13 when I came here in 2002. I second the "used B8 as a nerd escape."
Other than my brother and a couple of IRL friends, no one ever knew my true secret nerdiness levels. It becomes a lot easier and more accepting in college when you weed out all the dumb-asses and hicks.
Still, holy ****. Im gonna be 24 in 2 months. Thank you B8 for being my cyber home for a decade.
Look at your karma people, look at your karma
