Growth. Youth. Passion., You now ... Options

[demolished]

As I'm listening to this classic RPG music and reading Fae's posts through, i finally had something in mind to talk about.

Anyways ... speaking of life, how does createblog connected your life or how did you grew up with this website?


Way back when I just started my teenager's year and discovered createblog, I was somewhat obsessed with this website. Not to mention that I was lifeless lonely guy who didn't exactly have any friends … and basicially did web designing. That was all in the past (middle school). When I was growing up, my connection with createblog was intellectual stimulating. Createblog was a like a book to me, a book that was an open door to discovery. By just surfing and reading every topic out there, I was easily amuse, fascinated, and inspired to be have an expansion of knowledge and ethics. Mindy was there. Fae was there. Anna was there. Trish was there. Justin was … and everyone else was there. Shockingly, I was surpise about much knowledge were new to me and ... wow, i was never expose to it before. My mind was already absorbing wide-range of controversial topics; argumentation of God's bible testimony, AIDS/HIV, issues of homosexuality, typical teenager problems, depression, mental illness, and tremendous argumentations. Dont you remember those good old times?


Unfortunately, when I was heading to age fiftteen, I lost all my potential, passions, initiative, and charisma of a competitive person who appreciates learning. It was like … part of me just wasn't there anymore.


Look at me, I'm in high school debate team … and was deeply sadden by the fact that I lost all these qualities, interests, passion, and emotions to become a successful debater.

Here I am now … heading toward to high school diploma, going off to college, PARTYYY WITH FRIENDS, and appreciating life ahead of me. Lalala. WOOOT.

"The teenage years is a time for us to search for many answers and not a time to accept one answer as absolute truth. There are wrong answers, right answers, answers we don't like, and answers that just don't make a lick of sense...etc. We'll have to do some growing up to formulate the answer that's right for ourselves"

This site have help me a lot as well. I became a better designer and more understanding of people in general. I learned by helping and getting help.

exactly. createblog is more than just webdesigning: div, html, css, and all that fun junk.

I'm not as interested in designings as i used to be.

at the same time, it's boring ... not fascinating ... like those old time ;] ohwellll

Yeah cb have those boring days. So I spend time talking to these silly 13 years old with all their question about sex. That gets boring after awhile because the questions get repetitive. Last year was great though.

asian people

I haven't really been here that long, and I guess I just don't take things on cb that seriously with my offline life. I think if I was able to go into cb chat it would change things...

cb chat is a lot better than these forums, i think anyways. you can root out the idiots

[karmakiller]

^ Yeah, I hear about the chat a lot :( but I don't have AIM...

[arghrawr]

Woah baby I grew up with cb. I've been visiting it since the xangan days...I think I was eight or nine the first time I stumbled on to the site. Yeah, cb used to be insanely more interesting and intellectually stimulating. I learned a lot. I used to frequent the debate forum and want to get into the debate, but I always felt intimidated by everyone else. I've never been one of those exciting members, I'm more one to spectate.

[S-Majere]

Call me traitor, but to start with I used to visit BR more than CB.

I'm not sure what started the obsession, but I love this place. I guess I didn't need it so much in my college years, there was too much to do, too many people to see and friends to chat to; but since I've become a university student, Createblog has become like a lifeline to me. I still have friends and a social life outside of work and study, but I commute everyday to university in the city and it's more difficult to establish that sense of normalcy and stability. Not to mention I miss my boyfriend like a lost limb, sometimes it feels like I'm only half here. I think Createblog will always have that which I'm lacking right now. It's a sense of familiarity (even amongst the teens with the same old sex problems and the mind-numbing name-calling) and I love that.

I haven't been around so much as to say I remember the good old times, but to me these are the good old times.

I love you guys

/end alcohol fuelled love.

Man, a lot has changed since I registered here in summer 2005. I've gone through about four locations, lost my father, had some serious relationship changes.. Made a couple of really big mistakes and had a couple of chances to make everything right. I like to think that things up to this point ended well.

If I had never come across CB I can honestly (and possibly ashamedly) admit that things would be COMPLETELY different for me. >.<
