Your First Day as a member of TFF

[DragonHeart]

Hmm....I'm amazed I remember any of it at all, but my first day was approximately six years and three months ago. Let's see...it was 8/20/01, so obviously 9/11 hadn't happened yet. It was just before I started my freshman year of high school.

My old friend Joey from middle school had moved away that summer, but before he left he convinced me to join my very first forum, this very one in fact. His old username was Squall Leonheart, but he changed it a few times. He's still listed in the member profiles as Asgard. I even made that avy he has. I haven't talked to him in years though. He got mixed up with the wrong crowd and things just went downhill from there. I still wonder how he's doing sometimes.

So anyways. First day. I spent probably an hour or so debating with Joey before settling on my name, based on one of my favorite movies. It suits me, even if to this day I still have people confusing my gender. XD

First post I made was probably my introduction thread. I remember being awed because my very first reply to said thread was from the mighty admin, OmegaGear. I felt like I was touched by God or something, haha. Yes, I was young and impressionable too...

Next was the training battle we had in the RPB forums. Back then, asterisks were still in style and one line posts ran rampant. My very own first RPB post ever consisted of one sentence. Reading over the threads of the elite RPBers back then is what inspired me to write, believe it or not.

My first RPB character was Kylista. I may not have written about her for some time now but she's still around, waiting for her story to be told. At the end of the battle, Joey's character "taught" Kylista a technique he called Omega Black. I even remember what it does, even though I don't think I ever used it in a battle.

And...that's about all I remember from back then. Over half a decade ago...damn, I feel old!
