I'm not jumping camp, but simply visiting this OS to see how it's doing. I'll then probably return to good old XP if I am dissatisfied even a little. Though once Windows 7 comes out, I'll be sure to take a look at that one too.

Now let's see if FFR really doesn't work well on Vista as a few people noted already :P

Inspired by above animation:

Rolling Star

Into the light of what foreshadows our lives,
There are no restraints in who we truly become.
Rightfully we attempt the highest of summits,
Looking at the endlessly vast sky that composes our souls. Pressure to never look back,
Destruction of what we once loved,
Forever lost in the degrading tones of society.
Tearing away through the flesh of our heart,
Resorting to break loose of what we have been made to be.

Running in the mind of what is now,
Opening a gateway to life in our dearest of memories.
Concluding the false hopes that now are upon us,
Loneliness forgiving the dry tears on our face.
Yet forever together we become,
The depths of despair now lying bare to our dark blade of vengeance.
I now show myself to you, the one that has always been destined to be my light....my true purpose amongst those who I have met.

I voted my second choice instead of my first choice at the Federal Elections....^^

Oh well, we'll see what that does when the results come in.

I generally see over 2000 people connected on this site at the same time during the evening. After a bit over a year, the active people of FFR have finally seen at least once in one way or another my profile. This entails that I am probably an average FFRer and more or less regular gamer. I don't post that much, but I have met quite a few people in the profile chat as well as the MP section.

Just under a year and finally I attained my long desired positon of 1000th in the Grand Total Score division. Too bad I don't have money right now to become a subscriber. Though this might change in the following weeks. Thanks for Ap19 for motivating me by simply existing. Thanks to andili for the wacky pineapples that she made me think of each time I met her on MP and on my profile. Thanks to Baka_Red to have introduced me to this button mashing place of DOOM! Thanks to Takatsumaru to have forced me to try and be competitive to become better than him (even if he's still slightly better than me still...one day!). Thanks to Crazy_Hyper for her many attemps to rule the world and me ruling her out (even if she won't admit it ;) ). Thanks to Synthlight for creating this forum and addictive and entertaining place. Thanks to Tass for his random stuff here and there and being a fellow Dragonlance reader. Thanks to TC_Tsunami10 for becoming my trainer so that I can finally enter the next stage of skills in this competitive world of leetness. Thanks to ~HentaiXXX~ for introducing me to HAG (Hentai Are Great). Thanks to FR_Yuki for introducing me to Tsunami and being such a fun MP gamer.

And Finally, the greatest thanks goes to.....

*drum roll*

*more drum roll*

*even more drum roll*

THE WHOLE COMMUNITY OF FFR

For being such great people in general (no one is perfect) and offering a nice place to retreat from reality, to offer a haven from society and finally for all the good times you have offered me for the past year. I hope the next will be even greater still.

Take Care and Till Next We Meet...
