This is post #30000, for me.

I've gone through some changes, over the past 6 years.

I was a Mod, back in the summer of 2004, when I became a member. I was an Austin Powers fan, and my favourite rock group was The Kinks. I was still living with my parents at the time, but it was really time for me to move out, at that point. I also liked Routemasters.

In 2007, after I've departed from a friend, over the Internet, my depression and psychosis came back, for a two and a half year visit. I became this fake, dark minded Punk Rocker, out of pain and rebellion. I've gone back to Mental Health, twice, to see if the staff there, could help me to get back to being that happy little Mod that I knew. I was turned away, twice.

Fast forward to late 2009 and early 2010. I'm back to being that cheerful Mod that I knew, only better. I'm not the cheerful Mod that I was, in 2004, but the even more cheerful and wholesome Mod that I was, in 1996, at the age of 21, before Austin Powers was even in the picture. It's even turned out, that I didn't need eyeglasses to begin with. Some of the people in those buildings just wanted to get money off me, to pay their rent. I'm listening to The Kinks, as much as I did, when I was 21, in 1996. I listen to other music, too, mind you. 8) I'm also dressing like The Kinks, once again, because that's a part of who I truly am.

How did this all happen? My second last day as a fake punk, I prayed to God that the people at Stepping Stones and WrongPlanet, would see me as I was, before I got sick, back in the 1990s. 8)
