Fancy title for a common message: I'm baaack! 
Remember me? No? Good!
Seriously now, I'm thinking of coming back for the sake of the fun I had online chatting with my friends. I still don't feel like getting back online and being active, but I figured that if I don't start doing it or something, I'll never feel like it. Like an old proverb here in my country, hunger comes eating.
So, I'm really wondering now what happened to all of my friends, especially:
[*] risi
[*] mklanseks (aka Kratos now on GT) - why #&@#$*&^ is he banned?! don't tell me it's...*gasp* permanent?
[*] hush404
[*] diamond (on Gamespot) - where art thou?
[*] riku (on GS)
Sorry if I couldn't remember everyone's name. I'm ashamed, but I was absent for so long (2 years) that I forgot your names. I haven't forgot your personas (personalities), though, so don't worry.
So, I'm thinking of coming back and giving it another try. If I'll like it and be comfortable with the time spent to writeup blogs and comments, I'll stay. If I still feel like it's a drag or that I'm not ready, I'll... think about it then.
Honestly, though, I'm expecting the later as I haven't seen many friends online since my last visit. Most of them seem to have left around the time I did (strange, isn't it? It's a bit too much for a coincidence. Any theories, anyone?). It won't be much fun without them.
Oh yeah, and I'm beginning to cut down on my friends list. I had so many friend updates on GT that I started feeling like I had a sisyphean task on my hands. The ones that remain on that list are the ones whose blogs, usermovies, photos (rarely) or reviews (even rarer) interest me. That means that I'll be going through everyone's G-Pad, so don't worry about mercilessly and unconsciously murdering you.
Something similar will probably also happen on GS sometime later, after I sort things out on GT.
Hmm... need I say more about myself and my plans in this blog? I think not. I've seen that big blogs translates to few messages or even reads. Also, with the new GTP system in place on GT, it's more rewarding to break up big blogs into smaller ones (actually, it probably would have been more rewarding during the GTD era, too, though I really wanted to compete with everyone in the thumbs per blog race... now, it all seems pointless, not because I don't get GTD for thumbs anymore - well, actually, maybe that too -, but because it takes too much of my time, mood and other resources and gives lesser and lesser reads and comments in return - in short, it's just not worth it, and this is something that I learned during my exile). So, I'm pulling the USB plug of my keyboard from my PC right here, before I go on forever as my ramblings tend to go.
In my next blogs, I'll discuss about (in no real order):
[*] My spanking new PC
[*] My new life as a student
[*] GT and the new GTP system
So don't you dare forget about me, m'kay?
PS: Has anyone noticed (in my writing $tyle) that I'm a bit different than I was before (a bit more serious than the joking a lot type I was before). I guess I've matured by much and changed some of my naive perceptions since confronting with the trials of living on your own (though, honestly, I think I only awakened my mature self, as I was pretty mature before too, only that I didn't want to really act like that and lose my childish self - don't worry, I still retain that childish part of me, even now). More on that when I talk about my life as a student.
Hope you had a nice read!

Yeah, exactly! I wanted people to forget about me, especially the feds! They know I know too much!
Yeah, you do have a point there, and I actually came to that conclusion long before we had those IM sessions. Still, IM has its advantages of not having to wait for responses and actually talking real-time (in which you see another side of someone's personality than turn-based chat, because he doesn't have the time to correct himself and hide stuff later deemed as bad).
It's not really a win-win. It actually depends on the circumstance. If the guy you're talking to doesn't respond much to your PMs, then messenger is the way to force him out of his laziness.
Haha, yeah, I know what you mean about burning. I've had 4th degree burns! I didn't put the title "Rebirth of a Phoenix" for nothing!
Hehe, you always learn something from me, eh? Funny thing is, in my language "sisi" (which reads exactly like "sisy") means "crazy" (as in mentally-ill crazy).
If I think about it more, Sisyphus actually sounds like a cat name, especially with the "phus" at the end.
"...Heeere, Sisyphus!"
Thanks! Glad you're still around and commented.
PS: I might be available for IM chat 2 hours from now.

Lol keep the feds away.
I actually prefer to write emails and such sometimes if I've got a lot to say, where as IM, atleast for my is so short hand it's not even funny. Surely you've noticed the shortness of my replies on IM If you could read some of my message sessions 85% of them would be "Yeah" "Nah" "mmmK" and "Cha" I guess I just treat IM like the phone, a device to get a short confirmation message across with. Where as something like this, I've got time to read, think about what one has writtin reply and even get sparks of ideas of random crap that I may want to discuss and simply add it where as in an IM it would be something like "OH Totally random topic change - this!" It's just awkward lol. Now that I think of it tho, depending on whom I'm talking to (sometimes) I'm more like my messages when using verbal communication. I love talking loads of random
LOL It so does sound like a cat name. But those two meanings it has now (after your explanation) sound like they both fit! Just think about it!
LOL, see thats the thing eh? You say you might be able to chat 2hrs from your message and I would of no doubt been at work (The timezones on gs confuse me but... I think I'm right) and here it is the next day before I read your message

My Friends

I believe being somewhat active in this realm can be easier than the real time action you have to partake in with something like a IM program. This way you can converse when it's best for you and friends will converse back when they can. It's a win win. I'm just now easing back into the unions thing, taking it slow - hoping not to burn out from the experience as I've done in the past. You generally know what I've been up to
Heh, nice to know a new word. "Sisyphus"
