So it's been. I don't know. 3 or 4 months since I stopped posting in General. You could actually extend that to the whole internet altogether, because I've really slowed down on my forum posting activity.

Anyway, I realized how much I missed out of life. There was so much I had to catch up on, all because I spent too much time posting on here. I mean, I don't want to sound too antagonistic towards the BBS, but leaving is probably one of the best decisions I've made in a while.

And even if you don't want to leave the BBS altogether, but you feel like it's sucking the life out of you, take some time out. It really does help.

i can't sleep and i have school tomorrow. i'll probably fall asleep in history again. i think i have narcolepsy.

i took three honors classes this semester which means i pretty much have no time to do anything anymore other than homework.

school school school will be my life until january. at least next semester will be piss easy.

i realize i pretty much said this in my other news post. but.

LOOOVE IS OUUUUR REEESSIIISSTAAAANNCEEEEEE

I haven't been here in a while, I know, besides the C&C in the BBS. But anyway, I'll be here even less now that I have school. I've actually become more focused on real life since my little spiel about being sick of the internet as it wasn't going anywhere. There are many things I've neglected and left behind that I'm only taking notice of just now.

So school just started. My schedule sucks because I have three honors classes this semester. I'm only supposed to have two but the school fucked it up or something.

1. Honors History
2. Honors Chemistry
3. Poetry
4. Honors English

Bleh, I'm piled with homework every night. At least next semester will be easy as hell.

bunch of shit to do.
don't even know why i'm on here.
damn.

haha

I've been IRLing more recently, because I really, really am sick of the internet. Well, really, it's not the internet, but the BBS. I know there have been numerous users leaving Newgrounds recently, and, well, I guess I'll just be another part of that statistic. But let me explain why:

-I'm sick of the stream of internet trends that flow out of 4chan and inundate the BBS.
-I'm sick of the relentless repetition of said internet trends.
-I'm sick of assholes scouring the forums like packs of fucking hyenas looking to up their egos.
-I'm sick of little shits thinking everything is a joke and ruining good discussions.
-I'm sick of pretentious, narcissistic pseudo-intellectuals trying to outdo everyone else, who turn everything into a fucking competition.
-I'm sick of the pathetic internet drama that I've seen so frequently very recently, usually all over something stupid like a ban.

Really, they're pretty much all the same reasons as to why everyone else left Newgrounds. Mine are no different.

But besides those, there is one particular reason why I'm leaving that I'm setting apart from everything else: I've been posting on Newgrounds for two-and-a-half years, and it's just like school - I've watched users coagulate into their little cliques and groups, watched users post and find their niche in this mess - but sadly, I never found mine. I continued posting, however, all the while steadily falling into disenchantment with the forums, and now I've hit bottom. I can't believe it's taken me two-and-a-half fucking years for me to realize this, but this place isn't for me.

I don't blame anyone. I think the mods and admins are doing a decent job. But for more than two years, I've tried too hard to find a place on this site, and I just haven't found it. And now I'm giving up. I will say, at least, that it's been nice to call myself a part of this community for the past couple years, but I've prolonged my stay here. Apart from a few people, I never really formed any friendships here, but if you're one of those few, thank you for making this a much better experience for me.

I'll be popping in now and again, I suppose, for the writing contests, maybe in the C&C. I'll still be playing games, depositing, and if the Lit Portal comes out, I'll surely be submitting. I won't be leaving Newgrounds. But I don't think I can call myself a BBS regular any longer.

Until next time, whenever that may be.

And the deadline for the MWC is approaching. We'll see if I make it in time.

piss fuck

The ending is just heavenly. Shame the audio quality is hampered a bit. YouTube doesn't do the song justice.

But anyway, Takk... is now my favorite album, ever, no contest.
