Priority check...
Hmm... recently my interests have altered drastically. Including this place, which I have found suddenly to be nothing more than boring and dull. I apologise ahead of time, because I may go in to a rant before the end of my post here, but, as usual, I am writing off the top of my head about whatever I feel like.

Indeed, the only reason I am posting here now is because I am severely bored, and am waiting for my friend Tom to call so I know when to go out. If he calls me before I finish this post, then I don't expect I shall finish it... which means you won't be reading it. Hmm, that screwed my mind up for a second there.

I have begun to watch more sports than usual, as my school work has been relatively light of late. Yesterday my father and I went to watch a rugby game between the Celtic Warriors (my team) and Munster, an Irish team. We won, so I was happy.

Today, the all important Man Utd vs Arsenal FA Cup semi-final match. I was out at the time of the match, and so soon found myself sitting in a shop, watching the game on the 52" TV they were promoting. Man Utd won, which again pleased me... and when they scored the shop was treated to me standing up and yelling "Come on!" at the top of my lungs. My only hope was that every Arsenal fan in the shop heard it, and maybe now they'll shut up about their "unbeaten run".

Wierd now that I post on here not because I want to, but simply to consume time. I look at RPG's on Otaku, and as I'm about to sign up, simply think "What's the point?"... and then go do something else.

The strangest part of all this, is that this is generally the happiest I've been in quite some time. Free now of the Otaku which I used to love so much. Free of the "varied" and "interesting" community...

Perhaps it's the new found direction in my life, as I've actually found a career I want to do... or perhaps it's the heightened attention I've been getting from the female gender... or perhaps the fact that (and please take no offense) next to the friends I have in the real world, this place seems quite drole.

Now, I may have made a few spelling mistakes in this post... a few gramatical errors, which most of you, and I before, would frantically check for. But now, I simply couldn't care less.

Many of you have my thanks, it has been fun... but perhaps it's time to move on.

Anyway, maybe I'll see you the next time I'm bored like this. I can't make any promises though.

Actually, what I will say finally, is how much I have noticed throughout the Otaku's life, is the heavy bias on intelligence. Now, I am not saying this as a victim, from all the IQ tests I've taken I average roughly a 150. Still, I notice that any person that does not speak with the utmost focus on grammer and spelling will be patronised instantly, like a 5 year old whose lost his parents in a park.

All I'll say is this. Ignorance is the curse of the dumb. However, it is the sickness of the intelligent; who are all too arrogant to doubt themselves.

In the end people, it's only a website. Some of us need to keep that in mind.
