Five years ago I would've been in 7th grade; back then I hardly talked to anybody, never used the internet, and spent most of my free time reading or playing Nintendo 64 games. I was completely shy and pretty anti-social. That pretty much changed in 8th grade when I made some friends, and I've gradually become more and more sociable, though I still spend the majority of my time at home or at work and prefer hanging out with a friend or two than socializing with a group. I joined EoFF a little over a year ago, which feels like a pretty long time; it's incomprehensible to me to have been a member of a site like this for half a decade. I think I'd be sad to see so many people come and go, or would've left by now. But I guess it's more important to enjoy the present than reflect upon the past.
