LS vs. The End
A lot of you have been asking where I've been and how I'm doing and all that. Well, I honestly appreciate all of the concern. I'm doing fine and I'll explain where I've been. But before I do, I must inform you that this is possibly my final post on myOtaku. It was a difficult decision to make, but I firmly believe it is for the best.
If you've read my posts or, like an estimated 55% of you, skimmed over them and pretended to read the whole thing, you know that my style of posting was a lot different than almost everyone else on here (the closest that I can think of is my good buddy, the great Grifter99). Most people simply type how their day went or rant about whatever's on their mind in a straight-forward manner. There's nothing wrong with that, but that's not how I did things here. My goal was to entertain whoever read what I posted here and to do that, it took effort from a creative (and to a lesser extent, a physical) standpoint. Every night, I'd come home from a long day at work and think of ways to type about how my day went as humorous as I possibly could. Every night, I'd have to think up a picture of the day with a caption, bombing most of the time and hitting the mark on rare occasion. Every night, I'd have to be as creative as possible. I won't lie... it became very difficult after a while. That's part of the reason why I shortened my posts from five days a week to three. And it's not like I'm a professional web columnist who gets paid. This was all done for free with what little spare time that I had.
Not that I'm complaining... I had fun. Lots of it. Otherwise, I would have stopped a long time ago. I enjoyed writing stories. I loved creating captions. I was thrilled with the response that I received. My goal to entertain the myOtaku masses was going better than I could have hoped for. But things became more difficult for me, difficult to the point that they weren't fun, but chore-like. I place part of the blame for this feeling on my overall decrease in visits/comments. I know I wasn't the only one who received a large drop, but still, it felt bad to me. I guess I could equate it to a TV show that had a big run and started dipping in the ratings. However, the visitors who continued to stop by whenever they could, whether it be every day, once a week or even once a month, I still enjoyed making them laugh, smile or scratch their head. Perhaps it is best that I do leave before I really stink up the joint like certain yellow-skinned cartoon families that don't know when to retire.
As fun as it was, it was also very time consuming. There were nights where I'd sit in front of the computer for hours trying to think of something unique to talk about. That's "hours" with an "h". As a young man at the age of 24 going on 25, I shouldn't be wasting that kind of time. I shouldn't be sitting here, watching my life go on without me. I could have always, you know, stopped doing what I did and be "normal" with my typing. But my ego won't allow it. If I can't be the LS that everyone grew to know and (dis)like, then I can't be him at all. I'm not going to offer anyone the diet drink when the regular version tastes better, no matter what Dr. Pepper tells me. If you believe everything commercials tell you, then you'll end up believing that Disney really throws those unsold movies into an underground vault and that alcohol companies actually care about kids with their "be responsible, don't drink under 21" C.Y.A. statements.
Since I've been away from myOtaku, I've had a lot more free time. I've picked up hobbies that I dropped a long time ago, now that I have more time to work with them. I've been able to spend more time with people that I care about. When I look back, it amazes me how much time was spent on this site. Once again, it was fun and time well-spent, but it was way too much. So, with that said, I must bid my friends here a farewell, goodbye, sayonara, or whatever you want to use. Before I go, I shall bequeath my belongings to some of those closest to me... kind of like a will. *ahem*
I like that word. "Bequeath". Hee hee.
To my beloved SessLover18 (a fitting username...), I leave you with... um... a $100 Best Buy giftcard. Appearances can be deceiving... it only has $22.96 left on it... have fun shopping in the PS2 bargain bin!
To my good friend ElvesAteMyRamen, I leave you with some ramen that can never be eaten by elves for it's coated in a special material that will poison them if they do. It's safe for humans though... I think.
To my virtual brother destinyssweetman, I leave you with my cronies Jaken and Rin. If I hold on to them any longer, the child protection services agency will have me imprisoned. Apparently my scheme to use them in my "LS - LifeStyle" clothing sweatshop is illegal in this country. Who knew?
