| Heh, this took a whole lot of looking back on sites I haven't used in years. : :
I first used a computer when I was six and played an I Spy computer game. I quickly got bored of computers, though, and stopped using the games.
Then, on July 28, 2005, at nine years old (I think), I joined Neopets. My first pet, currently 1,044 days, was called...guess what: egaro_800!!
Okay, so let's think about that. July was part of our summer vacation, and that just so happened to be a particularly hot day. Y'see, we had a pool, so we invited our neighbor Patrick and my sister's friends Lauren and Nicole to swim.
Pat showed me a move off the diving board called "the eggroll", where you curl up and plop off. With quite a few people over, it was hard to hear, and it sounded to me like he said "egaro".
A while later, we got bored of swimming and went in. Lauren and Nicole showed me Neopets, and I, who used to be a real Bionicle freak, made my account name "toahordikamatua", since the Toa Hordika was the current series of Bionicle, and Matau was my favorite character.
And then I created egaro_800, later followed by agorla_800, gigo_205, and Snuggles_123441.
I quit Neopets several times after that, finally quitting once and for all in 2007.
Nope, I haven't found Club Penguin quite yet. 
I'd gone back to being a Bionicle freak before I quite, and started browsing the internet, trying to learn more about Bionicle, and I found a forum called BZPower on February 2, 2006.
BZP was gigantic; when I first joined, they were at 20,000 users. I registered as "Toa Orkam" originally, later getting more original and becoming Javi, the namesake of the penguin Javi265. On BZP, I learned all I know about forums, along with a fantastic knowledge of constructive criticism, which I really haven't done much with recently. After a while, I got bored of Bionicle, and stopped using BZPower after nearly a year.
On January 12, 2007, Pat, the same person who got me "egaro_800", introduced me to Club Penguin. Guess what the first thing I ever heard of Club Penguin was?
"Nick! Come look at my Pluffles!"
Nope, he didn't even know how to say "Puffles". He showed me his penguin, Bobofun, and I registered an account there and then. I remembered my beloved Neopet, egaro_800, and decided to name my penguin just that. But, of course, the underdash and the lowercase "e" didn't go through, so I wound up as Egaro800.
I used Club Penguin, got a membership, and enjoyed myself with the whole thing. At one point, I made a Proboards forum--and that's when I started to really realize that there could be more about Club Penguin, things I didn't know. Craving that knowledge, I began searching for hints and cheats on Google.
Through Google, I found out about Wordpress and Blogspot and, inspired by a penguin named Nachocheezo, I made my own: CP Super Guide. It went successfully before slowing down and eventually stopping.
One day when I was sick, I found CP Fansite and was active on there for a while. I then received a PM from Guin asking me to join CPLighthouse. Oblivious to the "no advertising" rule, I went there and joined, enjoying the forum even more.
Then Guin started Penguin Dream. I thought it a chance to show off my graphics (at the time, I thought they were good), and people said they were nice; even Guin did, at first. Then--I'm sure you might remember the mood swing--he became nasty over the whole deal and I PMed Gollum, Techno, and a couple other users to quit with me. Unfortunately, Techno quit before me, and Guin thought it was Techno that made all the PD users leave, and Guin blamed him.
I remember sending the PM "It Wasn't Techno" to Guin on CPL. We kinda sorted the whole thing out and went on. I was still pretty angry at Guin, and he was still pretty nasty with me--but we were respectful of each other, at least.
And then came CPP. I was so disappointed with CPL closing that I was afraid to join CPP. I even wisecracked with Techno on WaddleVille, which had been made after PD closed, about "CPP" sounding like "see pee-pee". Looking back, that seems so dumb and n00bish. 
On the second day, I did join. I was kinda frightened, being with all the new users, but I got used to it. I fit in, at least.
I was originally disappointed with not being elected at the Moderator Applications, but I got over that quickly and went on using the site.
I can't exactly remember February that well, but I know that I told the admins, besides Guin, about the nasty things he had said and done. After what happened with VC, he wound up banned.
Then the Easter Hacking. That was some Easter, getting together things to move and trying to prevent a hacking. I exposed Guin as the first time hacker along with a couple other users, and now he hates me.
CS decided to stop him while I was moving, and wound up being used as a "puppet" and apparently...well, I really don't know. It was bad, though.
Eventually, things sorted out and I got back to using CPP as usual. Up until now, everything's been good.
Now, Guin and I have made up and are friends again.

| Finally done. :: I hope it doesn't matter with the things about Guin, but that's part of my history.
Yeah, Dobby, real big journey: journey from the nine-year-old n00b to the twelve-year-old overambitious...not n00b. 
Yeah, pretty much, Bam. That's why I say when people wanna eat me: soggy eggrolls don't taste good.
G00d 1uck w17h y0ur p1uff1es!
