The Meaning of Truth
Comments:

Wensdays kitten: Apparently a fair number of people were annoyed that some of the smaller insects were left out, like the glow-worm and the slik worm (who didn't really do anything anyway, heh), but it was lovely and it got some really amazing reviews.

I think Ricky Gervais is the one from The Office, but I'm not sure; I've never actually watched it. I don't know that much about Eddie Izzard to be honest :p

Syk: Greg! Aah, thank you for stopping by. It's good to see you again ^_^

I'm not sure I want to push myself that deep into anything. I've queued at anime conventions to get autographs and have watched people in costume... and I don't know if it's just because this is England, but there's something much less involving about it all here. I guess it's a fandom that's still developing as opposed to one that's quite well established. And the problem is it's hard to find fans who are on the same casual level- because they involve themselves on the same level as you they'll naturally tend not to be in the forefront. But maybe I'm just rubbish :p

Transformers is amazing. You must see it! It's not as cheesy as the original movie (if you've even seen it) and it's not exactly a thinking movie but it's very well done.

Super Mario Galaxy is really good. It's one of the few games in recent years that I've felt I've wanted to complete it all the way to the end, as opposed to feeling I have to for completion's sake. It's just a very lovely game. very easy some times, incredibly difficult at others. There's a balance, but it's enjoyable all the way through.

*cheers* I'll drink to that ^_~

molly: I know, heh. And it's been forever again :p Sorry about that. Belatedly, happy holidays to you too. I wish you all the best for this year in everything you do and happens to you ^_^

Lilia: I didn't want to presume that I could just use your name without asking first; I always like to respect other people's privacy. But thank you ^_^ It is a lovely name.

I use Facebook pretty much every day, but obviously it's down to your own time and commitments. I'm never offended if people aren't online- it's just nicer to see them when they do turn up. That's one of the reasons I still stick around at myOtaku, because I have a lot of good friends here and even if they only come online and post once a year, I wouldn't want to miss that.

Thank you *^_^* I don't think I'm very handsome though, but then again I don't think many people think that much of themselves :p

And thanks for your support, too. It does mean a lot to me. I'm not trying to sound arrogant, but since I don't see people that often, it's nice to know they're rooting for me in whatever capacity. I have a tendency to get emotional or distracted quite easily and sometimes I just need a gentle nag or encouragement in the right direction. I don't mind being told off for not doing what I'm supposed to be, either :p

I'm so upset that Brawl hasn't even been given a release date in the UK yet. Out of all games I could ever possibly want, that is THE number one without a doubt. Damn Nintendo od Europe for being so bastard stingy.

So it's after our shows now... After James and the Giant Peach we went straight into Two, so I've had virtually no time for internets or writing since mid December. Last week I finally started revising the book again and a few days back I actually started adding new stuff. It was a great relief ^_^

And, yesterday... I broke the 60,000 word mark! It is officially novel-length! Whee! Sparklers and baloons all round. But it's still not finished, heh. I could finish it now with TO BE CONTINUED..., but that would be mean and unsatisfying.

In other news, very little else has been happening. Still single; I'll go onto that later. We're winding down the company now as Dan's off to Australia. We think our production of 'Two' made a profit, which is great as I didn't think we were going to get anything out of it. Do you think it's wrong to be pessimistic of your own show? Well, I say 'my'; it wasn't my idea- I just agreed to help because nobody else would have been able to do it. I did enjoy it, but almost all the way through I wanted to be writing. I could, possibly, have been a chapter or two away from finishing if I'd had that extra month to work on it. And because Dan didn't have a car I had to play taxi anyway... it did get in the way. But we're past that now, so let's leave it.

Oh, yes- I had a hospital appointment the other week to look at my left femur. The cyst is definitely still there, and it's been hurting a lot more. I don't know if that's psychosomatic just because I'm aware of it, but either way the X-Ray showed that it was still incredibly thin. The previous X-Ray taken was a bit blurry so the wals of bone looked a little thicker... this was clearer, and they aren't. I'm not sure what I should do. I'm certainly not going to give up anything I enjoy doing but it's just made me wonder... if anything happens that's it- bam. Hip replacement at 22. The doctor said I WILL need one by the time I'm forty, and I will suffer from arthiritis sooner rather than later. I'm trying to keep a positive outlook but I'd be lying if I said it didn't frighten me.

So, relationships, then :p This will be a fairly common topic as I update so infrequently, heh. They're just... not here. I had my three-year-no-physical-contact-or-anything anniversary in january, so we're going for three years and a month so far. I know that's nothing, really, considering a lot of other people are in the same boat, but... I've wanted it. Something. And I hate moaning about it even more because it really doesn't matter. I'm just being emo.

OtakuBoards is another bone of contention for me of late. I started posting again a short while back, and... it's very unsatisfying. I don't know what I was expecting, really, but everything seems so... boring. The activity levels have definitely decreased since I was last a regular, there's no doubting that. And it's s shame, because it's a great site with a lot of lovely people. But I just found it so disappointing to look around and see... very little. For those who know what I'm talking about I was thinking of finally finishing Enter the Net, but I don't think anyone would go for it. Maybe I'll put it up here as an exclusive, heh.

Anywhoos, I'm going to write some more book ^_^ I stopped last night because I'd discovered a continuity issue that I later solved while eating a chicken burger with some friends (it has nothing to do with a chicken burger, incidentally), so I can get on and do it. Once this segment's done it should, theoretically, only be about six chapters till the end. Mayhaps. There's a bucketload of story to be revealed in the next bit, though ^_^; Need to work out the technical bits...

Anyway, see you all soon ^_^ Take care!

P.S. 'THE MEANING OF TRUTH' is a song that's the main theme of the F-Zero anime. I watched the 'Falcon Punch' YouTube so many times I had to have the song too. It's good ^_^

P.P.S If you want to watch a really boring interview of me talking about our production, go to www.two.t83.net, our poorly-updated, now out-of-date website.
