Standing on the periphery

Yes, that's right, you caught me. I'm eating

a Klondike bar.

So sue me already! Sometimes you just need goodies...

Here is a special message for a dear friend of mine. You know who you are.

So I've been going through the PvP archives for the past few days, as you know, and it occurred to me that I read comics about video games without actually being a player of video games. Sure, I can beat King Koopa in the original Super Mario Bros. (after a multitude of tries), and sure, I indulge in PopCap's fantastic Dynomite quite a bit, but I am really no connoisseur (connoisseuse?) of games. Games in 3D intimidate me. I tried to play one of the Mario ones once, and I was totally confused by the shifting camera angle. Supposedly men are better at spatial thinking than women, so maybe I go into it with a handicap. Still, I'm sure I could learn, if I cared to practice. I just don't care to.

I say that about so many things :>

Anyway, this whole standing on the periphery of a movement and watching it happen but not really participating thing is typical of my entire life, or at least of most of my relationships. I always feel like an outsider, like everyone else is getting things done and going places and I am just watching and trying my best to catch up. I have this wild desire to be cool and interesting and to have people remember me long after I'm gone. It's really...annoying. I want people to be interested in me, therefore I feel that I must become interesting. I'm not interesting yet, obviously, because I'm not famous yet. Right?

;P

I'm starting to like the design of my Xanga blog better than my main site design. It's sort of annoying me. Then again, maybe it's time for a change on my site. I do, after all, favor the color blue. We'll see if I ever feel like actually changing it.

Speaking of web design, I still owe my mom a redesign of the No-Dog site, and I also should redo GP4's page and update the Macross 2051 homepage. I really haven't felt in the mood to design a website in quite some time; otherwise, I would do something for Box of Bunnies, the new website for my local circle of friends. But meh.

I still feel like I'm hungry...like for a chicken sandwich o_o I guess technically I only had two meals today, but still, a sandwich? At this hour? Bleh.
