Long time no... something? |

So it's been a while again. At least a year or two, or three or maybe even more. Ok maybe not THAT long, I do tend to exaggerate a bit but hey, if that's not what you want then... I'm sorry, I guess? Nevermind. I haven't even written in this journal for a long long time, since it never was -- nor it might ever be -- my strong suit, but since I'm here, might as well.
So what have I been doing? To put it bluntly, a whole lot of nothing at all. I was studying videogame programming, I was dating, we even lived together, then she left me, I dropped out of school, started working, started studying a different subject, and now I'm here. I stayed away from Gaia for a long time, since I don't really like what they've done with the place. For some strange reason, something pulled me towards here. Maybe it's nostalgia. I was viewing my friends list and most of them haven't been online since '09. Few still roam the site, but that's about it. The Finnish Guilds seem dead and I don't think I can conjure up enough time and energy to organize them back to life. Some of the old posts I've made on them made me chuckle for a while; I really was an idiot child at some point. Maybe not anymore. Maybe I've grown up. Maybe this is my goodbye to this site or maybe it's a new 'hello'.
I've been on this site since May of 2004. That's almost 11 years ago. It seems like such a long time ago. I remember when I joined, it was an entirely different site back then. I can't say if it was better or not, it certainly did not annoy me as much as it does these days. Some things haven't changed, but a lot has. I think I'm not 'in the loop' anymore and never will be so I'll just stick to doing something I know: lurking the forums and looking for an interesting conversation.
So what was the point of all this? Most of my old Guild pals are gone, the site is not the same anymore and I really feel like I'm getting too old for this site. I almost deleted my account many years ago, but at that time something stopped me. Something made me feel that maybe one day I will return here, just to remember the old times. This site was a huge part of me growing up, so it felt like throwing away a bundle of memories that I would never get back, so I didn't delete the account.
I'm glad I didn't.
I think I might write here again some time. We'll see.
