I was just musing on this the other day when I realized that it's been a year!
Though I'm not sure if anyone really realized this or not, since I didn't talk about it much. Marina is actually the first game I applied to ever. Mostly I blame Sharky for that, telling me I should try my hand at a game. It's funny to reflect on it all for me. Initially, when I agreed to apply, it was because I thought that since it was new and starting out, that it'd be nice to settle into. Pfft. I can even remember the mini group chat about IC days = OOC days.
Honestly, though I had to step back and away for a two or three months, I couldn't help but come back. I enjoyed playing here far too much to keep away, as anyone can tell. There are times that I get horribly frustrated, but fffff. I don't think I could ever actually drop out of this game ever again. So I hope you don't mind being stuck with me. I've just come to adore pretty much everyone here. It's like, I can't believe how many people I have met through this game and how many friendships that wouldn't have started if not for being a part of this. Never would I have thought that I would have grown attached to the place like I have. Back a year ago, I had only in mind that I was going to play and not get to know people. That obviously didn't last because you people are really amazing.
So, um... Before I get more tl;dr.... ILU GAIS ;A;
