Super Belated 6 Year Otakuversary?

Wow. Guess that shows you how much I'm on here nowadays, huh?

It sucks, cause theO used to be a really huge part of my life. I joined right at the beginning of high school, on a whim so I could submit to a challenge where I drew two OCs who were really important to me, and still are--my most recent redesign of the Bicycle For Two cover is proof, I guess, that I still care about their story in some small way--and it brought me some really great friendships.

At the same time, seeing how dead and empty my dashboard is has been wearing on me. I know there aren't as many people around for various reasons, but I never thought I'd see the day where I'd go days without hearing from anybody.

//sigh

I know, realistically speaking, that theO isn't going to go anywhere, and that there are still new members that have joined in the last year and everything, but I do miss the old crew. There are so many people I want to list, but it'd take way too long, and I wouldn't want to leave anybody out.

...guess I shouldn't be such a downer, huh? The past is the past, and all that jazz? And maybe it's time to finally move on? I hate thinking that, but at this point, it's starting to really become true. True for a lot of things, not just theO.

Six years. At the start, there was nothing more that I wanted than to be here, participate in this online community, and someday make it to Otaku Eternal. Now I wonder how much longer I can stay here, before abandoning my account like so many others before me, accidentally or otherwise.

Here's to wondering if I make it to seven.
