Out of the Loop?
Happy non-demoninational holidays to all. Some of you might have gotten a card from me in the mail, some of yours might still be in the proccess of being mailed, others... yeah. I hope everyone had a good holiday, because mine was very dramatic, heh.

Anyway, work has kept me from being very active on the boards these days. Although I do the mod stuff fairly easy, it is the individual relationships between members that I have difficulty in keeping up with. There have been a lot of great new members recently, and I hate feeling like everyone is making new friends except for me.

It's not that I'm unhappy with my current crop of friends; far from it. The people I have met in my time here are some of the greatest friends I have ever had. The problem is that all of those people are the ones making new friends, and having their own little inside jokes that I'm completely lost about. Sammiches seem to be more poular than my cookies ever were, and everyone suddenly seems to be in love with Japan86. Did I miss the newsletter that tells members who is fresh and interesting and who isn't? Post quality speaks for itself, but the popularity of certain people is very confusing to me.

Perhaps the boards are just growing in a different direction than I am, or maybe there was never an "in crowd" to begin with. It sure seems like that sometimes, though. Being a new member and trying to fit into this place would be awful. After all, being an older one and trying to fit in is bad enough...

Otaku Awards in three days, I wonder who everyone will be voting for this year.
