Milliversary
Er, now imagine the scene: me at work, reminding myself to post in the back room before I forget, and me at home, hours later, rushing to write this because it's 9:41 and I, er, forgot. Right.
I think, hadn't last year been last year, I wouldn't bother to post, because, really, who cares about your Milliversary? It's not the same as your birthday, it's not a national holiday, it's just another year you spent at a pretendy fun time game. If you've been here three years like me it's probably time to get a life (me talking to myself, here; you know how you're always your own worst critic). But last year was last year, and I feel obligated, in a good way, to talk.
We always talk about how we've made great friends here. It's true. Over the past three years I've made (and lost) fantastic, intelligent, articulate, kind friends, and I've met people of the same caliber. Here you can throw a coin and it'll hit someone who's made of win. But, honestly, I took all that awesome for granted up until last month. Last month really and truly showed me just how wonderful everyone here is. If it weren't for you all, the friends I've made here and the people who play here, I probably would have been dead. Now, because of your encouragement, I'm making steps to get better, and already I am a lot better, as you can see by the unending chain of Simon Skinner OOMs I cannot seem to stop writing. I doubt I would've been able to do that in my previous mental state. But I digress.
I want to thank you all, every single one of you, for being awesome. If you don't think you're awesome--*thwaps* I think that enough about myself for ten bajillion people, and you're probably included in that bajillion. It does not matter who you are, who you play, and how you play. You are awesome because you are here, having fun, and sharing that fun with others, whether those others are in a large circle of friends or a small one, or whether those others are strangers. You are sharing your fun, and therefore your joy, and therefore maybe, or maybe more than likely maybe, are making that other person's day just a little bit better. And that, I think, is worth a lot.
