Ancient Clan
Festival - First Impressions
Saiel - Friday Apr 30, 2004 11:00 pm
Post subject: First
Impressions
So I'm wondering,
What were everyone's first impressions of other
people?
For instance, when I first "met" Lady, I had her age totally
wrong...and I imagined her as a sort of emo-ish, angsty writer with black-rimmed
glasses who read fantasy novels. 
I thought Cammy was a
girl for quite some time after he joined...
And I remember really
disliking Vegi and Pimpy at first, (they were associated in my mind for some
reason...I think they joined right at the same time or something,)...I think
because there was some kind of 17+ babes forum going on, and I thought them
perves for entering...something to that effect.
So...anyone else?

It's kindof strange
but I never really get first impressions... Either that or I always get the same
first impressions so that it seems like I don't get them...

It would seem that we've come full circle, no?
I remember some things, small things. Nothing, really.
My
memory of that time is scattered and incomplete, an enourmous puzzle strewn
about an unclean room. It was a very awkward time for me, so much chaos and
confusion, though many of the people I met on this forum had a devestating
impact on me at the time.
Most of the people I would care to remember
are no longer here, and those that remain are not the same people I befriended.
It's inevitable, I suppose, that we fall out of touch. sight. reach.—it is not
time that changes people, rather, it is the changing of people that pushes time
steadily forward.
I regret a lot of what I said back then, and I regret
even more what I didn't say. People as a form
of entertainment? amusment? Pathetic. I tend to forget this, this concept
that other people are truly that—people—rather than self-sufficient robots or
elaborate toys.
I'm rambling. I've been writing for hours.
Oh, and I do remember
thinking that Cloud was a girl. Or maybe that he wanted to be. Or maybe I made
that up for the sake of this post.
Here's a cheerful emote for those of
you that found any of this offensve. -->  See? Happy. It's all
good.

That’s rather
cold and unwarranted.
I couldn’t possibly assign like or dislike to you
as of current day, due to what your own post mentioned—we’re not the same people
we once were.
I have many clear memories…too many, possibly, to a point where I wonder
what was I thinking, investing so much life in this board…and I know just as
clearly who affected me the most, whose impressions were lasting and golden.
And maybe those people never knew what they truly meant to me, or they
do and they’re simply overwhelmed by indifference.
But at least I know who impacted me the most. Who never
completely left my mind. Due to one
reason or another, their memory maintained mental clarity.
So that does
sting a bit. You don’t have to care, but I still do. If nothing else, then at
least about preserving the positive memories I can still recall. They’ll fade
eventually, just like the relationship itself.
But maybe so long as a
single memory survives, some small fraction of that once-realized contentment
can remain.
For someone.
We've all grown up and out in different
ways, so I suppose it's only natural for the screens of recollection we view the
past through to be varied. For one person's positives to be another's negatives,
and vice versa.
Maybe I'm just too optimistic.
Another lesson,
another chance to grow up a bit.

You forgot to
read.
I don't want to do this
again. I would prefer not to revisit the emotional wreckage that defaces the
coastline of this beautful island called self-preservation.
Maybe
everything I've said is a lie. Maybe I'm bitter. Maybe I need to forget.
Maybe—it must be.

Yeah, so I'm still actually really new to this whole internet thing (I've only
had access to the net for about a year-and-a-half now, not very long, eh?). I
use to be able to get online every now and then - like at friends houses and
stuff - but that always had a specific purpose, I was never able to just wander
around.
To show my naivety about the web; here's the process of what led
me to join AC.
1. I own my own, very basic, website w/ two of my
friends; it has a PHPBB forum as well and I wanted to get a new av.
2. I
did a search for FF:AC av's and I found two of Dubird's (which are friggen
amazing, I must say).
3. I wanted to ask her if I could download them
and use them (I was just trying to be polite) and I discovered that you guys had
a forum, so I joined to ask her for permission.
4. I thought it was
really cool that you guys used PHPBB,
too!!! I was like, "WOW!!" (<-- naivety); I had no idea that so many others
did.
5. You guys had a cool site with similar interests to myself, so I
stayed.
First impression: I felt like I moved to a new city; there was
this whole aura of 'I am the new guy on the street' and everyone else has been
here. You guys had history (more than I originally thought) and had
relationships; I did my best to respect the fact that I was (and still am) a
noob. I joined in the discussions where I knew and had interest in the topic;
and I was in awe of the topics that represented the relationships and history of
the people here at AC.
I was grown up with a very 'respect your elders'
background and, just as an example, Saiel and DX, you're both younger than me;
but on AC, it's the other way around. I felt like all of the vets here at AC
respected that attitude and I appreciated that. I really want to be a part of
the history at AC, and I'm trying to contribute as much as I know how to (hence
- Iron Dragon). I know I'll never be able to replace the history that has been;
but new events always continue to unfold in life. People come and go, and
everyone has to move forward or else they'll get stuck in The Melancholy and the
Infinite Sadness.
To me, when I joined, AC represented the something
that I am striving to achieve with my website. My first impression was that AC
was a great place.
I was right.

After long
enough, it's easy to learn to ignore cynical additives such as a lone smilie
attempting to deflect any negative feedback flung your way.
But if all
of your memories are so grotesquely unpleasant, then maybe there is no point.
I would have tried, though. I don't particularly enjoy scrapping that
great an area from my subconscious.
But if you already have, I see no
reason not to anymore.

Since I joined not to long ago I have only realy pissed one person off (sorry

in person any impression I do get only last for a minute.

 I did too. I still haven't
seen a picture of Sledge, so I still picture him as the GTO character (haven't
seen the anime yet) that has always been his AV/sig since I've been on.

Althogh (**Warning Repatitve Statement---->) I've only been here since
yesterday, My first impression of the Site is cool.
Sledge he is cool,
Because he is a fellow chris.
So far i have been judging people based on
avs / sigs trying to figure them out, and so far it has bene harder to tell how
old people are than what sex they may be.
I find it iteressting in the
fact that I would think most people in a place like this would be at least my
age of 22 but I am wrong in the fact that I have found many younger people here
still in school. This is cool causr it brings back my fond memories of when I
was in High School  sometimes i wish i could go
back and do it again just for the hell of it.
but enough of my jibber
jabber my first impression of most every one and the site it self is excelent
and in the future I hope to give off a good impretion to those who are here and
to those who may come.

You're crazy... Why on eath

decent one. Decent mind you. Not great, not good, just decent.

PlaneShaper: i'm responsible for you signing up here?....o.@......
anyhoo, i don't remember my first impressions....i was just getting
into Gundam Wing and i stumbled across this from DBG when it was still in the
'white' old-skool stage.....it was right at the end of the Ling war.....b/c i
remember asking what the hell all the Ling stuff was about....*LOL*.....i joined
b/c someone made a comment about GW and i wanted to reply...then, i saw that
most people had these neat sig images and i wanted one.....which was really
hokey, but whatever....it started me on the road to where i am
today.....^_^.....
i can say honestly that i've met some good people
here....i've met some sucky people here....i've also met some people here that
were good for a time and i became good friends with, but later turned out to be
sucky.....i've had that happen to me in several online places, not just
AC.....so i have become rather cyncal over the years....i'm not going to drop my
friends that i have made, but i'm very wary about trying to make new ones ya
know?.....anyways, that's my ramble for now....
