Anti-Climax?

Heh, I'm sorry if I've kind of built this post up to be more than it is- last night I finished typing up a post, and almost immediately afterwards thought "This isn't right". No matter how many times I re-edited it or reworded various phrases, it just didn't come out right. I guess I was in an odd mood. The last few nights have felt rather odd, actually. Certainly last Wednesday/Thursday night I had a terrible time trying to get to sleep. I wasn't sure why; I just felt really emotionally uncomfortable. The post really wasn't about much- just questioning the existance of my site in relation to buttons. That is, site buttons as opposed to plastic/metal/kyrptonite ones you might have on your shirt/blouse/bra or whatever. I'm just not sure I want one. Maybe that's just because I'm inept with graphics programs and have nowhere to host the images anyway... but I try and make a point of not jumping onto bandwagons unless they're something I feel would really add to my life. I remember I was proposed to in two out of three of my OB 'marriages', and the third I just... wanted, I suppose. I can't really describe why, but most evidence of all three's been wiped out now courtesy of v7, so I doubt I'll get started with that again. But even though they turned into a fad, they still served a purpose to build bridges, however long they actually lasted. As things go, buttons are definately a creature comfort. Albeit a rather nice-looking one. And I suppose they do give character to the links and cut out all that 'links to the left' business that has you scrolling through up to hundreds of names for the next site on your MyO run. But if everyone has them then it takes away their uniqueness. I suppose calling it a bandwagon seems a little unfair, but it did seem that way when suddenly every site I visited had a button designed for them, heh. I'm not bitter at all- they're really nice to look at, and if I wanted one that much I'd have asked. And after all, if they are a good idea then there's no reason why people shouldn't have them. I'm not advocating their use at all. I'm just making a mountain out of a molehill, hehe ^_^; I'm happy to put people's buttons up here- I've been meaning to revamp my intro for some time; I think with the quality of the artwork that's floating around it'd make any site look much nicer anyway, heh. One Last Shot Only four episodes of Trigun to go, then I'll have finished the series. It's been absolutely fantastic so far, and my sister says it's now her favourite anime. I'd probably have to agree, but only because I've seen things like Outlaw Star, Digimon and Nadesico more times than I can count. They're still great, just not as fresh. I can hardly believe what I found out that happens actually happens, though. It doesn't seem right somehow. But I doubt all those spoilers would be lying to me. I somewhat hope they are, or that I misremembered them or something. I have a penchant for my favourite characters being those who die at some point in the series. That's probably part of the reason behind my old OB signature, which I have yet to find a dceent host for >.> I can't just upload it to a thread on OB- it uses up the site bandwidth unfairly. But it might get more traffic than perhaps one free account can give me... ah well, I'll just have to find out. It's useful to have experience with these things anyway. I'm a big boy now, I can do this ^_^; Shin: It's purple now, you can relax. Disaster has been averted ^_^ Ben: (and anyone else in the RPG) Way of the Worlds is going to pace up a bit soon, make sure you're ready... when you're ready of course, heh. I don't want to rush you or anyone else if you have stuff to do. Which people inevitably do. Azure: ^_^; I've seen shorter, but at the time I wans't in the mood for decent explanations, and if I deleted the post it still would have said I updated and I didn't want people to think I was bluffing them just to get visits, heh. Mimmi: ^______^ I love The Last Samurai OST *hugs* Thankies, hehe. I owe PMs and MyO visits... which I shall (try to) honour in the next few days. Not hungry. I ate quite some while ago, heh. Oddly enough I wasn't too hungry then, either. But I did have a very big lunch. EDIT: Can you believe it? I was going on about my luck in Dark Crisis boosters because I hadn't had a Judgement of Anubis yet (which I bought in the end anyway), but in my very first Invasion of Chaos booster I got none other than the Dark Magician of Chaos! My one most fvaourite card I'd been waiting for out of that set, hehe. I was incredibly chuffed. And then a few packs later I got Dimension Fusion, which is incredibly useful. I r do be teh biggies chuff-edednessed.
