~It sure as hell ain't normal, but we deal, we deal~

twitchytwitch's latest LJ post reminded me... I _really_ need to get my bottlecap collection up from London and bring it here. You know, this one:



... except I have twice as many now, especially since Jei gave me a whole bag more when she was here last week ^^; So, why are the rest back in London? ;_; Because I only brought my Sonic stuff when we moved. I packed up all my Pokémon stuff too, but the boxes wouldn't all fit in the van :\ So I had to leave some behind, and since my Poké-stuff is less relevant than my Sonic stuff, I chose to leave it behind for later... only I forgot that all my precious bottlecaps were in my two Team Rocket tins, which I packed with all my other Pokémon/TR things. Gah. Bottlecaaaaps! ;___; But... at least... my mom is going back to London in a couple weeks to spend a few days with my brother, so I'll just ask her to pick up my two TR tins then ^_^

Speaking of which... that's going to mean a few days here by myself. Whee!! ... shame I don't have anyone to invite over for a giant party (SA2:B multiplayer tourny!). Oh well, it'll still be cool having the place to myself for a couple of nights.

I'm a little disoriented right now o.o It's hard to explain, but things decided to get a tiny bit more confusing over the past couple of days ^^; I guess that's what happens when I turn AIM on after several months without signing on, and then a million people from past and present IM me at once :P Sometimes I had too many IMs and I stopped answering some :\ So if I went silent while I was talking to you, I'm sorry. I just got kerfuffled ^^; But I'm glad I came on, because chatting to you guys is awesome and I forgot how much fun it could be ^^

Lunar mentioned this in his LJ, but I'm going to add my voice too. Like him, I'm thinking of resigning my adminship at TTR. It's been a blast, but... it's really not going anywhere anymore. I'm... not an obsessive Tails fan. I'm an obsessive Sonic fan, but I'm finding it more and more weird trying to stay active on a Tails forum when I mostly want to talk about Sonic XD And... aside from that, it's just not the same anymore. All the people I conversed with on there are here on LJ now and not on TTR anymore (aside from the admins, who I think only stay there out of a sentimental sense of loyalty). And I maintain or co-maintain 4 Sonic communities right here on LJ... and that's enough for me. So, even though I do still feel an attachment to TTR just from having been at the helm with the other admins for so long, if Lunar and Sully and the others decide to throw in the towel, I'm going too. It's been fun, but... yeah...

You know, I've never liked Shadow. I've never really accepted him, or any of the newer games, as 'canon'. I don't believe in Station Square or all the humans in the newer games, and I can't stand Sonic X beyond the pretty art *cough*icons*cough* (I don't 'believe in' Cosmo, or even Rouge, Cream, the Chaotix etc). I'm stuck in a belief system that revolves around SatAM, fragments of Archie, AoStH, the earlier games, and perhaps tiny fragments from SADX. I can't see myself changing on that. Yet... something happened that makes me wonder if I'm going to have to re-evaluate Shadow, at least a little. I'm thrown, and confused, and I don't know what to make of it x.x I guess the good thing about the Sonic fandom is there really is so much to choose from... but is it right to believe little bits from each incarnation without every really accepting any one as the complete truth? Thinking about it, Archie brought Shadow into the SatAM universe... so... I guess it's possible. And now I'm going to stop babbling, because I realize I'm making absolutely no sense 9_9

So anyway...

Can't take the kid from the fight,
Take the fight from the kid,
Sit back, relax, sit back, relapse again
Can't take the kid from the fight,
Take the fight from the kid,
Just sit back,
Just sit back

Hmm, I need more Panic! At The Disco. Anyone recommend some other good tracks by them? ^^
