| ....Twinkings are bad, okay? |
[06 Jul 2008|01:53pm] |
Dude. You do not need to be a part of every post.
Every plot does NOT need to revolve around you or one of your characters. And the fact that every time we call you on this you go in your corner and sulk because OMG WE DON'T LOVE YOU. When we call you on it it's because we're tired of you twinking it up.
Your character can't read minds. Make sure you're responding to something that's in quotes.
We've gone over the outline for one of my character's weddings multiple times. The fact that you suddenly decided that you wanted to have one of your characters - out of the blue - hit another WITH A FOLDING CHAIR for NO REASON is not cool. Thank God you brought this up in chat before you decided to do it in the thread.
Also, your other character? Stop thinking that everyone will let you do anything you want with them. You won't be granted access to advanced technology because you're the new guy! Someone is not going to give you access to something that could make their child paralyzed again just because you think your character should have it.
Also, don't act so surprised that the character you wanted to ship yours with went and dumped your character's ass. Because HE WAS SLEEPING AROUND. For your information? There isn't a girl in the world that would take that news and be like, "OMG DO ME NOW, I LUV YOU MORE THAN ANYTHING!"
Most girls wouldn't have let you get the conversation as far as you did. Most girls would've hung up on you instantly, likely after a lot of swearing and screaming.
Seriously. Things will go so much better for you if you stop trying to make every plot and every thread The Amazing Adventures of Your Character (and his collection of not as cool or awesome friends).
Just knock it off. You're a decent writer. You're just the Chuck Austin of RP'ers at the moment.
Stop the twinking. For the love of god, just stop.

| Phoenix Fun |
[06 Jul 2008|09:18am] |
Okay, so, here I am in Phoenix, and I am all moved in. By "all moved in", I mean that all of my things are in the apartment and most are lying around in the living room, in their boxes. Haha, okay, I did unpack quite a bit, including my computer and desk, some bookshelves, about half of the dishes, and all bathroom things. Eventually I'll get a bed. Right now I have a blow-up mattress which is...I haven't decided whether it's comfortable or not.
Dad was a huge help yesterday and the day before. We got both cars unloaded in about an hour and a half, while the weather was relatively still cool. He bought me snacks and lunch (yay Sweet Tomato, yay), paid part of my small purchases in my initial visit to IKEA, and helped me evaluate furniture at said IKEA. He left in the afternoon for Palm Springs, and hopefully he hooked up with his friends Dennis and Larry for dinner and fun times at their Palm Springs vacation hacienda.
I spent yesterday putting together some furniture and setting up things how I like it. It's been pretty fun!
( Apartment assessment - pros and cons )
So yeah, that's how I find it. I have to note, as I've done so before, that this place is better than anything I had in Santa Cruz, and that includes the apartments on campus. It's also half the price. I also saved over $2000 when I moved in thanks to some sort of happy signing bonus.
I did my initial shopping at Trader Joe's, and will do the buying of staples and basics today. There are some small pieces of domesticity that I still need, such as a kitchen trashcan, cleaning supplies, push pins, and other small matters. For some of the decor, I want to buy yards of fabric at IKEA and then mount them to canvas frames, making a modern and hip statement of Fabric as Art. I believe that to do this, I'll need a staple gun.
But what I really want to do is relax and read my "Weird Arizona" book, which is mostly pictures.

[06 Jul 2008|05:51am] |
I pose a situation at you, my fellow RPers, and I ask your opinion on my reaction to it. Maybe I'm the one who is in the wrong, but I'm feeling really abused here, and I'm just curious as to what the rest of you think. [This is really teal...but if anyone has the time to read it and give me an honest opinion I would really appreciate it. I'm kinda at my wit's end here...]( Once upon a time... ) |

