Ahhh! TOO MUCH!

[spritechan]

I just feel like I have too much to do and no time to do it!

Fage (fa-yeh) yogurt really is as good as they say. It tastes lightly like cream cheese, vs the strong sour cream taste of most plain yogurts. And it's thick, almost fluffy, vs regular yogurt's terrifying desire to separate into liquidy goo. Now my question is: do I eat low fat, no fat, or full fat? I know leaving natural ingredients is good for you (and if you must drink milk it should be n low amounts and full-fat, thankfully I don't like milk), but the full-fat version of this gives you 80-percent of your daily saturated fat intake D: The ingredients for my single-cup-to-test-it-out-cause-it's-really-expensive are grade A pasteurized skim milk, and live active yogurt cultures (L. bulgaricus, S. Thermophilius). That's it. So I assume the difference is in the milk? Or should I eat soy yogurt. Yogurt is important to me right now because a serving is very filling for me, and because I need good vageeny health. I know the yeasty stuff won't affect my UTI problems, but I like to think a healthy vagina is a happy vagina either way :P

I feel like there's so much I need to do on TEH INTARWEBS lately. So much replying and reading and finding cute things and emails and Facebook and Tumblr and blogs and ahhhhh! I feel like if I didn't have this time at work to take care of it all, I'd never be able to keep up! And I have my knitting to do and things to watch!

Speaking of watch, Steve and I started a new series on Netflix called Noein. It reminds me a LOT of Shakugan no Shana. It's only one season as far as I can tell, so it's a nice short anime we watch when we get a chance. We were both skeptical at first because the art is kinda... bleh... sometimes, and they were weird about 3D and apparently only had a budget to make computerized houses. Haha. But when the Shakugan no Shana feel kicked in, I started to really like it. One of the main characters is the same voice actor for Simone from Gurren Lagann, and they're practically the same character in emotions and traits. SO MUCH ANGST AND SELF-DOUBT XD

I'm almost done with one side of Joe Waid's scarf. The symbol is a bit more than halfway done and I intend on finishing it tonight, and hope to have the whole scarf done and posted by the end of the week! Next is thinking of what fun thing to do on his birthday besides give him gifts!

Steve and I did recruit-a-friend not this past friday, but the one before that, and we already hit level 60 on Sunday XD It levels you SO fast! But because of that, we didn't spend enough time in each area and therefore have shitty gear. As a current druid it's okay because healing is ridiculously easy compared to 2 years ago as a healy druid, but I hear that they're being nerfed. Woo! A challenge! :D Steve turned COMPLETELY into exactly what he said he'd never ever do: be a WoW kid. He loves it. But he loves it like I love it: because of the play time with each other, and our friends. Not because raids run yo life and are SRS  BZNS. He's so funny sometimes in instances because he doesn't understand why people are in such a hurry. He's also wary because of my horrible memorie of WoW + Dan, and Dan obsessing and playing it every free moment and ignoring me and life in general. Which is true, I am very tightly wound about the subject sometimes, but I've been working on not letting the past affect my present in that regard. Just because there are a lot of douchebags out there who love WoW more than you doesn't mean it's going to happen to everyone.

Oh, and I guess Dan texted me the other week, asking how the kitties were. I went into a rage for a moment and almost texted him back some violent poison, but then I realized that text-bitching at him to never talk to me is either passive-aggressive, pointless, or both. So I just ignored it. But I stewed about it off and on for a few days. What nerve, being such a dickhead and then thinking you can wait a couple months and text me like nothing happened. FUCK YOU.

I think the interweb maintenance goes both ways--some days, it's like it's overwhelming and all you can think is, "Oh my god. I have to stop being so involved online. D=" And other times, especially when shit his the fan, it's like "Thank god for all these people I have online, and in person. I feel better."

Plus, it's kind of neat to have things to do online, or on the computer. It's when you have nothing to do online that bad things happen. O_O But it's good to have a busy life, as long as most of it's fun things, right?

But, every time when it gets really busy, I think of the Hyperbole and a Half entry where she's talking about why she'll never be an adult, and her inbox has 1999 new e-mails or something, and it says something like: "HAHA YOU'LL NEVER BEAT ME!" XDDD

It's really difficult to try and move on from putting someone else's decisions on a new person--I mean, it's pretty well established that Steve is NOT Dan, and I think that it'll be good for you to see Steve playing something like WoW and still being able to focus on you. And hey, I know I'm proud for you letting it go enough to let Steve get into WoW and not being the bitchy girlfriend about it. =D

(PS--Stupid Dan. "How're the kids, honey sweetie pie?" "Shut up." "God, you're such a bitch toooo meeeeeeeeee *whine whine*")

[miss-ljv.livejournal.com]

You're soooo right! I whine about being busy but it's so much worse not having anything to do! XD

I read the "Am Adult" and "Sneaky Hate Spiral" at least every couple weeks. They are definitely the best, and describe my life so well! I love all the little individual boxes. The bee: "This is my house now! If you try to get me out I'll sting you! LOL!" For the record, I'm not afraid of bees, but I like that one.

