I've fallen off the Wagon

...well at least the front page! Stupidly I told myself I wouldn't do that which is daft really considering that the more people get diaries and update them regularly the more entries I'd have to write inorder to keep up. In the future, we can't all be on the front page I guess but when theres only 2 pages total, its not such a hard target to live up to ;-)

I could argue its quality not quantity, something that's certainly true of the 2nd page of this forum (where there are some fantastic one entry role play/short story style threads) If you've never ventured onto page 2 I encourage you to take a look and even better PM the authors to get them to write more! I'll probably write more about diaries another day as seeing the different ways in which a variety of people, from newbies to ubers and old timers, use them is in itself a pretty interesting subject. I wonder how many of us ever thought we'd be writing about our lives, a long time hence forth on a planet far far away? ;-)

So, to be a little more realistic, my recent lack of diary entries is in fact more or less analogous to the lack of time I've actually spent on Calypso of late and thats it. When you're entire life on a planet consists of waking up, taking short strolls around some of the larger cities and Ports, noting the steadily declining population or deficiency of things you want to buy and occasionally saying "Hello" to fellow soc mates there really is very little to write home about. Once again, due to the general populace of wingers we see these days, it's important to understand that this isn't a complaint, I'm mearly stating facts.

At the end of the day you see, this diary is supposed to be about Calypso. Calypso, Entropia and all things related so if I have nothing to say (sheepishly looks for some content in "this" entry) on the subject and instead write about what I did in my holidays, thats really quite insulting to the kind folk who run this forum. I'd be better off just getting a live journal.

However, if your looking for a reason not to watch a film, reading the book is a pretty neat alternative and I have to say, a good part my absence on Calypso of late is due to my increased interest, instead, in PENpal. To be honest, I'm just loving working on my little project. Talking to people, finding stuff out, reading around and learning new things, it's just great. I'm afraid, I really still can't say much more about it at this time cause, to be honest, I don't really know yet myself. I think the thing that enthuses me most though, is the idea that I might one day actually contribute something back to the PE community. I wonder how many more people have reached such a feeling...
