I have been receiving emails of late indicating new blog entries from a number of old friends here on BZP. Apparently the blogging system just returned after a lengthy hiatus? It has been years since I've visited the forums, but I've never forgotten all the fun I had as a part of this community. I am still alive, and I would enjoy reconnecting with anyone who remembers me from quite literally a decade ago! My absence over the last 10 years can largely be explained by school. I began my freshman year of college in 2010, and in the years since, I have completed an AA (2012), two BAs (2014), a BS major-equivalency (2015), and an MA (2019). I have been a college student for 7 years of this decade, taught at a high school for 2 years between my BAs and MA, and was hired this fall as an adjunct professor at a local college. Needless to say, it's been a long journey that's kept me very busy! Reading my old blog after this long feels like looking back in time, and it sounds like at least a few others are having similar experiences as they return to BZP. So let's talk! What's been going on in everyone's lives since 2009? If you remember me, let's catch up! If not, introduce yourself!

So I've suddenly been getting email notifications from all sorts of BZP blogs that I once followed years ago. I read through your full Tumblr post; I'm sorry things have been so bad! It looks like quite a few users have been posting "I'm alive" entries, perhaps I should do one of my own? I'm doubtful there's any who would still remember me here.

Ah, that thing was so awesome to see in person! Argetlam

Thanks for the suggestions everyone, I'll definitely be considering most of them. I already have a Wii, actually, it's certainly a great system, but it's unfortunate that Halo isn't released for it. Hence my desire to get an Xbox. Argetlam

I'm glad you had a good time! It sounds like it was great fun. Argetlam

So I've been thinking about buying an Xbox sometime in the next year, mainly so that I'll be able to play Halo 3 with a few of my classmates while we're all in different colleges. However, I think it would almost be a waste to just get an Xbox for only one game, but I've never really checked out all the games for Xbox. Does anyone know any good games that they may recommend once I do get one? Argetlam

Sounds like great fun. You'll have to let me know how it goes! Argetlam

"Of course... I am scientist!" *ahem* In other news, I'm taking my ACT tomorrow. Wish me luck! Argetlam

XD The TV is already there, but the X-Box is something that we may actually have to try to get in there. I'll keep you updated if we actually try that. Argetlam

I'm able to see them on my dad's Mac. When I get the chance, I'll try changing them to jpegs. Argetlam

Tyson Mall anyone? BrickFair FTW! Argetlam

As far as the Blog Contest prizes go, I'm not even sure what I'm supposed to be doing with that whole thing. I haven't been contacted at all with information on the prizes, and no one has asked me for my mailing address, etc. I suppose it'll all be taken care of in due time though, which is fine by me.

Sooooo, our class is officially pathetic now. We spend a lot of time in our Principal's Office, mostly messing around and drinking his coffee, etc., and someone had made the comment that his office had become something like the Teacher's Lounge, except for Seniors. So, I made a nice looking sign that says "Senior Lounge" and hung it on his office door. It's still there, and he has actually said that he's fine with it being there. Argetlam

Thanks! Argetlam

You know, that may be a possibility. I'll have to check it out, but that certainly sounds like it may be causing the problem. Argetlam

Hmmm, I've gotten comments from a few others that can't see the images either. I'm not sure what the problem is, but they're PNG images hosted on majhost (if that helps). Argetlam

Way to go. You are commended. Argetlam

Wow, what view. It's different, but I suppose the member base could get used to it. Argetlam

Thank you! Argetlam

Lawl, Google FTW. Well, that is, if you looked it up. >> << Argetlam

I believe you are correct in that. Argetlam

Not like it's anything too extraordinary. Argetlam
