Loud, angry music. | More relationship troubles. Well, sort of. You see, after months of really paying no attention to such things, I'd recently come across someone who really struck me. But to my surprise, I discovered yesterday that they've already found someone - my ex. That little bombshell really struck me down yesterday, especially considering that the odds of such a thing happening are pretty astronomical. But it happened and it happened to me. Yuck.
Normally I don't really get into the whole relationship politics thing. I wouldn't normally mention something like that, but it had a major impact on me yesterday. And there are so many reasons why - not just the odds of it happening, but the fact that for months I'd made no attempt to even bother with relationships. I felt like I'd had enough and needed a break. So, the one time when I actually do feel like there's some potential, it turns out that way. Of all the ways it could have happened, you know?
I don't know how I come across, but in my life so far, I've been in two actual relationships. And both of them lasted for a reasonably long time. So, I am not only a person who takes commitment seriously, but I also feel that it's important to be loyal and to not give up when minor problems arise.
Really, I've been lucky. Neither of those two relationships actually ended in a bad way, except that the latter ended as a result of a partner who probably would have cheated on me if we'd stayed together (which is why I was glad to let things end sooner rather than later). That was disappointing, but you know, the actual relationship was great. I really felt that everything worked very well.
This really has no relevance with anything, but I guess this is what's on my mind at the moment. Today I just feel sort of dull - I have a slight ache in the pit of my stomach, which has been there since yesterday. It will go away. And it will probably go away pretty soon - I'm far stronger and more resilient than I tend to give myself credit for. But right now, I can't help but wonder how much bad luck I can have in a short space of time. I should probably counter that by saying that I have really good friends and that is often the best medicine to deal with things like this.
Anyway, on with other subjects.
The changes over at OtakuBoards are still ongoing, as most people are probably aware. There have been a lot of staff changes recently and that'll continue over the coming weeks.
I'm in a strange situation right now, where I'm really having to hire quite a lot of people in a short space of time. However, because the general quality of the membership seems to be better than before, it appears that I have a lot more choices. That definitely makes my job easier and I'm looking forward to bringing more people on board.
You may also be aware (or may not be aware) that Desbreko has been made a Site Administrator. Cool, no? I feel he deserves it and he was certainly one of the people who was at the top of the list when I was looking for someone a while ago. Having two Site Admins should help, especially as things start to become a little more organized. I am hoping that I will be able to become a little more hands-off after all of these changes, so that I can focus my time on other things.
I'm also still having difficulty choosing a domain name for myself, but Anabiosis.com keeps hovering around my head.
Sara: I aim to please, my dear Sara. ~_^
Oh, and thanks for the AIM chat a few days ago. That was our fourth or fifth chat? Soon we'll have broken the half-dozen mark!
John: Oh yes, I did see that on your page. Good luck finding something that suits you. ^_^
ShadowFaint: Agreed!
AJeh: Oh I'm sure. Just like OtakuBot became an instant classic the moment he was conceived (the fact that he was never used adds to his mysteriousness and therefore, he becomes even more legendary).
Tonykins: I feel the same way about The Matrix! The few bad ingredients don't spoil the meal, or something along those lines.
But yes, I would agree with you. Besides, anyone who picks apart movies to that degree is probably setting the bar a little too high anyway. I mean, they're setting themselves up for disappointment. And where's the fun in that?
By the way...I am conflicted over what I should sign-up as in the current OB event. Should I challenge myself and go for something completely crazy? Any recommendations?
