As The Quaver's 100th post, I wish to detail(generally) the birth and growth of this blog. Yes, I'm delaying the next part of the cloning thing. Probably because I spent the entire day playing Hellgate instead of writing.

It all started... some time ago... on that date Shaun put somewhere on the left. He started the blog(with a better background, may I add) with posts relating to the spiritual and philosophical aspects of life. We'll all also remember the tribute he made to the online game that brought many of us to know each other. I, too, was beginning to open up to posting on the Internet, and I saw this as a great opportunity to expand my audiences. I requested membership, and became a writer. For some months I even had that "master author" thing beside my name. It's meaningless, yeah, I know, but it made me feel happy.

Over the months, we(me mostly) chronographed all the events of our sixteen year-old lives, our woes and sorrows, our joy and another synonym for it. We shared our thoughts on age-old questions, and gave new perspective to everyday things. When we were too lazy to write anything useful, we shared the news, of the strange and the wonderful. Games, and videos were not excluded, all in the continuous quest to entertain. You could always count on Shaun to give us a lot of pictures, and me to tell you all how we're going to die.

The blog(or Platform, as Shaun christened) quickly rose to the attention of our classmates. Comments such as it being "refreshing", or "new" went well to bolstering our confidence. Soon, this little circle of friends would hope for something humorous to read, and maybe pick up a few writing tips.

I tried my best. I updated as often as I could, but sometime in erm... August? Was it August? I can't remember, but my computer began to malfunction, and I couldn't make it online like before. Ah that period sucked a lot. And it turns out that I could have solved the problem in ten minutes if I knew what it was.

At the end of this year, The Quaver is going to undergo a huge makeover, and you can expect a more pleasant experience whenever you visit. There, I said it. Now Shaun is going to have to do it, or we'll disappoint our readers. Heh heh...

Given that tomorrow is the last time we're going to see each other as schoolmates again, I want to express my interest in using this platform as a means to stay in contact after we part ways. I implore every one of you to come back here whenever you can, because we intend to use this place to communicate.

And so, I leave you with a quote...by someone.

"Make new friends but keep the old. One is silver, and the other's gold."

Plus there are ants in my room. AARRRGGHGHGHHH.

And also, we welcome the twins Daniel and Dennis to the blogosphere, and may they not be harmed by the demons that roam it.







Because cats are tasty.
