Dear Mother Nature,

I respect what you have given me for a head of hair. It's think and lush and brown and lovely. I've abused it over the years with colouring, but you've given me it's full strength each and every time I've decided that I want to be something other than a brunette (Which is usually a brunette with funky striping. Eh, what can I do?).

But, I beg you, Mother Nature, why are you letting me grey at a young age? Is it because of stress? I really hope it is. Please don't do this to me, I found another six today, in the same spots that I've found them since I was 13.

Please say it's stress.
-A.

^ Same thing happens to me Cael. I have heard its genes or what have you but it still doesnt make it easier

That reminds me - I dearly wish they'd add an option to the settings tab (which would be grayed out on PVP servers, obviously):

PVP ==> Ignore PVP flags (Y / N)

This would default to "N", however players who explicitly set this to "Y" would be unable to to negatively affect flagged players, just as if said players were not flagged.

If you're playing on a PVE server, and you don't wish to engage in PVP, it shouldn't be possible for sneaky ass-dumplings to trick you into it.

Well that's the risk you take being flagged in a area with alot of players around. If you don't want to be jumped, then don't go into an area that it can happen while flagged.

I think he means that you can't accidentally attack a flagged player, especially as a non-flagged player. I agree, as there have been times where horde that are flagged purposely stack on quest NPCs just to get people to attack them on accident. This doesn't happen as much with people who don't click to target, but I DO click to target, call me a noob /meh, I can still out-damage anyone I group with for dailies, clicking or not.

That's exactly what I meant.

I wasn't talking about people who choose to enter a BG, I was talking about people on a PVE server just trying to do their dailies and getting tricked into flagging /pvp because some already-flagged douche nozzle from opposite faction is following them around, /slapping, /spitting and stacking on them.

This isn't about "clickers vs keybinders" either - griefing is griefing, and tricking people into flagging against their will on a PVE server is 100% wrong no matter how you slice it.

If you want to do PVP on a PVE server, by all means DO enjoy the battlegrounds and arenas. And DO feel free to challenge me to a duel if you like (just don't keep challenging me after I decline or my addon will put you on /ignore).

You do your thing and we PVE'ers will do ours ... and anytime you feel like a PuG, by all means come on over and we can meet in the middle for a while (remember to change out of your resil gear though!)...

Just DON'T go around assuming PVE'ers are there to cure your boredom.

And for the love of all things holy, don't sit on the bloody quest giver while flagged. >:|

When someone tells you that one of those rare spiders is up and calls you a werido for not wanting it O.o

@Caelaza: I think it's mostly genetics that do that, though factors like stress can accelerate the process. I got my first at eleven, and then the rest of my hair -- formerly deepest blue-black -- started losing color at age nineteen. At thirty-eight, my hair's wholly grey shading toward white on top now.

I thought that was early until I met someone who started getting white hairs at eight.

[Aeladrine]

...Where is my sister. Ugh. She is supposed to come home, shower, and pick me up. She should have been here nearly an hour ago. WTF.

[Aritria]

Morven, Vulpixen: You know, I never thought it could be genetics. Now that I think about it, my dad greyed fairly young. At 50, he was all grey, except for a patch of hair right at the back of his head. And he says that he didn't pass anything on to me except his impeccable sense of humour. Pffft, lies!

[Lupis]

My dad likes to keep the house FRIGID in the summer. It's not okay in two ways - one, the principal of the thing. It's the middle of July and I have to curl up in a blanket. Two, we don't have enough money to keep the house this cold. We're suffering from electricity costs, I wonder why?

[Makoes]

GAH!!! Went to get my daughter up from her nap today (she's 15mnths old) and I found her with white pain flecks on her face! A quick inspection showed me that she's been knawing on her crib!!! So now I need to go out and buy some grib guard things so she doesnt ingest paint/wood while she goes through this newest teething phase

[Morven]

As a Brit living in Southern California, I do abuse the air conditioning, but I'm finding I'm a lot more acclimated to heat than I used to be -- I guess after thirteen years I should be! But yeah, it can really chew through a power bill.

Certainly if you run the AC that much you should ensure that it's in tip-top condition, because any inefficiency (blocked filters, clogged heat exchanger, low coolant, etc) will end up costing you a bunch.

