Well...what to write...
I'd like to start out with a brief synopsis of my time here as a member.
I first joined the forum in July of 2011. My name was Halo g33k. I believe that there was no shoutbox at that point, but don't remember what the site background was. I didn't really post much, just liked different stuff, and got to know a few different members, namely Absolute Dog, DocSpartanO07, then TxSpartanO07 (I believe) and The Director.
I didn't have an xbox at that point, but I did have a gamertag and would play Halo whenever I could borrow (or more adequately hog) my friend's 360. I had been playing Halo for years, but I really got into it around then. When the shoutbox came around, I became an avid member there. But then, in January of 2012, I logged on and found that my profile had been deleted...I still have no idea why.
I made another profile with the same name, but soon changed it to Private Church after I got my RoosterTeeth internship. I had many other name changes, none by me, soon after, when AD decided to have some fun with his Mod privileges...I have one minute of fame as Absolute Dog2. But my all-time favorite was Little Lord Fuantleroy!
I have been a slow poster, not even breaking the green until recently. I have tried to put meaning into my posts, and to be as helpful as possible. I really love the shoutbox, the opportunities to develop relationships, and to get to know others.
I took about a month long break from the forum when Halo 4 came out, because of the chaos that it brought. When I came back, I was shocked that many members who I had been good friends with had officially left, been banned, or simply were gone, no explanation. And there was the tidal flood of members who all had complaints of some kind, or were "good" members for a while, then burned out, some causing trouble and getting banned. But there are several who are still around today, and putting good into the forum.
But around the same time, this forum suffered a loss like no other. Spectral Jester, long time moderator of the forum, resigned from his position, taking his place along with other Legendary members. This hit a lot of members quite hard, including me. But Absolute Dog is doing a fantastic job of running the forum, and Spectral Jester is still here, ready to give advice, and act as a normal member.
Well...more like not so brief. So here's the basics: My favorite color is blue, my favorite number is 13. I was born on Friday the 13th, and in the thirteenth month if you use the ancient Roman calendar. So superstitious people might wanna steer clear of me . I enjoy theater, I am currently involved in a production called, "Bye Bye Birdie", one of the dumbest musicals I have EVER seen.
Members that I can definitely say have meant a lot to me, and have all been part of the stepping stones to me getting here are listed below. If I have stepped on you and you are not in this list, please PM me at once .

I know there are more, but I could list members for days and make no progress. The point is that I love all you guys, and am so happy to get this privilege, and will do my best to be a good representative of the forum as the Member of the Month. Thank you all of you, and to all of you goes out my :hug: s! I was honestly not expecting to get this awesome title, and I scared the shenanigans out of my mom when I logged onto the forum on my phone and literally jumped out of my chair cheering when I found out!
And finally...yes I HAD to do this....
