“It always seems impossible until it is done”

Late nights are just too comfy.

This thread has literally just become me posting my current thought.

In fact, these posts would fit better in the "post your current thought" thread than 90% of the posts that actually are there.

It's basically just the casual chat thread, rather than really about posting what you're thinking about right at that moment.

That's not a criticism, just an observation.

gotta make do with what we have

From reading some of the old instalments of that thread, I think it had left its stated purpose by about the second or third thread anyway.

getting up piss early is still very nice, but it can never beat staying up until 4

A casual chat thread is probably more good for the community than a thread full of disjointed passing thoughts, anyway.

I've seen text/imageboards that are literally nothing but casual chatting of that sort.

There don't seem to be as many cute little messageboard communities as there were...

And the ones that are still here, tend to not have the same feeling about them any more.

Sic transit, and all that, I guess.

Maybe it's just my imagination.

Perhaps they are out there, but I just haven't kept up with the new ones.

That's very possible.

Perhaps there are actually really nice little online communities in places I wouldn't expect, or would never check.

Who knows, maybe there's a perfect little subreddit that I'd enjoy and feel right at home in?

But I'll never know, because I simply don't go there.

Gosh, it's gotten noticeably darker outside since I started posting.

There's always something melancholy about the sky at dusk...

The warm glow of sunlight is ebbing away, but the stars haven't yet come out.

And there's the realisation that the day is ending, and you have less and less time remaining to do anything.

Once it's actually dark, different times all look the same, it's just the clock that changes.

So, I guess sunset is the biggest visual indication of the day ending.

I missed my chance to go for a walk while it was still light...

Well, there's always tomorrow.

There's still today, if I want.

I didn't go for a walk yesterday, so I probably should.

For quite a while, I was in the habit of going for a walk every day.

In fact, my commute to work used to be walking for half an hour each way through meadows and parkland.

It sucked in winter, as everything was damp and muddy, but it was lovely in summer.

Are you supposed to capitalise the names of seasons?

I can never remember.

I feel like you should, because you capitalise the names of months, weekdays, etc.

But I have a feeling I looked it up and you actually aren't supposed to...

Yeah, I just looked it up now, and I was right.

I wonder why?

I guess you don't capitalise times of day, like dawn or dusk.

But then why do we capitalise the names of months, and days of the week?

Weird.

I've been going a while, now...

I think almost all of the last eighty posts were mine.

Maybe I'll try and get us to >>800 and then give it a rest.

Remember the previous versions of this thread?

Gosh, there were some really fun ones.

I think the >>700 on the 7000th one was my favourite.

There were plenty of fun moments in the others too, though.

I should go back and reread those.

I guess now's the time for it, right?

Just go back and marathon the last few threads, as celebration.

I mean "now" as in today or tomorrow, not as in right now.

I wonder if anyone is actually reading this.

If so, sorry for being so boring.

There must be a thousand more interesting things I could be posting about right now.

Uh...

Something interesting, something interesting...

Nothing really happens in my life any more.

I guess I've gotten into drawing a little recently? That's something.

I pretty much only do line art.

(Is that the right term?)

I'm also extremely colourblind, so I don't really like working with colours.

I've tried before, and I just end up painting the sky lilac or something.

That can be nice, but may also not be what I was going for.

I'd rather have more control over the art I make.

I should do more drawing.

Until now, I've almost always done drawing from references.

It's probably time I branched out into doing stuff from my imagination.

I've done it once or twice, and the results have been pretty good.

I never really learned perspective or anatomy stuff, I just have an eye for what looks right and what doesn't.

Perhaps I should look into those more seriously before trying anything.

Or perhaps not. The best way to learn is by doing, and all that.

I've had a few ideas of things I'd like to draw.

I guess I just need to sit down and actually do it.

Perhaps I'll try and do something tonight.

Perhaps not, I did have other plans for tonight...

Eh, whatever.

Wow, I really am just cranking these posts out, huh.

I feel like I should do/say something special for the big numbers, like >>777, given that that's kind of the whole point of this thread.

I don't know what, though.

And I've usually already thought of what I'm about to post next when I realise I'm about to get to one of them.

Okay, well now's my chance.

>>800 is coming up in just a few posts.

I should decide in advance what I'm going to post then.

(Assuming someone else doesn't steal it from under me).

Maybe just "800 GET"?

Nah, way too boring.

I'll do it!

Maybe something in the vein of previous big numbers?

Funny captcha

Like, some form of Gomez?

I mean, I could just stop posting at >>799 and let someone else do it.

On-schedule Gomez?

Maybe I should? I've only got eight posts left (seven after this one) and still have no idea what to post.

Maybe I'm overthinking this.

It should be something spontaneous, sincere, and unplanned.

I can do that, right?

Well I guess not, if I just spent twenty posts trying to plan it and make it as unspontaneous as possible.

Oh no, it's right here!

Fuck.
