I'd say about march 12th, 1998. 3pm.
Seriously? Gradual change towards me, will I change again? I don't know. Don't care. I've always been me, and at the same time I'm a different me than 10 seconds ago. The past is an illusion anyway... Did the past even exist? Did what I just type actually exist? Is this all someone's dream about to disappear? All I know i-

No, it's just philosophical, nothing stupid about that.madbird-valiant said:I'm pretty sure I became me when my dad's sperm pierced the outside of my mother's egg.
Seriously though, this thread is fair stupid.
I was just thinking the same thing. God I love that game.antipunt said:
Anyway, I'd post my response, but I'm too tired at the moment to think philosophically, so I'll come back tomorrow and edit this post.
That assumes we've become ourselves already, but really, we'll only know when we've truly become who we are after when were dead, and a lot of good it'll do us then.
Or maybe it's simply heading towards 1:00 in the morning, I'm tired, and trying to be overly srs about a silly question.

Both of these, really. I became my own potential during the creation of the zygote I once was, but I am always changing as a person.Soet Poet said:

Isnt this how we all are?
The day my wife first said she loved me.
Up until then I was an uncaring empty shell. Then, finally, someone cared. Which made me care. Which broke my brain. I suffered a mental breakdown, as emotions i had never known flooded my mind. Then over time i rebuilt myself into me 2.0. Over time i developed a higher level of social skills, and higher level of thought achievement as well. My capacity for learning has increased expotentially, and chose social interaction and physical study for the first few years. Lately my mind has craved language as a topic for study, but i worry, how will my thoughts work. If i learn Japanese will i lose who i am in my own mind, thinking thoughts in Japanese instead of English, so used to thinking in my own voice in English for 31 years ? Will it change how i percieve things ? or will it just be a skill i can call on ?
So that is where i am today. I now work a job were i interact with people on a daily basis, where i am valued for my personality and ability to talk to any one about any thing. Wether is just be about the weather, or as complex as personal advice on emotional matters. I am considering writting a story, and hopefully for once actually finishing it. The story set around if i had of joined the army 13 years ago as i had intended.

I would think so, but I try not to speak for others. Some people may think one specific event shaped them into who they are.Ace of Spades said:twistedshadows said:madbird-valiant said:I'm pretty sure I became me when my dad's sperm pierced the outside of my mother's egg.Both of these, really.

I was born this awesome.
I guess stuff changed a lot after school when i got my job... i work durring the night now, and suddenly fell some disturbing urge to bite peoples necks and drink their blood... Didn't see the urge to avoid sunlight as a warning, i thought that was just the natural develompent of my gamer-nature kicking in.
