Where I've been

Communities Blog

Greetings.

I guess i'm making this blog post as a place to look back on what I've been doing and What I've done in the past few months. As some of you may have noticed I used to be a very frequent poster on the forums long ago but have sulked into lurking these last 5 months, only to start back up now. I want to talk about or atleast type here what been going on in my life.

QuakeCon & Work. I went to QuakeCon and I brought friends, we had lots of fun, played a lot of games with the community and I got some frags. But right around that time I also got a promotion at my Job, As some of you may know I work at my local Microcenter. Starting this past august I have been working regular 45-50Hr 5day weeks, on top of a daily hour long commute. This has seriously cut into my free time and my forum time.

Drama. I grew up in a household with two older sisters, a younger sister, and parents who divorced early in my secondary schooling. I've been exposed to a lot of Drama and my only real sanctuary was to isolate myself and avoid it all together. This took the shape of my presence on the forum when i first joined. Looking back it comes as no surprise to me that I've been away from the forum for so long. I loved this community and put a lot of effort into it, only to see it split made me retract. I'm sorry but that's how I am.

January. With retail work slowing down after the holiday season and drama settling down (for the most part) I can come out of my shell and enjoy sharing technology and the forum again. I miss the forum and want to be part of it again, there are a lot of new faces I dont know and want to know.

Tech. In this time away from the forum my love for technology didn't stop. I upgraded my PC recently and even got a new camera. These are things old me would post about frequently and give my opinions. I will get back to doing this so i can not only enjoy the technology but share it with all of you. Since Quakecon I've purchased a 450D, Nikon D500, 960Pro, 6850K, and Oculus Touch. <Should I make mini-reviews giving my thoughts on these things?>

It's good to be back. (I think)

<><><> I will use this thread to post little bits of what I've been up to <><><>

Welcome back!

I can't say I've ever seen anyone make chainmail (does the way you spell it make it a different type/styleor anything?) so that's awesome.

Glad to see ya back! One of the best things about this community is you can be gone for a year, have it split, be gone yet another year, then just come back and basically find everything to be as it always was.

@NJM1112 you've been marked down as dead, you must provide 3 forms of identification along with the testimonials of two family members to prove you are not dead.

My posting activity is still low, but hey Atleast im not gone for 3months.

January has come to a close and I've been thinking a lot about personal finance. I'm 20, still living with my parents, i pay rent (marginally cheaper). I really need to get myself my own car and build my credit. Atleast my savings account is doing fine. Oh hey! a W-2 in the mail, Time to see how much my return is.

In other news I bought Deus Ex: MD the other day and I need still need to play it. I'll still be playing Overwatch but I hope to take up MD on my days off.

Wish I wouldn't need a car, it's expensive as balls, I'd rather ride the bus.
Also wish I'd live with my parents, paying for my own place is expensive as balls.
