So many random things to write about, so little time.
First, the reason I only have a little time is because it's 3:20 in the morning and I have to get up around 7 tomorrow. I'm going on a trip to Six Flags Darien Lake! So at least I'm waking up for something worth the effort. I'm leaving for 3 days.. so I figured I'd write a quick journal entry in here because right before logging off I realized how neglectful I am to this thing. I will miss the 4S while I'm gone but it's not like I'll really miss anything in particular.. no offense to my good ol' forum buddies but we need to get that forum kickin' again! I miss the good days of venturing into the forum late at night to find that there were several different interesting things to talk about and share.
My solution: get to work. I'm starting an art section sometime before this weekend hits. Maybe that will somehow get things moving again. I was hoping we'd be able to start a story/poetry/writing section as well. A great 4SMod once described rabid Silent Hill fans perfectly by saying: "people who frequent an internet forum primarily concerned with sex, demons, and mental instability." I think he hit it on the head with that one, (thank-you Sarchasm for the quote) and I haven't seen much of any of that lately! Lol, I assume most people wouldn't find that a bad thing. But I'll be damned if I have to sit there and watch the 4S forum fall into the desperate pick-me-up topics that so many other forums fall prey to. Topics such as "If Maria and Eileen got into a cat-fight, who would win?" or "Who's the hottest SH chara?!!" ..and so forth.
Anyways.. I've been replaying the first Silent Hill for the past few days, and I'm as drawn in as the first time I played it. I haven't played it for so long! It's truly terrifying. My goal this summer is to replay all 4 SH's and record every mention or hint of Pyramid Head/Valtiel. They're two of the most amazing characters out there in my opinon, and I've heard many rumours stating that they're mentioned several times throughout all of the games. I want to see all of these things for myself. Yes.. I realize after this paragraph that I am a complete nerd.. but hey, I think it's going to be fun. Lol
Well.. that's it for now. It's thanks to Silent Hill that I'm almost dreading this trip to an amusment park tomorrow. Not only that, but I'm staying there for three days.. and night time will consist of sleeping at a campsite. How wonderful. At least I'll be a source of entertainment to all of the children there.. I don't think it's often they get to see someone more terrified of the merry-go-round then of the roller coasters, or anything else for that matter. And if anyone wearing a bunny costume even comes close to me.. I'm beating them to death with a stick.

But I blame Konami, I mean they have SH5 already in production (if not then what are they doing) for the Next Generation consoles and they are not giving us even a teaser or something to talk about or speculate, at least the movie is coming out soon so that would be something...
Anyway hope you have fun where you are, I wish I had time for camping or somebody to go with, or money or... I will leave it at that...

As for the 4S, I wouldn't lose too much sleep over it. We've hit something of a roadblock, yes, but it'll be torn down and done away with before you know it. And no, we won't turn into those bottom-of-the-barrel fans whose forum wells have run so dry that they resort to crafting topics like the ones you mentioned. Like a suspended engine, all 4S needs is a jump-start and maybe a spray of water and it'll be up and running again, ready to commit the next act of vehicular manslaughter as some random fella is crossing the street.
Btw, word on the block is that Robbie's got it in for you. If I were in your shoes, I'd wear a few extra layers of padding so that whatever weapon he's brandishing at the time won't puncture any vital organs.
