First off, I'd like to say I'm sorry. I don't know if I really was, but I feel like I was a bit of a jerk at times when I was on here all the time. If I was, I didn't ever mean any harm to it. I was in middle school and didn't know how to function like a normal person. This place was the one place where I truly felt at home.

Second, holy fruitcakes batman! It's been a long time since I have been on this site. And by the looks of it, it's been a long time since anyone has been active here! I never thought that this forum could die out, but time takes it's course I presume.

I just wanted to let you all know how much this forum meant to me (and still means to me!) Without the support and the community that you guys gave me, I don't know what I would have done. I'm doing a lot better now though. I'll be starting my senior year of high school in a week or so, and I'm working at an awesome scuba shop. I also have been getting hugely involved in drumlines, and marched for Dojo Percussion for the past WGI season. I'm playing for and instructing for my high school drumline and looking to try out for the DCI Colts Cymbal Line this coming summer, as well as playing cymbals for Dojo again this winter/spring. I'm also really close to getting my Eagle Scout. After high school, I plan to go to college and study history or engineering, and I also plan to join the Marine Corps ROTC program.

But seriously, I love this place. Just coming back to this site made me feel at home. I love you all and I wouldn't trade these memories for the world.
