"One direction, only way to go..."
I think that this week has been one of the best weeks of the year, in terms of getting a lot of stuff knocked over.
The absence of school has left me with a lot more freedom, which is great, because I'm now getting into things that had always previously been "too much trouble".
Apart from working on theOtaku.com itself, I've already mentioned a few of the other things that I'm getting involved with lately.
Although online work can be tedious at times, I still find it very theraputic generally. There is something highly satisfying about overcoming big hurdles, on a creative level. Know what I mean? It's like the first time you teach yourself how to format a page in HTML or something. It's hard to teach yourself these things, but when you look at the final product you feel very satisfied.
One of the other great side-benefits to having more time for the Internet is that I'm able to see what others are doing in more detail, too. And that's always a great pleasure for me.
The fact is, I not only love having conversations with people, but I also love to see their creative work and passion. For example, I've been reading a lot more RPGs and fan fiction lately. And I've been getting more involved in creative collaborations with others. It's incredibly rewarding and exciting to surround yourself with talented and creative people, in order to reach a common goal.
I'm also really pleased that others are doing the same thing; getting together in groups and coming up with ideas. Whether it's a web site, or an RPG, or even an art competition...it's all good.
I just thought I'd bring that up, as it's something I've really been thinking about a lot lately.
In other news, it's been surprisingly quiet at home despite the fact that the holidays are here. My siblings haven't really been bringing many of their friends here, which is pretty good in my book. As for me, I really never bring friends to my home. I would usually much prefer to go out somewhere, or to visit someone else's house. It's generally not terribly exciting at my place, if only because there are always too many people here.
I mean, you can't really just relax with your friends when you have a billion people going past you all the time, right? ~_^
The only weird things to happen to me on these holidays have been the occasional embarassing encounters. You know, like when you walk past the sofa and your sister and her boyfriend are under the blanket getting all smoochy, but you don't realize until you're too close to make a swift and quiet getaway. Why do I always walk in when those things are happening?
It's damaging to my still-abundant innocence...
