The Lost Weekend...

whitereflectionWeekend was a bust, but I seem to be almost fully recovered--voice is almost all the way back, booyah! :) Friday (after a half day of work) and Saturday I crashed *baaaaaaaaad*...slept constantly and ignored everything else. Except for the four times Friday afternoon that someone programmed their fax machine to dial my home phone. Ergh. Sunday I basically rested--Kelly dragged me over to her place with Anj, Gina, and Katherine while James was out at Amtgard (like a live action fantasy RPG, where you occasionally beat on each other with foam covered weapons). We talked a bit, I doodled (I might color the pic--looks like a mass of tangled ribbons curling over the paper) and stared off into space a lot. Kelly actually did a real art-type-piece, Gina crocheted. T'was ok, if quiet. And I'm actually trying a full day of work today. I need to--been feeling lazy with all the sick days and half days. *shrugs*
One bright spot to the weekend: Anj loaned me seven tapes at six hours each of old cartoons she'd taped. Eek! the Cat (and the Terrible Thunderlizards), The Tick (I'd had a few eps taped, but not *nearly* as many as she had), even a bit of Sam&Max (I'm hoping she has eps I don't). I am having a copy-extravaganza. ^_^ Anj is such a goddess.
On a blah note, I think I'm giving up on The Jar forums. I'll read the webcomic every single day it's posted, I swear, but I'm really just burned on the message boards. It's simply not fun anymore, and I refuse to waste time on something that's not fun. I made a few friends there, but I can keep in contact with them by lj and AIM.
I mean...the forums are just a bunch of 14-year-olds jacking around these days--the latest newbies I saw when catching up last night just fried me completely. Personally, I'm very big on not judging on age; after all, I've had fun joking with even high school types. But these 14-yr-old types *act* like it...act even younger, like jr high or elementary school level. And I refuse to deal with immature ditwads anymore. It's just...*shakes head* no more. I'm not putting up with it any longer.
Got a few RPs there I've got to figure out what to do with, tho. The chibi-Jar one...I think that's DOA, in all actuality. Wasn't really bouncing well off the gal who had the seme-Jar to my uke-Jar anyway--I don't think she knew how to (or was comfortable) RP a seme type character. *shrugs* Bill's Apocalypse RP...I don't know what to do with that one. Being War is fun in a way, but I'm so unmotivated to get back to that. All but a few of the people in the RP I could care less about--I mean, I like Bill, AN, and Kara, but that's it really.
The Montrose AU RP I really like--it's got a neat Shadowrun/Mage: TA feel--but I treat posting there like I treat writing for real. I put a bunch of effort into it, which takes a bunch of mental/creative energy, not to mention time and *work*. And well...my character is really just a normal human with a few special traits and abilities--no big deal, with no huge impact on the storyline I think. More likely than not I'll end up bumbling my way into getting her killed off, or at least get the character's ass kicked in a major way and end up luzer instead of hero. ...I dunno. I'm gonna have to think about that one.
Ah well. Maybe ditching the forum boards will free up a little time for me. I haven't been doing anything with art or writing stuff, and I really should change that. Eh. *shrugs*
Random thought: The Evil Midnight Bomber What Bombs at Midnight is my *hero*. :)
Oh, and Rei? My new little Max pic (from the comic) is 'cause you rock for knowing Sam&Max exists. *grins*

Date: 2002-03-18 01:01 pm (UTC)Note that I've already given up on the forums as well. And for the exact same reasons as you. I have, or at least think I do, all the AiM, ICQ, and MSN names of the people I wanna keep in contact with.
Oh, and I should practice my Evil Midnight Bomber What Bombs at Midnight voice again. Used to do it perfectly.
"And so he says to me, 'you wanna be a baaaad guy?' And I says, 'Yeah baby! I wanna be bad!' Surf's up space ponies! I'm making gravy, without the lumps! AHAHAHAHHHHAAHAHAHHA"
