Formspring memory lane

Today is memory lane day!

So here's the story about how I got into formspring in the first place.

Formspring was a question, and answer website that started in 2009. By 2013, it got changed to Spring.me, which in my opinion, and countless others, was a very porno type of name.
Even though it became Spring.me, I still call it Formspring.

But the way I got into Formspring, is very much of a domino effect.

This all started back in 2010..

I was on a forum called Wober, and someone made a topic about a cool new ask, and answer site called formspring. I joined in January 2010, just to advertise my forum. My advertisements weren't going anywhere, so I just left.

 Fast forward to a few months later in the summer...

I was on bing, orbviously, looking for a sugar daddy. (jk lol)

I typed in something gay, and I found a yahoo answers question. One person who answered, said something really homophobic. I wanted to "thumb down" their answer, but it wouldn't let me because I wasn't a "level two". So I decided, I would become a level two on yahoo answers so I could thumb down a negative question!
Well, I got really attached to Yahoo answers, I was on it all the time. I eventually became a level three, but by the time I was a level two, I had forgotten about the answer I wanted to thumb down.
 I lost the link, and forgot about it, which is funny since the only reason I used Yahoo Answers, was for that purpose.  I ended up making a friend named Jye, he was a cool bisexual Asian guy around my age, but younger. I think he was 18, or 19 and I was 20. He liked anime, video games all that stuff. I found him on yahoo answers, and he had a formspring. I figured I'd stop by again, and say hi to him on there.
Jye was a blast to talk to! And eventually I made friends with a girl named Teri Pterodactyl, who was also cool. Teri was also a jerk at the same time, and was also friends with two gay boys,  "Outer Spacer" and "Noel Joel".
Joel, was a shy kid who likes anime, and video games, especially Legend of Zelda. Outer Spacer, was an energetic kid, but also kind of a brat.

Teri and I would have conversations about Jye, because he just kind of disappeared!
She was telling me that he was suicidal, and that she's worried about him! She linked me to one of his yahoo answers questions.
It doesn't let you see his answer/questions anymore, but for research purposes, his old profile is here. I advise anyone, not to message this account, as if he is still around, not to pester him. This is just for research use.  account.



One day, Jye vanished from Formspring, Teri and I were worried.The only good thing is that his account got disabled, and went back and forth from disabled/non-disabled. Teri mentioned you can only disable if you do it, Formspring doesn't just delete accounts, especially not for a reason. There was still hope that Jye was alive, but unfortunately we never heard from him again. It was upsetting to me because he was really cool, and fun to talk to.
Despite Jye's disappearance, I still got along, and talked with Teri, Joel and Spacer, we made a bit of a four musketeers.
I was later introduced to my friend Braylon Bay, who I talked to for a long time. (I ended up blocking him on facebook, because he would only comment on my facebook posts when it was about politics, and was always negative about it.) he was one of Teri's friends, and actually doesn't remember her anymore, and doesn't realize we met through her!

Joel knew this bisexual guy I can't remember the name of, but I want to say his name was "Mystery" or something similar to Thumper. Him and I had about the same taste in men, we both love older muscular guys. Last I heard from him, he ended up with a flamboyant guy, he went up and vanished too.
Since I was having Formspring fever, I had also used FS to find my real life friend Toche, and ask her some questions,as well as my online friend Thais.

Eventually, me and teri broke it off, because she was turning into a jerk. She was accusing me of posting "disturbing images". It was two anime girls with a birthday cake, and she thought it was pedo worthy. She was the only one that thought that too, when I showed it to other people, they didn't think anything of it. So I think it was her, who came up with weird thoughts, and then got mad at me for posting the picture. She was all.. I know you're gay, but that's too far. I was like what are you even talking about?! I was over how rude she was to me constantly, and that was just the last straw, so I told her I didn't appreciate how she was talking to me.
Teri wasn't sure if she was Asexual, or a Lesbian. So it's quite possible it was just her,if she had any feelings for girls  maybe she just saw it as weird, because to her, that picture was MORE than just two grills with a cake.



Later on I met more friends, ericcartman, likes south park, and K pop. Pan Tokki likes anime, IDBATMAN, Jack L  likes anime, and works with a company that helps graphic designers jobs. Lord Sir knight from england, Chocomax who likes using Hitler as her pictures as a joke, all whom I have on facebook and stay in touch with.
As well as two asexuals, who are unfortunately the only asexuals I've ever met knowingly. Which is also sad since I have yet to meet an asexual in real life.

I also became friends with a kid named Ronan, he was 15 when I first talked to him, and somehow he's already like 21 and I'm just like.. they grow up so fast.. *tear*... Although I may or may not be jealous that I'm like 5 years older than him and he has already had boyfriends before and I'm here collecting dust all. I've never even been kissed,but anyways, Logan is hilarious. Definitely one of the funniest people that I know the existence of, he's always posting funny things on facebook.
Ronan and I became great friends and we have a rare friendship where we bash each other and call each other ho's, sluts and puta's (Oh my!)...
Unfortunately, we slowly stopped talking around 2015, and are no longer in contact anymore.

Eventually, Outer Spacer and Joel had a fight, Joel is kind of a creeper.. He loves twinks, especially in tank tops, but he was being too creepy with Spacer, writing love poems and saving pictures of Spacer on his computer.

