☆ ┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈ ... foreword :: hello hello everyone! if you don't know me, i'm ray but i believe some of you may know me as evelyn! i'm really excited because, well, today is my scratchiversary! i haven't been on here for as long as other people i know have, but i haven't been on here for only a bit of time. ┈┈┈┈ ... my story :: so. today marks the beginning of my 5th year on scratch, and the end of my 4th.. yes, you heard me right, 4th. i've been on this website for incredibly long, since friday, march 5th, 2021, at 4:58:03 p.m. yes, that long! my journey has had it's ups and downs, seeing as i wasn't even 8 when i joined scratch ( yes, i'm exposing my age. wow me. ) and started to learn to code and draw.. cats. now, i don't code nearly as much, but i still enjoy it as a small, rare hobby. scratch has been ever so kind to me and i'm so glad i could be on scratch for this long. maybe for some of you, it's not my scratchiversary yet, but in my timezone, it is. :: i had joined scratch after a school day during covid. obviously it was online school, so i was on my tablet much more. actually, i didn't even have glasses at the time i made this. i got them afterwards. soon after i joined, i made a friend. @ethan_013. the very first friend i made. they weren't on that account at the time, but now they technically are on the account i mentioned previously. :: sometime after i moved accounts from @autumwing to @fogii_twt, i went inactive for a year or so. i completely forgot about scratch until my friends started talking about it. then it hit me- i had an account of my own. so i went back online. at some point, i didn't feel.. happy, in my account. it was messy, my art was bad, and i was self-conscious. and so i moved, to @cozy-cqttage. and afterwards, to this account. all these years i've been lingering on this website, it was because i didn't have many friends who liked what i liked. warrior cats. i had learned about it before making a scratch account, through a scratch game about it. i made an account so i could make my own and share my passion for art, and inevitably, warrior cats, haha. i was 7 at the time. none of my friends knew warrior cats, obviously. i did intensive research on it and even got the books at 9 years old, maybe 8 actually. i haven't gotten any of the books after the 1st one in the 2nd collection, but i do research on it now. actually, i even made my own fan clans. ┈┈┈┈ ... the game i played that led me to discover warrior cats :: ... all my previous accounts :: :: :: (DELETED, i hate myself for it but i did.) :: :: :: :: ┈┈┈┈ ... afterword :: thank you so, so incredibly much for reading my ramble. i really miss any of the old accounts i've deleted, and i might have some old accounts that i did not list because i forgot their names + they're deleted, but i tried putting as many as i could on there. i really hate myself for deleting them, but there's nothing that i can do about it, really. so, now, well, today commemorates the day i joined scratch. :: my timezone is wib, so if it's 4:58:03 p.m. wib for you at the time that you opened this, or at least around that time, then you should know that i joined at that exact time and moment, and that progressing through my eras in scratch has meant so much to me, and even if i leave scratch i hope i can find this relic of time once more, even if i never see it again afterwards. it's really been a joy spending nearly half my life on this silly website, but i do understand that one day i'll have to leave it, for the good of me and everyone else around me. but, my art and roleplaying journey on here has truly been fantastic, and i hope you can have one like it too. this definitely isn't the longest ramble a scratcher has made about their scratchiversary, in fact it's pretty short, but i'm still really proud about it and love it dearly. :: can't wait to write another thing like this again next year, today. it'll be really fun, as long as i'm still on scratch <3 after all, i'm so incredibly happy for that i have gone this far since i was so young. ... sentimental quotes i like, almost all are about time c: :: ❝ live life to the fullest before it's all gone ❞ :: ❝ time waits for no-one, so make the best of it ❞ :: ❝ every second counts ❞ :: ❝ unconditional love is the most important kind ❞ ☆ ┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈ section 1 - 2 . sunday, 16 feb 25, 7:10 pm section 3 - 4 . monday, 17 feb 25, 5:20 pm last line in final paragraph . friday, 21 feb, 9:50 pm thumbnail change . friday, 21 feb, 9:51 pm shared on . wednesday, 5 mar, 3:15 pm
