oh i was actually thinking about this yesterday haha!! it is really nice to get to see someone just grow and develop as a person, even from a distance.
Oh, definitely! It's crazy, I befriended several people here and now that I look back on it, we've all achieved so much in that time frame. Whether it be university, graduating, or even getting married, a lot has happened in (almost) 10 years.

And then there was the Formspring craze. Ah.. I miss Formspring now. I talked to a lot of people from CS on there, haha.
What makes me feel really old is when I look at certain old pets from '09 and '10 and I remember clearly adopting them and even anticipating what a litter was going to look like grown. Even though I haven't been active here for long time, when I look at some pets it still feels like I just got them recently. Then I find it hard to believe that it was actually 8 or 9 years ago...
9 years. It almost sounds ridiculous to say I've stuck with the same site for 9 years...
It's amazing how some of the pets literally feel like you got them yesterday! For example, I even remember adopting my Red Rose and some of the advents from 2008. And I was looking at the pets from 2011 in the archives yesterday, and I could clearly remember what I thought they would look like. :'D
