I'm so tired. WoW is making me miserable. The BF is having a string of shitty RNG luck and it makes me feel sour about my mounts and pets and achievements; it seems like every neat thing in the game is down to sheer dumb luck, you either get it or you don't or it gets ninja'd or killed or you miss it. In hindsight it seems completely unfair to have me farming foxes in Tol Barad for a week now, and the guy who AFK'd through half of TB kills the fox by the graveyard and gets one, but I guess that's 'fair' for them, and by fair I mean 'random as hell'.

He thinks there should be a 'luck' stat. I'm reminded of the gold coin buffs from the Dalaran fountain. Something like that for certain pets/mounts would be nice. Not a guaranteed drop, but a boost in drop rate that comes from whatever you're farming - like a short-lived turtle bait in fishing pools, etc. I guess I'm still just bitter, though.

Also my pride and joy basically got called boring today, which sort of hurts. I can't say I didn't appreciate the criticism, but I think there's a difference between an overdone anti-sue and someone who just isn't a hero...or a villain. If there's something so wrong about playing the average joe nameless mercenary #114(who actually has a name, and a family, but no one thinks about that!), then I guess I'll be content with 'never getting roleplay'.

Also I'm sick of being steamrollered by warlocks in full heirlooms with a posse of four rogues. Kind of overkill for a single kitty.

I just now realized the amount of dust today in my room. Did a bit of vacuuming, but now I realize how much is behind the furniture. Thankfully, my mom has agreed to clean out the one park of the room I'm dreading and toss out anything she finds. I prefer not to see them as I can be a pack rat. I want to get rid of two bigger things anyways. >>; I'm going to need to a lot of vacuum bags now. Freaking dirt road.

I cannot STAND it when my partner is jealous sometimes of the friends I have. I can't help it that I get along with guys more than girls, that's just the way I've always been. Yeah, some of them are a bit flirtatious and such but surely my partner should only worry when I RECIPROCATE. -.-

Fuck sake.

I'm in such a foul mood now.

[Novikova]

It drives me nuts when girls say 'Oh I just get along with guys better because girls are so catty and bitchy'. Hmm. Wait.
You also explained to us that's why you have no female friends, teehee!

Aah, the joys of internalized misogyny. Seriously? I mean, I get you want to be geeky queen bee or want to have loads of male friends at your beck and call. Whatever. If that's what makes you happy...

You wore a freaking Catholic schoolgirl costume to a LARP. Then commented on how slutty someone's sundress was.

Seriously? SERIOUS-FREAKINGLY? First, drop the word slut from your vocab. Men and women should both be allowed to get their groove on as their belief system dictates. Second, there's this pot? He was a jerk for calling a kettle black. If you wear a scant outfit, don't point at others and scream SKANKZILLA!

Because that's seriously uncool. And you would think with the healthy pool of girls of varying ages and life experiences, surely not all of us are catty and 'bitchy'? Or all of the girls at work? Except to you. Because you're so awesome and gorgeous that we just can't staaaaaand your presence. Hey wait. There's a common denominator here.

It's you.

It starts to drive me nuts how the other illustration intern who works on the desk behind me starts banging his knuckles on the wooden desk every few minutes to the tact of the music he listens to (soppy 80's noone loves me songs). And because he does it so unconsciously, he's not likely to stop even if I ask him to. But I don't want to ask him. I guess I just have to turn my music up louder. But I can still hear it. One day I'll just start screaming.

I have 3 things to rant about atm.

First.
Spring I HATE you make up your god damn mind and stick to that weather don't change 5 times in one day. Do you know how much that makes my rib cage hurt? It makes it hurt like all hell and it's very hard to draw when it feels like a chestburster is trying to come out.

2nd.
To the hunter that told me to change my pets name. SHUT THE HELL UP. My pets name is not rude or anything so don't tell me to change it. So you don't like it so what? Would you like me to tell you your pets name is shit and you should change it becouse I don't like it?

3rd.
A old lady was walking her dog today and she let it run in my garden. My cat gave it a bat to the nose to make it piss off as he does not like dogs.
So I get a knock on the door and it's the old lady (who's VERY angry I might add) telling me I should have my cat put down as hes a "danger" to people. Um what? O.o He gave your dog a bat on the sniffer to tell it to piss off he did not maul it.
She went on a long rant and I have a few things for you old lady.

1) First your dog was not on a leash. By law any dogs being taken on a walk HAS TO BE on a lesh at all times to keep it and others safe. What if your dog got hit by a car? Would you demand the car get sent to the junk yard and the driver shot? It was walking in my property and my cats turf.

2) Don't you dare compare my cat batting your dogs nose to a DOG RIPPING A KIDS FACE OFF. There nowhere near the same. One was a cat telling a dog to go away the other is ripping a kids face off. Yes if my cat did rip a kids face off I'd have him put down like it should be any dog that did would too.

