    Wanted to quote Man On The Internet's "Entry No. 17 - Dark, Darker, Yet Darker", but not sure how many people would have got it.

    Anyway, it's me, Necrose, back again after 5 long years. Kind of forgot to try to find my way back after getting a laptop in 2019. So what's new with me? Well, I got a dedicated gaming laptop with economy stimulus money in 2021, this July makes 9 years at my job, I'm now making double digits an hour as of this passed November, I have been playing Neverwinter on my PlayStation 4 since August 2019 and hope to get a PlayStation 5 someday and play Final Fantasy XIV, Elder Scrolls Online, Guild Wars 2, and Star Wars: The Old Republic all occasionally on said gaming laptop, got a Nintendo Switch last year and love it, got a smart phone a couple of years ago after initially insisting I didn't need one, and am currently contemplating getting a new couch because my current one is getting worn out, not that I make enough to randomly go out and just buy a new couch on a whim. Gotta be strategic about this kind of thing.

    That said, still bisexual but inexperienced, still no car, still don't like being around people when it's not necessary, still live alone and like being single, and have embraced the childfree life. But I have taken an interest in learning how to cook, so there's that.

    Hello and a great big LGBTQIA+ welcome back to Empty Closets! :old_smile: I can remember the first post that I made on EC. I was desperate for help and I got the help that night that I so needed. I hope that we can help you in the same way that I received help. The most important thing to remember about Empty Closets is that we do care about you! We're very glad that you found us here on EC and hope that we can answer questions, give you support and provide a place to vent (as long as it's not violent!) :old_big_grin: when that becomes necessary!

    *****There are 18 different sub-forums here that you can check out and join in the conversations or start your own thread/conversation. When I first joined Empty Closets I was in need of a lot of support and encouragement and I found it here…EC is a safe place. I hope that you'll find good things here too! Folks here will talk to you and share...you don't have to be afraid of asking questions...we're glad to have you! In particular you may want to check out the forum that is titled "Sexual Orientation”, there are people there who have dealt with some of the same kind of issues that could be challenging you.

    Some info on how to navigate EC:
    When you have made at least 10 posts on various threads you will be able to post messages on a member's Profile Page. Just click on a member's Avatar Picture and then click on "Profile Page" in the dialogue box that pops up. You'll then be on their Profile Page and there will be a box that says: "Write Something" When you have been on EC for a few weeks and have made at least 50 posts on various forums, you can apply for Full Membership. A Full Member can send Private Messages (PM) to other Full Members and share personal contact info. Right now you can only send a PM to a Staff Member as that is always possible. Here is a quote from the Full Membership information forum: :old_cool:

    *****To be eligible you must be a member of Empty Closets for a minimum of two weeks, and have a minimum of 50 posts. These posts must be across numerous forums (Fun & Games does not contribute to post count), and consistently posted across a minimum of two weeks. You wouldn't be eligible, for example, if you registered, had no activity for two weeks, and then returned to post 50 times on your 14th day of membership.

    *****Well, as I said, we're very glad you found us! :old_rolleyes: If you have any questions at all, you can always send me a Private Message.

    Hey Necrose, welcome back and glad to meet you! Wish I would have known you before, but it sounds like progress is happening. We totally support you for who you are. For me finding who I am has been a lifetime journey. Look forward to hearing more from and about you.
