Hello everyone!! ^_^

Tbh I doubt anyone will see this news post, but I just thought I'd make one anyways considering I've never made one before!

First things first, it was my birthday on the 20th :D I turned 17! I got a lot of gifts (including a new computer!) so all in all it was a very happy day.

Second of all:

Excuse the crappy circle, but...

WOW!!

9 whole years since making this account!!

Would you believe it?? That'd make me 7 years old (almost turning 8) when I made this account! And the fact that I've been using Newgrounds for longer and that I honestly just made it on a limb without ever using it is crazy to me too!

I know that's a bit weird tbh, and some people are probably turning their heads at me for that, but I'm honestly glad I was able to experience this site (and other sites) at such a young age. Who knows what type of stuff I'd miss if I used the internet at a later age? And I'd say I'm a bit lucky too, as my experience with the internet at a young age was great!

And out of all the sites to grow up with, I'm very glad I grew up with Newgrounds <3 As a young boy I loved all the games and animations, and now that I'm a bit older I love and respect all the creators and the community on this site! I'm very thankful that this website exists, and without it, I probably wouldn't be who I am today. Thank you Newgrounds!

All that sappy stuff aside, I do have some minor news I'd like to share!

I bought 20 raffle tickets for the Newgrounds Podcast Block Party!

Even if I don't win anything, I'm very happy to support the great people behind the Newgrounds Podcast for giving me something to listen to while I play my games :D

And even if no one sees/reads this news post, I enjoyed writing it! See you all later! ^_^
