I feel like I've just had a bad dream without actually having one yesterday.

4 weeks of school left. And I'm so goshdarned worried about college. Will I survive? Will I get what I want, which is paradise? I don't want to be homesick for my doggies, but if I go to a college closer to where my family lives, I have a feeling I won't be as happy in Corpus Christi as I would in Austin. It's... ugh.

Totally screwed up RPing too. Had a character throw a fit of OOC wangstiness when he doesn't do that. I'm supposed to be the character, not use him as a soapbox vessel. But even the best RPers have their off days right? Right?

I'm considering taking a break from Sonic fandom. I'm just all tied up at the moment and the drama and wank makes me ill. This doesn't mean I'll stop fangirling Sonic obviously--Shadow's still my all-time favorite character, Sonadow is my #1 OTP, I still plan a billion fanfictions, etc. it's just that I don't want to get burnt out and bored of a universe that provides so much analysis and opportunity. I'll still RP, it's... I don't want the magic to go away.

All I want to do is get away from everything and play Pokémon Diamond. I know I got it on opening day like everyone else, and I KNOW I'm still below level 10 while everyone else is in their 20s from playing at their own pace, and... I know I'm slow and horrible. I just want to play. Even if it means dunking my Neopets in a hotel for a while. ledgem, once I get to the specific place, I'll be ready to pick up my eggs. Thank you so much!

Also worried about Carrie. For reasons I won't disclose here.

God, I feel like a lazy slacker. Too much Internet, too less video games...

Pfft. Forget about those other people. When I get Diamond I'll play at a slow pace, too. I'd much rather focus on unlocking the worlds than rushing simply to get to the end. I'll probably spend most of my time training my team in the grass.

Besides, by playing straight through, I find that I forget someone or something important that I should go back to later on in the game.

Wow... *Hug* I don't know what all to say. It sounds like you had a pretty bad day...

All I can say is about Pokemon though--everyone plays at their own pace. The people who beat these games in such short spans of time either play the game so quickly they miss the fun stuff or have no lives. I can tell you this because I beat Leaf Green in three weeks. No lives. Don't rush yourself. Pokemon is about the journey.

*hug*

Been there. :/

Regarding the Sonic Fandom, you could always do what I do and just be a part of it from a distance, at least for a little while. So you can still write all the fanfics you want and fangirl chest floof to your heart's content, but turn away from what the rest of the fandom is doing. Take a break inside a little fandom bubble, is kind of what I'm trying to say. Though I prolly ain't doing a good job of it.

Boo, if you're slow and horrible with Diamond, well, so am I! :3 I got it on opening day myself, and I'm still practically nowhere. I tend to spend a lot of time puttering around the beginning, mostly 'cause I have to work extra hard to train my small team of Pokemon (darn my pickiness!). So don't feel bad! ^^ There's no rush; play it at your own pace and relish the experience!

We all have our days, hun. Take some time to relax and...don't let college bother you for right now, either. I found that when preparing for university, I just didn't really think about it until I actually had to go.


Just DON'T do what I did in your first semester, which is panic over everything. If you have several assignments due all in the same week, work on them in the order they are due, one stinking assignment at a time (focusing ONLY one the one you are on), or else things will be nasty. Because I panicked and worried so much, I ended up taking frequent trips to the doctor, living on headache pills, and was constantly sick, day and night.

If you need to take time from fandom, take the time off :) I'm plowing away at writing my comics all the time and I even found myself to be getting too overwhelmed and needing some time off - I took a whole week off, in fact.

Look after yourself first, because if you're not feeling good, how do you expect to get anything done? Always look after yourself first.

Hang in there, Purin~ Don't push yourself too hard. If you have to force yourself to like a fandom, it's not worth it.

I've had Diamond since opening day yet I'm barely into it with only two hours on the clock. So much work... and doing a ton of breeding on my import game. X__X Take your time, the eggs are still here.

I stay pretty far outside Sonic fandom; I just stick to being a fan of Sonic in my own way. Works for me and no stress involved. :)
