If you could take back all the time you spent editing

But ya, I go to Anime North regularly, and realise there are "some" people my age hehe.
Anything under 30 though, seems like a kid to me (no offense).
under 30 =/= teenager

do we have a new contender for oldest on the org?
Vlad is as old as they get i think
though its much more fun to call godix old...
Pretty sure oldwrench is in his mid 60s. (Sorry if I'm making you more than your actual age!)

Yeah, I thought oldwrench was the oldest too. I mean, he's a grandfather.

I have a lot of other hobbies that I like to do, and those have gotten backed up by a fair amount. By trying to make amvs I only pushed those farther back, and added more things to the list. Granted, I've never spent more than a month on a video; I prefer to plan and edit continuously until the project's finished. It's not like they're masterpieces either; I know one brought torture to a few souls. So yeah, there are a lot of things I could have been doing instead of trying to edit.

However, I don't regret it. If it wasn't fun, or I didn't enjoy it, I just wouldn't do it =/ It's something I wanted to do, and by finishing the amvs, I fulfilled my visions and dreams quite successfully. After all, I have to put my names on these, and it's a lot harder to stand by something even you aren't proud of. Even if it wasn't the best decision, I'm glad I went through with it.

I went through my teen years, and never once even so much as kissed a girl. And I gotta tell you, I think I screwed up hehe.
I don't want to have any sexual Contact in my teen years anyways. (Yeap, I count kissing as sexual contact) and this is something I stand for. Some may say thats pathetic, but thats how I feel and live.

I know its off-topic but I felt like saying this =|

Same for me...

I'd probably be starting my own fansub group or finishing up my hentai games. Hohoho!

Yah. Oldwrench is definately the oldest member.. Although I haven't seen him around in a long ass time.

I'd be happy to not be the oldest

I hate always being the old guy in most things I do.

I'm the oldest in my rolegaming group.

I'm the oldest of my anime friends.

Hmm I haven't had a wargaming buddy in some time.

None of my friends were around when comics were 5 cents.

I watched the moon landing live by the way. Was just a kid at the time though.

I was around the year of the Bay of Pigs incident (but I was a new arrival that year hehe).

So why does an old bugger like me enjoy anime? Hmm if you had lived through the Cold War you'd appreciate watching something silly, funny, and escapist too.

I think I more regret the times I was slacking off professionaly: in front of the TV or aimlessly surfing on the Web. I can never do enough editing (and all the other creative stuff I do) in my life!

I would have probably started playing poker alot sooner and probably be homeless somewhere in Vegas. I dont regret anything though, I have met alot of cool people as a result of editing and enjoyed every moment I've spent at conventions and AMV contests watching my vids get played. Good times...
