My mind drifted off a few days ago in the middle of a senseless amount of homework. Instead of taking notes on Nixon's presidency, thoughts started to race through my head about what I used to do in my time without the busy schedule that I have now. Not a single thought about Braingle crossed my mind until about a week before when I was looking up brain cancer for a report at school and 'Braingle' came up on Google's autofinish - or whatever you wanna call it. Yet, I really didn't care to come back on the site at that time, mostly because I was on a roll with the paper. But those few days ago in the midst of nostalgia, Braingle became significant enough in my thoughts that I came back on and made this new account. As I perused all of the new things on the site, I began to recall how much time I had invested in Braingle and how much I enjoyed it. However, I was rather disappointed that I did not have an account, as I deleted mine in the midst of a complex stage of adolescence where I wanted to forget all of my time with Braingle and other parts of my life. Actually, I kind of appreciate having to start a new account here, as it's just like rediscovering the site for the first time. I'm almost as intrigued by it as I was when I first joined something like fourish years ago. I've come to regain appreciation for the Trivia section, in which I was elected as a Quizmaster a bit before I deleted my account. Being a Quizmaster was one of my favorite things about the site and I miss doing that. It's just incredible to see how many new users there are here that make contributions and enjoy the site themselves. Nice to be back and part of the Braingle community again.

A building is a symbol, as is the act of destroying it. Symbols are given power by people. A symbol, in and of itself is powerless, but with enough people behind it, blowing up a building can change the world.

Welcome back Ginge! I'm not quite sure who you are, but I must have known your other account since you were a QM. Anyway, I hope you stick around this time and, again, welcome back!

SMILE and people will wonder what you are up to!

Welcome Back, Ginge!

Is it cool if I psychically try to guess your former username?
And if so, did it have anything to do with a particular ....animal?

And if not, do you remember me?

haha yeah I was cowman12 back in the day. I recognize some of the usernames but I don't really remember much more about each person here than just a name. But I do remember both of you!
