Default A year and a day and 1000 posts.

It's been one year and a day since I signed up at tpunk, and I also have apparently reached the thousand-post mark which has to signify something good (besides intense addiction. )

I just really wanted to say that I love all you guys. This community has become a way bigger part of my life than anything on the internet should be, and I've loved every moment of the ride. I've been honored with the pleasure to meet many of you in person, and you are all amazing people...I hope to meet many more of you in time to come!

As I sit here on the evening before taking off to Jamaica and a new phase of life, I know that part of the reason I keep pursuing the richness of life on the road is thanks to the inspiration I find here. Speaking of new phases, interestingly enough, I'm also about to start a new travel journal since the old one is just about full!

There we go, I hope I don't sound too sappy. I'm a little weary at the moment, but you guys help me keep truckin'.

Girl, I am so with you. I find myself very comitted to Tpunk and truly enjoy giving advice to others and learning things from others as well. Its kinda funny, I joined Tpunk about a year ago this time and I hit 500 posts yesterday. Have a blast in Jamaica and give us the dirt.

You have been a great contributor to the site and an inspiration to us all, never mind a very cool person to hangout with! I think we are all very glad you're here. Have a hell of a time in Jamaica mon!

Thanks guys! I feel loved. :D

And although everyone else thinks it's extremely sketchy that I meet and hang out with people from the internet, I just wanted to say that I don't think you guys are sketchy at all - at least, not so far.
