Man, where has time gone...?
Because you all can probably guess who I am, there's no need for an introduction. After I had been banned for the ninth time, I discovered that, for some reason, my IP address hadn't been blocked, and I could view everything that was going on. For a while, I felt like the stereotypical creepy guy across the street watching his neighbors with a telescope from the attic, wringing his hands together in sadistic glee as he watched all of the happy villagers prance about completely unaware of their impending doom.
Wow...didn't expect my description to be that livid...but that's sort of beside the point.
Choosing to not come back to the forums (and abandoning other forums) was one of the best decisions I have ever made in my entire life. I got a girlfriend, I passed my sophomore year with flying colors, I got a 1930 on my SAT, I got my driver's license (actually I think that may have happened while I was still here), and I went to Japan for two weeks and had the time of my life. Hell, I, along with a few others in my student ambassador delegation, almost had a new meme. "TOM CRUISE IS NO." Furthermore, I improved my own artwork by a certain degree, and I'm still working on it, and my friends at school helped me realize that nothing on the internet should ever be taken seriously. Can't believe I couldn't figure that out on my own.
Damn...where do I go with this?

You can celebrate knowing that you have a bright future ahead of you! I'm glad you realized the internet does not have to be serious business.

Precisely. I keep getting all of these emails from different colleges, but I'm too lazy to look at any of 'em. Makes my head hurt.

That mistake has been corrected. Though you may not care since it's coming from me, good luck in the future from me as well.

But a 1930 on your SATs, HOLY HELL! Look, I'm so sorry for everything I did in the past, man. Whole-heartedly. I'm so glad that you improved 10 fold!

I wasn't finished speaking my mind before I was interrupted and given an account ban. Right now, I'm just using my sister's account to say one or two more things. I already asked Tim to get my enchman account unbanned, because I don't actually know this brat's password, and she probably wouldn't tell me. So, back to things that I deem...necessary to express.
First...the only reason that I asked someone to get my account unbanned is because I've been bored to the point of tears, almost literally. I have had next to nothing to do during the past...I don't know how long it's been, but I honestly can't say I feel any sort of expressable emotion towards it. I figured that if I came back here, if only for a week or so, since that's probably how long I'd last due to the failures and incompetence of the administration system.
You see...the only company I've had for some time has been apathy and an almost epiphany-like burst of understanding of brutality and honesty. It's as though my mind burst at the prospect of becoming exactly like one of the many of the idiot masses on dA, thinking everything would be perfectly fine and dandy, and that I was truly a "great" artist and writer. But this is not true. DA is a hugbox. The only word capable of describing the site is hugbox, where everyone sugarcoats their already diabetic lies about how people have great material that, in actuality, would never even make it to a web comic. And don't think that I think that I am the greatest artist/writer on the site. I'm far from it. I've come to terms with that fact. Only through practice will I ever improve, and possibly hope to one day be recognized for creating something worthwhile.
I've been monitoring things here for some time, be it UMD's painfully stupid immaturity and inability to cope with...well, anything. I've also observed everyone's rally against one of the only two permanent members of the site who has ever been rational about anything; Hunter. What I realized...is that he used his brilliance in ways that hit hard, were direct, and didn't categorize him with that of the common troll, or some immature brat. All of this...what he did is exactly what I wanted to do. And I honor him for it.
Furthermore, I have been labeled as a troll. But don't think I consider this an insult...in fact, I consider it a sort of...trophy. Something to hang over the fireplace and admire. There's a book written about internet trolls...it was featured on Attack of the Show during a Loop segment specifically about them. At first glance, I was resistant to admit my obvious reality, but then something struck me. Trolls are sometimes not as they appear to be. If any of you...I can guarantee this, if ANY of you had met me in real life prior to events that transpired here, I would have probably befriended you. And even despite my escapades, if you had ever met face to face with me, you could have possibly wanted to get to know me better. But that's only a dream now...something that will never be realized by anyone here, except for the people who already know me, due to obvious reasons of keeping internet security and anonymity intact.
I haven't much else to say in this post, as my apathy seems to be rising again, along with my crushing boredom. But I will say that some of the things I have ever loved during my childhood years into today seem to be dissipating...I'd give you more details in this post, with a link to my honest opinions about it, but unfortunately I lack the effort. I'll mention it privately to you once my account is unbanned, or I may choose to do it publicly.
However...what I truly wanted to say is, and I know that there is the possibility of this post being deleted for it...is that my internet persona...will never change from its current state. I have become something...something I don't hate...but I have yet to fully understand. You may see it as "troll," I see it as something different. And lastly, when you consider my current state of affairs in real life, coupled with the experiences I mentioned in the very first post of this thread...I can state with a sense of pride that...I beat many of you at life, when you thought I was just a pathetic teenager with no life.

I never thought you were a pathetic teenager with no life, I thought of you as a guy with SERIOUS issues. I probably shouldn't have said that, honestly. Seems like you've been on the long trip known as self discovery.
It seems I am not the only one who thought Hunter was in the right...
Don't rush into things is all I can say here, take as much time as you need. It didn't take Craig McCracken 2 minutes to come up with the concept for Foster's or Powerpuff Girls.
Constructive Criticism on DA is the equivalent of flaming/trolling. I believe I told you this, but it's mostly because everyone on DA has horribly unrealistic expectations, or self-diagnosed Asperger's Syndrome. There's a reason why so many people on DA get Encyclopedia Dramatica pages.
Just tone down on the violence is all I ask of you.
Now then... enough of my irrelevance.
