AHAHAHAHAhaha I was **** morbidly obese I just pretended I could skateboard to be cool. In reality my skateboarding ability equated to owning but never using a fancy deck, playing too much Tony Hawk and listening to punk rock on loop. Until I fell into the Emo crowd gahaha
Yes, I "outwitted" people who called me a noob on Runescape. My God. Hello /r/iamverysmart

I'M BLOODY D Y I N G. I seriously cannot believe I ever took myself this **** seriously. Like I'm not going to deny that childhood was hell for me but I can't even fathom being this 2edgy4u obese emo kid any more. There's so much worse in my post history, I was an absolute **** to everyone who did anything even slightly wrong on here. I have a bloody SONIC avatar. My god. I want to erase all traces of this stain on my social media presence but I won't, it's too hilarious. This isn't even the worst I acted on a forum as a kid.
It's a shame I don't have any screenshots or media of my time on Habbo, i was nowhere near as adamant as I should have been about backing up my files from back then. I never considered that Imageshack might die, that I'd stop caring about my website and ditch it. I still have access to the account I used to use but it's long since had it's furniture inventory raided. I suppose that £100 I charged to my Mum's phone bill was for nothing gahahaha.
As much as I acted like I hated everyone though, I can't lie... My life would be significantly worse if I hadn't joined here, I may not even have made it to the point I am at today. I don't think I would have. I met the best and most constant friend I have ever had on this forum, we're not always in contact as much as I'd like but whenever I really needed someone to prevent me going over the edge she has always been there. She saved my life in more ways than one.
Over a decade ago I made a pixel "art" version of my High School Uniform which led to her figuring out we went to the same school and her suddenly approaching me in the lunch room. I thought it was a joke because at that point I was still stuck in the mindset that everyone was against me.
Somehow, even though I was a massive dick to her at first, she still pursued me as a friend. I don't know why. I wouldn't have. But I'll never stop being thankful for that, I love her to bits and I'm damn proud of her. We rarely if ever get sappy but bugger it. I'm feeling nostalgic now. She knows who she is.
I feel the need to apologize to anyone who interacted with this version of me though, like really. I'm still a massive chode but I'd at least hope to think I'm an honest chode.
