Today's my 9th WPea Birthday! :)

Post Reply New Topic

Today's my 9th WPea Birthday! I've joined 9 years ago this afternoon when I was at a low point in my life. Below is my WP timeline:

2004: I've found that I couldn't go to my mum with all of my problems anymore. She was also saying that I did certain things on purpose like speaking the way I do and other things. I had a very rebellious attitude, though I was keeping that attitude inside and hidden by my know it all who knows nothing parents.

2005: I was still very much into the 1960s like I have been for most of my life. I bought my first laptop as well. I was spending a lot of time with my dog, Chico. Things were better between my parents and I until December. The demise of the Routemaster happened that December and if my mum was more empathetic towards me, I would have been over it a lot sooner.

2006: I've alienated myself away from my parents because an old special interest came back. I've originally developed that interest during my trip to Victoria at the age of 5. It came back at the ages 12, 19 and again at the age of 31. My mum made it very apparent that my dad didn't approve and that caused me to have an anxiety attack that evening when I was washing the dishes. I moved out that December. I couldn't take it anymore.

2007: I shared some personal stuff about myself in The Haven that I shouldn't have. My favourite WP member at the time ended a friendship with me as a result. I let my dark moods get the better of me and I turned against Mainstream Society and anything that had to do with society, including The Kinks.

2008: I was still too cynical to get myself out of my society hating mood.

2009: After a horrible Canada Day in which a mainstream girl turned against me for a few days, I've spent the entire summer reevaluating myself and decided that it would be a lot easier and healthier for me to drop the cynical. punkish attitude and start being myself again. I've stopped spiking my hair and wearing black leather and started listening to The Kinks and wearing nice clothes again. I became the fun and CockneyRebel that the original members from the first two years of WP remember me as, and I'm still being true to my not so plain self, four years later.

Happy "Birthday"!

Congratulations and happy birthday!

What would we do without sweet pea hugs? Happy WP Birthday.

Congratulations! Do you know any active WP member who joined WP before you?

Congratulations.

Congratulations

Happy WP birthday Mick! Keep being true to yourself no matter what your parents, society or anyone else says.

Here's a song from me to you. I know the song's about a girl and you're a guy, but the basic message is the same: "you're amazing, just the way you are"!

Happy 9th! A bowl of pea soup to celebrate?
