That's right, I've finally hit the one-year mark. Ah, memories. I totally didn't realize how things worked, tried to introduce myself on another newbie's thread, and somehow ended up using my email as my first username. Whoops. I overthought everything I typed, anxiously quintuple-checked all my posts for a dreaded typo, and thought the oldbies were kind of like those celebrities who everyone talks and knows about, but never come out of their refuges except to call out the newbies.

Yup, definitely didn't realize that this place is full of some of the kindest, most intelligent, generous, creative, and passionate people I ever had the pleasure of knowing.

It's hard to believe how little time it seems like, but like the saying goes: Time flies when you're having fun, and I can't imagine a more fun place to be.

So, to all my friends- and I hope it's not presumptuous to say I consider everyone here a friend- thank you for making this last year the best of my life. Here's to many more! *pops open champagne*

A whole year? Wow, you must be fully insane now. ;)

Please, that's assuming I was sane to begin with. (nm) by Iximaz on 2015-01-23 16:26:00 UTC Reply

That's awesome! by Pretzel on 2015-01-23 06:52:00 UTC Reply

Congrats on being around for a year. It's not always easy keeping up with something like this. *Hugs* ^^

Pretzel?? Holy cow, where have you been? Unless I'm suddenly derping out really hard, I haven't seen you in forever! *hugs*

Lurking around, mainly. by Pretzel on 2015-01-23 11:16:00 UTC Reply

Oh, and work. Lots of work and school. *shakes fist at the monolith that is Real Life* I'm planning on more missions and whatnot, don't worry.

Awesome! by Iximaz on 2015-01-23 11:21:00 UTC Reply

Sucks about Real Life- I'm lucky I don't have to... yet. :/ But wow, welcome back 'n' stuff! You know what, take this plate of SPaGhetti as a welcome back gift.

And ooh, more missions?

Mmhmm. by Pretzel on 2015-01-23 11:25:00 UTC Reply

*Takes SPaGhetti*

I'm working on a DMS mission in Treasure Planet, and boy is it a doozy. Horrible formatting, minis running rampant, and one heck of a Sue. It'll be good to get back into the swing of things PPC-wise. I've missed it. My brain's also been half-eaten by a sequel to a fanfic, so there's that as well. I'm over 10,000 words in and I've got a while to go yet.

Well, good luck!

Congratulations m'lady! by Edhelistar on 2015-01-23 04:26:00 UTC Reply

Here have a bootleg copy of The One Ring, that has no conection to the other Rings, has no will of its own, and makes itself invisible instead of the user, among other glitches.

Ooh, it's so shiny! (nm) by Iximaz on 2015-01-23 04:45:00 UTC Reply

Yesss, yesss, the preciousss isss ssshiny! (nm) by Edhelistar on 2015-01-23 17:31:00 UTC Reply

Eeee! Congrats congrats congrats! by TheShyIon on 2015-01-23 03:19:00 UTC Reply

Here! Have a disappearing kitten. Your description actually matches my own original anxieties pretty much exactly, by the way. It's kind of freaky.

Also, have a bag of complementary catnip and catnip toys. :)

Maybe it's the Newbie Syndrome? by Iximaz on 2015-01-23 03:45:00 UTC Reply

Those nervous first few days before realizing nobody's going to kick you out for a little typo, y'know?

And ooh, a kittie!! *immediately ties on an urple ribbon with a bell* I shall name him Mr. Bigglesworth. *cuddles*

Congratz! by foofooman3 on 2015-01-22 20:43:00 UTC Reply

Happy anniversary! This last year has definitely changed you. Now I can torture you with only two words! I have also seen your writing skills develop and had a good laugh with you about your old fanfic. I wish you the best of times.

He really can. by Iximaz on 2015-01-22 20:47:00 UTC Reply

And if he dares post them I'll write bad slashfic about him and the Goblin King. >:)

To everyone else: this kid laughed when I read him C*l*b*i*n. Laughed. Make of that what you will.

Dude, C*l*b*i*n was hilarious! by World-Jumper on 2015-01-22 21:16:00 UTC Reply

I am not even kidding, the descriptions were just so bad, I could not help but laugh at them. Not quite "My Immortal" unintentional hilarity, but close. Then again, I don't know LoTR all to well, so perhaps I am missing some of the horror that is supposed to be there.

...Now, 120 Days of Blueblood, on the other hand...

The Legendary Badfics *are* hilarious. by TheShyIon on 2015-01-23 03:03:00 UTC Reply

Just ask my parents... all the laughter when I was reading through them. They, however, were not amused.

Mainly because I kept disturbing dinner with excerpts of "My Immortal" and other such things.

Happy anivercery! by World-Jumper on 2015-01-22 20:33:00 UTC Reply

One whole year. You know, I think I have technically been on this board for two, maybe three years. To be honest, I lost track of time.

I am certainly glad that you decided to stay on this board. Things would be a lot more boring without you around.

...Now about that crossover mission. I know, I disappear for several months, and I complain about you not being on in four days.`Still, I'm waiting for you to write the next part of the mission. Take your time, just, you know, letting you know.

Now, enough business talk. Celebration time!

Right, sorry! by Iximaz on 2015-01-22 20:38:00 UTC Reply

I just kind of got on a roll with My Inner Life (I'm finishing it up now as a matter of fact!) and got distracted. I'll post some more later, how's that sound?

And thanks! I try very hard to not be boring. :) I still have the crystal Rainbow Dash figure you gave me as a newbie present, did you know?

Happy one-year anniversary of your joining the Board! :)

Here, have a scientifically accurate Dimorphodon! Perfect for taking care of any pest problems around the house!

That is awesome. by Iximaz on 2015-01-22 19:57:00 UTC Reply

I shall name it Falshida, in honor of your first agents.

I am truly flattered. by SkarmorySilver on 2015-01-23 04:05:00 UTC Reply

And as always, best of luck with your future endeavors! :)
