True. I want to. But I just don't have time right now. I'm almost done with high-school tho so I might take some classes in between collage and high-school.
Yeah, that'd be good.
Yes. I need to start working on a plan for my life lol. XD
*Snow can be seen beginning to drift down from the sky out a window*
*Several gnomes carry a large Christmas tree into the room* *
*A few people notice but don't say anything because if they ask what are they doing when the gnomes were supposed to be there they don't want to feel stupid in front of everyone so they just stay silent and wait for someone else to ask what the gnomes are doing, not realizing everyone else is thinking the exact same thing*
Never. Why would I do that? Unless to explain to people how ninjagofanmam and I got to know each other in person.
You two know each other in person? Surprised I'd never seen mention of that before. I've met skulduggery, pythor, and ninjagogirl in person. Wanted to meet some others, but it just never materialized. They and padme are the only MBers I talk to frequently away from here.
Oh yeah- funny how we don't talk about it often. xD I basically invited to come visit me and my family in the summer, and she's come down to stay a couple times! Now we're going to college together and I still can hardly believe it's real. Ahh, cool! Meeting online people IRL is a wack trip. It's like... "excuse me you're not supposed to actually be real"
Oh dang. O.o Beg your pardon there. Old habit makes me assume everyone I meet on this site is either a child or a cynical teenager.
I think Gnuehchcaz and I are the only truly active people here who are beyond undergrad and doing adulty things. When the MBs closed I was very much in the "cynical teenager" category, however. I started undergrad in 2017, only started posting here frequently during lockdown times and realized that it was actually all right.
Gotchaaaa... ugh, everyone seems old and mature and cynical now though. Awww. Welcome home. Glad you still kinda like the place. I remember hearing about you often when I first joined.
Niiiice. I have a friend who has that power. It frustrates me so much. I'll study the same things every day for two months and still get a bunch of answers wrong. I guess my brain just doesn't test well, or something..
Oh no... Don't you see? It's a vile transformation, and it's already beginning... Within a month, your friend will not just sound like a textbook. They'll be a textbook.
the superpower of remembering things its so great
oh no shes becoming a textbook oh god why is she becoming a book
... I'm intrigued. How is one's hatred of Snickers related to their posting on a LEGO forum?
Welp. *Cracks knuckles.* I posted in the star wars main forum after reading 200-some pages of a cool-looking topic. The two users who were the main posters on it were friends. Hunter liked snickers, didn't like twix, and played a jedi. Wize liked twix, didn't like snickers, and played a sith. So one of the fights became Twix vs Snickers. When I joined, I played a mando bounty hunter and fully joined Wize's side as he offered to pay my character. Later I fully joined his side with Twix over Snickers. I do actually like twix, and don't like snickers, but I am obligated to like twix and hate snickers because of the twix vs snickers war. =P
Wow...! Such amazing lore. Thank you for sharing this legendary story.

I think I'm less cynical than I was on the MBs (that should tell you something about how I was then). I stuck around to chat LEGO with Zach, and then I realized that there were like 5 other active people so it wasn't super difficult to put a few minutes / hours a week in here, especially for nostalgia and my favorite hobby. On the topic of favorite hobby, you know you're a real AFOL when you have a ton of unopened sets just sitting around waiting for when you have time to build...
Yes, I used to check in here for the sole purpose of searching my name and seeing what ridiculous things were being said about me. I lived rent free in these people's heads for three years, somehow. Then the people who talked about me stopped posting here and the LMBW folks realized there were better things to think about than old benboy. So there was no more entertainment for me But yes, I was like a cult icon on the MBs I guess. Was banned for trolling, banned for cheating ranks, somehow NOT banned for making 16000 posts on duplicate accounts (ironically my rejected post proportion was always hilariously low on dupes). I spent years trying to outdo Skul in # posts and # likes but in the end it was me who people remembered. Go figure

You go to the same college?? Absolutely wild. I seriously tried to get Tolk, Pythor, and NG to apply to my undergrad but nothing materialized. Now I'm somewhere else for grad and Pythor says he'll apply here for a masters program he likes... we'll see if that actually happens.
When I visit Pythor we play the "I know him from school" route And yes, no kidding... feels like it should be a novel experience but actually you've known them forever and it flows pretty nicely. At least, in my experience. Maybe some people have had a bad time of it.
