WHY ARE SOCIAL INTERACTIONS SO HARD.

[Chimaera]

This god damn pimple won't go away. I'm not one to normally worry about these things, but AARGH.
I've had this thing for a week and a half now and my normal dab-on-some-zit-cream-and-forget-about-it strategy isn't working. It wouldn't be so bad though if it didn't look like I was starting to reproduce via budding. :I Really this thing is huge. And red. And it's irritating me.

[Novikova]

Why must I be randomly moody and upset at small things? It's online, there will be pill boxes and tools and idiots with no clues about social interaction. >:| But I shouldn't let that cancel out the awesome or the people I love. I really need to get out of call center work too. I hate phones. But it pays most of the bills...

[Lisaara]

There's one chick on Magistream I absolutely cannot stand! UGH! I won't name her cause I'm probably not allowed to here but she causes just so much drama and she's never happy with anything there.....ever! Now she's arguing with me whether Wyrms are dragons or not when they are by definition. They're wingless or legless dragons!

[Makoes]

Kind of rant, kind of happy...

Now I can understand some people getting really tired of having boss drops ninja'd by classes that cant make full use of the item at low levels where anyone can hit "need". But maybe, just maybe if you stopped, and politely asked why they "needed" the item when thier class couldnt really use that item, just maybe you might be able to get that item back.

I was in a Zul'farrak run when a 1h sword dropped from one of the bosses, it had Strength and "chance on hit" effect, and one of the hunters hit need. The tank just started yelling at the hunter and calling them nasty names and then ragequite. tHe other hunter and one more dps left, leaving just me (on my shammy healer) and the "ninja". I inspected the hunter to find them decked out in thee most hodge pojed mesh of gear, str,agil,intel, to melee'r weapons...a right mess of gear.

So I asked her if she was new to wow, she was and this was her first character. well, things made a bit more sense, so I pointed out her gear, and told her as a hunter she wanted to get gear that was chocked full of agility goodness. I directed her to look for "of the monkey" gear to get a better idea of when to look for, as well as pointed out about "chance on hit weapons" and how hunters are a pure ranged class. I pointed out that she did lots more damage ranged then when she started meleeing, and about how (like this group) people have little tolerance now days for people who dont know thier class.

We ended up running several more dungeons together...though it took a long time since I think the only tank queing at the time was the one that had ragequite...and we kept getting him and he kept leaving right when he saw the hunter...we tried getting him to wait as the hunter still had the sword and was willing to give it to him, but the damn guy just never stuck around long enough for us to explain what had happened, or even long enough for us to type "wait!".

Later we ended up questing with another hunter who was in the same boat as the first, and I was happy to help him as well. He wasnt as bad, but still about half his gear had intel/str type stuff. I felt really good at the end of the runs when I was headed to bed. I'd help some new players out, and they had thanked me for being so nice about it.

But I wish I could remember the name/server of the tank so that I could have sent him a (polite) message about the situation so that if something like that happened again...maybe, just maybe he wouldnt be so quick to fly off the handle...

[Worba]

That's true - also sometimes people need on something they kind of need... but someone else needs even more.

Like back in wotlk I rolled need for an agi dagger on my hunter - did I need it? Yes, it was an offhand upgrade, but then I saw a rogue also rolling need. So even though I won the roll, since he didn't make a big deal out of it, I handed it over to him.

There was also one time in wotlk when I was on my fury warrior, the dps plate boots dropped, and the tank needed on it - ofc he won. So instead of saying anything, I went ahead and needed on the tank trinket which had also dropped, and won - the tank quietly opens a trade window with the boots, I dropped in the trinket, and everyone ended up happy.

[CrystalKitten]

I want somebody. I'm tired of being along. I haven't been hugged in over a year. Haven't done... other things... in over 2 or 3... (Not that I'm in a rush to start that again.. but..)... And I'm just so tired of being alone... Not having anyone to tell about the cool things I learned.. Or to get to take me/go with me to the zoo, or ... Mostly I miss the hugs.. Those i at least still got before my best friend disappeared off the face of the earth... Something about feeling the pressure tight around me... Like it was physically pressing me back together when ever my glue started to come unstuck... I'm getting really sick of being alone... But still can't do anything about it... All the trhings wrong with me aren't gone.. I don't know if they'll ever be FULLY gone.. and who'd want to be with someone that can throw a tantrum like a 6 year old because there's no mashed potatoes.. :/ Even when I know that's no reason, and definitely NOT a reasonable response..

Okay.. end rant.. I just realized I have 20+ pages of a developmental bio lab to read tonight.. At least when I'm finished I can treat myself to an hour or so of Fable 3...

[Lisaara]

The pain in my jaw...it's unbearable. I'm in near tears. Hard to believe one little wisdom tooth is causing my entire jaw to hurt so bad as well as my ears.

