Three Years Of Neoseeker...
My first, and most likely only blog post on Neoseeker, but here it goes. It's been nearly three years now since I first signed up to Neoseeker now, and it has only been recently that I have realised how I've been here such a long time. So I feel I should make at least one blog entry. :)
I've had my ups and downs through the years but now feel that I have become a well respected member on the forums I post in. This is something I always wanted, but never thought it would happen because how 'noobish' I was when I first started posting.
I posted amateur comments that the more experienced/older members didn't like. And to be honest, I got some much deserved stick from a few of the more serious Neo members. Sadly then, I was younger and was far from mature so I just posted to try and provoke a reaction from the members who were having a go at me. I can look back and laugh at it now, but I must have been a nightmare for most people back then.
But gradually, I matured and started to have my own group of friends on Neo - Most of which I still speak to today either on the forums or MSN. A part of me thinks it a bit sad to have 'online friends' but I realise now that they are a part of my life. Of Course the chances of me meeting someone from Neoseeker are more than slim - near impossible, but that doesn't mean I can't enjoy talking to them online.
I've met some awesome people and if I were a millionaire, I'd buy plane tickets so I could see them. But sadly that isn't the case. But speaking to them online will do me. I won't mention any names as I would just leave people out. But thanks to these people, I am rarely bored. In the day, I get on with my normal life but when I'm on the laptop and have an evening spare, I can log onto Neo/MSN and speak to my friends.
In a way, speaking to your 'E-friends' is sometimes better than speaking to your real life mates, especially when you are discussing problems that you don't really want to be spread around. You feel safe and you don't have to lie. Long story short, I've had many conversations to people I've met through here that have really helped me - And I know that some people will say the same about me. It's a real uplifting feeling.
And to think... 3 years ago this August, I signed up to Neoseeker with NO intention of making any impact on here, let alone making friends. But now as I approach 10,000 posts (which I still can't get my head round - How can I talk so much shite?), I have met people on here that will have a place in my heart forever. And will continue to post on here until I feel it's the right time to leave... Whenever that will be.
