UH HEY THERE TST. Knightblazer or AKA that one crazy youngster who lacks a life and really needs to have a better hobby other than lurking in this RP here once again. As most of us are so very aware, the anniversary of this most wonderful roleplay is soon about to arrive! And as your resident lurker/stalker and glorified chat uke it is thus my duty to do something extremely fail and so with that thought I thus present to you all The TST Timeline of 2009... part one, or simply that very classy table diagram of events from January until May.
Again, I've tried to be as general as possible here, but being the failure that I am I would have most likely overlooked something and blah blah blah. So if you fine people do spot anything That Should Be Added, please do inform me here and I will immediately rectify this error. For those who weren't here earlier, there's the time line for last year right
here, so feel free to catch up with just about everything in 13.571 minutes.
So before I show it, let me take this opportunity to give a nice little shout out from me to all of you awesome people and especially to the mods who made this game possible. Thank you all so much, and know that despite everything I say and do I will always love you all.
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TST!!
- once again with loads of ♥♥♥, Knightblazer
