super Smash Bros: Melee erotic fanfiction with a custom ending for every one of his friends.
Edit: I legitimately wish to Christ I was making this shit up.
my brother wouldn't speak to me for weeks.
The poor guy doesn't have it easy and I've had trouble relating and wasn't exactly making it easier on him.
you might have outed him, but you didn't change the thread title to point it out, lock it and put it in the chatlogs
some days I regret that as sort of a bully move
other days I laugh and laugh and laugh
Look man at least you recognize it was fucked up now
better that than you still thinking it was some awesome burn or something
everyone's a shithead when they're younger, what's important is recognizing it and not doing that shit again
I couldn't do it at home or at school, and I didn't have scissors.
So I stopped at a friend's house to borrow their scissors, and immediately walked to a cornerstore that had a coin-operated photocopier.
so that wouldn't have worked
Because I then went to school and told my friends how awesome Ash was because an Ekans bit Misty and poisoned her, but he sucked out the poison to save her life and they totally fell in love.
My friends -never- said anything about it to me.
I would rather play tony hawk than read the boring books and be around all those shithead other kids and the system that was treating me like a kidney stone.
I actually considered it briefly for fun, but realised quickly that they were taking it waaay too seriously and thought I'd definitely best not jump down that rabbit hole.

You know, Sailor Earth/Terra.
and it was 6 years old and we had aol (which took up most of the 1 gig hdd)
I spent some time on little chatrooms and stuff with some stupid dbz name but like most of those years I don't remember much, I don't know if it's because I was so depressed or because I choose not to remember on some level, but what you gonna do?
Now my friends all call me gay for listening to Marina and the Diamonds and I protest and tell them that I'm straight despite... well...
You know...
He was all, trying to get me to RP squeeze him reeeaaally tight and I was like, "ok? i'm squeezing you really tight now" completely oblivious to the fact that he was supposed to be getting off to this.
Eventually he figured out that he was mistaken about my hidden desires and sort of left awkwardly and I asked someone else in the chat room what was up with him and they told me and I was like, "oh. OOOHHHHHHH"
it helped my creativity so I don't regret it
XBox LIVE: Bogestrom | Destiny
PSN: Bogestrom
was there actually 77 other eternal dragons?
Before we started dating my girlfriend creeped my live journal.
Year 2000 Bucketman was a moron
Man I dunno, but there was at least one and Yahoo was like "Here just take this user id"
I also wrote many, many chapters of my brother and I's Mary Sue characters traveling around Kanto (before we knew it was called that) with Ash, Misty and Brock and later I took the same characters and inserted them into a "dark" pokémon world that was so anime it hurt. It involved lots of violence and people in cloaks and an evil empire that had taken over the world.
I've kept in contact with one of those former messageboard friends over the years and it has been the longest friendship I've ever had with someone that I've never actually physically met. His gimmick was that his pokémon was a magikarp and he'd slap people with it. We sure loved the random humor back then.
It was awesome. You could construct your own planets, travel in a space ship... um... macros? God, I was starved for entertainment...
I remember getting IMed occasionally by strangers saying they'd seen me at "role-play.com" or .net or some similar site name and would ask to role-play with me. I had no idea what they were talking about and every time I'd ask what that site was they'd go silent and never respond. I decided to play-along once to figure out where it all went and agreed to some James Bond-inspired rp with a lady but freaked out and told her that I was just 13 and I had to go.
I still have no idea what that was all about.
It wasn't chat based though, it was forums and shit.
Basically there would be this fake Internet wrestling promotion and people would make fake wrestlers and roleplay as them doing promos and interviews and stuff.
I spent probably close to a decade on that stuff. Even ran a PA e-fed for a while a few years back.
