I remember lurking here for the entire season last year. I wanted to join but knew I would get my head kicked in and, in worst case scenario, create an age limit for joining the board.
But the Mario Williams thread, that was the turning point. Spending 4 days of my spring break reading that thread and realizing that we have a few comedians on here and everybody is pretty cool.
I signed up and when I posted my first post, everything felt different. I was part of the Buffalo Bills "in" crowd and it felt pretty good.
Now, 4 months later, I've gotten my a** kicked a good amount of times but I'm learning; I've caught on to what makes people laugh and what ticks people off. I've witnessed the different personalities on the board and don't hate many of them.
I look forward to the day when I can get to one of the TBD Tailgate parties. Maybe it'll be soon, but I imagine it'll be later; the folks aren't much for meeting people they have never met. Its my dream to get myself into a college around the WNY area and if I make that happen, I'll have to sneak my way over there.
I'm glad I found my way over here. There's no other place I could procrastinate on studying/homework/important stuff than right here.
P.S. Hope I didn't just ruin my street cred on here.
