Has it only been five years? Five years, nearly a hundred missions, a wedding, a very traumatized time lady... You've shaped a lot of what the PPC is and can be, and we're a better place for it.

Five years ago today, I wandered here via TV Tropes after reading the Original Series. I introduced myself on someone else's thread, accidentally used my own email address as a username on my own introductory thread, and proceeded to make a fool of myself while accepting everyone's newbie gifts. (I still have that potato cannon, by the way; I just need to find a reason to use it.)
Back then I was still going by RinaAndRanda (Rina) and... well, a few months after that, I switched to Iximaz and I've been going by it ever since.
Hard to believe I was just a little baby sixteen year old at the time. My twenty-second birthday is in a few months now, I've gotten engaged, I've moved to a new country... amazing to think what can happen in five years.
You guys are the best online group I've ever had the pleasure to be a part of. I've made so many friends and grown so much as a person and a writer since joining. I wouldn't have missed it for the world.
Here's to many more! *raises glass in toast*
Cheers!
*hoists tankard of root beer*
Here's to more!
You've more than deserved it.
(although it really doesn't feel like 5 years ago that I was a newbie and you'd just joined, it feels like AGES)
I think we can safely assume that we're all the better for you being here.
