I haven't posted here in a while...

I've mainly been busy with preparing for my final year of Secondary School, which I started yesterday.

I'll most likely be moving over to Blogger for more personal posts & general waffling, and be using DW for other stuff.

I've been making progress on my Last Leg collection, with it being around 70-75% complete.

I'm mainly looking for episodes from Series 8, 6 & 13. The rest are pretty much complete, besides the occasional missing episode. 

Hopefully, I'll be able to complete this within the next couple of months, though my chances are pretty low.

For the past 2-3 hours(?), I've been spending my time looking through both Discord & Reddit to find more resources in which I can watch The Last Leg.

Yes, I am that obsessed.

All this searching has resulted in.... nothing. Well, besides looking though the same episodes over and over again that I've already watched, I've come to the conclusion that I'll have to wait to be "invited" to one of those closed communities in order to get my fix of Last Leg content.

(I wonder if you can get addicted to a TV Programme?)

Most of my day has been spent binging my way through this:

Which seems to have only two complete series, those being series 2 & 4. The rest either have 1 or 2 episodes, except for series 1, which currently has around 5 episodes within the folder.

Whether this is due to the fact that Google Drive only allows for 15 gigabytes of storage & the amount of content exceeded that limit, or whoever created this didn't have all the episodes, we'll never know..

Maybe I'll make my own little weird archive of this show? Then there's the question on where I'll keep the files, how they'll be organized and whatnot..

For now however, I'll probably stick to watching.

P.S: I was listening to "I Want It That Way" by the Backstreet Boys while writing this and now I'm pretty sure I've gotten it stuck inside of my head for the next week....

Help.

 

I started a small archive of Adam Hills' "In Gordon Street Tonight" a couple of days ago because I was bored one day and wanted something to watch.

(If you don't know what AHIGST is, it's a talk show that was broadcast in Australia that ran from February 2011 to July 2013.)




I currently have two complete series, those being Series 1 & 3. I haven't found more than 5-6 episodes for Series 2 (which I should label as "[INCOMPLETE]" but I'm too lazy to), which is kinda disheartening. Maybe I should try looking more.

I also haven't finished watching Sugar and Spice, since it was recently made available on Amazon Prime, I might get to finishing that.. probably. But anyways..

Goodnight,

Separating yourself, from groups of people or just one person, is quite stressful.

Around a week and a half ago, I had decided to separate myself from an online community, the best way I can describe how I felt when I separated myself from that group was like ending a relationship with someone who was EXTREMELY toxic to you.

Some Background Info


I had joined that community originally because I was bored and had nothing else to really do, eventually, after a month or so of being inside of that community, I was subsequently "hired" as a moderator, which basically was just more or less spending my time seeing if people were being dicks and whatnot.

After around several months of doing the same thing, over and over again, I was able to work my way up the ranks of this community, eventually being able to "lead" (in quotation marks because I wasn't actually in a real job), basically teaching people how to do this VERY boring job inside of an online community (sad, I know.).

I had already gotten into some "controversy" because I hadn't found someone who I felt was suitable enough to "co-lead" this large(ish) group of people, which eventually lead to me being called into a meeting and flat out told that if I couldn't find anyone within the next 4 days, I would be fired from my position, although before they had told me that, they were flat out calling me names and saying absolute, utter bullshit about me. Considering most of this community was filled with people varying from the ages of 15-20, it was honestly quite disturbing to see them act like 5-year-olds.

After that "meeting" had taken place, my motivation, unsurprisingly, dropped completely. I was essentially doing my own little one-man "strike", while it was a petty move, considering what had just taken place, I thought it was completely justified.

I more or less stopped caring after a while, with my motivation going up and down (and the fact that I probably wasn't going to waste more time on a silly community that cared fuck all about its people), I had decided to take a break, for my own sanity. This then resulted in me being removed from my position within that community entirely, without any real warning.

Upon me writing all of this down, I have realized three things:

1. That things are temporary, change happens all the time, I shouldn't need to worry so much about change.


2. That I did have an unhealthy relationship with that community, and while I should've gotten out by my own will, I didn't because I really didn't want to separate myself from that community.


3. That healing takes time. You won't feel all happy and dandy in the beginning, and that doesn't make you any weaker.

(While I do miss the several actually fun & nice people in that community, the negatives vastly outweigh the positives.)


tl;dr - Don't get yourself into shitty communities. Try finding nice ones.
