I used to over think messaging people to say hi, but I'm glad I (mostly) got past that. It helped me make some really good friends on here that I'd tag, but don't wanna embarrass :p
That's the magic of online spaces. I've had a few people in my past that I was relieved to just see alright.
I doubt I make any form of impact on anyone on this or previous iterations of myself on this board. And I'm okay with that. It's usually only a select few that make a billion posts or respond to everyone or what have you and I just never do/did that.
REbro kept shitposting on twitter to little or no effect. I stopped going on twitter. The main admin on this site decides to step down after someone accused them of improper chats with an alleged underage person.
Mattress on the floor is just living that Japanese futon life. I did it for 8 years until my futon was about 1 inch thick where the imprint of my body was and finally upgraded to a platform bed with tatami and a nice firm latex/wool futon.
Now I'm pissed whenever I'm in a hotel because all the beds are mushy shit. I need it to feel like a board with a blanket on top, dammit!
