It's been 3,5 years since I turned into a recluse. In those years I quit High Shool, lost all my friends, and found 4chan.

I can't believe how almost 4 years of nothing went this fast, I've done nothing at all, all these years, just been sleeping, surfing and walking outside in the parks.

This is actually a pretty common thing, I think.

I still have a lot of people from high school (I actually talked to people every now and then) on my IM, but I never write to 98% of them and they never write to me.

I got a text message from my best friend for the first time in what I estimate to be two weeks today.

This is the same case for me. After I left school I became a pretty rare occurrence that I would talk to any of my old friends. Every few month's one of them would attempt to talk to me through IM, but neither us could keep the conversation going beyond 'how are you' and 'what are you up to?'

And for some odd reason, I'm not all that bothered about it at all.

I've been jobless for a year, haven't talked to my 'friends' in about 6 months, and my mother is worried that there's something wrong with me. I'm wondering if I can go to psychiatrist and see if I have something that will put me on welfare; not only would that get me cash, but my parents wouldn't bring up work or college anytime soon.

The manga follows the novel a lot closer than the anime did, and the anime is more like 'loosely based on' the novel rather than the anime version of it.

The drugs were barely mentioned, and only right in the beginning.

After that, up until later (near the end when things start getting...really fucking weird) they arent mentioned again, and even then it's only used as a way to progress the story - which he could have used something else to do so just the same, so I don't think it has any bad effect on the story even if you can't relate to that part of Satou.

The manga and (moreso) the novel version of Satou is a lot more 'realistic' compared to the anime one - mostly because it doesn't have so much of that overtone of dark comedy to it.

The anime, to a lot of people, is XDDDD EPIC LULZ. And even people who can relate still find some of it amusing, be it due to relating or other reasons. The novel has the same thing, but is a lot more serious and dark in comparison. I can't imagine anyone reading it as a 'comedy', yet the anime is watched by many (including my own brother) as a hilarious comedy series.

It's probably that way due to whats-his-fucking-name writing from his own experience of being a hikki and all that, while the anime and manga are toned down to appeal to a greater audience due to money and ratings reasons.

Point being, yeah the different versions of Satou are a lot different, but they all get the same shit across.

You guys should watch Rent. At first glance a story about friends in New York in the 90s who have AIDs/HIV doesn't seem relevant but the message about living no day but today because life is very short is. Not to mention Roger who, like Anon, tries to cut himself off from emotions and from life but finally takes a chance and is able to love again. Or Mark who is often an outsider. Plus there's a fabulous trap and lesbians.

Seriously, go see Rent. The play if you can, if not the play on DVD or the movie. It didn't change my life but it gave me hope.

Oddly fitting.
We linger here, as scraps of the real board fall into our laps. We discuss and machinate amongst ourselves, but the material realm can't hear us.
Sometimes, some of us take on a form of flesh and crawl up to the other side, just to mess with their minds.

What am I saying? When did the ghost side, the realm of peace and quiet, turn into some ghastly hellish plane? I blame that imp, meru, demoniacal and irrational, not unlike the tormenting sprites that haunt travelers, guiding them towards their doom. Misdirecting and confusing, it will take you off your path and make you wonder if there's a god and why does it hate you so.
