I just kinda hate the whole "being the newb" and coming in when everyone else has been around since the dawn of time and are all bffs and whatnot and having to go through the whole process of going from being the newbie to being considered a regular or whatever. And considering that most places I frequent, I've been the last newbie to register and actually stick around, so I'm always gonna be stuck with that label.
Gosh. A lot has changed since I posted that.

I've kind of found my footing here after almost a year. I'm no longer the newb, but the newbs that've become regulars recently have seemingly fallen into the EoFF culture much easier than I did. ToriJ, EtcherSketcher, and Kalevala to be a little specific.. AlaynaMae has stuck around so far and posts some - and that's awesome as well.

And I've switched to talking more in #eoff than I post in the forums lately (I'm numero uno chatter right now, y'all..lol), but I like it there. Sure, conversations can get deep at times, but for the most part, it's light-hearted and fun. And I'm really grateful to have been able to get closer to people here over the past few months. The amount of love and support that I got when my mom passed away helped & meant a lot to me (& still does).

But yeah.. I've gotten to know & become friends with people I didn't really expect to. And I'm thankful for that. EoFF is most definitely a huge part of my life now.
