Your Fondest Memeory of Charas

[Apex]

I can't think of any specific time that I'd consider fondest.

All those Charas Chats were fun though.

[Zerlina]

Okay all the feels...

When I was in high school I had zero friends and was bullied a lot both verbally and physically. I'd come home, cry pretty much every day, and ice everything from bruised legs to bruised ribs. I felt so alone, angry, sad, lonely. Then it got overwhelming, and suddenly I started to feel nothing. I didn't care about anything or anyone including myself, and I didn't have the motivation to really do anything. Started skipping school until my parents caught on and forced me to go. I just didn't see an end to it.

Then I found this place and started chatting with you all here. I was inspired to work on my game by seeing you all working on yours. I had something to work on, and in a way I had people to talk to about it, and about life's problems. Which I found out many of you shared. I can't imagine we were all the most popular kids. Got more into gaming and was able to become motivated to complete at least "fake" adventures if not "real life" adventures. 

As sad as it sounds, you guys were my first real community. And I think you saved me. Even just the routine of coming home, working on my game, and then posting on Charas. It got me through more than you guys would ever believe. So. Thanks.

Becoming the coolest dude with the rudest 'tude got me in the mood to stop eating too much food and start start being more lewd.

And that's how I gained the confidence to be this cool a dude outside of the internet.

[Razor]

No way, Zerl was an unpopular kid?
Aren't you like, a cool actor now?

[Zerlina]

I actually don't know if you're trolling me right now cause it's text lol.

But in case you're not...
Yeah, I didn't really fit in. Partly cause I was annoying and really like LOTR and wanted to talk about it at all times, and partly cause I think I just socially matured slower in some ways and faster in others.  I was like... the social equivalent of a baby giraffe. Then I developed major depression so I was even less pleasant to be around.

I'm an actor and writer now, but I'm not sure if "cool" is the word I'd use to best describe myself. I just like storytelling a lot so I figure I might as well do it for a living.

You're pretty cool to me.

And yes, forum communities were a great way to escape reality. I feel sorry for all of today's kids that are constantly logged on facebook or something so their bullies can find them without even trying.

Dudebro I remember when you first told us about the acting gig you landed in some horror(?) film with... I wanna say David Hayter?
You were definitely the 2nd coolest* person on Charas that week. It made everything else everyone else had done look like crap.
One of us! An actor! It was a very cool thing, and I clearly speak on behalf of everyone because you can't trust these people to talk for themselves ('else they might disagree with me!)
And so yes, it might come as a surprise that you weren't so popular at school. But it's like I always say, **** highschool that place was a shithole, never look back. Never ever ever ever ever--


*after me, of course

Once again, Razor's right.

I see this allot but honestly in high school I was popular, well liked but totally a nerd. Bullied a grand total of about once and I turned the dialogue back on the bully and made him leave the table laughing at me. Though I had three people who were all members of the RTOC when I ate lunch so...<.< I may have just been lucky. Though the later part you speak of...Overwhelming sadness... I know how that is now. I have days where I just think "Why do I even care if I'm alive". Used to be my art kept me going but now it's getting harder to see that as a relief. Ah anyway I don't want to make this about me. I want to tell you I kinda envy you the few bit parts and minor roles you've had? Make you a heck of a lot braver than me. I had one oppertunity to be extra in a minor B-c level fantasy film and I turned it down. Why? Sigh....I'm comic and actor but I can't act in front of people. It's why I get most of my creativity out through RPGs and RPs cause I can share it without the people seeing me. You're waaaaaaaaay braver and more awesome than me, Zerl. ^_- Kinda my heroineof the smaller screen in a way! You make me wish I had even half your guts and hadn't turned the role down all those years ago or could even do simple stand up and show people my wit without the very thought terrizing me.

[Cerebus]

And, best of all, you're Canadian.

[Fisherson]

And, best of all, you're Canadian.

o3o I don't think so. I just like allot of Candadian Sci-Fi and have a few friends who are. I do stand up for Canadians allot though. -_-; Irritating how everyone sterotypes them as either weak people or jerks when really most Canadians respect strength and have very in-your-face personalities.

[Archem]

I seriously doubt he was talking about you.

[Razor]

Once again, Razor's right.

Until someone increases the maximum amount of mines I can have in my signature, sadly you'll be unable to join the ranks
of my signature

[Archem]

That's why I had an image with all the people who agreed with me. Back in the day.

Right up until I got too lazy to keep updating it. Once the vast majority was on board with following everything I had to say, I just got rid of it. Started to seem redundant.

[drenrin2120]

Actually, Razor, I'm already in your signature.
