WoW Petopia Community

Blizzard games are all about the vanity though, especially WoW. Get a rare pet? It's pretty much for showing-off's sake. Gear? In the end, it's to show off how 'pro' you are. Rare mount? Again, people endlessly sit around Orgrimmar/Stormwind and show off their mount. I don't have anything against these people really, since I know if I ever got a really rare mount that few others had, I'd probably wanna show it around too. But when you see people who sit in the same spot for *hours* pretending they're AFK so people can come over and swoon at their mount/gear/achievements/whatever, all I can think is what a massive waste of £9 a month that is. The only time I ever sit about in Orgrimmar is either when I'm waiting for something else to happen (BG, raid finder, etc.) or when I actually am AFK.

Oh I get the vanity thing, believe me, I just hate it when people go out of their way to beat you over the head with it, like spamming /general about awesome they are for having done achievement Y, taming pet X or gear Z.

People who do it quietly don't bother me at all, e.g. get some rare thing and then just stand around out front of the auction house so people can gawk at you - that's fine in my book.

And for me rant o' the day... the fact that if you leave /general in Diablo 3, it logs you right back into that channel next time you log into the game.

Rant #2 - people who A) don't know the answer to a question yet instead of keeping their mouth shut and letting someone else answer, they go ahead and B) answer a different question that you didn't ask in the first place, and then for bonus points they then C) laugh at you for the question you didn't ask. Basically people who are simultaneously stupid, delusional, and somehow also really, REALLY into themselves. >.>

My body has been full of ridiculous lately. I can't sleep, and when I finally pass out it'll usually be for about two hours.

Until today. Today I slept for over twelve hours and am still so completely exhausted that it's hard even getting off my bed. I'm forcing myself to stay awake. I've only been up for about three hours so far today and I'm ready for more sleep.

And worst of all, I feel weak as all get out.

I feel like I can't do anything. Picking up a pitcher of water is hard. Pouring it worse. I'm not dehydrated; I've been drinking so much water that I'm pretty sure I've bloated from it. I'm trying to remember to eat but, as per usual, it's difficult and I forget a lot.

I don't have a fever. Or, if I do, it's not a particularly bad one.

I know this is probably my own fault; I wasn't eating much Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday because I was worried I'd run out of food. As soon as I realized what I was doing, though, I fixed it. I've been eating more than I usually do to try and make sure something like this didn't happen.

I just feel so weak. My head hurts.

Hopefully I'll be better tomorrow.

B12 and some Iron might fix you right up, see if you can't get someone to go out and get you some.

Have you been to a doctor Ale? That sounds a lot like Mono, and as someone who gets mono usually once a year (3 times last year -__-), I'm pretty apt at telling the symptoms.

If it continues I'll go see a doctor for sure. Hopefully it's just my body being exhausted and finally realizing that it's been being stupid. I don't know how I'd get mono, though, as I don't really share drinks with anyone (I've never been kissed, so that's also out the window). I did go out to eat for once, but that was yesterday and I doubt that it'd take effect so quickly. I'm really, really hoping it's not mono, though. I didn't even think about that, and that's one that puts you out of commission for quite a while.

Rawr, I've been taking daily vitamins as well, because I was worried I wasn't getting enough protein. I take One A Day Teen Advantage for Her (even though I'm almost twenty, haha), which should have both B12 and iron in it. I'll definitely see about picking some up tomorrow, though, as a friend and I need to run some errands after my class and before she does work.

Cats I don't care who did it but your both in big shit when dad gets home for making that hole in the sofa and then scareing the crap out of me by going inside it! >:(

Anyone remember that post I made a few weeks ago about my ingrown toenail and how worried I was about it? Yeah. Turns out it's not an ingrown toenail, or at least another doctor (Who actually had a proper look at it instead of glancing at it and not wanting to even touch it like the last one.) thinks it's not and says I might have some kind of blood/bone infection. She doesn't know for sure and that's what's been stressing me out quite a lot recently. My boyfriend came down for a week and went back home yesterday and my mother isn't back from her holiday yet so I'm having to deal with this all alone. It's stressful when I have the last part of my college course to be worrying about as well. Whatever the fuck is wrong with me, I hope it clears up soon. I didn't go to college today due to stress. I went to get the bus and just burst into tears because of how much it hurt to walk on my toe and how alone I feel without my boyfriend here to support me. So I just walked straight back home again. I don't need this. Not now, especially.

I'm getting a blood test tomorrow, to see if anything's changed which might give me an answer. Then I'll probably have an x-ray on Wednesday. I need this to piss off. Now.

My stomach is in knots, it feels like a nest of eels. I've been fighting off the urge to throw up all night. Anxiety is just soaking through to my core.

Thats no good! Hope ya get better!

Is it bad I instantly got that The Mighty Boosh song in my head "eels"? :S

Gah even with the heater on it's still freezeing! The only good thing about winter is my birthday is in july.

