Quote from 52xMI remember it like it was yesterday. I was 13. I had visited stickpage regularly for many months now, and I felt it was time to see what the forums were all about. I have to admit I was a bit intimidated at first, but I somehow mustered the courage to create an account.
From a creative point of view, this was not the best time of my life, and as such, I couldn't for the life of me come up with a decent username. I tried naming myself after every inanimate object I could see around me, but they just didn't cut it.
But wait! What's this? A CD case? No, no. That's no good either... No, wait... 52 x Multispeed? It's got numbers, an x, and a cool word! This is it! The usename I've been looking for for so long!
That was the peak of my first year on stickpage, I'd say. I never posted much, and I still don't. And after Dudeman heavily criticized the first pivot animation I posted, I felt like never coming back again. And I don't think I did for a few months. But then I realized what I fool I was. So I returned, but I no longer felt like animating. Pivot felt silly, and I just couldn't wrap my head around Flash at all. So, I just hung around what is now called "General Discussion," formerly known as simply "Main." I started taking part in more discussion, yet I always felt intimidated by the atmosphere. Stickpage was definitely a friendly place for someone who was as new to the internet as I was. But I learned a lot. Back when I first joined, I frequently wrote things like "hehe lol :D" in my posts. God, I am so ashamed of myself right now. But it was all good.
And that's how things continued for nearly four years. It didn't seem like many people knew who I was, especially after I shortened my name after the change to SPP. But I got around. Every now and then, after posting for the first time in a few weeks, someone would say "Hey, 52xM's back!" and I felt good; someone actually remembered me! Or someone told me I was the sex, based on a much photoshopped picture I'd taken of myself. And those were the people who always ended up on my "cool people" lists. Always.
But never, not once, was I included in anyone's cool list. It saddened me at first, but after 20 such threads, one gets used to it. That is why today is such a remarkable day. For the first time ever, after five years of trying to be a good and friendly member, never hating anyone, have I been included in one of these lists.
Dinomut, thank you. :Cry:
