Old friends die hard

I was suprised last night when I got home to see my MSN messneger with a chat from an old EVE buddy from way, way back when I first started EVE. Nhi"khuna an old pal from my first toon Xiao Jia.
Here is a little history, in 2006 I first started EVE at my older brothers prodding, I was in a pirate corp within days DSOTM (Dark Side of the Moon) then another of my brothers joined and we were steady pirating in low sec, after several months we had made friends with quite a few people and one or two in particular Nhi"Khuna's original toon Corbis Thalamr, and my first solo kill Eamon Delvara, now May West. We had a race to -10.0 and oh what times we had. After some tensions within DSOTM we split and sormed our own corp with Nhi and a my brothers and a few others joiing shortly thereafter, I guess this could be considered the first incarnation of Strife Mercanaries, it was IPORC ( Interstellar Privateers of Res Comunus) to make a really long story some what shorter we made a lot of friends there Minessis, Seven Six, Kla Strit, Kirith Kodachi, Hakk, ad others (sorry if I missed anyone) So again with the long short of it, many left and formed Strife Mercanaries, left that and re-formed it, left again and re-formed again.in the midstof that I quit sold Xiao Jia and then ended up coming back to EVE with Mushiashi Returns, quit again and now returned with Mushiashi Returns (Ill never get rid of a toon again) now we are scattered but still talk via the forum Kirith so generously provides.
So it seems Wendsday night at 8p.m. EST we will be going to do some Pew Pew with a few other buddies, man I cant wait I've been idle and skill training for so long I cant wait to fire up some of these long dormant warp drives, ahhh teh screams of terror how I have misseed you.
