I agree wholeheartedly with Anchorhead's post about our generation being socially immature. The internet is the blessing, and the curse, that our generation has been given.

On the subject of nostalgia, I believe that this forum wouldn't exist if the original Star Wars movies were available in high quality. There's something about not being able to instantly access our nostalgia that rubs our generation the wrong way, and many of us stay here because of nostalgia withheld. If the OUT ever becomes available, it may be the death of this place.

Finally, about Anchorhead's comment about writing a book at 18:

After, and even during high school I felt the opposite way about the accomplishments in my life. I felt like I had not even scratched the surface of all that there was. My life was in upheaval, and I was revising every deeply held belief I ever held. In such a situation, how can someone express themselves if they don't even know who they are? What good is the word of a kid who knows nothing of the real world? This outlook is rather unfortunate, because before that I had written a novel in my spare time, not ever planning to publish it, for it wasn't worthy of publishing. But that wasn't the point. It is in actually doing something that power lies, and that's something that our generation has forgotten to some degree.

So yeah, feel that nostalgia for this revived thread!
