Over 200 bbs posts, 5 fans, and a lot of buds.8-)

Don't think this counts, but according to this thread I'm in the top 100 for posts.

closing in on #89

Another thing I've managed to get. Reaching #85 in EXP. Sadly, I don't see myself gaining any additional EXP ranks until after the new year so I have a while to go until I can pass anyone else.

Congrats! It's quite an achievement. Especially since you've been active during all those years, unlike other users who took a break of a few years shortly after they signed up... ;)

At times the large contributions I've made to this site scares me. At least my life has a better focus now and it isn't being stuck at home most of the time.

I wouldn't be too sad if I could stay home more often. But my employer wouldn't like that too much, I guess. >_>

But on the other hand: I have been unemployed for a few months a few years ago and it was the worst time in my life. Not knowing what to do with your life simply sucks. So I much rather have it the way it is right now.

I can finally see Level 60!

Wait, as I'm now #69 most experienced user, does that mean a little double oral pleasure with one of the favourite females on the forums?

Wow.

Which reminds me that August marked my 10 years anniversary on the website.

HEY

8 YEARS ON NEWGROUNDS (sort of)

Also, I had an idea the other day. I sort of miss you guys, you're my internet friends. And I would really like to keep in touch with you guys :(

Here's an idea: what are the chances of we creating a Whatsapp group? Do you guys use it? Would it (unfortunately) shy the activity in this thread? I'll be back (eventually) to see the outcome of this idea.

In the meanwhile, I've been doing good. I have an internship (apprenticeship?) job on the Ministry of Foreign Relations! It's pretty awesome, considering I'm an International Relations student. The money is rather short, but the experience is pretty good.

And what have you all been up to? I'm rather nostalgic today with NG stuff :(

Just post here more often instead! :P

Why does this remind me of the Ministry of Truth? Say, does the slogan of your Minifore read something like "War is peace, Freedom is slavery, Ignorance is strength"? :P

Also, I think "internship" is the right word here. Apprenticeship would be appropiate if you'd work full time there with a chance of being fully employed once you finnished your apprenticeship.

Not much. Daily depositing my Experience, getting about 3 B/P points a day, not posting much... mainly because I work full time as a software developer now. Not that much free time left for NG, heh.

19,000 Experience.

I'm a day late, but I have officially been on Newgrounds for 4 years. I joined back in my first year of highschool, and now I'm in University, and Newgrounds is still part of my daily routine like it was back then.

Thanks for the utterly strange and fantastic years everyone.

I do get my time at home still but there is a lot I need to do. Monday-Wednesday are days where nothing happens outside the house so I may as well stay in and do stuff. My work is contracted to weekends only but if they need someone in during the weekday they're more than welcome to ask me in.

Same to you. There's many here that I wish I was still in contact with but when they leave this site and I don't have them on contacts anywhere else, there's no way of speaking to them. This is why I always want to see if anyone on here can add me on Facebook. I would suggest Twitter but considering all the depressive stuff I put on there, it's best that no-one follows it.

Working and having my night outs, although work has distracted the night outs. Can't be out as late on Friday and if I'm out Saturday, the same rule applies. I make better do with Thursday and Sunday nights providing there's no extra work the following day. As much as I hate work taking some social life away, if I get good pay on some weeks then it will mean I'm getting closer and closer to having the funds for a new laptop.

HI AGAIN

I'm in one of those "fed up with everyone" moments, where you wish everyone would just fucking explode, you know? The reason: politics. Elections for pretty much everything representative were held this past Sunday. And by God, people just KNOW how to crap all over the place when it comes to politics. Seriously, how can everyone be so reductionist and downright stupid? Disappointing.

Anyway. Dream Theater concert tomorrow. Good stuff.

Hahahah sort of, diplomacy sometimes involves lying and hypocrisy. Say for example, we condemn the Russian invasion on Ukraine, despite having them as a great economic and political partner on the BRICS bloc.

I've just deactivated my Facebook (again). I can't stand people crapping over politics, so when the elections end in three weeks, I should be back. Really, it's depressing. Angering. Saddening. Anything but good.

Of all the jobs I've had, I've never been so depressed with one like this before. There's a lot of factors that's made it hardly enjoyable for me. For starters, the location is terrible for me, particularly when Saturday mornings it's either my parents give me a lift or I have to pay 20 fucking quid on a taxi and that's a fifth of my wages for the week. That's the first issue with the job.

