Something's telling me I'll be banned for this, but whatever. I don't even think many of you have even heard of me
So I joined FP in late '08, mostly just for the "famous" people like -DMGaina- or Overv(who are friends of mine now). I didn't really realize what I was getting into. Of course, I found out how addicting this forum is. Good topics, lotsa laughs, helpful people when it comes to times of danger, from viruses on computers to friends being pregnant. I'm going to discuss how FP shaped certain parts of my life over the past year.
[b]Computers/Internet[/b]
I have to say, I think FP was the impetus of my interest with computers. I've into "technology stuff" since I was nine years of age, and, with some learning online, now I work at Geek Squad. I gave up interest most video games (I do programming in GMod). Whenever I'm not doing homework, I'm pushing myself in more productive computer activities, like programming, movie making, or modelling.
[b]People[/b]
I've made more friends this year than any other. This has been a good and bad thing, and (as bizzare as this may seem) I screwed up three close relationships with three girls over the course of four months. I think Facepunch made me more upfront, [b]bold[/b], and approachable.
[b]Internationalism[/b]
I think I met most of my friends on the internet. Most of which I haven't seen IRL, but I'm really proud of having multiple friends in almost every continent through the internet. Sakarias88, mm3guy, DMGaina, Scoutking, *Freezorg*, and Perodua Man and some other guys have been my closest friends for a long time, and I'm glad to have them. I have made it my life's goal to travel the world. Too many people are born in their country, never travel far, and die in their country. I'm making plans for college, and I'll end up starting graduate school in Austria. I'm also going to Germany to the Mercedes museum with my dad, and planning to meet up with DMGaina.
[b]Race[/b]
I'm African Finnish. I was born in Finland, but moved to the U.S. at age 2, so I don't really know much about my life in Lanti. Race is noting but a colour of the skin that shows where your ancestors are from. Racism is dumb, because it's simply judging people by how they look, without knowing what they do or stand for.
[b]Why I quit FP[/b]
I think it was "just my time". Nothing special on the internet but MW2, and I'm starting to get the cycle of threads.
Serious topic>Pun/snipe>Funny comments>Serious answer>General discussion>Lock/Abandoned
So that's pretty much it. I don't think this was a very well constructed thread.
Close the door, you're letting the funk out.
Cool story bro.

Nice drama you have there.
Yep, sounds like Facepunch. :fuckyou:
I've been here four years, and I'm as bitter as ever.
Actually, I think this is the real reason:
Facepunch - When you tell us something we will punch you in the face and question your sexuality.
I like you because you were born in finland. :3:
