"Megatokyo"
This year for Christmas my girlfriend got me Megatokyo Vol.4. It was really nice to have. She also got me Knife of Dreams by Robert Jordan, but I haven't read it yet.
To get back into the swing of things, I reread volumes 1, 2, and 3 over the last couple days, and then last night I got into volume four and finished in in a couple hours. The this morning I went online and read through the online comic up to the current one.
I'd really forgotten about what I loved so much about Megatokyo, and getting back into reading it is a lot like meeting old friends again and talking about old times. So much so that I've been thinking a lot about high school, and what it was like. Man, it might sound weird but I really kind of miss it, with all it's dysfunction and angst. When all those little problems seemed so important, and the future was like land on the horizon, something to be afraid of and look forward to.
Of course now, my future is something to dread and fear, without a lot of hope. So of course this all seems to attractive to me.
And yet... I'd really wish one friend in particular from my high school days would get in touch. I really miss him, and could use to talk to him right now. Hopefully he'll read this and understand, but maybe not. I don't think many people read this by this point.
Speaking of which, I should check my friends list and unfriend anyone whose unfriended me.
Well, I've still got my health, my family, most of my friends and my love. That's pretty good, considering what I've done to myself.
I'd be really nice if I could draw. I've been thinking on it and a comic based on all the craziness and drama of my high school would be both awesome and theraputic. Reading Megatokyo has done one thing for me at least- I feel like writing again. Something meaningful, you know? It's been a long time since I've written any poetry or anything I can really show my friends and be proud of.
Anyway, I'm going to try and post more often now. Maybe not every day, but we'll see. Certainly whenever something interesting happens to me.
