All good things...
I hope everyone who deserves their trophy gets one. Other than that I could just take it or leave it. I'd love to be one of those crowd who thinks that being nominated is an honor unto itself, and I used to believe that, but now I just think it's naiveté. If that were the case, people who are nominated but don't win would get some kind of consolation prize. Kind of like Oscar nominated actors get semi-decent scripts delivered to their door. This, however, doesn't happen. I know that considering my nomination and subsequent loss this year this paragraph is more than a little ironic, but I assure you it comes from a different place than that. Even without a trophy my mom still thinks I'm cool.
A lot of people frustrated me this year when it came to the awards. The usual argumentative kids who think shouting over you means they're making a valid point. Ah, teenagers. Of course, worse than that is the jaded crowd. The ones who sit back with their arms crossed and feel free to endlessly reiterate their opinion on how stupid you're being for "omg getting wurked up over teh internetz" and how much you apparently entertain them. Yes yes, you're so clever. And it seems that cleverness comes from your inability to be surprised by anything except, strangely enough, your own cleverness. A perpetual motion humor machine is you. Keep those Family Guy-inspired jokes coming, you GOD you.
Long story short, the forum awards did the same thing for me this year that they did the last. Reminded me how bloody many people in the MTGS community I do not like. Thank god for the "vocal minority" of people I do like and their magical powers of distraction or else I might not be a presence here. Of course, whether or not I AM a presence here is evidently determined by a shadowy cabal of people I've never met or interacted with who make it a point not to frequent the places where I hang out. It's like the Illuminati only with horrible acne and an attraction to Akroma that can only be described as bestial.
Maybe if I got a bondage girl banner and made ignorant comments about gender identity, I too could be a popular kid.

If you'll excuse me, I have to get back to circling the skies for a sad carcass to pick at.

Posted Dec 1, 2007But still, I would rather be part of the problem than be some sort of wise-cracking buzzard at the sidelines.
