I graduated last week. I'll be going off to college like most of you have all ready. I'm afraid with the last of our members moving on, Koto may never see the light of day again. Why couldn't we keep it going? What happened? Reading through a lot of these old threads, I saw that we got along so well. Gate, Aegis, Fuzzy, Crystal, Toki, Vinnie, Sato, Ani, Si. :3 We went through 3 threads and finally ended up here. Those threads were so old... Koto V3 is still up, but that's about it, I think. I remember when it was just a hang out thread. Then we got Member Cards! Keys to hotel rooms! The first moderators and random times with Toki. Dating Crystal for a bit and the internal fights that ensued from my childishness. Vinnie's play room! (Hah! XD) My constant RPing, and being a jackass thinking I was better than everyone. :< Petty promises and powerful memories. Some of the best times of my life were spent in those threads. I'm so sad to see them go, but was happy we had found a permanent home. It cost us twenty-thousand gold, but we got our hands on a bona-fide Gaia Guild! Your class graduated, went on the colleges. Gate stopped being an Alaskan by location, but was always an Alaskan at heart, I'm sure. I was never sure where Aegis was, but I was almost certain he lived in Japan until I finally checked his profile recently and found he was a Californian. d: Me and Vinnie are still here in Texas (at least I am...) And you guys are probably still on Ohio. How long have we been here? How long have we known each other? Friends of our kind don't just stop talking, right...?
The members of Koto~Thing may still be idle and inactive, but the spirit, and the memories that made us who we are and continue to drive us forward are more alive than we give them credit for. I'm not asking that, following this post, Koto will miraculously spring back to life. I'm just asking for you to remember what happened between us. All the crazy random things we said and did. The explosions, the ferrets, lying on the floor for no apparent reason. Proving your vocabulary was fierce! Fighting and making up. Making up, and then fighting again! Role-playing when we were bored. Confessing love in public. Sneaking around and about stealthily, even though everyone read where you were going. Video games, movies, music, pets, family, loves, hates, wants, needs, Ohio, Texas, Alaska, California! Whatever we talked about, it wasn't just a topic, it was an adventure! We made so much out of everything because it was fun! It's what we did. :3 I hope you remember me in the fondest way possible. Because if this post shows you just one thing, it's that I will always look upon every last one of you in complete fondness. Good night everyone. biggrin
TL;DR: ******** you gaiz, I'm going to college! See ya never! XD jk! <3 Remember me, cause I'll always remember you!

Congrats Vivi! Enjoy college. Where have you ended up in terms of university? Another state?
I had a bit of a funny revelation on Facebook just a few minutes ago. I'm not gonna name who (but it is someone from Koto-Thing), but FB "suggested" someone we all know to add to my friends list. I was like, hoh s**t I know who that is, but I'm not adding (that person).

Actually, I can proudly say that I have lived in China and make it one of my most visited locations on this planet outside the United States and Canada.
I recently returned from Shanghai, lots of fun lots of memories. Though definitely not as fun as my previous trip to Beijing in 2008 right as the Summer Olympics was about to begin.

I don't know what drew me to Gaia today, and for the first time in ages I checked the guild but Kite omigawsh. ;~; That's so wonderful and I feel the same way. I really do miss everyone here and I'm friends with everyone from my area (besides fuz of course) and then Gate as well, on facebook. If you want to add me too to keep in touch, I would more than happily add you as well. :3
I'm on my second year of college now and I've made some huuuuuuge changes in my life as well. I went off to a university 4 hrs away and had some crazy stuff happen. I'm not a big party person so nothing like that though. xD But long story short, I have the best boyfriend ever who lives 2 minutes up the road from me. I live at home now and I just transferred to the community college somewhat close to me and I have never been happier. I hope you made some great decisions for your future and I send you the best of luck in it and I love all you guys dearly. biggrin IT WILL NEVER BE THE END. VIVA LA KOTO~

Dannng. I don't know what brought me to get on this today but I saw this and feel the same. I miss talking to everyone. For the most part I remain in some sort of a contact with everyone from my area except for maybe one or two. Its hard to stay in touch with our lives all going in different directions and I don't talk to them as much as I should.
There have been some hugggeeee changes in my life since the last time I've been on. I'm in my second year of college at a University that's 4 hours away from home. I'm still doing the whole pre-med thing which keeps me pretty busy. This fall my boyfriend and I moved into an apartment together not too far from school. He has been a blessing to my life everyday. This school years been tough a lot of struggles and obstacles seem to be in my way but none the less I'm happy with where I've gotten myself and the life I've made thus far.
I truly hope the best for each one of you guys, and it'd be great to hear from you. biggrin

Yeah, lately for me the travel bug has hit. I'm on here, but I don't do anything except post an occasional emoticon on one of my subscribe threads.

