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.

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)
Heapers’ HangoutYes, threadhopping. I should try that.
...I still feel like I'm in a rut; I think maybe my posting habits are reflecting that.
Heapers’ HangoutFuck, 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.
Heapers’ HangoutSomehow 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)
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)
Heapers’ HangoutMeh. 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...
Keep Rolling OnOddly, 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.

@Tzetze: Silly me, there were 36 rows. :P
I'm pretty much in my way to bed myself.
It's not exactly naive. And it can happen. But it's tough. And definetly worthwhile.
