I was in my final year of Primary School (Elementary School for American's) when I first joined, now I'm in my final year of my Bachelor's (but I highly doubt the end of my education!)

Popularity is so superficial in the long run. I spent my first couple years of High School (Year 7 - 12) trying to be recognised and popular that it screwed up my priorities. I started focussing less on grades and more on attention. I guess during 2001-2002 was my most lonelist time, and TPM and the internet was an outlet; an addiction. I'm still certain I suffer some Internet Addiction Disorder - developed as a child who escaped the death of his mother, unhappiness at school etc.

Also, what's with so many old members re-registering and confusing me with their new names? Toucheiruka? SystematicRevolution (Nate)?
