I was so pumped for starting the Countdown event, but now I'm kind of stuck. I have most of my list assembled, and I know I could finish it within the day, but I have one problem.

That problem is depression.

I know some of you guys know firsthand how debilitating depression can be. You don't feel like doing anything, and when you realized you haven't done anything, you feel worse.

There are at least 10 different otaku-related things I have hanging over my head, and I can't seem to get into any of them. Maybe it's the lack of stuff going on regarding theO. Hardly anyone is posting, and even fewer people than that are commenting. Although I do comment on various things, I feel that I'm still a member of this guilty party. Plus, a certain wound in theO's side has been reopened, which is probably what's getting me down the most.

I sincerely apologize for this post. I try to hardly ever post anything this down, but I really have to vent a little. Thank you for your understanding.
