General discussion is fine! My dating advice thread has 90 some posts so far, you just have to get people in with the right hook (or Badgenome's recent "cumming at your dad's funeral" thread)
25 years old, five sentences, five years a sentence. Hmm.
I was an only child, so my formative years got a fair amount of parental attention (and other attention from adults) and also as much TV as my parents would let me watch.
Get into elementary school and I was a nerd, though it took me until age ten to find out and I was happy as an outdoorsy kid with a focus on science and a solid group of friends.
Through puberty and early teens, however, i went hardcore nerd, no longer going outside for much, getting into anime and hard into video games, with my academic interests switching gears to politics and history and embracing the "outcast" angle.
Late teens to age twenty I stayed solidly in nerd-dom as I went off to college, though kept a group of friends through high school and college and got better at socializing.
In my twenties I passed out of college with great promise only to find nothing waiting for me on the other side, and living at home made me even more introverted until the past year when I got a job at a gas station, then enrolled in graduate school, and lately everything's been going great for me, though i've still got a ways to go before i qualify as well-adjusted.
Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.