3) Your dog is acting smarter than you and he's a DOG. He backed away and left my cat alone. You should of done the same.

4) So what if YOUR cat is fine with dogs mines not. Your cat grew up with them my cat has not we don't have a dog. Only time he meets them is when my uncle comes over with his and they no he's the boss when they are over. He's batted them on the nose heaps of time and they are not dead. He does not make them bleed or anything it's just a warning to go away or he'll make you bleed.

Dear troll druid healer at lvl 60 in Heirloom cloth DPS gear...

Piss off. You don't give a fuck that you're a failure and using the WRONG gear and depriving yourself and your party of a competent healer that knows armor specialty is important after level 50? Well guess what? I do.

I'll take the 30 minutes debuff, kthx. It's a total shame you're on Wyrmrest Accord.

I HATE my upstairs neighbors. They smoke out on their patio and then throw their butts and ashes down onto my patio and grass. They ruined all of the cushions on my patio set because of it. I complained to my apartment complex and then put what I didn't have to throw out in storage. They apparently got a lease violation warning, but a month later it's worse not better. I can't even go out there and enjoy the cooler weather because its disgusting and as soon as I clean it up it's covered in ashes and butts again. We have also had no rain for months and there are fire warnings everywhere, but they seem to think throwing their butts into the dry grass is smart.

They have poorly behaved kids too that only seem to be there now and then so I am assuming its a shared child custody type thing. The kids must have bricks for feet or love jumping from the furniture onto the floor. Then run all over the f*cking apartment all day and pound the floor so hard my ceiling fans shake. I was trying to write a paper for my American Lit class yesterday and couldn't get any peace. When the kids finally went to bed around 10pm mom and dad decided it was time to go party out on the patio and I got to listen to them blast sh*tty country music and sing horribly along to it. I gave up on my paper around 1am and went to bed but got an early wake up call when the little brats woke up and decided to jump directly over my head on the floor at 6:30am for about an hour.

Oh and this past weekend they also suddenly started using the handicap spot. I know not everyone who is handicapped may look it but I suspect the tag is not theirs. The tag is dated and was issued several months ago which makes me question why they only started using it now. I usually try to give people the benefit of the doubt, but given what *sshats these people are I am pretty sure they are the type to use a tag that doesn't belong to them.

Oh Cow, I'd suggest taking after your cat and give the old lady a slap across the face, but that wouldn't be appropriate in the least. I giggled at the thought though. :p

[Senna-Umbreon]

Ya know, Digimon Tamers, as much as I LOVE thee.. I will say... WHY U PUNT TWO OF MY FAVOURITE CHARACTERS OUT OF FOCUS SO MUCH WHEN THEY'RE SO DAMNED IMPORTANT TO THE CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT FOR MY FAVOURITE CHARACTER?! WHYYYYYYYYYYYYY?!

It makes me so very very sad. (Even when I kind of understand WHY they don't show up very often, considering, oh you know.. They're 4. But still! Grr! *Flails*)

[Mychelle]

To cowmuflage, I just have to say...you had an absolutely perfect moment to legitimately yell "GET OFF MY LAWN" and you let it pass right by you. ;.; heh.

I hope your cat kicks that dog's ass next time.

[Chimera]

I have yet to fall asleep, been up all night with Lucky, hes pooped in the living room (only does that when he is sick, his litterbox is clean), cried all night, barfed a good 15-20 times, and only now is he starting to loosen up from the tense stanse he takes on when hes not feeling tummy happy and purring. I cant sleep at all now with it being the mid hours of the very early waking morning but i hope he gets some sleep soon.

Dammit Dayquil, if you're gonna addle me up at least unstop my nose and make the coughing stop. I'm just dizzy AND snotty now.

Note to self:

For all that is good and right, please stop looking at dA for anything beyond messages. Because then you look at other people's art and your self-esteem -plummets- and then you feel miserable and sad for the rest of the night because everyone is better than you are at pretty much everything, and you know it is true.

Dammit, I really wish I was either better at art, had more self-esteem, or just gave up artistic pursuits. It would make everything easier.

[Lupis]

My suggestion, Azu, is to just mimic. Draw all the time, see where you can improve, and mimic, practice, mimic, and practice more. When you find a new way to do something, it's AWESOME, and might motivate you to draw more.

Adding to this, my mood had quite happily nose-dived. Between a self-analysis of myself (It didn't end well, if you're curious), lovely monthly time, and siblings pushing me just a bit too far with their antics, I'm about ready to punch something.

And I tried to do a realistic cat. It didn't work. At all.

Lupis: Great point, and it's a valid one. Practice makes perfect, I just need to do that.

[Chimera]

Lucky still wont eat nor leave his spot on the bed ._.

Damnit Blizz, I'm trying to race change and give you money and your login/blizzard sites are down!? Wth!! /grrr
