Yes, I skipped an update yesterday. I did visit those who had visited me, though. I might not post everyday. But don't worry, I'm not going anywhere.

I'm feeling a bit irritated as I type this. I've come to realize certain things about updating and visiting around here. As I stated in my rules over to the left, I mostly only visit those who have commented. Well, here's the way I look at it. I started out with friends here. Some of them I still have as friends since my early days here. And some of these people haven't updated in a long time. I keep them on my list because at one time I had a good blog friend relationship with them. I still feel that way about those people. Essentially, if I get to know you well enough, then I consider you as a lifelong myO friend as well. But, I must first get to know you. Then, as time goes by more people sign the gb and I add them, or I find other interesting people. Now here's where it gets tricky. If someone signs my gb, then I sign in return. Whether I visit them first or they visit me first does not matter. It begins with a mutual visit. Once I have done my visit, my part is done. After that it is upon that person to visit me. Since I visit only those who comment (most of the time), I may never visit that person again if they do not come back and comment. Then I end up deleting that person. Ok, so let's say there's me, who normally doesn't update on the weekends, or occasionally skip weekdays. Then you have another person who doesn't update very often. (But not one of my good friends.) I visited the last time this person updated, and vice versa. I continue to update, and said person updates again. However, when said person updates I did not update. So, said person skips mine. Even though I visited said person's the last time they updated. So, when it's my turn to update, I skip said person's site because he/she did not visit mine. I'm not here to gain popularity or anything like that. I just want people to try and spend time and effort the way I do. Now, on occasion people update and don't have time to visit sites, or maybe just a few. Here's something to consider when you do this. If I have 10-15 people on my list whose sites I tend to visit quite often. And let's say on one day 15 people update, but I only get 7 of them visiting. That means 8 people didn't have the time to visit me. As if I have more time on my hands. I don't like to go on with rants like this, because I'm pretty much complaining about people who are on my friends list. But it gets a bit frustrating when I have more people not visiting than people who are, and I'm taking the time to visit them. So, that's why I go off of comments instead of who has updated. Occasionally, if I find myself with some extra time, I will visit those who have not commented. But that's where the vicious circle begins all over again. I visit them, and it's up to them to return the favor. I think it's time I put my foot down though, and let people know how I feel about it. If you don't like it, don't add me as a friend, or delete me off of your list. That will save me some time.

Ok, I'm done with my rant.

Now onto other, more happier subjects. I've started a new drawing. However, this drawing will not be submitted here. I will put it in one of my posts when I'm done, and I will submit it to my deviantart. The reason for this is because it's not anime or video game based, and it's kind of... well, not appropriate. It does contain nudity, sort of. But it's purely in a fantasy way. In fact, it's based on a scene from the book Eldest by Christopher Paolini, the same author of Eragon, it's the second book in the trilogy. Anyway, the scene depicts two elf-maids who are wearing no garments but have a dragon tattooed on both of their bodies that forms into one. It's a fantastical part of the book and I was highly captivated by it. So, this compelled me to try and depict it as best as I could. So far it's going quite nicely.

Game of the Day

Ok, I decided to put "The Last Word" game on hold for now. So, I'm introducing a new game. This one is called "In Ya Pants". This one is easy. Just give me a title of an anime or video game and add either "in ya pants" or "in your pants" after the title.

Here's an example,
"Bleach in ya pants"

Pretty simple, right? You betcha! Have at it! ^_^

Well, that's all for today. Have a good Wednesday.
