Started playing in 2006 or so, sort of an escape from reality since I didn't really have a good time in school. Ended up fucking over a lot of grades since I ended up playing too much.
Today I have a girlfriend (Been together for two years next month), have a good paying job that I love, a lovely dog, lovely car, sweet apartment. I play wow now and then with friends mostly.
Since I started playing in 2006, that's 8 years. 8 years is 1/3 of my life.. So, a lot of things can happen in that time, obviously!
