James T. Kirk

Yesterday was technically my one-year, but had a rough day medically so I'll do this post today.

I can't believe it's been one year since this all started. This time last year, I had been RPing with cso_spock for more than a month and we had been rockin' through emails. She and I would giggle over the kink_meme. Then one day, I spotted letspunchit and realized - it was another RPer! I made this account (account name history: someone said a fic was 'kirktastic', name stuck with me XD) and sent Pike this absolutely goofy 'official' Starfleet email asking why he was trolling around on the meme. Through him, I met the original Kirk and Spock, Sulu and Chekov, dctr_mccoy... I can remember doing a thread with Harold and Sulu that was entirely icon based. XD

Since dctr_mccoy did the 'list awesome threads' post, I won't. XD

Things have changed a great deal since then. Mentally, physically, RPly, friendships, people. Sometimes, I wish it were still that simple as it had been, before things got more complicated. I go back to the kink_meme and ICly comment once in a while, but it's sad I don't get the responses from other RPers like I did once. Not that the kink_meme itself is in tip-top shape, but what can you do? ^^

Jim has changed as well. I go back over old threads and smile. I worry if he's OOC sometimes, but I remember my mindscape about RPing - if a character doesn't evolve, it's not real. It's amazing to watch how he's evolved over a year of time, more than a year since the Narada, how he's grown.

And how the friendships I have with so many of you have grown. I met dctr_mccoy in real life and had one of the best weekends of my life. XD I wanna fly out to CA and meet cso_spock. I wish some of you crazy people lived closer!

Anyway... tl;dr, thank you. To all of you, for making this last... for making it great.

[OOC:

This is going to be a post that'll be updates on what's going on with me and D*C! I'll be updating from my laptop if I can and from my iPhone otherwise. Man, internet is expensive in Atlanta! Just track this thread and I'll be posting updates in comments underneath. ]
