Returning to GC, anyone remember me?

I made a decent amount of posts withing the last few years but i havent been here in almost a year i think, my l;ife is 100% different than when i started posting here haha.
 
the site looks a LOT diffferent, i think the status update shit is lame. i hate when forums are too busy. but its all good. missed this place. 
 
i dont even know if i remember anyone from here, or if anyone i liked it still around haha. do i still have mad rep? 
 
edit: ah, is reputation gone now? probably for the better haha. 

 

well, back then i was dating my now ex girlfriend, we dated for five years. i stopped posting when she got addicted to oxy contin and started stealing from me and my friends. she sold my record and dvd collection, which was sizeable, probably for next to nothing to a shitty store called TUNES. where no one will apreciate fuckin rare first pressings of goth records and italian horror movies. but whatever. I loved her regardless, drugs change people. 
 
after she sold my shit i sent her to rehab, it was about two hours away and i would drive up there every weekend to visit her, bring her food, cigarettes, etc etc. well, while she was there she started talking to some fucking guy, who she says she fell in love with. this is viable because at the time, although i visited her, i was very distant and angry with her, our relationship had disintegrated, but i thought she still loved me like i loved her. i was wrong, when she got out of rehab she dumped me for him. he is a 30 year old junkie with felony charges, lives with his parents, etc etc.
 
i was also living with parents at the time. because she got us kicked out of our apartment from stealing from friends and ruining many relationships, but she she dumped me i decided to get my fucking shit together. i didnt have a job, i was up to 280, no money, fuckin bum. 
 
well i changed that, during the summer i got a manual labor job and started eating better. i went from 280 to 180 within a year. im at 180 now, i think its pretty much my steady weight. ill include some photos at the bottom to illustrate the change. i also got a full time job about 9 months ago and have been saving, heavily. i have amassed a couple thousand dollars by myself in a short time. im really proud of myself, its more money than ive ever had. i now live in amaazing beautiful apartment with 3 of my good friends, and have pretty much nothing but good times.
 
im also in two bands and now release a fanzine entitled "afraid of the basement: all things dark" its a real print paper zine that i gave out for free. im about to release the second issue. its pretty popular in the punk circle

i also remember your avatar, yes ma'am. 

 

yeah definitely. needing help on a computer makes me feel old and im only 25. 

 

haha sounds about right. and yeah, i mean, i am still emotionally crippled. i really wanted to marry her and she was like... WAY too beautiful for me, truly hot as fuck. haha. i will miss her forever. but fuck who she became. 

 

yeah, losing the weight is probably the biggest accomplishment in my whole life haha. im pretty proud, the best was when i went to a family party and everyone was just in shock, the only way it could have been better is if they didnt follow it up with 'youre not on drugs are you?' haha. i of course replied with  "just weed grandma".
