3,000 Post!
I hope you guys don't mind, but I'm going to go ahead and say some things now.
I've been on tumblr for 6 months now, having started my blog back at the end of February. In the past 6 months, I have:
Quit all my reviewing jobs
Slowly inched my way out of the closet online
Gotten into more fandoms that should be humanly possible
Helped start, maintain, and then leave a regular Tinychat group
Taken more topless pictures than a normal human should take within 6 months
Gotten called everything from "the sluttiest chub on tumblr" to someone's "number #1 tumblr crush of all time"
Made some of the best friends online... some better than the friends I've made in real life
Watched plenty of my followers get into relationships that remind me all too often of how lonely I am sometimes
In any case, it's had it's ups and downs. The tumblrcoaster has been one of the best rides I've ever taken, though.
For those of you who don't know, when I'm not "justagamerwithatongue," who happens to be smart, funny, out, cute, happy, liked, and, wanted, I'm Christopher Spring in real life, this closeted, to-himself guy.
I'm a military brat, which means any friends I make, I end up leaving behind 4 years later. I haven't lived in any town longer than 5 year of my life, and the majority of people I've made friends with, have forgotten me.
As far as my family goes, I've never felt close to them. I normally end up feeling like I didn't turn out the way they planned, and that they can't wait for me to leave so that my bedroom can be changed into a sewing room.
Tumblr is the first place I have opened up, and not felt alienated. I never have felt so... accepted... for who I am. I never found people like the friends I've made on here... friends who listen, friends who care about little things.
Screw what people say, about how someone hundreds of miles away can't possibly be as much as a friend as someone who lives next door. My next door neighbors are retired old folks with a house that smells like soap. I'd rather have any one of you guys in a heart beat.
You guys are some of the best friends I have ever had.
And I mean that from the bottom of my heart.
Okay. Enough crying.
I recently reached 300 followers (Thank you), so it wasn't difficult coming up with people I wanted to include in this post. But, I just can't help but feel like I'm forgetting some people.
If you feel like you should have been on here, I'm sorry. I really am.
myrevengewillbe-beartastic (Dominic) - As my first follower, you're up first! I'm so glad you followed me, because you definitely run one of my favorite blogs, even if you post a lot of things I wish I could buy, and not being able to makes me sad. It's been great blogging with you for these past 3,000 posts, and I look forward to the next 3,000!

And... well, I know that the people who need to hear this most likely aren't going to hear this, but...
To all the members of the Tinychat group I used to help run... I miss you guys. I hope you guys are doing well, sources tell me that you guys are continuing to grow every day! Just know that I still love ya, and miss ya, even if you don't feel the same!
I love you all loads! Let's hope the next 3,000 posts are as good as the last 3,000!