[cowmuflage]

That reminds me I need to go to the dentist, Got a card yesterday from her. Better to go then not to go.

Long as you got insurance and stuff. Without that, you're fucked.

[cowmuflage]

Not really it's differnt in NZ we have free heatlh care and stuff.

[Azunara]

Hm.

I have to "dress successfully" today. As in, with good clothes and shoes, not just jeans and sneakers. It's a shame that my only pair of fancy shoes broke Thursday, and we never bothered to get more.

[Moore]

I've got a sore throat, my ear hurts, and I quit my job. So far petopia is the only one who knows. I didn't last very long, like the entire management was all family and one of them kept riding up to me on the job site saying shit to me/ calling me names and I knew it pretty much wasn't going to get better.

I've also kinda met a girl out here so I'd like to stay... but I still might end up being forced back home :\

[Rubywashere]

Half of my face is frozen
so hard to eat even soup
At least I can creepy out people with twisted half smiles

[Mychelle]

Why, would you admit to being a selfish asshole, and then go RIGHT back to being a selfish asshole?

When its pointed out to you, all you can say is "Ah. I dunno. Sorry."

Sorry doesn't make it better when you don't actually care.

Fuck it.

So.. my brain doesn't work at all when I'm severely stressed. A 3 -6 on a stress scale for the "average" person, is probably about a 10 for me(determined by the fact that when I'm at the point that not having mashed potatoes can throw me into an anxiety attack, usually the same amount of work/crap seems to be what has other people saying "Oh man, so much work to do, I haven't been able to go out all week, going to have to stay in this weekend")... And I've been running at maybe an 8-10 for a week now. The tiredness and all that is getting to the point where I LITERALLY forgot how to spell my name. I had the strange notion that my name was spelled differently when writing partially sideways... And I'm pretty good at writing partially sideways... So that wasn't a new problem...

But really... forgetting how to spell my name? Maybe I should.. go talk to some of the councilors again... but I'm not big on them.. they don't usually help much, if they don't just make things worse.. Not sure what they'd say other than stress coping mechanisms like giving myself a reward for getting so much done, or putting less pressure on myself either by studying lightly with some leisure going on (like when I study while watching tv) for longer periods, or for shorter periods but more intense and with more breaks... Doesn't really help much, as I do all that already. I even still have my jerk-o-lantern method.. and there's no issue in particular that's causing the increased stress... Just a constant 3 weeks of having SOMETHING important due/to be done every other day (sometimes 2 or 3 things in the same day).

I just want it over. do nothing for a little bit... Have time to do the halloween stuff on all my active characters... (or at least.. the 3 or 4 important ones I have right now)... Mostly.. I just want to be able to not have to constantly feel like I have to be going... Wake up, come to class, study on my break, class, study, class, go home, study, study, study, microwave some food, quick shower if there's time, play for half an hour, sleep (generally badly when I'm stressed, which makes things worse, as my body ALSO doesn't function without enough sleep), and repeat.. and that's been going since about.. I did my digital zoo... which I guess was 2 fridays ago... I liked that project.. why can't all the projects be like that one.. it was fun.

Mostly now I'm typing so I can procrastinate until my next class and NOT have to study.. cause it feels good to NOT have to do work.. to NOT be reading through lecture slides, and finding terms in my textbook (or worse case, google)... Yesterday I had such a MASSIVE headache...

Speaking of.. that headache was likely because of my developmental lab. Got to see some baby sea urchin balls swimming around.. that was kinda cool.. but there was something funky with my microscope I think.. cause I had such a MASSIVE headache in/behind my right eye when I got home.. My vision was flawless last time I got my eyes checked (even my astigmatism was gone)... but... it was REALLY bad.. Also.. the lab was WAAAAAAAY too long. Like.. seriously. I don't know if ANYONE actually finished EVERYTHING we were supposed to do...

I could use a hug :/ Digital ones are good and all.. but as I mentioned before I guess.. just something about the physical pressure... Oh well... well.. looks like I've procrastinated long enough... time to head on over to my next class...

[Samskeyti]

/ very big comforting hug


I have a meeting any minute now. /nervous.

[Falcon]

I shouldn't have woken up today. The Headless Horseman insists on still being an ass to me, I hate being female right now, and Pizza Hut just had to be out of boneless buffalo wings. AND the delivery guy forgot my Pepsi! *screams and tears her hair out*

[CrystalKitten]

Great... Trying to study on my break and now I've freaking got cramps. of ALL the weeks... why this one?! Not only that.. but I've been.. prepared for 2 days now, just so I'm not waking up in the middle of the night to check, and LITERALLY 5 minutes after I decide "Okay, screw it, something with my body is messed this month" .... Yeah...

Still probably 2 or 3 hours before I can get home and get some tylenol

[Tufak]

Crystal - Not that I know much about this stuff...but maybe that's part of why you're reacting so badly to the stress right now?