To my favorite husband-and-wife on myOtaku, bunraku and Yensid, I leave you with a life-size cardboard cutout of Billy Mays. There's a voicebox on the back and he says things really loud. However, he can be customized to shill anything. For example, "Hi, Billy Mays here for (blank)" can be "Hi, Billy Mays here for Goat Fondlers Anonymous!"
To my partners-in-perversion Knight Edge and Grifter99, I leave you both with copies of my little black book that contains girls' phone numbers. Use them well... and I'm sorry that all of the pages are blank. Eh, here's one last hot anime woman for the road, Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann's Yoko Ritona:
To my frog-tattoo sporting companion Sasaya, I leave you a coupon for a free tattoo at "Barry's House of Ink" in East St. Louis. If you're ever in the midwest, feel free to use it... granted, Barry's parlor isn't a parlor at all... it's actually the last stall in the men's room at Applebee's... and he uses a Sharpie... at least it's free, right?
To the scarecrow, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Universitartus Committiartum E Pluribus Unum, I hereby confer upon you the honorary degree of ThD.
To another good friend twilight samurai, I leave you with a really valuable, eBay-ready stale potato chip that is shaped like George Washington's head... wait... that's a quarter. Then... why was it in my Ruffles' bag...? O.o
To the recently-engaged Vankala 86, I leave you with something you can use for your honeymoon. It's an all-expense paid vacation to the island of Jamaica! ... OK, I can't afford that, so you'll receive a Bob Marley CD and some tropical Kool-Aid mix. Close enough.
To my friendly former rival Jigglyness... I remember we were rivals over something... I forgot what... oh well... I leave you with a bowling ball that can never miss the pins. You'll get a strike every time. Yes, that's a hamster rolling around inside the ball. Animal rights be damned!*
*DISCLAIMER: LordSesshomaru loves animals. Not to the point where he'd want to have relations with them like PETA members do, but he really loves animals.
To the mistress of fanfic writing kitabug69, I leave you with a book of shirtless anime men. You appear to adore that sort of thing. I apologize that all of the pictures in the book only feature shirtless anime women with mustaches drawn on. I didn't have a book with men... eh, use your imagination!
To the excellent Croatian graphic artist GIDRA, I leave you with a broken Hollow mask, just like the ones the arrancars in Bleach wear. Included is a bottle of super glue that you can use to place the mask anywhere on your body. But be careful as the glue is really powerful. I've used it to catch several squirrels outside a la fly-paper.
To my ever-so-supportive friend KayuraWolfwood, I leave you with a donkey. This is a magic donkey, like the one in "Shrek". If you drink enough liquor, he'll start talking to you!
To my fellow bimbo-hater lytjuh, I leave you with this picture of an LOLcat. Cherish it.
To... *grumbles*... Tito..., I leave... absolutely nothing. You stole my car while pretending to be Batman. No gift for you!
To everyone else I couldn't mention, due to this post being incredibly long, I still care for you, unless you skimmed over the entire post and have no idea what's going on. Then I hate you with every wretched fiber of my agitated being. It's my final post, dammit! Couldn't you read the whole thing JUST THIS ONCE?! What's wrong with you?! Didn't your parents raise you with any form of manners?! You think you can get away with this?! On my last post?! Get out of my house!
...
*ahem* To everyone else I couldn't mention, I leave you, and the others before you, with my eternal gratitude. Thank you, thank you very much for being so supportive to me over the years. It's been 4 1/2 years... that's quite a run. You can still contact me via e-mail, if you'd like (my e-mail address is on the upper left in my profile). I won't change my address or anything. If you'd ever like to chew the virtual fat with me, drop me a line.
And so I ride off into the sunset. Wherever there's a busty anime female, I'll be there. Wherever there's a squirrel causing injustice against humanity, I'll be there. Wherever there's a child who claims I stole his candy when he wasn't looking, I won't be there. Goodbye, my friends! May the future hold nothing for you but good fortune and--
Jaken and Rin: *singing* Na na na na, na na na na, hey hey hey, goodbye! ^_^
Oh shut up. -_-;;
~~~~Sayonara minna-san.~~~~
