Holy Shit It's a Post

[talkingsoup]

THIS IS AN UPDATE.

Yes I am alive. The reason for my lack of posting is uh. Laziness and post-graduation now what/lawl future/lawl real life/fuck it I'm gonna sit on my ass for a few months ness that is now graaaadually wearing off. Yup. Mostly because I haven't been writing or doing anything productive this entire time and it's catching up to me in the form of OH GOD MY WORTHLESS EXISTEEEEENCE.

It's almost three AM, which explains this incoherence.

ANYWAY. It is almost Christmahanukwanzaayule again. Hooray! I have no money with which to buy presents for people. Boo! I'm relying at this point on tiny things that are cheap but awesome. Which reminds me, HEY, CMAK AKA kuribohcoast I NEED YOUR ADDRESSSSSSSS or you won't get presents and I will be sad ):

Oh, another reason for my lack of posting? I am now officially a WoWfag. Yeah. Inorite? Well, it's fun, when it works and when the patches update alright which they're not right now, and I'm not addicted (yet) so. It's sort of the same as RP in its addictive qualities, however, in terms of like "As soon as I finish this tag" which in WoW's case is "As soon as I finish this quest!"

But at the very least I think I'm ready to make a concerted effort not only to just generally write more but to really get to work on the edits/rewrites for Motley Crew. If not Pentagram as well. But, lol, for those of you who have known me awhile, you know how well my declarations of "I'M GONNA DO IT THIS TIME" go, so we'll see. At least I have a sort of method this time for keeping myself working on the edits. Plus new ideas keep springing up. Now if only I could buckle down and actually start either North or Jin or something...

I also need to finish my resume WHICH I HAVE BEEN WORKING ON SINCE AUGUST. Laziness and an unwillingness to enter the real world much?

Currently we have all just gotten back from Darkover con (which was awesome), we had our own Thanksgiving at home (I made Cornish game hens and didn't set anything on fire!), Julie has a book deal for her co-authorship with Tammy for the Tortallverse (Cara's in on it too), Pat still has his steady job and I'm...still at Michaels.

*sigh*

Also as of today the kitten is sick. Pogo has gotten a cold like this pretty consistently around this time so hopefully it's nothing serious. If she's still sick in a few days/she gets worse we're taking her to the vet, pet health program or not.

Oh and the second season of Darker than BLACK is out, and is about halfway over, and is awesome. That is all.

Lol I play a troll hunter. Also, have you ever seen The Guild?

Hell yeah it's nice to be free of school, but it's also kind of scary and I've been resisting the whole oncoming future thing. And that sucks man...how can they possibly not have jobs available for teachers? (My mom actually had that problem too at the start of the school year).

Troll hunter, fun! And heck yeah, I love The Guild something fierce. This last season wasn't as great as I'd hoped, but I consider their music video the very pinnacle of comical achievement. Felicia Day is more than my hero.

Actually, I think I remember hearing that about your mom, yeah. I hear that about oncoming futures, too. Totally off-putting, the thought of the "the rest of my life" stuff that's s'posed to take place post-college. Career? Family? Heck, no, not ready to be a grown-up! But I bet its not so bad once the ball's rolling. One of those one day at a time things.

Lol, it's too bad because I'm a noob and ended up specing her badly, so I'm holding out for dual spec. And I've only seen the first season but it's so wonderful. And I love Felicia Day.

Yeah, it's...weird. I know I'm supposed to be responsible and mature, but I just don't feel it.

Aww, yeah, I remade my char several times, always got to thinking I knew what I was doing and then botched her horribly. Three years later I still don't think I can make a perfect build. So many rules and prereqs to mind!

And, I'm beginning to doubt that anyone ever feels responsible and mature. Certainly my dad still has a lot of fun acting like a kid. Maybe after ten years paying taxes, refinancing your house, and cleaning up after kids, it starts to sink in, or something.

Yeah, I looked some stuff up online. Aside from "do this this and this" it seems like the general idea is to do whatever works for you. The problem is that you're supposed to have an end result in mind, but that doesn't work for noobs, lol.

Haha, maybe it's true.
