Getting so horribly locked in traffic that my bus transfer expired by the time I debarked (when you pay your fare, you get a transfer slip that allows you to board buses for free for the next couple hours, because there probably isn't a direct route to your final destination). The additional cost isn't something to lose sleep over, but the fact that I wound up in such bad traffic is what irritated me. Note to self; never take Route 250 again, if you want your bus to actually use the bus lanes and carpool lanes :x

At least the flooding was gone today. We only got moderate rain, but a massive windstorm blew in this afternoon. Going over the bridge across Lake Union, one got the impression that some jerk had just called the lake's mother a female dog, questioned its heritage, intelligence, and sexuality, and then told it to go play with itself.

@cowmuflage: yeah, judgmental hypocrites are the worst. But, it sounds like you got a green light from the doc, so that's some good news (if you don't know what I'm talking about, don't bother asking).

I have an itch to write. Really do. Something awesome.

But I can't, for the life of me, think of a good way to begin and have a plot. It's driving me nuts.

I know I'm gonna get killed for this.. And though it does have something to do with the forums.. At this point, I just need to rant. Feel free to bitch at me for it. I don't care.

I just wish that the WoW RP would fricken DIE. There, I said it. Why do I feel this way? Because I miss the best RP these forums had. The Pokemon RPs. I miss them, goddammit. Yes, there was the new one.. But it died. My inspiration for it died too. Not because I didn't like it.. But.. Because some of the RP'ers left. Kamalia already decided that she'd leave the PokeRP in favour of the new WoW RP.. And Magna decided to leave the RP too. Not only did that leave me upset.. What was I to do with my freakin' characters?! Half their family was totally absent due to their RP'ers being gone! I hardly even felt like RP'ing either Ghost or Rust, which is fairly odd considering how much I love them...

So, yeah, I just want the WoW RP to go die in a fire. I'm not about to just sit here like an idiot when half of my friends are off in RP dreamland! I mean, I could join them.. But.. It wouldn't feel the same. I'd miss my Pokemon. I'm not as attached to my WoW characters as I am to my Pokemon ones. Eventually... I'd just end up leaving.

And yes, I do know that things don't last forever. I really really really wish they did, though. I want the epic RP that was Rise of the Shadows back. I want the PokeRP back, with EVERYONE back in it. I miss all the fun we had in WoD and RotS... And.. I miss the people who were in the RPs. Sure, we're still friends. But.. It almost seems like we've all grown farther apart now that the RPs are over.


... Yeah. I know, I'm kinda being selfish.. But I needed to let that all out. I mean, this is the place to do it, right? To rant about things? Since the old one got locked.. This is the only place I've seen where I can vent things out. Also.. Azu, Lupis.. Heck, anyone who's been in the PokeRP and the WoW one, or just the WoW one in general.. Feel free to get mad at me. I.. Just needed to get this out.

No worries, Senna. Frankly, I completely understand where you're coming from. I'm not going to argue either. *Shrug* You're completely entitled to your own opinion, nothing wrong with that.

That said, I wish the PokeRP was alive too. I miss it.

On a completely different note, I really wish time would slow down. xD

Eeesh.

Me? Not mad. I mean, at first when I read it, I was a bit upset. But it's not the fault of the WoW RP entirely. Magna hasn't joined it. He left entirely due to his own devices. And I'd love to RP. I really would. But until we find the mirror, the only things I can do is write filler posts. Believe me, I have tons of things I'd like to do for the PokeRP.

I know and completely understand you miss what was RotS and WoD. But after two RPs, perhaps Magna was burned out? And as for Kam...Maybe she wanted a change of pace? I can multi-task both RPs, without issues, but not everyone can.

Eh. I'm rambling, and these points aren't coming out how I want them too. Just know, Senna, I'm not mad at you, and I wish the PokeRP would come back too. But until certain things happen, I can't do anything to help it. So I participate in other RPs.

...Still rambley. I should shut up.

Aw, Senna. :(

I understand how you feel - I loved those RPs. They were a ton of fun, I loved the characters, and I made some good friends because of it. But please don't blame the WoW RP (I must admit I was a little bit upset at reading that. More than just the Pokémon roleplayers participate in those threads, and it would be very unfair for them if the WoW RP up and died, leaving them without a thread to participate in.) - for example, I left the Pokémon roleplays because I spent a lot of time on them. Too much time. More than once I ended up realizing I had spent the entire day on the computer and hadn't interacted with my family beyond "Hey, how are you doing?" I decided to go with the WoW RP because I still wanted to roleplay and the WoW RPs seem to move slower, letting me have more time to spend with my IRL things. I didn't leave because I preferred the WoW roleplay over the Pokémon roleplay.
Just felt like I needed to clear up the reason I left, I guess? I didn't really give a reason why when I first announced I wasn't going to participate in Vengeance of the Soultakers... :/

... *Sighs* Figures that all I'm doing is making things worse. I never meant to blame ANYONE. I understand that people leave, get tired of RPs, feel like they need to do something different.. I totally understand that. I never meant to imply that I didn't like it. Yes, it upset me, but I'm not mad at ANYONE.

