Ladies and gentlemen, Styx.
Hello everyone. Just wanted to do a post to let everyone know that I'm still alive. I still visit this place at least three times a day to see what's going on and sometimes leave a comment or two. I also still have a major case of art block where wallpapers are concerned, I'm sorry to say. Anyway, this past month hasn't been a very good one for me. I've been having a lot of bouts of insomnia lately. There were quite a few nights during the past month where I'd be up until 3:00 or 4:00 AM. Most times I'd have no trouble getting to sleep the following night, though every night during the final week of May I was up until at least 3:00 AM for some reason.
Thankfully my insomnia seems to have gone away, but now I find I'm dealing with another problem. And this is a problem that I've experienced many times before. It's more or less summertime now, and very often I tend to get a little bit depressed during the summer. I've never really understood the reason why I get a little depressed at this time of the year. I think part of it is that for some reason, the summer reminds me that nothing in this life is permanent, that a lot of those moments in our lives become nothing but old photos that we keep in a shoebox or an album that gathers dust on a bookshelf. These moments of depression are especially bad in the late evenings when the sun is setting.
Of course I want to assure everyone that this isn't a severe depression that I'm experiencing. It's just something that happens to me almost every year around this time. In any case, this past month hasn't been all bad. I've really been enjoying the third season of Sailor Moon Crystal. Of course I'm going to save all my comments on this past season for another post that'll basically be a review. And that post won't be put up until after the season ends. Also, I'm getting close to finishing this one fanfic that I've been working on for over a year now. It's been one of the harder stories I've written, and every now and then I found that I had to take a long break from it. I'm hoping to get the story done before the end of the month.
That's pretty much all there is to report at the moment. Before I end this post though, I'd like to take a moment to get some feedback on this idea I've been toying with for a while. I've been thinking of taking my old Tales of Light and Darkness world here on TheO and converting it into something else. That world was made for me to post some of my fanfics, but since I hardly post stories on TheO anymore, I've been thinking of converting the world into something new. The fanfics I have posted in that world would either be moved to this world or to my Pokemon and Yu-Gi-Oh! worlds. As for what I'd turn the Tales of Light and Darkness world into, I'm thinking of doing a music-based world. For instance, I've been toying with this idea for a series of posts on the music I associate with different anime shows and characters. I would also greatly welcome guest posters to this music world.
So what does everyone think? Good idea? Bad idea? Please let me know in a comment. Until next time, I hope everyone's been having a better time during this past month than I have.