I know these posts are months apart, but even still, we were all drawn here at some point. Kinda strange, huh?
I saw on my profile today that I've been a member since 2003. 2003! That's seven years, dude. Thatsa looooong time. And looking back, I do miss you all. I somehow doubt it'll ever be the same here.

Im two years late but yeah I remember the good ol days, back then I was a totally different person than I am now. I was bright shiny optimistic and so full of life and imagination. I've been around since may 2004 even though this account doesnt say so and yeah I member having our own rooms and booby trapping them, I think my room was the best though lol things were fine til I decided to see why so many tv shows were making a big deal of World Of Warcraft and since then I started drifting away slowly from the guild but I still popped in once in a while. SOmetimes I wonder if I had never left the guild for so long would it have lasted longer? Im still with my parents only because I want to help them and without me they would have very diffucult time getting by and stuff since they are so bogged down in debt. I never did went to that art school after failing a test to retake a test since then I lost the desire to draw and create stories, I've been working as a Janitor since September 12, 2004 and have since became the best custodian anyone has ever had, I still have desires to take advance education but Im very undecided and lack Vehicle license (I refuse to have my parents drop me off to colege it would be humiliating and at my age I should already have a license). Not much has been going on in my end just work and playing games with the occasional going out and getting drunk. I'll be honest with you all I have no kind of friends outside the net I know pathetic but I really was never able to connect with the environment I grew up in The only friend I had left years ago and had a kid last I spoke to him. Back in April I went to Utah to attend a wedding of these two friends I met in WoW it was the most awesomest feeling in the world to meet a friend you only spoken to through the internet. It was pretty fun and I was the best man for the groom. While in Utah I felt a great feeling of happiness I havent felt in years I didnt wanted to go back home I wanted to stay with them but of course I had to go back home cause I not only had a job but things to take care of back home. SInce then I've been wanting to go back and OH I actually had a girlfriend but she kinda went loco and lesbian xD (Best month of my life) Ever since I came back from the wedding my work performance have slowly been dropping, I feel as if I left a part of me behind, and I want nothing more than to be with matt, kelli, Nikki and Jessi. So basicaly heres what 2012 was like for me: January: Got dumped (I was okay with it cause I knew it wasnt gonna last and it would happen) Febuary-March: Getting myself back together and moving on and slowly began to change. April- I took my week vacation to Utah to attend my friends' wedding May: I dont remember much June: Went to a comic convention and met the voices of G1 Ash, Zim, and Gir Zim was hysterical and Ash had a positive and youthful aura about her that made you feel like going on random adventures. July: Turned 27 on the 4th of july, Finally got a good view of the city's fireworks display, celebrated the release of the sequel to one of my favorite games Phantasy Star Online (Japanse Version). August: Celebrated my one year anniversary at my new job September: Just another crappy month October: dragging along even though the company Im working for wants to hire me from the temp agency. So yeah basicaly for the past years I have been in deep conflict with certain people over the years, my family is slowly breaking apart on bad terms and I am pretty much depressed, and wanting to get away but I still wanna fight the problem in hopes of having us united again =/ Nowadays Im cold, slightly bitter, moody, and not happy with how my life is going. So hard to do better when you are pinned down and having to rely on others. Just looking back on this guild made me wanna cry, I know we all have to move on and leave gaia eventually but the memories will last us a life time. Man kinda feels like Im writing a suicide note xD NYERK! Maybe one day we can all meet each other and relive the glory days of silliness.... Now if you all dont mind me Im gonna chug this big bottle of Steel Reserve while I cry wondering what happened to me and if I can ever get out of this rut and if my armor can be repaired (On a side note I was finally able to abandoned the Knights Code Of Honor so thats good news to me but Im still a good guy). Comming back here made me sad razz I miss you all very much and hope for the best of everyone feel free to add me on facebook https://www.facebook.com/vincent.rivas and NO Im not a depressed guy who is a raging alchoholic Id rather be dead than be that way!!! Take care and may the light and shadows protect you all.

If you dont feel like reading my Story/ Article of how my life has been heres a quick version.
Battles between me and my lil bro has gotten so intense we may wind up killing each other eventualy. (I wish not to get into why so please respect my wishes)
I can sometimes be an emotional drunkard and cry revealing my darkest and deepest of feelings.
Im tired of seeing my household arguing with each other (Lil bro has been kicked out several times but returns due to mom being so merciful and forgiving even though she knows she is treated like crap. He's the of reason all te problems relationship wise.)
Missing my friends, wanting to be them and see if there is something I spiritualy left there.
Like Zero Im tired of all the figting Im involved in and just want to live in peace but feel I can't cause my help is needed.
So I will let you the reader decide I am really messed up and please dont pity or feel sorry for me >_< There is no greater shame than pity.
