For those of you that have been checking out my [[Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/21655|RFA]], you already know that it was a fucking ''disgrace''. For those of you who haven't, now you know. Trust me, I've been taking so much shit from editors who have a beef with my edits that I [[User talk:21655/Mistakes|created a subpage for it]], but this is a new low. |

Full explanation of my actions coming between 1:37 and 2:25 today. |

It started innocently enough is [[2005]], when I registered the account (hey, better to correct stupid typos under "21655" than 68.62 blah blah blah). The username was an obvious choice for those who kn'''e'''w me on [[RuneScape]] under the same name. For those who didn't, it's a long story involving typing "216" for no reason at all into the "Preferred Username" box, finding it was taken, and picking the shortest one RuneScape came up with. |

Nothing much happened between then and last year--I can blame total lack of awareness of the WP space for that. |

Then, I discovered the marvel that was [[WP:ADOPT|Adopt-A-User]]. Being the [[ID-Ten-T Error|ID:10T]] [[n00b]] that I was, I stuck the "LOOKING FOR ADOPTION" userbox on my userpage in a hearbeat. Waited, waited, waited. Eventually, I just contacted one of the adopters myself to see if they would adopt me, and she did. Yay, I finally had a Wikimentor. |

To fast-forward somewhat, I have no clue what it is that happened in 2007 that finally spurred me to edit more. WP:AFD, perhaps? That slow-ass app I used to use, Lupin AVT? Probably both. By my contributions steadily became more useful. |

For those of you that have been checking out my RFA, you already know that it was a fucking disgrace. For those of you who haven't, now you know. Trust me, I've been taking so much shit from editors who have a beef with my edits that I created a subpage for it, but this is a new low.
It started innocently enough is 2005, when I registered the account (hey, better to correct stupid typos under "21655" than 68.62 blah blah blah). The username was an obvious choice for those who knew me on RuneScape under the same name. For those who didn't, it's a long story involving typing "216" for no reason at all into the "Preferred Username" box, finding it was taken, and picking the shortest one RuneScape came up with.
Nothing much happened between then and last year--I can blame total lack of awareness of the WP space for that.
Then, I discovered the marvel that was Adopt-A-User. Being the ID:10T n00b that I was, I stuck the "LOOKING FOR ADOPTION" userbox on my userpage in a hearbeat. Waited, waited, waited. Eventually, I just contacted one of the adopters myself to see if they would adopt me, and she did. Yay, I finally had a Wikimentor.
To fast-forward somewhat, I have no clue what it is that happened in 2007 that finally spurred me to edit more. WP:AFD, perhaps? That slow-ass app I used to use, Lupin AVT? Probably both. By my contributions steadily became more useful.
The Golden Age of 21655's Editing came in late February of 2008, when I got my hands on Huggle 0.6.3. Or something like that. Firing it up, I started whacking/reporting vandalism like never before. My edit count skyrocketed. And now, it rests at about 4000 (for those of you about to warn me about editcountitis, shut the fuck up and keep reading. I'm fully aware of that and I don't think I care anymore, now that I'm leaving).
On 208-03-14, my mood took a serious downturn. My edit summaries became more aggressive, my warns more erroneous, and my talk page messages...well, you get the picture.
Part 2 coming 1:37 - 2:25.
