I'm discussing this rewrite because it might come across as a bit controversial. I had a well-deserved reputation several years ago for being a general attention whore and drama queen that started fights and banked off my old memes. I do not want to hide, or erase this from my history, because it is a part of who I was and a part of the mark I have left here. That said, some revision was definitely necessary - for instance, the page said I was 13 when I'm 18 now. A lot of time has passed, and I have only really returned to this community in a significant way recently.

It also failed to take into account my leaving of the forum, and my return with my IRL entries.

The page rewrite

I'm discussing this rewrite because it might come across as a bit controversial. I had a well-deserved reputation several years ago for being a general attention whore and drama queen that started fights and banked off my old memes. I do not want to hide, or erase this from my history, because it is a part of who I was and a part of the mark I have left here. That said, some revision was definitely necessary - for instance, the page said I was 13 when I'm 18 now, and January 2012 was apparently recently. My past hatred of the RA2 community is heavily behind me and was significantly misinformed at the time. I apparently still hate bronies. A lot of time has passed, and I have only really returned to this community in a significant way recently.

I have rewritten a significant portion of my page detailing my past, and incidentally had the effect of making it come across less negative - I understand that some may find this troublesome and you have every right to call me out if you think I've washed away history too much in the process, but I feel the old page was written as a product of their circumstances right at the peak of my shittiness. It was hateful because I was hated. It also failed to take into account my leaving of the forum, and of course anything recent.
