Quan-su! I'd say my birthday was good this year. I mean I got the complete Robotech collection on DVD. Plus the Shadow chronicles movie that's supposed to conclude the series. My only gripe? Is that no matter how hard they try, Harmony Gold always, always, ALWAYS ends the Robotech saga on a cliffhanger! >.<

Gosh darn it, what has happened to the RP section? I mean, when I originally came here, I would post, and in about 5-10 minutes, I had the chance to reply again, after about maybe 2 or 3 posts! The RPs were flowing smoothly! Especially CoO, which was skyrocketing in potential!
What happened!? I mean, now look at the forums. Dozens of RPs sitting there, going unposted, waiting to be booted up. There's tons of potential just waiting there. But no one stays on for about a minute or so to push forward, even just an eensy bit. The biggest reason I don't post as much is because I'm waiting for other people to post. Why? Because if It was just me and Artemis (As it is in most occasions), it wouldn't really be a 'multi-person RP' now, would it?
The RP week was a good try to get it started, I'll admit. But I see the RP forums like a car right now. Going 5-10 mph on a bumpy road, when at any point it could turn to a smoother one and go, like, 70 or something. Sure, RP week pushed the gas pedal a little bit (like, 20 mph), but what happened after it was done? Back to the 5-10 mph.
*Grumble* Now, I understand some people do have things holding them back from posting. Logical reasons, such as work, school and homework and stuff. But some come online for, I dunno, 5 seconds, look at whats new, then drift off. I'm not naming any names, because I know of a few who do (Myself included sometimes).
I just think that we should get the RPs jumpstarted again. Because at the rate its going now, pretty soon we'll all be going "RP section? We used to have one of those. It's lieing around here somewhere..."
Go on, tell me I'm wrong, I'm fine with it. I just wanted to put that out there, and get it off my chest.
On a somewhat related note, Simeon, if you read this, I sent you a message.

Look at this signature. Isn't it the funniest and most hilarious signature you've ever seen?
I am the artist formerly known as Matrix Kirby.

Hi! I kinda with MK although I'm as guilty as a lot of people. There are some days where I can only get on the forums once or twice and if I happen to be running late one of those days I may not post in RPs to save time.
Perhaps we should all look over the RPs (not counting ROM and Portal Panic since those are different) and take the newest two or three and another two or three older ones, ones that everyone agrees they would like to keep going, and lock the rest. Then we can all make a commitment to focus on the remaining RPs and try to really get them moving again.
The games section used to be a lot more active too. Perhaps we just all need to try and post more.

Konbanwa!
On Thusday, I got an incurable addiction for Bleach manga. And then two days later started watching the anime 'cause I was quickly running out of manga to read. So, uh, yeah. ><
New obsession. Dang, I seem to be accumulating those...
Anyways...Sorry for not posting in any roleplays or whatever. I've been seriously braindead for quite a while now. @.@ Plus, parents like to keep me off the computer for as long as possible. Bweh.

Jambo! I have sincerely been trying to post more lately - I did make a nice little post in the FMA RP - but every time I get on the computer I think, "I need to work on the Super Special Awesome Huge Super IDAdex or it'll never get done." And then I start doing that, and get all the data for maybe one IPA all nice and pretty looking, and then I'll look at the sprite and say to myself, "You know what? I can make that better." No, I am not scizzophrenic. Least ways I don't think so.
Er... the point is, I end up spending all my computer time making unecessary sprites for IPA. I've also done just about all of the final stage sprites... seriously, any time you want to evolve an IPA to its third stage is fine with me. So once I finish that the Super Special Awesome Huge Super IPAdex shouldn't take long, and after THAT I'll be able to post with a clear conscience. In the mean time, don't you DARE close any RPs because KH: The Dark Keys would probably be among them and I'm not letting the Kingdom Hearts obsession die off completely.

"Irregardless" and "Over exaggerated" are NEVER CORRECT EVER because they are redundant
Regardless means "without regard", and adding "ir" on the front actually makes it a double negative; exaggerate means "to overstate" so you're literally saying "over overstate."
Example: I can not exaggerate the importance of this fact enough, regardless of how often people ignore it.

Hi! It's snowing here. We got out of school 3 hours early, which is dumb because our county is the only one that didn't preemptively close schools today.
Survivor will start back up when the flags are done according to Stevenson, so whoever is working on them on both teams should post them since they've had a while now.

How do you doobally do?
Not much to tell, school's boring, alot of homework, etc. etc.
On Guild Wars I joined the event to get Urgoz's Flatbow from Urgoz, Protector of Echovald Forest. Unfortunateleeeeeeeeeeeeee, he does 300 dmg per shot, has land mines popping out of the ground every second you move, slowers your movement with 90% and disallows you to attack. So I didn't got it. :[

Holy cheese sandwiches! Poik's already in the ROM Comic, and he's only been here like two weeks!
See? SEE!?
Hm, guess it pays to be a friend of the editors. *pterodactyl'd*
