Yep. And IRL, I'm not the kind of person to raise a fuzz about something like that. Evil jerks.

I also exist on DeviantArt.

The Frostbitten achievment...grr...I wish they would take KK, Loque and Aotona out of it. I'm kinda achievement obsessed and am working on it. I don't want to kill them! :(

That's why I'm not even bothering with it. I hate that I'd have to choose and bottom line is I'd rather tame three Loques (like I'll ever see him again :?) than kill him.

Being stuck at work until 1130 or midnight, bored out of my mind. Come on people, steal something! (I work loss prevention for a large store). I don't think I can deal with another 6+ hours of sitting here, looking at the same Christmas displays that I've seen for the past 2 months or so....

Thanks, Veph for the siggy!

I got credit for the King Krush kill a while back when all of us guildies were in a group to help someone tame him. We tagged him first, but the tame failed since some random person showed up and killed him from under us. Since we had tagged him we all got the credit though.

Loque I deliberately waited until a late evening when not many others were on. I checked in Sholazar Basin, asked guildies, and waited about 5 minutes and when no one showed up/replied I killed him. Same with Aotona once. No one wanted her, so I got the kill over with. I'd never kill a tameable rare more than once, but I'm an achievement obsessee as well so I needed them at least once each. :3

Oh I totally understand Veph, and I'm not upset with people for killing them for the achievement, I just hate the idea of doing it.

Restaurants that have mascots of the animal you are going to eat. It just seems really weird to me to see a smiling chicken holding a big bucket of fried chicken parts or a pig cooking bacon. Plus it seems kind of...counterproductive to me. "Oh wow that pig mascot is so cute!" "Yeah, well, now you're going to be eating him with a side of cornbread and baked beans. Enjoy!".

Along the same lines ...

There's a BBQ place near here with a taxidermy alligator at the front door. Now I have this thing for reptiles - I don't like to see them dead. Especially not stuffed and shellacked and posed in 'cute' poses right before I eat.

I refused to go in. My family threw a fit, but what can you do? I'm not eating there.

When you're completely exhausted all weekend, even after getting almost 12 hours of sleep both nights... Then having a ton of schoolwork to do on Sunday night before going to sleep... AND being twice as exhausted when you get your ass to Monday's classes and pray you don't collapse. :P

At least the bus riders around here are awesome enough to wait for running people!

Having a teacher that contradicts herself. Dx I had a paper due last Friday, but on Wednesday we went over our revised drafts and the teacher confused me so much that I literally spent four or five hours staring at my computer screen and drawing a complete blank on what to type.

Seriously.

"<reading the assignment paper> Oh, so I need to comapre two blogs this should be easy. <types a paper> "
" <teacher on Wednesday> Oh, no, you weren't supposed to compare the sites, you were supposed to prove a point about them -using- comparison "
"Wait, isn't using comparisson, you know, writing a comparrison? "
" Just don't worry about comparing the sites at all then! Just prove a point. "
" I'm still a bit confused. "
" Well, if you're confused, read the assignment paper. It gives you the directions. "
" <rereads assignment paper> ' All you have to do is comapre two blogs. ' "

X_x


ALSO! <high fives Mania> Fellow reptile lovers unite! I see a bunch of dead squirrels and rabbits and such lying in the road where I live because they get hit all the time... but seeing one dead snake just makes me bawl. D:

Well.. If nobody is around to tame the rare then I would say it would be ok to kill for the achievement. This would reset it's spawn timer sooner and allow for other rares to spawn.

I'll clarify again: I don't like the idea of myself killing those beasts. I don't mind other people killing them at all - hell, a non-tameable rare is always Kill on Sight for me! I love killing rares, I just personally don't want to kill the tameable ones.

Well I was at first like this but when you do pvp your gonna run into a hunter with a rare pet eventually and your gonna have to kill it. Like Veph said though. I would make sure no other hunter wanted the pet first. The pet will despawn eventually and if someone else is gonna kill it then you might as well yourself.

People who won't shut up about any of the following on YouTube comments:
Bieber
Gaga
Slipknot
Panic at the Disco
LP
"REAL MUSIC"
Murdering people
Sob stories about their lives that are obviously fake

Honestly, I even like a couple of those bands but honest to GOD when I'm trying to listen to music I want them to be quiet. :/

How hard worldwide things are. -.- It can't be that hard to buy from an EU store when you're in the US and vice versa!

Also the fact that my eyes are barely staying open. Damn medication.