Pepto and a hot bath with lots of bubbles Veph

Everdeen I had that happen to me and they surgically removed whatever was there, didn't take long and I didn't have to go under. Took out a chunk of my toe but you can't even see the scars now

Aeladrine daily vitamins are good but be careful things in them can make you sick, like silver or too much Iron (you can't have too much B12 but you can overdose on Iron)


I hope everyone feels better soon for you all

Aw thanks Rawr. <3 I hope everyone else gets better too, seems everyone's got some weird shit at the moment.

Had my blood test and x-ray today. I'd never had a blood test before... I had no idea what to expect... x___x Luckily I didn't look at the needle! I'm not squeamish (Big horror/gore movie fan here.) except when it comes to my own blood. I felt weird afterwards, heh. The x-ray was quick and simple, the lady told me that nothing looked obviously wrong with the bone in my toe so perhaps it's some kind of infection of the skin? I'll have to wait until my next doctor's appointment to find out, on Friday.

My parents are away for holiday, and our cat is missing. My brother is home alone, at work from morning to evening and I can only stop by once or twice a week at my parents', but we haven't seen her since the weekend. She's an old lady and I'm afraid she got lost or hurt or worse she might have passed away. EVERY single time my parents are away something happens to the cat. Last year she got hit by a car and almost died, once she was abducted by some crazy person and brought into our local shelter, an other time she got hurt by a dog, the next time it was a broken leg. I'm so afraid of something bad when I get there tomorrow

So Sunday night/Monday morning I ended up in the ER. Because I'd been very tired for days and then, on top of that, I got this weird pain in the right side of my abdomen and started having to fight just to stay awake. Half the time I was so tired I was delirious. And my roommate had gone to the hospital before she left, so I figured I probably should as well. The friend I was talking to agreed, mostly because my symptoms were also indicators of appendicitis.

So the hospital. I was in there for a long time. Loooooooong time. I don't even remember half of it. I'm fine now, it wasn't appendicitis, and mostly I'm just tired.

But yesterday, when I got back from the hospital, a whole shit ton of things came out in the open.

The friend that I am totally, desperately in love with went with me to pick up my meds. And the entire time he was extremely angry. I've never seen him like that before. Understandably, I was worried. He tells me to ask another friend of ours what happened because if he starts this conversation with me he's going to end up yelling and he really doesn't want to do that.

So I text her. And I end up very, very hurt.

Before I go on, I should mention that these two are some of my best friends in the whole world. She knows things about me that only one other person does, and he's... well, he's him. I love them both to death.

So finding out they'd been sleeping together for months hurt a lot. She knew I liked him. And she didn't do it to hurt me, she did it because she couldn't say no to him even though she knew it was a Bad Plan. And she straight up told me that the only reason she didn't tell me about it was because she didn't want me to be hurt.

I'm not hurt that they were sleeping together. Surprising to me, but I'm not. I'm not hurt that she didn't tell me.

I'm hurt that he was sleeping with her every night and flirting with me every day. I'm hurt that they were using each other for sex and nothing more.

And I'm proud of her for saying no more and figuring out that she really is in love with another friend of ours, because he loves her too. But I'm disappointed in him for getting upset. I'm sad that he was going to ask her back out.

That's what hurts the most, I think. That he was going to ask her back out.

That part hurts a lot.

But I am Switzerland up in this bitch. I am the neutral party. I am there for both of them. I am taking no sides; I am a comfort machine. I will listen to them both and point out things to both of them.

I think I just wish someone was there to comfort me.

Aela, I'm not gunna lie, that hurt just to read. I obviously don't know these people at all so I'm not going to properly judge them, but if he got angry around you while you were suffering, that's plain unfair. It sounds like you were having a harsh enough time as it is. I really hope you can sort this all out, there's nothing I can say that will help you, but I really do wish you well and hope things turn around for you... :/

My Head hurts, I dont have very much patience left, and my arm keeps hurting me...like msi or ct or something...damn repetative motions at home and work.

Got my 2 kittens last night and they are fun, but my daughter wont leave thier food/water alone, she wont leave them alone when they sleep, and when the fall asleep on a computer chair she starts spinning them around!! Mostly just stressed, she plays gentle with them, but its getting her to understand that sometimes they need space from her to.

And my Nephew is over, as per usual weekdays, but he has this annoying habit of announcing EVERYTHING! or if its a day where he knows he is allowed to play video games he will keep asking me "when" he can play them...its about as annoying as the "Are we there yet?" question on a long carride.

Just seems everytime I turn around some kid is doing something they know they shouldn't be doing...

Well, it was after I got out of the hospital. I'm completely fine now, and he really was trying hard not to be angry. And it's not like he's angry at me.

I just... he's one of my best friends. I love him, I really do. And at least our other friend has someone else to talk to. He's got me. That's it. He doesn't trust easily, and he generally doesn't let himself show when he's angry. He doesn't talk about it.

So the fact that I'm pretty much the only person he's talking to about any of this actually means a lot.

I just worry about him.

Why is it that I always get hungry AFTER I brush my teeth and get in bed? -_-

Not really my rant, but man has he had a rough week. First the fight, then finding out most of his friends don't want to talk to him, now this. One of his close family friends was in a car accident and it's not looking good.

I am his rock. I just wish I could help more.
