Troper Updates II, Part II

Go To

In which we get updates from the lives of tropers. Kinda like Twitter with more than 140 characters, but less than a blog or LJ.

Please refrain from excess venting in this thread. Talking about negative emotions is fine but it's best not to dwell on them for too long. TV Tropes is not suited to deal with mental health situations.

@Tzetze: Silly me, there were 36 rows. :P

I'm pretty much in my way to bed myself.

It feels insular, like you said.

And nothing in OTC right now actually interest me, except maybe the bully thread.

Part of my problem with OTC is that I check it infrequently, and the few threads that interest me tend to grow too fast to...well, keep my interest.

(Admittedly, I had the same problem with a lot of IJBM threads back in the day)

Yes, threadhopping. I should try that.

...I still feel like I'm in a rut; I think maybe my posting habits are reflecting that.

Weirdly I seem to be crawling out of mine, somehow.

Fuck, I want to post in the nostalgia thread over in OFH, but I'd be responding to you and that feels like missing the point.

Somehow being obsessed with the presentation of OTA stations again is like "getting back into the swing of things". It seems whenever I am down the past/recurrent things are a source of comfort to me. I've spent a lot of my life longing for the past, which gets weird at times.

^How would it be missing the point?

Interestingly, I feel the same way sometimes, which is why I'm looking for my next big "obsession". Being fixated on one particular obsession is like a comfort zone for me, but for the first time in a while I feel like I'm without a current obsession, and that kinda leaves me feeling "empty".

(This probably sounds dumb to anyone who's not you or me)

How would it be missing the point?
I don't know, the idea of branching out was that posting here and only talking to you felt too insular. (This is not meant as an insult)

Also I was afraid it would look like I was following you around. (I'm not, we just both like the same kinds of threads/topics)

Meh. incoming rant:

Rorschach's day job is a garment worker. He can sew like a motherfucker. Do. Any. Of. Those. Items. Look well-constructed to you?

Rorschach is a man. A MANLY man, a redblooded American male. Do any of those items look masculine or even androgynous to you? Oh hell, Silk Spectre's outfit is a little manlier.

Look at the prices on those things. Paying $57 for a plain not-tailored t-shirt is ridiculous, even for me and I'm not dirt poor. I'd pay several hundred dollars for a good outfit, sure, but it better be a quality outfit. QUALITY. *

tldr overpriced trash for whores. WHORES, Juan Carlos.

I don't like not being heavily interested in something myself.

It would feel weird to get back into Vanity Plates, given that I would probably feel the need to upload some more to my Dailymotion account that I haven't touched in 3 years...

I be awake.

Had breakfast. Let's see if I do any writing today. And if anyone wants an Kei Nagase Avatar, I've got one...

Oddly, the things I've done lately that help me "feel better" (though I hesitate to say "feel better", as I haven't actually been feeling down) were browsing the Vanity Plate wiki and, more so, tracking down old logos to add to Logopedia.

I'm not sure what to make of that, though.

My status as admin over there is real weird. Pretty much all I do anymore is touch some things up, maybe make a couple people who don't look too untrustworthy writers, and leave for another week or so.

...I love mellon's rant, they're so fun to read. :D

And agreeable too. ^_^

...Two emoticons in one post?

...

Juan, you're walking the dark path...