Steve was aware of my aversion to computer-themed games as a result of Dan, because I had an internal meltdown when he asked if he could use my computer when Starcraft 2 came out. It's now a silly joke between us, because I had such an intense, uncontrollable reaction that he wasn't expecting. It was seriously like a PTSD flashback D: But we worked it out! He insists he only likes to play his character because we play together. He likes to play, but we agreed to level as a team, whereas Pat did recruit-a-friend with Nick instead of Faith (he's such a jerk without even trying!), so Faith's all far behind and Joe Waid feels bad and is thinking of helping her get her own account (she shares her brother's). Steve is making sure not to be like that, and we play "cutie WoW," and we always play together, unless it's like, for a profession leveling or something.

AND I KNOW WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH HIM? He's such a manipulative whiner. gtfo my life. Like, he blocked me on Facebook but thinks he can contact me when it pleases him? Nooooo.

Nothing to do on the internet leads to things like LOLZ cats or whatnot, and that way is darkness (without the cookies).

I'm The Friend Who Has No Fear Of Bees that's great to have in a group of scaredy cat girls who are all fleeing wildly from the bee(s). I will get the bee away, and help calm people down, without just dismissing the fear as silly. But, my lack of fear comes from the fact that the first time I was stung, I was about 3-4, and it stung right next to my lower eyelid where you would now apply eyeliner. After that I was like, "well, if that's the worst they can do...I can take 'em. \=" XD

I have some issues from my ex-friend-and-best-friend Travis when it comes to Brian because not only do they sort of have similar features, but they sound EXACTLY the same on the phone, and even when Brian just says certain things or does certain things, I'm like in a half-anxiety attack because it's TRAVIS!! AAAHHH! RUN!!! But, I calm down. It's just that those memories can be really powerful, and the reactions you can have to them are no joke at the time. D= Later though, hilarity ensues. XD

Milly's ex-boyfriend Ryan was/is the same way. They also had a cat together, and he'd try to get into her emotional space by doing things like talk about her (Milly had to leave the cat with him for many reasons, but she also did the whole, "I don't want him to be lonely...." until later on, when the proper anger kicked in, when it's now like, I HOPE HE'S SO FUCKING LONELY HE'S THINKING OF GETTING A REAL DOLL!!!). I hate manipulative ex-boyfriends. And ex-girlfriends. -_-

[miss-ljv.livejournal.com]

I am too! Only... it's with Scaredy Cat BOYS. XD Always with any bug - spider, beetle, bee. I give them some crap about it because that's what we always do. I've never been stung by a bee. At least, I don't think so. I'm not reckless, and I hate killing any bug (except ants), so I try to shoo them before I have to kill them.

AHAHAHA YESSS REAL DOLLS!! XDDDD Dan probably has one O_O Wouldn't it be creepy if you found out you had an ex with a Real Doll that looked like you?

[silver-tiamat.livejournal.com]

See, that's the reason why Brian is "scared" of bees--he's never been stung, so he doesn't know if he's allergic or not. I understand that fear--I've seen someone who WAS allergic to bees, and how paranoid they were about getting stung and not getting to their Epi pen within the 10 seconds they'd have before their throat closed. O_O

I don't enjoy killing bugs, but I won't hesitate when they're in my territory. After all, they'd do the same to me if they could. But, when I'm in THEIR territory, I usually tread a bit lighter, and try not to kill anything I don't "need" to, since I'm in their space.

None of my exes are anywhere wealthy enough to afford even a basic Real Doll, let alone a custom made one. u_u Thank god. And by the time they are that wealthy, they'll be able to buy real people! =D

[miss-ljv.livejournal.com]

In order to be allergic to bees, you need to be introduced to their venom at least once prior, in order to develop the T cells that make you allergic (aka "Heyyy that's dangerous and evil, NEXT TIME we'll be ready to FREAK THE FUCK OUT!!! Yay!"). So he can get stung once, and THEN worry about it the second time XD Though I hear actually a small percentage of people are allergic to bees (severely, anyway). Steve's gotten stung a few times, and isn't scared of bees simply because they;re BEES and they sting, but because he's afraid of all creepy-crawlies. It's adorable.

