My first comment. I remember being so nervous about posting since i've always been shy now thinking back it was stupid
of me to feel this way because no one really gives a shit about what you gotta say.

Yeah I was super nervous back when I popped my comment cherry as well

The first anime series that I ever watched all the way through was Death Note. That's when I learned that anime can be edgy, strategic, and non-child-friendly all at the same time, and not just things like Naruto and Vampire Knight.

My first publicly readable fanfic was a .hack// story full of wish fulfillment self-inserts. My family had really lousy internet at the time (dial-up in a time where DSL was rapidly becoming commonplace). That series gave me a greatly over-inflated expectation of what playing an MMORPG was like, and what they were capable of, so I was obsessed with it for a while.

I still love MMORPGs, but haven't really played one properly since Blade & Soul Global was released.

The first time I got Lyme disease was in middle school, and was absent for few weeks. It felt awful, and unfortunately I actually ending up getting it a couple times after that, too. The second time being in college, where I found out I likely had it for a year already; which explained the intense drowsiness and failed courses. And, the third time was a couple of years ago. My dog and I got it at the same time, and were put on the same medication.

The first memory I have about my life is when I was three years old I went to kindergarten school and do something art involving a picture of fruit, a pillow, and a nail.

I was gonna talk about my first time, and one of only four times, stealing. But it wasnt that interesting to be honest.

I remember my first time doing the Helicopter Underwater Escape Training. Sitting there inside a small box with a bunch of other guys, trying to remain calm as the water rises knowing that any second now the damn thing will drop and rotate through 180 degrees leaving you strapped to your seat, upside down, with a small window to open and get through.

If that wasn't bad enough, you have to repeat the course every four years.

My first (commissioned) survey involved tracking and taking pictures of the coat patterns of every single feral goat (or as many as I could find over two months) present in a small, isolated valley.

By the survey's end I'd managed to carve out a pretty comfortable living situation for myself. I'd made arrangements with a local retiree/glorified hermit who lived in the middle of said valley to be able to sleep in their greenhouse, as anything was preferable to camping out and getting devoured by midges. I was never at risk of starving, but halfway in my diet was almost entirely canned soups/beans/veggies, with the occasional pasta for dinner. I had no car, so every few weeks I'd take a break from chasing goats and go on long round trips to the nearest local farmsteads and buy eggs and jam off them. Just to switch things up a little.

I'd even brought a small work laptop with me, and was pleasantly surprised to find the entirety of Gundam 0079 and Zeta buried amongst all my spreadsheets and photos. At night or on days with bad-enough weather I could snuggle with some of the owner's cats (she must have had at least six of them) and marathon those anime for hours.

Overall, probably some of the best time I've ever had.

@PantsMan
I thought you were going to say that you were never at risk from starving because there were plenty of goats. 😃

Thinning the herd would have definitely made my job easier.

My first message on this thread. I remember it like if it was last week....
I was really stressed, all the guys before me told very interesting stories and I wanted to do the same.
... but in the End I couldn't, I lived a pretty uneventful life, so instead I wrote some cheap joke.

The first time I use this screen capture stuff too.

My first Day(and Last) on Reddit. I take the head of R/AnimeGifs in 6 hours.

Spoiler

I just wanted to see how well I could do on another forum than MangaDex.
To feed my small Ego you see.
Reddit isn't fun tbh, too much quantity, not enough quality.

My first time hearing a black MIDI (here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O3Nc4iR7rGA) and really the first time liking any kind of music.
Before encountering this song, I was not really interested in music... at all. All I knew was „mainstream“ music, and at least to me it didnt leave any significant impression. But hearing this song opened a different world, that I didnt know of before, for me. Though, I guess thats normal when for the first time you hear a song you really like. Still, even now whenever I hear it, I get shivers.