[Nubhorns]

I have the wrong version of Street Fighter and can't play with my boyfriend. @_@

Also I'm designing an OC/Muse of mine(his name is Martin! And he's a ball python/owl/squiggly dragon thing!) and decided to use sharpie for his markings(since ball pythons have very distinctive markings) and two things happened. 1.) The sharpie died less than a quarter of the way through, and 2.) I have the mother of all headaches. 1 isn't so bad, since it gives the picture a sort of scritchy, unfinished quality that I almost like with his head the most clearly defined and the rest sort of fading off as the marker died, but 2 is really a pain in the ass. I'm not sure if I'd rather be high off of marker fumes, since the idea doesn't appeal, but anything is better than a headache. :l

Dear Photoshop,
Please stop disabling the Filters and GUI when I am coloring, and animate when told so.

Dear Minecraft,
Stop crashing when we are PvPing :c I wish to blow up that base so let me run away D:

[Senna-Umbreon]

I am tired of being lonely and feeling ignored. So so sick of it.

See, I have an online friend who I used to talk to a lot. Pretty much everyday.. All day. Unfortunately, that's changed. I don't blame my friend or anything, as I know they're busy with real life stuff, and besides, it's not like I'm on that much when they are, thanks to my stupid sleeping schedule.. But it's not exactly fun to be online and see my friend is, and go "WHEEEE WE CAN FINALLY TALK!" only to wait for a while.. And hear nothing from them. At all. Not even a "hi". I know it's probably not intentional.. But I still hate it. I've lost touch with a lot of my friends in the last few months.. And this was one of the only people I kept in contact with.. Until now. Now everything's just falling a part. And I hate it. I have major problems with being ignored.. I even end up thinking I'm being ignored when I'm not. I just get myself into that mindset and I start wondering what I did wrong to make whoever it is not want to talk to me anymore... And it's not only friends that are the problem... The last few weeks have been really hard for me, since my dad's at work almost all day, and my mom's busy with her hula stuff almost the entire time my dad's out (And in fact, she gets back later than he does. There was one night she didn't get back until almost 5 am because of some stupid leaf skirts she was making.) and even when I DO get to see them.. It's only for a few hours a day. I'm currently on a schedule where I sleep from around 10 am to late at night (For example.. 10 pm last night.) and then I'm up for the whole night/early morning. I only get to see my parents for the few hours after they wake up and the few before they go to bed. And.. It gets really lonely. The one person I talk to sometimes goes to bed at 3 am, so I can't talk to her for at least half of the time I'm up. Now, I'm a person who needs my own space at times.. But when it's not one of the times I need time alone.. I get lonely. A lot. Lately even more so than usual, since I REALLY REALLY miss talking to the friend I mentioned before... I really wish I was on a better schedule to talk to them more, but a part of me is wondering whether it's not just that that is causing this, but me myself.. I know it seems silly, but I'm starting to wonder if I've done something wrong to cause all of this...


On a.. Less sad note.. WHY CAN'T I DRAW ANYTHING GOOD ANYMORE?! AAAAGGHHHHHHHHH *Flails*

[Lilako]

/stares at Senna ... You can still draw good don't make me get a stick to poke you with until you believe it!!


Minecraft makes me rage still :c

Aw, Senna. I'm sorry you're feeling this way. Wish I could figure out a way to help. If you ever want to talk to me, feel free.

Edit related to FotTC:

Also, now I have a plausible way Azu won't come back. But people won't like it.

[Lupis]

FFffffffffff.
I thought the AP world history exam was really easy. I was all hyped up that the score calculator was basically saying I got a 5.
My BRILLIANT friend got a 4.
Fffffffffffff.

Edit - nevermind! :-DDDDDDDD 5/5.

Creepy people on Facebook, eesh, friends with someone and every time they post this other person comes in and says something completely perverted and creepy :S

[Morven]

Is it a friend of theirs? Have they said anything about it?

It's worth noting that friends sometimes do this as a joke, and it's easy to take it the wrong way if you don't know. On the other hand, being an online creep is also common.

Well I thought it was a joke the first like nine times... but now it's getting kind of weird especially when my friend is like talking about their family and this guy kinda comes in and makes a really perverted comment. They did the same thing yesterday too when my friend posted about a tatoo. IDK though I haven't said anything it just weirds me out.

Also-quick-nother-rant:

I hate when like feelings manifest themselves as physical sickness, such as, I hear or read something and it gets to me and I get depressed and it makes me want to throw up because I dwell on it so much.
