5 am. Man, you'd think I would have something better to do at 5m, like drifting off into sweet, beautiful sleep. But no, instead I'm awake, waiting for a download to finish while I flip back and fourth between watching reruns of Nick Arcade (man, I miss that show) and the Taiwanese live action drama adaptation of the Mars manga on the Asian Culture

I kind of left the RI scene for similar reasons. I like the people themselves - RI is largely made up of one of my more-favorite contingents of people on the internet. But it's a battle that you can't get involved in without coming out feeling dirtier for it - people arguing about this continuity or that tournament shortcoming, or some issue they have with someone or other's writing. Maybe it's gotten better - I haven't been a "regular" around RI for over a year, so my assessment is based off the time I sorta 'left.'

Since I wanted to remain on good terms with all these people I consider friends, I kinda felt like I had to disengage myself from the center of the maelstrom. I still like tournaments and all, and if someone wants to talk about stuff my e-mail is always open, but...coupled with my not-all-that-much-like of IRC chat in general (I always feel like it sucks up my time really unconstructively) and the general trend of discussions, I felt it'd be best for me (and the friendships I hold) to sort of move to the outer fringe. So, I can see why you'd feel like doing the same. Just...uh...keep it real, man. Peace!
