Aww man, now I have to write something about me. It's always difficult to describe myself in a few words as to not bore to death any passing visitor and trying to do that in a whole different language. Bear with me, I'll try.

I'm Imichan, I'm 32 years old and I was born, raised and currently live in a small town in Naples, Italy.

I've always been described as precocious, but I think I was just bored and boredom sparks curiosity. I learned how to speak and read before I turned one, so everyone thought I would do great things in life if I just kept studying. Well, life had other plans.

I'm a NEET and I get out of the house very rarely, if ever, and when I do it's always either with my mom or my sister and brother in law.

I never get out of my house alone because I'm scared and tend to have panic attacks.

I like technology and the world wide web a lot. I had internet late, when I was 12 years old, but I already knew it existed thanks to family friends who already dabbled in chat rooms etc. When I finally had an internet connection, I was the happiest person in the world: finally, a world of possibilities opened up before my eyes!

I loved finding out site after site after site, all of them sparkly, glittery, colorful and full of what, to me, was wonderful graphics and amazing content: so, I started to think that I wanted to learn how to do the same things. So, I embarked on a quest to learn how to do stuff with Paint Shop Pro, Photoshop, GIMP and Photofiltre (and now even smartphones!). Then, I discovered forums and a new world of community and friendship! Forums are still, and I think will always be, my favorite thing in the world: I've met so many wonderful people, some of them even offline, and helping out those communities either with graphics or by moderating content has given me immense satisfaction.

I also dabbled a bit with HTML and CSS back in the olden days, but what I knew then doesn't apply anymore so I'm trying, slowly but surely, to re-learn everything. It's taking a long time, but I think that I'm going to be fine. I just want to create websites to express myself mostly, and to offer things to people who might need them. Creating websites full of content was also a huge passion of mine, so when I stumbled upon the web revival movement it's just like everything fell back into place: I knew what was missing from my dull, depressing life. I needed a reason, and I know that being stuck in the past is not a good thing but what if holding onto the past is the key for a better future?

That's what I want to find out.
