*hugs*
I hate light and heat makes me drowsy so I spend my summers on a reversed schedule.

I'm in the 21-25 age bracket, will be for a few years, plus I'm a female. I do not enjoy drinking every week end, nor do I enjoy parties. I like staying at home and watching horror movies or playing on the computer. I hate make up, can't stand it at all, and dresses and skirts get on my nerves as well. Sure, I've got a form of romance I enjoy, a single book series by Sherrilyn Kenyon, but in general I think romance is a sham to make more money. The fact that I love computer games, or any games for that matter, still startles most people.
Another thing...the fact that I'm single. Issue isn't as simple as people seem to think it is, there's some stuff I wouldn't go into here, but the simple fact that I have no physical boyfriend seems to bother so many people to no end! I keep getting the 'oh get a boyfriend and you'll be happy' or 'you don't have a boyfriend? you should go out to find one' and it bothers me. I don't Want a boyfriend right now, I'm content being alone for the moment. If I figure out what I'm doing with my life them maybe I'll feel comfortable adding someone else to it.
Lastly, wow related this time...the word Huntard. Hate...that...word.
Amen to that, I agree wholeheartedly. I'm 20 and have never had a serious relationship, have never been drunk nor will I ever want to, and am a sucker for games and programming. The last time I used any make up was... seven years ago I suppose? And... ...

... I just found a cockroach in my room. Guess it's time to clean up this mess. o.o

........Saf I got enough of a fright with the spider I saw in your room. Was it huge?
Did you kill it? Is it gone and never going to return?!

Threw it onto the yard, along with the spider I just found. XD
Saturo, there's actually a mouse family living inside our roof. *squee* I can hear them run around up there sometimes when I'm trying to sleep.

That sounds so familiar... I used to have a medicine for anxiety that caused me to switch to complete lights out mode in 30 minutes. :P

Being accused of theft. That is my biggest problem when it comes to working somewhere, I worked at the same GameStop for a few months shy of three years and if anything ever went missing I was the last person to ever be suspected of anything and the first one to go out of my way to try to fined the one who did it (which I did once when I started to watch one of my coworkers and his girlfriend).
When I worked at Bath and Body Works it took all of two months before one manager approached me to let me know that the store manager was trying to pin about $700 worth of missing drawer cash on me along with another $200 or so dollars of missing merchandise. Please note that she had been doing so by checking me as having been on shift several days that theft had occurred that I hadn't worked. She told me this because she liked me as an employee and thought that what the head manager was doing was wrong (the store had had an internal theft problem since it opened almost ten years prior). I left the job very soon after do to that and because I was not scheduled for two weeks strait, then "given" three one hour call-in shifts which I was never contacted about, so that I was considered "non-rehireable" at the company as a whole. The reason for all this harassment? Her fiance had offhandedly told her that I was "cute."
I am currently working at Blockbuster, the other day I get an angry text message telling me in short that a copy of a new game was unaccounted for. I said that I had no idea why it wouldn't be there and asked what the copy number assigned to it was, I knew that one copy had been checked out two days prior to a lady by my CSR and then another the day before by me personally to a guy and gave him both copy numbers. He informed me that the store had three copies and that I had either been careless and did not check out the game properly so that they got the game for free or I had taken it form the store for my own uses. I asked him again what the copy number was and assured him that both presumed cases had not happened. He informed me to get the game back to the store pronto. This went on for over an hour of me asking nicely for the information and trying to figure out what had happened to the game that I hadn't known existed, and my manager informing me that I had taken it, until I got a last message saying that my CSR for the night before had admitted to checking out a copy (number 3) to a little kid and might have forgotten to scan it. When he went back to see who checked out what, all that I had told him added up with the files and copy numbers, what she had said didn't.
The next day when I was back at work he called and asked me to put an envelope from the safe aside for him and to make sure that "no one stole it" before he got there. When he did he demanded to know where it was and then left. No "thanks", no "sorry", no nothing. Made me sick, now I'm starting up on the hunt for a new job...

Wow, sorry to hear that Rarako.
Unfortunately, when people cover their asses crap always rolls downwards... Hope you find a place with a manager that doesn't jump to conclusions without getting all the facts. You know, one that's on their employees' side! (Don't laugh, I
know they exist! I know it!)

*hugs Raranko* I love hugs!
But the thing that is grinding me currently is stalker players who ask stupid questions. I was leveling my human rogue and a warrior (lvl 2) comes up to me asking for help. I ask what does he need help with he responds about killing the mangy wolves back in the starting area.
KILLING NEUTRAL MOBS, I told him that he can do it easily himself he answered "Exactly" back to me....I told him that I have my own quest to take care of. He starts asking me what quest, I told him just that I need to kill stuff and then he asks what do I need to kill.
He started following me around through Elwynn Forest. I did a horrible thing and leaded him through a pack of wolves and stealthed from him.
I was supposed to feed him to the murlocs but the wolves beat them to it.