*Blinks* I don't think people were too insulted by your rant Senna. :hug:

Honestly? I know how you feel though, although I'm not shifting blame to any reason in particular. Sometimes, things just die, or loose momentum in this case (to a staggering crawl >.>). Entropy is the only absolute in this universe. I can't really advise on how to push past something like this. Perhaps a change in scenery would be for the best, a completely new RP not tied down to all the continuity established in any other. Or perhaps another activity all of us could enjoy doing.
(btw, I honestly feel the reason why VotS is moving so slow is because of, well, me. >.> Damn my need to try and keep things semi realistic in relation to time!)

I guess if I have to add my little bit of a rant, it's how worked up people are getting in these forums. I think that, once Mania is feeling 100% again, we need to have a discussion on some of the more pressing issues that seem to be making people pissed.

SO glad you went and sorted this out. Get better soon! :hug:

I think you're overreacting here. My suggestion for leaving out names was to simply avoid giving the impression of blaming people. People don't react to your intentions; they react to what they perceive to be your intentions.

As for your rant, it was probably good for you to get that off your chest, and by raising the subject you found out what the other RPers felt about this issue. Oh, and you got a more concise explanation from Kamalia to boot, which should clear up a misunderstanding.

On-topic: I'm feeling like I'm drowning in calculus. Gasping for understanding, on the verge of panic - oh, and a test tomorrow that I'll need to power myself through on caffeine. I don't know what to direct this welled-up frustration at, so I guess I need this thread. And some sleep. And a good grade... *mumbles incoherently*

Actually, I personally did get insulted by the rant a bit. I'm really sorry you hate our WoW RP, but how would you feel if I said I wish that all the Pokemon RPs would just go die in a fire because I don't like Pokemon and the TotH thread has basically been dead for while? Not very nice is, nor is it my feelings, just an extreme example.

And by the way, if you've followed the TotH thread at all recently, you'd notice it's been pretty dead for a while. ;)
However, I hope that ranting about that made you feel better, and I'm sorry you seemed to think that TotH was killing the Poke RPs.

On Topic (language warning): I'm a bagger at a grocery store. I probably have a huge list of rants I could put down here, but I'll keep it brief. For now I'll just list one of my more recent pet peeves. So our bakery department closes down before our deli department. There's always at least one deli person over there cleaning stuff. Customers, despite the giant "Bakey is Closed" sign, go up and ask for bakery help anyway.

Well, instead of the fucking deli person who's standing right fucking there, that person goes and walks across their department to the phone to page one of the front end people for customer service in the bakery. It's pissing the entire front end off because it's not our job and the fucking deli person is already standing RIGHT THERE at the bakery area (they're connected). Usually all the customer wants is a tart out of the case, which the deli worker could already have done by the time they get to the phone.

Not to mention the other shit we already have to do for the deli...it's aggravating to get called over there for something they could do just as easily. I know it's a lot of work to get that area cleaned, but fuck, they leave it looking pretty messy anyways that I've almost slipped and fallen going to put their fucking chickens away. Ugh, sorry that's so long. At least I know that one of my managers is going to ask our store manager why we have to go over there and do stuff for the bakery, especially since we have our own set of work to do.

*Sighs again* Right then.. Here's the thing. I have a habit of overreacting. I have spontaneous thoughts and emotions. Usually, if I say I hate something, it's just because of my current anger. I hardly ever keep any hatred for it. Despite me saying I hated the WoW RP, I was really only saying that in the spur of the moment/anger. Bad habit of mine, I admit.


Aaand on topic.. RP muse has diiiiiiiied! My brain is currently completely and utterly dead. Blah.

Like I said, hope ranting about it made you feel better. :) I was insulted upon first reading it because WoW RP is the only RP I'm involved with so it was kind of like a slap in the face. But I made sure to read through the other responses and posts and I calmed myself down. Since it is a rant thread, I posted how I felt just because the other people posting were all Poke RPers. In fact, I think I'm like the only RPer here that isn't involved with Pokemon and I just wanted to show how it felt when I first read it.
