Well, it finally happened: My Newgrounds account is officially old enough to drink.
No, I'm not old.
You're old!
I was going to make a big deal about my 20th anniversary last year but it just so happened I was having too much fun traveling around with @JesseJayJones (I met him on here all those years ago!) and @MushroomMadame. So I acted as a tour guide and showed them around the Netherlands for a week. We explored the city of Amsterdam with @Curzec, had some drinks with @Jesssebes and ate sushi with the lovely boys from @64bitsanimation.
And on the exact day when my account turned 20 years old, we took a flight to have a 10-day trip around the UK, where we met up with our new tour guide at the airport: Lee, aka @mrpaintyman! And we hung out with our other friends Lou, @Kylazaur, Dee, @littlew00d and @AfroAmpharos for a few days. Unfortunately I was having too much fun and completely forgot to make a celebratory anniversary post from the comforts of my hotel room! I can't believe it's already been a year since then!
After that, we traveled around the country some more and met up with @wallpaperman in his lovely hometown. He's an old friend of Jesse and I. We used to talk on MSN all the time and did some animation collabs together back in the day so it was a little surreal having all three of us in the same room after so many years. Jesse and I sat and watched him make this piece of shit, which somehow made it through the portal without getting blammed lmao!
Towards the end of our trip we met up with DoigSwift, had lunch with them and ventured around in search of coffee and art supplies. Then soon enough, it was about time to say goodbye to everyone and fly back home. However, @K7vin and his wife went on a eurotrip just recently, so it wasn't too long ago I got to ride some rollercoasters with Discord friends! It's also really hard to believe my visit to Picoday was almost 10 years ago by now! Time sure flies, I'd love to visit again!
So this isn't exactly a recap of the past 21 years but I do strongly feel I owe a lot of great friends and memories from being part of the Newgrounds community. It's been an amazing few years on this website... But NO.
I'm not crying, you're the one that's crying!
And you're old!
...thanks for being awesome Newgrounds. Love you <3
