I suppose my presence on BZP has almost completely faded the last few years. I still check in every now and then, but I rarely post and only read a couple topics. Once upon a time I was able to keep up with literally every topic on here, that's pretty much impossible now for obvious reasons.

Anyway, I guess an update is in order, so much has happened since my last entry that this could be fairly long.

First off I graduated high school this summer. My first year was great and I easily had the potential and drive to be the best, though, after I moved to Germany I kind of lost my will to succeed. Something about losing everyone you know along with hard won friendships and leadership positions will do that to you. How I stayed sane is beyond me. Possibly the best part of the whole mess was that I learned of some critical flaws in my own personality and fixed them; no one will ever hurt me that way again.

The next three years kind of dragged by; I was almost constantly depressed and looking back my mind was in a kind of haze the whole time. I had a few good memories, but mostly I've mentally blocked out the experience. If anyone cares about what I was up to the last three years PM me, I don't feel like recounting it here.

That pretty much brings us to today. I'm currently in college studying video game design and Japanese and am much happier than I have been in a long time. Hopefully me and my family will stay where we are for a while, but I am now of age and can never be forcibly moved against my will again.

In any case I hope that no one who reads this has as bad a time as I did
