Counting by members participating in the quest for INFINITY

#15 /u/Z3F

1) Your first # - if you remember it & how you discovered /r/counting.

1, and I discovered /r/counting in the dark waters of my mind, while I was quite ill, thousands of miles away from home, trying to think up some way to uplift myself.

2) Your stats - # of GETS, favorite GET etc.

I've had 2 GETS in the main thread. I much prefer to lurk. My favorite get was 200k, since that's when my thread in r/bestof took off and brought us a massive influx of new counters.

3) Country you are counting from (and city if you want)

All around. Currently, Thailand.

4) Why you are participating in this quest to Infinity

Because the journey will always be better than the destination. What we are taking part in is nothing short of a collective spiritual quest, and a pioneering experiment in the new field of infinitology.

5) Your favorite, or funniest moment here

Hmm, so many, but I guess it goes to when people first started joining in on the main thread. It felt great to see my experiment in absurdity bloom into something with a life of its own. While its heartbeat might be irregular.

6) Your 2nd favorite sub here on AskReddit - edit: er I mean Reddit!

/r/Futurology

7) Your favorite website(s) outside Reddit

In order of time used: YouTube, Wikipedia, Reddit, everything else.

8) Other hobbies you have besides being an extreme counter.

Learning (languages, philosophies, trivia, perspectives), Thinking, Eating fruit, surveying the planet and its homo sapiens, Trying to be a good boy.

9) Your MOTTO - OR favorite quote/saying.

Any sayings/quotes/mottos that hint at the enormity of possibilities, realities, solutions that have yet to be explored or thought of, that make me appreciate my own nearsightedness as an individual, 23 year-old, early 21st century human, that speak to the beauty of exploration, transcendence, life.

10) Your tips, hints & strategies you use here to count. (for newbies)

Pace yourself, we're not even halfway there yet. Also, allow yourself to find joy in its simplicity.

Also, mighty cool seeing you here /u/daggoneit, you old timer.
