Welcome to my WORLD
So, I created a World. Much fun.

So far I've only put up the first chapter of my four-year-old Digimon fanfic, but if you fancy taking a look at my writing style then please drop by. The link is here:

http://www.theotaku.com/worlds/exiledreflections

It's going to be a collection of my written works; anything I fancy putting up there. So I imagine eventually I'll put up Enter the Net, all the various things I've put in OB's Anthology, contributions to RPGs I've been especially fond of... and stuff like that. It's just nice to have a place to consolidate it all, you know? Then I can just look back at it and have it all in one place.

I might, just might put up a sneaky peak of Nazreal sometime, too, if I can decide whether it's a good idea. I'm not sure which bit, though.

I'm not getting rid of MyO, though. I may start up a new blog world, but I'm not sure. It depends how many of my friends migrate over to theO. not many people read this anyway as far as I'm aware, so it doesn't seem completely worthwhile just yet.

Kei: I'm not even entirely sure why Valentine's Day exists in the first place. I know it's about Saint Velentine, but I didn't think his story actually had much relevence to the modern holiday. Or am I wrong? But anyway, it's past now, and all we have to endure before then is Easter, Father's Day, St. Patrick's Day, Thanksgiving (for all you Yanks out there), Christmas and New Year. Joy, joy joy. Joy.

Des: I did see that ^_^ It was pretty cool.

Gavin: Bad moods swing by me more often than you might think; I just rarely express them because I'm loath to offend people or put them in bad moods themselves. And I have had far worse, heh.

Greg: Oh yeah, I'm not saying that they aren't enjoyable for a lot of people, but I'm single and don't have a monotonous life :p

Lilia: Haha, I don't mean the ones around you, more like the ones around ME. I feel somewhat overlooked sometimes.

And yes, shoot-em-ups are almost the perfect medicine for aggressive feelings ^_^ Halo and Star Wars: Battlefront 2 have served me well...

I destroy your puny chocolate box.
Hate sodding Valentine's Day. Wish it would disappear forever.

It's not just the commercialism or the lovey-dovey couples (although those are just as irritating); it's the heightened instances of 'OH I HATE VALENTINE'S DAY BECAUSE IT'S RUBBISH AND I'M BITTER AND OOOH I WANT ATTENTION BECAUSE I'M SINGLE AND LOOK I CAN PRETEND TO BE ALL HURT AND LONELY AND BITTER AND TWISTED'. It makes me feel completely stupid, especially as everyone I know who's complaining about it has no reason to.

Get over it. Everything about this day smells.

I'm a go listen to the Eureka Seven theme for seven hours straight.

EDIT: But I do appreciate that it means a lot to other people, and I don't want to stamp on that. There's nothing wrong with expressing genuine feelings of love or appreciation for someone. But making a holiday out of it just seems cheap to me.

Comments.

Des: It is kind of intriguing :p I wonder if any other animes will be made of Nintendo properties... Pikmin, maybe?

Azure: Chicken burgers are the nectar of life, man. Although I have been eating a lot of them recently. I need to try and cut back.

I haven't got a problem with the current members- it's more the lack of overall activity. There's just a much less diverse range of threads. and far less than I seem to remember. Although I haven't been a regular for a very long time, so I could be wrong and just be viewing very selectively. I'll still hang around every once in a while, but it's just not for me no more.

And I think you've hit the nail very firmly on the head there. Or not, as both our cases may be ^_~ I make the mistake of always getting my hopes up that something will happen, and always come down fairly hard on myself when they don't for getting optimistic. And in a way I almost don't want a relationship anyway. but then I do, and then I don't...

In the end we didn't make a profit. Checking my emails a few days ago they forgot to put in the cost of the advert we had in their brochure, so we actually made about a £60 loss >.>; Never mind. It's not much, and we did get our grant.

Miss Wensday: Their parts were almost blink and you miss them in the book, so they really didn't need to be in the stage show. It's a big, active show with a lot of musical numbers so the smaller characters have to be pushed aside for larger set pieces. It seemed to work really well, though.

Greg: Hehe, I admire your faith :p But thank you. I'm not going to give up on this, as hard as it is. I've really struggled the last couple of days to put anything together. Once I have something down, even if it's rubbish, I can always come back and edit it later. I'm a bit worried about it becoming too long now...

Yeah, I know ^_^ It would just be disappointing if everything I'd built myself up for (specifically the acting and the reenactment) had to take a back seat. I'd feel like I'd be letting a lot of people down. But I would never let it get too far in the way of what I want to do. Even if I had a hip replacement tomorrow I'd still be sure to be back in armour by the end of the year :p

Hugging is the most I've gotten, aside from kisses on the cheek from friends, and a casual peck on the lips from a girl I didn't really fancy as I was trying to escape in my car. I won't go into that, though >.>;

I think I do notice the same connection. Me at computer most of the day = meeting no new people. Hmm...

I was never that great at constructing arguments, so I never really ventured into the meatier discussions in the lounge. Unfortunately that seems to be where the bulk of activity takes place; that and the 'Theater', and I'm not really into RPGs any more. They all seem pretty similar. At the same time I can't help but feel it's more cliquey than it used to be. Although that might just be looking in as an outsider.

Lilia: Can you tell that to some of the girls round here? I'd appreciate them knowing that :p

Writing gives me a great buzz, especially if it's putting down a story I've been creating for some time. There's just something I find so rewarding about forming words in such a way that can evoke emotions from people, you know? That's another of the reasons I really like acting, too.

If Wi-fi works that far away, I'd love to challenge you. That'd be cool ^_^

I'd never even consider suicide, especially over something like that. You've no worried there. When I get emotional I talk to people about it, and that's my release. I don't harm myself, or smoke, or get drunk, or take drugs. A good, healthy chat is enough for me. And maybe a film of some sort.
