So very tired...
It seems as though my posts have a common theme lately. But this is what my life has become!
To top it all off, last night was boiling hot down here and the room I was sleeping in was incredibly stuffy. The rest of the house was cooling down, but our room had no air at all. Blah. So I only slept for a couple of hours and I've been busy at work all day. I'm on my break now and I decided to force myself to have a break today - I deserve it!
Unfortunately work has dominated my time so much lately that I've had little chance to do much else; that includes house hunting and furniture buying. I have absolutely no idea how long I'm going to be staying with my parents as a result. But even after work...it's night time when I finish and all I want to do is sleep when I get home.
Nevertheless, I've been spending most of my online time at OtakuBoards. I have also been trying to work out exactly what can be done with it, especially given my own time constraints.
On the one hand I'm tempted to just throw my hands up and say "Work is too important and I just don't have the time." But on the other hand, I have been running OtakuBoards for years now. When I think about how many hundreds of hours I have invested in the site in that time...it's actually quite amazing. Even in the past when I've had no time, I've managed to make time for the site.
Adam once told me that he considers OB to be "my site". I think that's fair, when you consider a few things...first, the sheer amount of time I've spent working on it and secondly, the fact that it probably wouldn't exist at all right now if it weren't for me (or it would be even worse than V2).
For all its problems, I think it has come a long way. And it has been the launch pad for a number of other sites and communities, which makes me happy. Some of our members have even gotten married (for real) as a result of meeting on OB. That's not something which happens every day!
So who knows at this stage. There are so many things I'd still love to do with the site, but I don't know if it will all be worthwhile in the end....especially if I'm not around to enjoy the fruits of my labor.
Hm, this seems very rambly (probably due to tiredness), so I'll end it here. Hopefully it makes some sense to everyone.
CosmicSailor: Ahh, oh well. It happens! Hopefully something will spark your interest and you'll decide to post soon. But at least you can access the site now, which is good.
Aaryanna: Aw, that card is very sweet. Thank you! I appreciate it.
indifference: And thank you for visiting. It's nice to know that this page hasn't gathered too much dust just yet. ~_^
