I think this WORLD needs updating. You think this WORLD needs updating? No? Oh well.

You know, just a week shy of a month ago was my third theOtaku birthday. I would have completely forgotten had my inbox not contained the automated email promoting me to Otaku Legend status. I sort of sat there for a moment. How long had I waited for this? I remember my twelve-year-old self (Version Vibrant had just been launched back then so they didn't ask me to verify I was 13 lol;;) registering my account three and excitedly thinking of how I would celebrate the day I was promoted to Legend.

Now that that day has come, I found it... less spectacular than my expectations. But then I remembered all of the amazing people I met during my time here, and how I would have never gotten a true drive to draw had I not visited this site in the first place. Sure, I've "grown out" of this site, so to speak, and have moved on to Tegaki and deviantART. Yeah, I've contemplated deleting this account many a time before, especially as of late. But then I think... How could I ever forsake my roots? Oh gosh, I know I used to be a weeaboo (albeit a low-level one) when first starting out here, but hey, I can't erase my past.

Thank you, theOtaku, for the fun times while they lasted. I may not comment, talk, or favorite here much anymore, but I always, always look (lurk).