Lol, Dan might be wealthy enough for a real doll, and I wouldn't put it past him XD

[silver-tiamat.livejournal.com]

Well, he had one of those sudden allergy attacks to something they were never exactly sure what it was, but it landed him in the hospital. So, he's a bit paranoid with certain things like allergies he MIGHT have but doesn't know. I'm one of those people who has extremely rare and bizarre allergies, but I'm not allergic to any common things. (The two known substances that I'm allergic to are a type of Japanese cactus when pressed into an oil, and the concentration of soap used to clean the wetsuits in the summer on Catalina island, but only on the back of my neck. Yup. That's how I roll.)

Oh my god. I mean, a standard doll costs at the minimum $5,000. From what I've gathered, a custom doll starts at like $10,000. If he's got that kind of dough, then his bitching about buying you a new WoW bit so you can play it because he stole your character takes on a whole new level of bastardness.

[miss-ljv.livejournal.com]

Aww! I don't seem to have any sort of allergies, so I'm like the teenager that thinks she's invincible. :P

I swear he can, he has nothing to spend all the money on that he makes working at Toshiba besides school, which the ass doesn't even need loans for, and it's like $16,000/year. >:O That's why I got sooo mad about the WoW thing.

[namidanotsuki.livejournal.com]

I'm actually glad both my husband and I play WOW. I don't even want to imagine how pissed off I'd be if he played and I couldn't stand to play. I know I'd win out over the game, but it's nice that we can avoid the whole conflict by both playing.

Our raid leader has recently become a bit of a doucher. He's taken to embarrassing people openly in raid with an add on that tracks fight mechanic errors (i.e. standing in fire). I was kind of okay with it because I hate baddies who try raid. Maybe if they realize they're bad they'll either get good or quit. Srsly though... we allow casuals. We don't force people to raid. It allows us to boot morons from raids without having to kick them from the guild. They usually leave anyway, though, in complete denial of their badness.

I just don't like that he's been pushing a competitive, meter padding trend. I understand why he thinks it's useful, but it's just making things worse. Personally, I dislike it because it makes me a mean person. I like being in a supporting role and working as part of a group because I'm vicious when made to compete. That's bad because I like most of the people in my guild and I don't want to upset them with my latent competitive tendencies. But, he keeps pushing it...

Btw, what did you bf roll?

[miss-ljv.livejournal.com]

My old guild was very serious about raiding (not QUITE '50 dkp minus' caliber, but sometimes could be close. It didn't help our main raid leader sounded like Charles Finster from Rugrats), but I wasn't a raider. I didn't need to be since Dan was so into raiding. I could just watch him play if I wanted to (I definitely didn't want to spend all that time alone on WoW so I had nothing else to do most of the time). I understand that there needs to be work involved in making sure things go smoothly, but shaming in front of the whole group is, in my opinion, ineffective no matter what the situation. I much prefer a whisper conversation, or maybe a time when someone could offer pointers. A meter that tracks raid errors should be used more for, "Hey Hidari, you're standing in fire" - that was always helpful for me because I get really caught up focusing completely on my heals. But embarrassing people for being human sounds just plain assholish. On the other hand, I can't STAND when morons think they're so great and everyone else is wrong. Especially as a healer when the DPS always dies because they're being stupid, and then tries to yell at me as if I was supposed to be managing their threat level for them. People don't understand that they shouldn't bite the hand that feeds them.

My boyfriend rolled a rogue. We're both trolls. ^_^ My original toon was a tauren druid, and my current's a troll druid. I also have an arcane mage in the lower levels.

[namidanotsuki.livejournal.com]

It basically says " fails at ". It's been strangely effective. We actually haven't had anyone rage quit over it yet. It seems to have caused a competition to see who fails the least. I wasn't really expecting that.

My first toon ever was a rogue. I didn't enjoy it. I have an aversion to having to touch the mob. Most of the mobs in wow look like they might smell or be drooly.

[namidanotsuki.livejournal.com]

"(raider name) fails at (fight mechanic)" sorry, LJ thought that the text in the previous entry was a command.

[miss-ljv.livejournal.com]

That's mean! Haha. I think in my group it'd be kinda funny, but in a serious raid I can see how it'd be like *wanna hide under a rock*

He really enjoys being a rogue. I prefer to sit back - I'm really bad at fights that require you to run around a target and touch them!
