Hiya, "Jms" here. 7 years ago I registered on this site for video games, but every single anniversary I was either not able to post anything OR I just simply forgot. This is my first time ever being able to post about one of my anniversary, so here I am lol. I did make quite a few friends after signing up due to being very active in the chats and forum. 2014 and 2015 were some of my best years of my life, mostly because of being on Vizzed.
I initially signed up, being totally unaware about what would soon become my identity. Made friends, blah blah blah, found Kimmy's post about why they hate being a girl (I don't remember their current username nor do I know if they go by she or he now), to which I replied and then as a result realized that I wanted to be a girl. That was November 13th 2014 at 10:30pm. What then followed was a month of me just asking about transgender stuff and being confused, which undoubtedly was quite annoying for you guys because I just didn't stop talking about it. Then Callie AKA Xenthou came along, she helped me understand the concept of transgender better and I eventually accepted myself as Natalie (oh, we also started dating, I guess.)
I wasn't as active in 2015 as I was in 2014 and eventually started streaming on Twitch. Bunch of stuff happened, I stream now, yada yada I stopped being active because I was having fun on Twitch (with my favourite streamer being Unlink2, a Majora's Mask speedrunner). After this, I stopped being active and I haven't really been active at all since then. I posted sometimes but it wasn't often at all. I was then completely inactive after the middle of 2016, due to coming back to school. I was a 16-year-old in a class of 13-year-olds. Wait, no, I turned 17! I was 2 years older than the one who was the 2nd oldest who was 2 years older than the youngest. I was 4 years older than everyone. It was a bit awkward but we worked it out.
Fast forward a few years and 5 now-ex-partners, I've been dating someone since January 2019, and we're still dating in January 2021. Soon we'll be living together and actually work towards our future. I didn't finish school in the end, but I was starting to be quite tired of school and I wasn't feeling any progress, so I decided to skip it and start working while finding something to study.
So, soon, I'll be having a job and I'll be a responsible adult. Yay. So that's about my past and future.
If you're wondering what I'm currently doing: I still stream on Twitch. I did at some point restart my Twitch account, meaning I lost my 300 followers, but I'm currently streaming semi-often with 130 followers, I suppose. I primarily stream "Mario & Luigi: Dream Team" right now, as I speedrun that game and I do hold the world record (4:11:48, completed yesterday! I'm aiming for sub 4:10 and eventually sub 4:05 which would be the god run). I'll probably be speedrunning other stuff too sometimes, but that's my primary speedgame. I stream at

(Also, you can find the youtube video of the speedrun over here:

-- there are a LOT of glitches after the first hour lol.)
So, in the end, I'm doing quite well. Just waiting on a few IRL stuff so I can move out (to another country too!), and feeling quite good. You guys helped me a
heck of a lot with improving my English and with my overall quality of life. There's no way to tell, but I don't feel I'd be alive without this site. So thanks Davideo and the community of Vizzed for literally keeping me alive, albeit indirectly. And especially Callie.
Since you may be curious about my gender... I do remember that some of you thought I would "regret" being female and that I would eventually change back into a "male" or something. Basically, I am still a Male-to-Female transgender person. I do primarily still use she/Her pronouns, but a part of me stopped caring whether you use he or she or they. I'm me, and you calling me a he doesn't change me. I thought I'd include that too.
This is probably a dull 7-year anniversary thread, but I'm not trying to be flashy. I'm just glad that I
remembered at all that it's my anniversary on Twitch. I was 13 when I first joined, and now I am 20. Gameboy1023 was 10 when I first signed up and now he's 17... My D:?!ing god that's weird to think about. Makes me feel like I'm 50 lol.
Ok I don't have anything more to say, love you all

I probably won't be active again, I just wanted to brag about being 7 years old now that I finally remembered it's my birthday
Edit: also, this was moreso meant as an
update and a brief history of me, I suppose. I'm only posting because of my anniversary lol)
Edit: Oh God I completely forgot to mention. So I was wanting to talk about my name history too. So originally I was James, and then I went to Jade when I first found out I'm trans. Then I thought it didn't fit me as a person, so I used Natalie because that's what my mother would have named me. 2 years later I felt uncomfortable with it (I never really was fond of it), and a few names later, I now go by Olivia and this is extremely likely the name that will stick to me. That's all, thanks
