This past year has been one of the best of my life, and without this forum last spring would've felt pretty lonely and boring. Since opening up a little bit (or quite a bit actually) I've found a few awesome buddies here (you know who you are!) and had a lot of good times

Nice to Know, even though I don't give a shit about sports.