That's just life. Even I have mostly moved on from this site. I say mostly since I'm not as active as I used to be in the old days. Sure, I still login daily and have kept up with my depositing but it's not like in the days where I did shit tons of icons for the site. To be honest, my development with life has been for the better. I've been going outside a lot more often over the last 18 months and I have managed to make a lot of new friends over that time.

Best you can do with that kind of stuff is to unfollow those who talk about politics. You can easily unfollow someone and not unfriend them so it works wonders.

And I followed you on twitter, back when I used it :/

That was my old account. I am on a new account but I am considering abandoning Twitter. I rarely make use out of it nowadays and most of what I need to catch up on is on Facebook anyway.

I recently started up Tumblr again but with only following four people I'm not getting much out of it at this time. I'm hoping maybe I can meet new people over there who are local (or at least somewhat nearby) since I did it before but unfortunately stopped talking to a few certain people to the point where I resorted to deleting my original account.

I don't use Whatsapp and have never really thought of trying it out.

It's a great substitute for regular texting. If your other friends use it, it's useful.

Facebook tells me not many of my friends even use it. Oh well.

And do you still use that same laptop with Windows Vista and all?

Yep, it's still that piece of shit but I really do think after Halloween it will be time for me to finally get a new one. Granted, it would leave me with hardly any money for Christmas shopping but I'll have to build the money back up with getting extra hours and hopefully having my working tax credit sorted out by then.

Leveled up. Am now level 35.
Can't tell if this is a good thing or bad thing.
The good - I have more voting power and well.....other good things that go along with being this high of a level.
The bad - This kinda shows I have too much time on my hands.....same with my having 13,500+ posts.

40k experience points! I also noticed I'm only 41 points behind #50, which is surprising considering the fact that I am ranked #52. The journey from #100 to the top 50 has been such a long one. I entered the top 100 in October 2009(!) and I've missed like 1 or 2 deposits since.

Level 56! >:(

Again, I know what you mean. I've been trying for MONTHS to cut down on my overtime, but to no avail. Every Friday when I think I can leave early (I can leave as early as 1pm on Friday, except when I have to work late shift), something comes up and I have to stay until 3pm...

It's an Orwellian world. Our enemies may change, according to our convenience.

But we have always been at war with Eurasia!

Also, I think "internship" is the right word here. Apprenticeship would be appropiate if you'd work full time there with a chance of being fully employed once you finnished your apprenticeship.

Meh, I wish it would be an apprenticeship then. The way to work full time on the Ministry is a long and suffering one.

Yeah, internships suck ass. Long work hours and little to no pay.

Not much. Daily depositing my Experience, getting about 3 B/P points a day, not posting much... mainly because I work full time as a software developer now. Not that much free time left for NG, heh.

There's this one couple, we don't see anymore. Because, everytime we go out meeting other friends, they don't have time. And every time THEY go out, we don't have time. It's so annoying.

Like I heard the other day: "The shit is the same, only the flies that will change".

But that's not even what bothers me the most. The people talking about it, friendships getting sour and all the hate that floats around these debates on social medias and such. Many preach for more tolerance, though it only seems that it's only more tolerant if there's an agreement. Otherwise it's a cesspool.

Anyway. Dream Theater concert tomorrow. Good stuff.

Would love to go see them or Mindless Self Indulgence live one day.

And honestly, I'm glad I moved on. All those years of reading "go outside and get a life" to other people on the BBS... well, I have a life now.

*clap clap*

Again, I know what you mean. I've been trying for MONTHS to cut down on my overtime, but to no avail. Every Friday when I think I can leave early (I can leave as early as 1pm on Friday, except when I have to work late shift), something comes up and I have to stay until 3pm...

How many hours do you need to work weekly, minimum?

It's an Orwellian world. Our enemies may change, according to our convenience.

But we have always been at war with Eurasia!

I'm sorry, what? Eurasia are our allies, it's Eastasia we're up against! Those bastards!

Meh, I wish it would be an apprenticeship then. The way to work full time on the Ministry is a long and suffering one.

Yeah, internships suck ass. Long work hours and little to no pay.

I don't get minimum wage, for fuc'ks sake!

Do you like your job?

It's stressful from time to time, but what job isn't?

I tried thinking of a job that was never stressful right now.

I couldn't :(
