I don't remember when I first heard about SuicideGirls, but I was immediately intrigued by the idea. A site devoted to beautiful women with tattoos and piercings...I'm in. I signed up for the site in 2003 and was a member for probably about a year. At the time I was going to school and working full time, but then I quit my job to focus solely on school. I unsubscribed from the site since I no longer had any disposable income. This was a regrettable decision as I had greatly enjoyed the site. While I was not overly active in posting on SuicideGirls, I enjoyed reading the interviews, journals, and comments on the site.
A month ago when I decided to sign up again on the site, I didn't even think about my old account still being on the site (despite not being able to get my usual username on all things internet). I looked up my old username and sure enough it's still there, @kyledp7. It was interesting reading my few journal entries and thinking back to that year and what was going on at that point in my life (is it bad I can't remember the girlfriend that had mono?).
Over the ten years I've been away from SuicideGirls, my life has been a roller coaster ride of ever changing circumstances. Countless crappy jobs, a real deal college degree, a long term relationship that went south due to health issues (more on that later, maybe), numerous apartments and couches, a cute doggy, and finally something resembling a career have made the time fly by. I've been enjoying exploring the site again and seeing what this monster has become over the years. Ten years is a long time to not be part of something as cool as SuicideGirls. I think I may just stick around this time.
