The Golden Post / First Carcosite Aniv

This is a celebration of (re)birth amidst reminiscent mournings over the deaths of our loved ones. It has been a year since the Shade-inspired Microeigangrau blog has been put up, later evolving into the microeigengrau carcosite. This blog has been my "dumpsite" of personal musings and socio-political inquiries--much like your own personal blogs, perhaps. The Carcosite has served its purpose well as an outlet and repository of experiences towards what I am and what I am to be. So, I think a retrospective shall be imminent. Let me begin, then.

[Ugh. I was just hyperlinking and discussing my previous posts, then I decided to stop. The darkhives are right there anyway. I shall just post a top 10, I guess. Here we go, in no particular order, besides chronological. Labo Mehn.]
