Blog Thread 5: A New Beginning
Akima:
You have altogether too high an opinion of me.
I have learned a great deal from people in this forum, some of them sadly departed.
Patrick:
I've had the privilege of learning a lot from people around here. I first joined this forum with a lot of toxic beliefs and behaviors, and over the years, and through everybody's immense patience, I've unlearned a significant number of em. Wish I'd done that sooner.
Patrick:
Oh yeah. I have a new band called Tacky Art (might have mentioned before), and we're playing our first show on the night of the winter solstice. It's gonna be a really fun time, I think. It's in Alameda, CA, just outside of Oakland, so I'm really hoping some of my friends from my 2 years living in Oakland will be able to come to it!
Dngrsone:
This person looks familiar, FSR

Despite some idiotic complications of the American medical system, I am alive, and doing relatively well. I have my band's first show coming up soon. I have a couple different girls who I am friends with, who seem to be romantically interested in me at the same time (which is something I've never knowingly experienced before). One of them is coming to my band's first show. The other, we have plans to spend time together right after Christmas, and then again for New Year's Eve (and my birthday is New Year's Day). And, something that may surprise people who knew me back before I was properly socialized: I am really excited to spend time with these women, whether they fuck me or not. It's just nice to have the company of people I like. Fuck, I wish I had known 15 years ago that this was a thing I could enjoy innocently.
I have a job I love, working for people I respect and admire, with a team I am happy to support. It doesn't pay well, but there's some things money can't buy, right? Especially in America. However, I'm considering taking a morning job, and telling my current gig that I can only work evening shifts. Because this is America; don't catch me slippin up. Medical debt, credit debt, personal debt, it can all cripple you. And I have a plan for a trade school + career by the time I'm 32. I am determined to make it, and I'm not about to let any of those things slow me down.
