So I’ve decided to keep a formal blog

While growing up, I kept a journal. I would write how my day was, what happened, and how I was feeling. After two days, I gave up.

Throughout high school, I managed my myspace blog. I got extremely interested when I got a tight-knit group of friends, Chill Town, and wrote about my activities with them. Two years later, I am bored to tears of my myspace shit blog.

Today, however, is an epic day. I’ve decided to become a freelance writer, and write about my experiences in life and alternate life in cyberspace with my friends, mostly relevant to World of Warcraft.

I like to make a lot of line breaks, because I find it easier to read that way personally. So I hope you all get attuned to my writing style.

Anyways, my name is Ethan. I’m 17 years old. Last June, I graduated from High School with broken dreams. I had gotten into colleges that I really wanted to attend, but my better wit told me that it’s not a wise investment to give in to the scam of General Education at Universities. So now, I am living at home, 17, post-high school, attending community college, while my high school friends move on to bigger, better lives. During the summer, I’ve been playing club water polo with my high school team as well as taking a summer English Composition class.

Luckily, this does not fret me too much. I have always lived two lives, in my opinion. I have had my real life, which has had its up and downs for 17 years, and then I’ve had my cyber life, which is usually filled with excitement, existing since when I was 12. My first game, Diablo II, was my gateway to online gaming. Haha. But that’s for a whole new blog post. ;P

Anyways, in real life, I’m a reserved kind of guy. I love to get crazy and have fun sometimes, but usually I am introverted and listening to others. I am not shy, and will blurt out my opinion though.  It’s hard for me to make friends, because I am not one to begin conversation usually. But I cherish my friends, and love them to death.

In my cyber life, my alias name is Diagas. I made up the name Diagas when I as 13, and I needed a fake name to use (out of fear drilled in by my mother of online predators) that was still catchy. While playing Warcraft 3, I was roleplaying on a map called MRP (Miyog’s Roleplaying Map), and made a hero. I decided to name him “Gigas,” which I had gotten from Golden Sun. After playing Gigas, who was a heroic demon hunter who travelled with his best friend Jetta, I decided I liked the name. But it disturbed me because it wasn’t an original name, I’d stolen it from Golden Sun. So I decided to mix words. I wanted die in my name. Digigas. I finally settled with Diagas, because it flowed well. From then on, I used Diagas as my online name till even today.

I don’t feel like becoming unorganized on day one of my blog, so I will seperate my historys in their own seperate postings, so I can tag them into categories. I hope this blog becomes something worthwhile to write in, or else it will end up in the trash like my journal. :)
