It seems everyone here needs one of these. I understand the appeal seeing as you get a whole new ?0? at the end of your post count which makes it look all intimidating or whatever. I?m not going to lie, it is kind of neat.
So yeah, I?ve finally made it here (due in no small part to Brovengers chat XP). I could spend this whole thread faffing about with random shout outs and name drops, but that seems kind of boring. Instead I?m going to talk a little bit about me and then ask something about you.
You see, I finally just started a full time position after being an intern for over a year. It was an interesting time for me and had its fair share of high and low points. What I realize now is how much spare time I had then and how much of it I utterly wasted. Everyone occasionally makes changes in their life and I feel like now?s a good time to start. The fact that my new job coincides with a 10k post count is just coincidence.
So what am I going to change? Well I?m out of shape and have the endurance of 1st Level Morrowind character so I?ve decided I am going to finally put forth a real effort into maintaining a workout routine every week. I?m also going to try to improve my diet. I?m a slave to comfort foods and my sweet tooth, something I have been gradually improving upon recently. I also intend to spend more of my spare time on productive/creative endeavors. I suppose writing campaigns for D&D counts as creative, but not incredibly productive. I have recently started writing game reviews again (beginning with Persona 4 and more recently Torchlight II) and I hope to do a lot more of that in the future, as a creative hobby if nothing else. Oh yeah, I?m also about to buy a new car XD
But I suppose none of that affects you guys all that much does it? Well, I doubt you?ve read this far without noticing something? different about me. Look to your left. WHERE?S THE WINKING CAT!? I figured since I am ushering in a new era for myself I?d change it up a bit. I made this new avatar with the help of Caramel Frappe?s [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/profiles/view/Caramel+Frappe] Avatar Guide [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/18.386794-A-Users-Guide-to-Creating-Your-Own-Avatar]! It?s just a goofy little scene from the same show my last avatar was from, Darker than Black. I might bring Mao back eventually? if you guys hate me too much for this? LOOK THERE IS STILL A CAT THING IN IT DON?T SHOOT ME! I figure people will recognize me less (I know I would), but that?s okay with me.

And now because I don?t want you guys tosee my true self think I am some kind of narcissistic douche I have a question for you. Have you ever gone through a self-imposed shift in your life? Maybe you had to shape up in college after fucking up your first year, maybe you?ve had a mid-life crisis, maybe you went to jail, I don?t know! I?m not you!
?
Am I forgetting something?
Oh yeah, thanks everyone ;D
EDIT: Whenever you're feeling down you can still find Mao here [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/profiles/view/Fappy]. :3
