In other news, my previous account (The Supreme Magnificent High Swaglord) is now dead. About damn time, tbqh.
I may return for somewhat longer than I was initially expecting. Why am I here? No idea whatsoever. I really ought to find some way out of this place.

Also, the NS stats don't reflect my RL views, just to clarify.

To quote a movie that in hindsight was just... mediocre, I guess:

Wannabe Darth Vader wrote:Let the past die. Kill it, if you have to. That's the only way to become what you are meant to be.


Or something like that.

Y'know, I still want to leave NS; this site has nothing to offer me anymore. However, for lack of a better term, I am addicted to this site to such a degree that I can never leave. I suppose all I can do is resign myself to this hell that I've condemned myself to.

I don't even feel comfortable here in TET at this point; it's hard to have a casual, light-hearted atmosphere when some of the other regulars are, in other threads, bitter philosophical and ideological enemies of me. It doesn't feel fun at that point, not when I have to (figuratively speaking) force a smile around those who make me feel... angry, perhaps? Why am I even venting about it here? Why? I should have never joined this site back when I was in middle school, and I shouldn't have made the Swaglord account as a sophomore in high school, and so on.

That's the point of yet, you can be bitterest of ideological enemies, yet still be polite, civil and even.... friendly.

Edit: And if. Swaglord is the dumbest thing you do in your life, you are doing pretty good.

You miss my point, though. This goes beyond "normal" differences in worldview; the individuals I'm referring to (I refuse to name names, because I don't want to turn this into even more of a shitshow) are downright evil, or at least their beliefs are. I hate having to be civil to them, if I'm to be completely open with y'all. It feels... fake, perhaps?

Anyway, I should probably stop. I have a party to attend this evening, several actually.

I doubt it. The battery is going dead and half the keys are held on with duct tape on top of these new issues. And my job hunt keeps coming up dry, so I can't afford to get a new one anytime soon.

How did you get to be here?

MARY, CHARLEY
Pick yourself a road
Get to know the countryside
Soon enough you’re merrily

ALL
Merrily
Practicing dreams

Dreams that will explode
Waking up the countryside
Making you feel merrily
Merrily, what can go wrong
Rolling along?

Some roads are soft
And some are bumpy
Some roads you really fly
Some rides are rough
And leave you jumpy
Why make it tough
By getting grumpy?
Plenty of roads to try
