There's not enough bitching

/KICKS EVERYONE IN THE JUNK

Some sonnvabitch in Venezuela hijacked my email account for spam.

A promising RPG died midgame thanks to mandatory overtime and weekend shifts.

My muse has gone into witness protection.

My boss seems determined to make me quit by making my job hell.

And Batshit Bachmann can count on a minimum of 27% of the vote.

So how have your last couple of years been folks?

Hi Shade!

[RangerShade]

Yo.

I was amazed my old login was still here.

[Anastasia]

Wow, Shade's alive?

[Dracos]

The story on his return here is nothing short of amazing.  Trust me, it would never be believed.  The venzulian druglords alone would never admit it.

Welcome back for a time, Shade.  Good to see ya :)

Dracos has since began purchasing California slowly but surely.  Also makes games people possibly have heard of with their international distribution and all.

And at some point I went back into reading fanfics :P

We really should be in the welcome back thread or somethin'.  Oh well.  Screw the rules, I am admin. :P

I got kicked in the junk by Shade, when he still owes me a Ranma/Ukyou fic. ;_;

Hey, I got something to bitch about.

I maintain a relatively small text file of quotes, and I was in the process of updating it with a new one I found when I started perusing the older entries.  I came upon a chatlog from #soulriders.  I was first struck by how everyone used full, complete sentences, with proper capitalization and punctuating everything (which I've been really, really lax with lately).  Then I saw how dumb I was, because I was actually reading through the chat and understanding what the hell was going on instead of just sitting in my corner, feeling lost.  There was actual, good content, smart things being said, and I know that I didn't understand half of it at the time.

And then Iddy starts telling dead baby jokes.

Suffice to say, I'm bitching about how I've missed out on years, *years* of hanging out with really cool people.  Ugh.

[Yuthirin]

Hahaha welcome back, then? :D

[Anastasia]

Welcome back! Pull up a chair, relax and don't let Iddy get you.

[Brian]

Ugh.  I didn't even manage to feel tired until after 2:00 AM this morning.

I woke up a few minutes after 6:00 AM.

Stupid fic.

[Anastasia]

What fic?

[Brian]

You know.  That one. -_-

Guy keeps trying to get on my good side, or something.

"Have I stopped being depressing yet?"
"Your username should be EmoKid."
"I wrote an uplifting chapter!"
"...no, you didn't.  You wrote a chapter that wasn't as depressing, but still carried the theme of overwhelming futility."

Can hardly _wait_ to see how badly he ruins the next chapter, which is supposed to be the most positive.

[Anastasia]

Ah, THAT one.

You're caught in it's orbit, no matter how depressing it is. It's like the black hole of fics.

[Brian]

Singularities are mentioned in comparison to it frequently.

Actually, I've progressed beyond being depressed about his fic.  He crossed my threshold and I just don't give a damn about the characters anymore.

It is funny how chapter five's character tries to say all of my issues are misconceptions, but he does have a character outright lie about the underlying premise to try and sell her explanation for it....  Probably almost as irritating as the arrogant way he misleads the readers and expects everyone to be elated over a story that is literally 'Kyon is Jesus in Purgatory'.

Christian themes do nothing for me, so his story is just a big load of depressing.  I should start calling it 'The Passion of the Kyon'.

[Carthrat]

I feel compelled to ask; why do you keep reading the fic you know will hurt you?
