Yes, it is in fact Wednesday, aka "hump day". But more importantly, it is a very special day for me. My 5th year anniversary of becoming a member of GTPlanet. Let's look back at some things I remember in the past 5 years... It was actually 2 days before I turned 18 when I registered, but I posted that a few days after I registered. And to think, I came up with that name. Do I think any differently about GT now? Not really, the GT series played a big part in who I am today. 2 years afterward, I finally decided to make an intro thread. "To not get banned" I should also note that was still in the aftermath of what happened in the previous FPT. That was a pretty sad time for GTP. 'Dat orange. And who can forget this! ... ... ... ... Anyway, 5 years! Here's to the next 5!
You and race'emhard are the same member? How did this go unnoticed? Congrats, also. Really? How did I miss that?
Wait, wait...so, you actually liked the color orange too? I really did not expect that! I mean, I just remembered about that trivial talk regarding favorite colors in The Infield, (not sure if you also remember it, because I'm not a highly active GTP member and I don't run into you often) which followed a play on homographs and blue tits. I have no idea about your history here, although I think I've heard about the Nissan test driver claim. (I didn't know it was you) I'm sorry if the talk on my love for orange things made you recall negative memories regarding forum behavior...I didn't mean to ignite such feelings! And, well...congratulations! Always glad to see another member expressing how he or she really enjoys his or her time on GTPlanet.
Not in a negative way, I hope... I hope there's actually some positive light in it...well, at least, if you have any thoughts that I was trying to make you recall bad things, you now know that I didn't mean to.
Don't let it bother you too much . In a way it was sort of wishful thinking, and maybe dreams do come true, and one has to start somewhere, right? Prevarication, though, is a bad habit, and yes, one must draw the line when trying to fool all of the people all of the time. Younger folk build a sort of mental world around them that can be very, very real - and the lines between what is, and what is not, can sometimes blur. As you get older, and more lessons are learned (like the one you learned), you get wiser, sharper, and in fact one day strong enough to make those dreams come true. Then you can come back here - and say it for real. In fact, by that point, you may not even care enough to say it. You'll be too busy enjoying yourself. Congrats on the five years in the community, Azure. Well done!
