I notice no reply from Doom yet. I think he is afraid that his cover has been blown. I know the truth!!!

I've been here since SG2K (Ent' told me about this place :D), and yeah I know what trev' means.... I was away from SG for a long time in 2k2 2k3 (actually, I wasn't posting much, but reading sometime...), but it has had a big impact on my life. I probably would have given up on English at University after 2 years if it wasn't for SG, and I wouldn't be living in England right now... @_@

The only thing I regret on SG is that we never actually managed to force Doom to post a mp3 of him playing the violin :(

Like bowning. He has a car and his own studio. I can't believe there isn't a girl that wouldn't fall just for that. :(

Well, I WOULD pick up the violin again, but I never seem to have time to... and as far as motivation goes, I obviously don't have confidence in my abilities and every time I start to play I'm like "bleh I suck" and put it down again. :D

You could always make time if you really wanted to do it, I think. It's just about priorities. That's how I feel sometimes when I try to play hockey after not playing for so long, but as long as I stick wtih it and play a few times a week, I gradually learn everything again and can start working on new stuff :E

It sure doesn't. The word should be "lest." :nono

Alternatively, he could go join Cal in the UK. ;)

He will forget you exist unless you rub it in his face that you are playing hard to ger. that might work.

Try really obvious things like saying, "Doom, I'm playing hard to get.".

I'm just gonna copy and paste my reply to this same thread over at WF because I'm a lazy sonuvabitch. BTW this is Soma. :)

I'm not gonna get all cheesy and stuff.

I really can't remember when I first got involved in the community. I just remember talking with Shaun and a bunch of others through a mailing list and junk. Then came Omega, and SG, and whatever else.

I've made tons of friends throughout the years since I got the net...back in 1998? I really have shoddy memory. Point is, since first using the net, I've made friends from a variety of places. I know a ton of people. Some of these people are no longer my friends, whether it was something they did that was shitty or something I did that was shitty.

I've had falling outs with people from our community, and either things were resolved or let go, or I never heard from those people again. I've been in this community longer than any other (Digital Flare is a close second). Any other community I was in before or at the same time I'm no longer apart of. I've had more falling outs/bullshit occur at communities I joined LONG AFTER I joined this one. The majority of people I know today are from this community. The majority of people I keep in touch with today I've gotten to know through this community.

Some of you guys I haven't talked to in ages, but I still consider you my buddies. Some of you I've gotten very close to, perhaps closer than most people I get to see in the flesh. Some of you have known me long enough to remember what a brat I used to be, and you stayed my friends despite that.

Oh, it got cheesy after all.
