HAPPY 6TH BIRTHDAY!

[bigdamnprincipal]

Holy bleep, y'all, it's Fandom High's sixth birthday today! Six years! Our game is getting ready to start first grade!

Or, more realistically, children who were born after the game started are getting ready to start preschool!

And people who were in high school when they joined the game have graduated from college!

And people who were in college have become functional adults! Well, we've gotten as close to adulthood as we care to get, at least.

Six years! Going through the main comms and breaking out my trusty calculator, it appears we have over 2,643,000 comments worth of game in the communities alone. Think of how many more comments there'd be if we'd been using OCD threads all along! (I know, bad memories, I'm sorry.)

In proper reminiscent-of-year-one fashion, there won't be any OCD on this post - just go wild and celebrate our latest milestone together. Wheee!

WHEEEEEEEE!

And those of us who were already supposed to be functional adults when the game started...

Have booze, at least.

[bigdamnprincipal]

And walkers with cup holders and wifi access? *ducks*

A six year old RPG is like 150 in internet years, right?

[need-no-moon.livejournal.com]

I admit, I'm horrified by this.

[badnewsandwit.livejournal.com]

BUT WHAT OF THOSE WHO WERE IN COLLEGE THEN AND STILL ARE? /perpetual students.

Here, have a romantic gesture, game.

[life_inshadow]

Six years!

Happy anniversary, y'all. I couldn't imagine a better way to spend six years of my life giggling at my computer. We are all superstars, and I'm continually amazed I got to know all of you.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GAAAME!

Now I'll be over here reminiscing about the game's fourth birthday, because that's how far back my meager nostalgia can go.

[glacial_queen]

You and me both, bb.

I remember looking at all the threads and going..."I have nothing to contribute. *sad face* THE BDE WAS PRETTY COOL, HUH? HUH?"

Happy birthday, game. I didn't get you any presents. Instead, I bought myself a piece of cake. I'm enjoying it on behalf of everyone.

THANKS FOR THE GOOD TIMES, GAME! YOU'VE BEEN (AND CONTINUE TO BE) BRILLIANT!

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GAME! Thanks for getting me through grad school, nieces and nephews, two moves, and multiple jobs! I takes my stability where I can find it.

[brat_inslayage]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, GAME.

Me, I refuse to ever grow up, so THERE. A mature person wouldn't try to GIF-spam, after all.





Pfft, maturity. FLYINGTACKLEGLOMPS OF YAY FOREVER.

You don't want to know how long I've been staring at this now.

[stykera]

I was fresh out of college when the game started. Now I am, er, rotten out of college? IDK. Functional adult-hood doesn't sound like too much fun though.

6 years. MADNESS.

[rocksthescarf.livejournal.com]

Happy Birthday, game. You've been there with me since I was 3 weeks shy of 18 and now I'm almost 24. Thanks for making me feel old.

[solo_sword]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, GAME. I'm never growing up. End of story.

I so remember signing Aeryn and Jaye up as juniors when we had to assign them classes because psh, I so wasn't going to be doing this for more than two years.

[longislandiceme]

Graduated university, changed jobs, moved provinces, went back to university... and through it all was this crazy-ass game where I met so many awesome people <3 <3

*sits in corner of game with glass of wine and reminiscences when we all used to type like this*

[Hell yeah, I pulled out this journal. Lookit how bitty he is!]

[pure-blooddraco.livejournal.com]

MAKE ME NOSTALGIC FOR MY OLD CHARACTERS WHY DON'T YOU?

I can't believe I remembered the password for this.

[demonbelthazor]

Six years, same job, three apartments, countless flowers...and hours and hours of emo, laughs, romance, and fabulous friends. HAPPY BIRTHDAY US!

[actingltcrumpet.livejournal.com]

You forgot two states. *helpful*

[can_be_more]

FRY IS MAKING ME POST THIS. Yes, she twisted my arm, and I just had to go and dig up floral hex.

Or if you want, you can just read the book!

[momslilassassin]

Still up there with the Christmas pageant with my favorite things I ever read.

POP QUIZ

[sith_happened]

Or, alternately, "how the hell did THAT start"?

I will begin!

What's the name of the Giant Squid that used to live in the pool?

Re: POP QUIZ

[furnaceface]

Is it Sunshine? I think it's Sunshine.

SUNSHINE?

[absolutesnark]

Happy birthday, game! Has it really been six years? Wow!

In a last bit of nostalgia before I go to bed. From the very early days of my time here:

BATHROOM SIGNS (http://fandomhighdorms.livejournal.com/369417.html)

[annieadderall.livejournal.com]

MEMORIES.

Now I want to put up a bathroom post for some reason.

Let's see if I can do this...

Happy Birthday game!!!!!

Thanks for introducing me to some really awesome people!!!

People who will be knitting with you soon enough!!!!

[icecoldfrost]

I don't think I know any functional adults, even IRL. I think this says something about me.
