Where have all the cowboys gone? (General Rant Post)

Comments! Sara: Oatmeal bath? That's insane, heh. Just what you need to make yourself feel like a piece of museli. Arcadia: Ah, I see. I guess oatmeal has something in it that stops skin irritations... although that must get through a lot of the stuff, if I'm actually imagining the thing correctly o_o; elfpirate: Eee! It's good to see you again, hehe. You don't need to apologise; it's not as if I've been around much lately, either. *hugs* Vagina? Googlism for the day: "solo is ideal for a wide range of applications where quality is essential and where the device supports the memory required" It's felt like a lot of things have been happening lately, which isn't entirely true. A lot of things happen and then continue with other bits and pieces jutting inbetween. I've been saying a lot of goodbyes recently. Lawrence is leaving for drama school on Sunday and we had our semi-final evening trip together, whereby we buy pizzas and sit in the car watching Family Guy on a portable DVD player. It was great, and for the first time in a long while the three of us (Jeremy was there too) seemed to bond as closely as we used to. I'd been worried for a while that we were starting to drift apart in some ways; I guess whenever there's an emotional event fuelling things, social events become that much more charged. Anyway, we had a good time. And I'm glad we could give Lawrence a nice, personal send-off. I can't actually think who else I'm saying goodbye to. I know Romulus isn't well, but that should only be a temporary thing (providing Merlin can leave him alone). A lot of other college friends are going off to University/drama school and I've as good as completely retired from OB. Forum Fix I love OtakuBoards. I really do. But I can't see it. And whenever I can, I feel so swamped by discussions that I don't have a realistic opinion on that I get fed up and leave. The anime forum's no use to me- I've seen little to nothing of what everyone's talking about and don't read many mangas.I'd love to continue with RPGs but as events have shown, it's impossible at the moment. So, I've joined the forums at UK Anime News.net. It's nice- at least the discussions there are all pretty much related to things that I can actually see, if I wanted to -but the quality of the threads are nowhere near as nice as those on OB. The best one I've seen is the debate on RahXephon vs Evangelion, and that died away (on my post, too. Figures >.>). Otherwise, most of the members have a tendency to post for their own post. The ones who carry out that main bulk of the discussions already know each other pretty well, too; feelings of social ineptitude on my part don't exactly help to break into that. Am I boring yet? ^_~ Happy Humour Hoover Okay, on to nicer stuff. I been buying thingies! Further fuelling my anime music obsessions has been fun ^_^; I bought L'Arc-en-Ciel's 'Link' single and the second volume of Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle soundtrack. They're lovely cool ^______^ I do wonder if I listen to music too much, though. Do you think it's possible? I tend to daydream whenever I do, which could be a reason for constant feelings of longing. Building up fantasties to such an extent probably isn't a good idea, especially if they involve semi-realistic evironments. Gah, sorry. *hits self* I was so pleased to find a Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within toy on eBay last week. I know it's a crap film, but I love the Copperhead spaceships. If I were able to choose any ship to have as my own in some weird spacey fantasy scenario kinda thing, that'd be it. Lookit! It's CUTE! *coughs* And I've been continuing the Suikoden and Tsubasa mangas. I might finish Trigun Maximum eventually, but the storyline's just not grabbing me any more. I also have Rune Soldier Volume 3, which is ironically the only volume I've not seen in any local shops. 1,2,4,5 and 6 are there, but no three. How odd o_o; Maybe everyone else is collecting it at the same time I am. Methinks I should buy 4 before they all disappear as well... Oh, I also have the new Appleseed. I've not watched it yet, but the box is lovelyfunky ^_^ EDIT: Oh, and I got a haircut. I'm quite pleased with it- at least it's short enough to actually style properly, rather than just try and fwip into a decent-looking position. It feels a little odd, though... And I received 'POST' through the post, heh. I haven't actually had the guts to watch the main bit yet- I get incredibly embarrassed when watching myself, especially when... well, if you've watched Pyro's film you'd understand why ^_^; I saw the outtakes, though, and they're pretty cool. Once I've figured out how to put my media player in widescreen I'll watch the rest. To Quote an Azure... Where is everyone, out of interest? At most, I only ever see three people on my Friends List as having updated in a single day. I know some people don't update anyway, and chancesd are those who normally do update more often are busy with something, but... ...bleh, it's nothing. Here's hoping everyone manages to get back soon, and that you're all well ^_~ Take care, hehe.