..creeeeeepy..

Spacer even got in touch with the local authorities, the cops actually came to Joels house! Although nothing happened,  I do hope that Joel learned something from this!
He's a good kid, he's great with English. One of the few people online that I know that always make sure to use proper grammar, punctuation, and spelling! He just has to stay away from the creeper side, and everything will be great!

Mystery, Teri, and I were like... WOAH. But we also though that Spacers reaction was rather harsh, and Mystery was really mad at Spacer. (Even though I didn't talk to Teri anymore at this point, we did reconnect shortly about this incident)

Ronan and Joel spoke for a while, Joel is afraid everyone thinks he's annoying. Ronan don't care.. nothing bothers him, except for Michelle Bachman, but who doesn't that woman bother?!

....anyways...

I also met a girl named Mystique, she was so much fun to talk to! She also became friends with Ronan as well. She got me into the show Supernatural, as she had showed some gay themed gifs of the show that piqued my interest in it.







Mystique was in a confused state, she thought she was bisexual. She had a thing for hats, and talking about peeing...
Her and I share a similar taste for black comedy, some things were just so gruesome but we loved, or agreed with it.

Eventually, I became friends with lot's and lot's of anime fans on the Formspring. As did Braylon.
I met some interesting people, such as Teen Team, who I have on facebook, he has his own comic and tends to have a more offensive taste of humor, as do I.

Milky, I had also became friends with a bit earlier too, she got in with all of the anime kids too and kept getting banned for stupid reasons. lol

There was a particular feud with two girls Ketchup and Cosgrow, I don't know what happened. But I was upset with one of them because she didn't like to answer me very often, and there were cues that she didn't really want to talk to me, so I was like #ByeFelicia

Eventually, I got my friends Chaco, Sage and Queen on Formspring, even though they didn't use it that much. Chaco, of course had to go on Teri's profile, and continuously spam her as to why she had been mean to me, even though it was at least a year later...XD

Eventually, Formspring was getting too addicting, and I was procrastinating way too much! I was trying to leave., so I'd leave, and came back, as did Mystique. She'd leave for long periods of time, and I was so happy when she would come back, she would literally make my day when she came back on formspring.
I wasn't too much of a fan of her friend "Betsy with the bad hair" though, she was ignorant and thinks people should have straight pride day... liek gurl seriously.. ¬_¬ And just in case you're wondering... we don't need straight pride for the reason below...




After Mystique left for a while, she came back, and I loved that she came back, I was excited. However, it didn't last long, Mystique started changing. She started to become very nasty, not only to me, but everyone else too.
Eventually it got to the point where I was once excited to talk to her, and eventually, I dreaded talking to her. She would put me down, or just be really nasty, and would just put me in a bad mood. I eventually broke it off with her, and It took me like four days to recover. I was so depressed because she had been such a fun, and interesting person, and somehow over night she became this intolerable asshole

I have a few blog posts about her, and I used the surname Mystique.. as seen here http://hotspotsportal.blogspot.com/search/label/The%20Mystique%20Series

After I broke it off with Mystique, I became friend hungry. I wanted some new friends!
I particularly became friends with two people, SexyLexi.. which I don't know why she chose that name.. and Lord Of Storm's End, who is a friend of IDBATMAN.

Libby is actually the girlfriend of Braylon, which is how we had met. An avid anime fan and cosplayer.
Lord of Storms End is a friend of IDbatman, who I had been following on formspring and chatted with from time to time. He shares the same interests for sci fi and fatasy shows like Supernatural and Teen Wolf, and we're both gay, so we hit it off pretty well.

Eventually, Mystique wanted to apologize after 4 months, and I took her apology. But it wasn't the same, we just naturally did not talk that often anymore, we couldn't be friends like we used to, it just wasn't the same anymore.
Eventually I left formspring for good, even though I may pop on to answer a question here or there, I stay away from it because it was so addicting, and I need to do more important things in my life.

Mystique had said something that I find sweet, when I made my goodbye question to everyone on formspring..

"For the best.

Have a nice life baby"

After that, I bid adieu.. and to think that this was all because of one person saying something ignorant on yahoo answers that lead me to all of this, all of the friends, the fights, the fun I shared.. and the addiction of being on that site, last year, I closed an interesting chapter on my life too...

(This next part, where I name people. Isn't really needed in the blog, but I'll keep it in for nostalgia's sake)
I still have a few people on facebook, including. Lord of Storms end, IDBATMAN, Sexy Lexi,  Ronan, Joel, Jack, Ericcartman, Pan, TeenTeam, and of course my other friends Thais, Toche, Chaco and Queen. (Sage doesn't exist, he's actually Chaco, the real Sage prefers not to go online that much anymore.)
(As of 2019, Ronan deleted me on facebook years back. Which was rude, we were good friends! I don't really talk to anyone from there anymore, but most of the people right above, I have on FB. I really only talk to my friend Van now, and he's close friends with IDBATMAN, who wants to be anonymous. So I still talk to them.)

This was all made because Lord of Storm's End, Van.. because we were discussing something and I was like.. oh man I have a nostalgia boner now!!! I have to write!!!!