Let's say you are in a game that has two mods. You are not one of them. You are very enthusiastic and keep going to the mods with ideas for scenes you want to run. And the mods are happy you are enthusiastic so they keep saying 'sure' and step back to let you do your thing.
Do you:
a) bitch behind the mods' backs about how they don't really mod and make you do all the work?
b) bitch behind the mods' backs about how they are trying to steal your ideas?
c) start telling other people they can't ask the mods for permission to run *their* scenes because that's YOUR job?
d) all of the above?
So your fellow players tell the mods that you are both being a bully and talking about the mods behind your back. One of the mods confronts you, at which point, you say:
a) Everyone makes me feel like it's my responsibility to run everything.
b) People are always asking me to run scenes that I don't want to run!
c) Could you please run this scene instead of me?
d) all of the above?
The mod promises to take care of everything and gives you the benefit of the doubt, and arranges all the things you just asked for. You post a friendslocked LJ entry that says :
a) The mod stole your scene and wouldn't let you run it!
b) The mod told you that you're not allowed to run scenes anymore!
c) The mod is trying to kick you out of the game!
d) all of the above?
Then you change your facebook status to bitch about the mods. Is this classy, y/n?

Things that I forgot that I'll need for my dorm:
- Desklamp
- Plates, cutlery, coffee mugs (Can handle the mugs, need durable plastic dishes)
- Towels
- Safe of some kind, thinking standard firesafe
- Some kind of portable and conveniant closet organizer
- Cleaning supplies
- Dry erase board (Optional but actually a really good idea)
- Extra USB drives
...this sucks. A lot. I don't have the money for any of this shit, and my mom just spent all the money she had on getting me the new laptop. >.< Damn.
I hate asking this, like seriously fucking hate it, but if there is anyone in the general Michigan area or even the Indiana/Ohio area that would be willing to part with any items found on either of these lists that they may have lying around...I'll blow you.
Honestly, I am financially fucked and hand-me-downs are completely welcome at this point. As a poor child growing up with older girl cousins and a big brother, I'm more than accepting of them. It's conditioned behaviour.

I think this has gone on for long enough.
I understand you do not like this player. Oh trust me we've all had our fair share of people we don't like however I think you're dragging out this "dislike" into grudge over a petty little thing. Going "omg they did this today" is that really helping you or anyone for that matter?
Other then the past what have they done to you? Are they using their characters as a mouth piece to attack you? Have they blatantly caused drama in the community to stir up trouble for you?
No? Then stop your bitching.
Yes? Then take it to a moderator.
Really complaining every day in a personal journal? If it bothers you that much ignore them. Scroll past their journal entries. Being passive aggressive and acting like a child isn't going to get you anywhere.
It's starting to become grudge wank.

... never there.
I think that this is the most irritating thing that one must come across in their roleplaying adventures. For one, these people are EXACTLY what you need to crave your rolelpay-mania. They're at whatever level you are, they balance your plot ideas with their own, their character gets along with your character, they're friendly IRL - it isn't every day that you come across someone that is just so much fun to roleplay with. At first, you get going at full speed, running along at an average post-count. It could be better, but hey, these people are amazing, right? You can put up with them, if it means that you'll get one more post out of them.
Slowly, however, these posts become once a day, and even when you're talking to them on some sort of messenger, and you mention the roleplay, they'd go "Uhh you want a post?"
FIRST of all. I'm only talking to you because I want a post. Why the hell else would I randomly be talking to someone I don't even know?! HUH? God. Some of these people need to be told straight to their face.
SECOND of all. How about when I answer, yes, I would like a post? Shouldn't you run along and work on it? It's only fair - especially when you say you will. I come back an hour later, hopefully, and find... my email empty. EMPTY!
This finally putters out to nothing. I don't hear from you, you don't hear from me. Meanwhile, I'm crying on the inside. This Amazing Roleplayer, I have come to learn...
... is a douche on the inside.
The End.

This requires pimping simply for the fact that it's Tim Roth fucking Julia Ormond on the floor of a public toilet.
And when I say fucking on the floor of a public toilet, I mean it seriously looks like they're going at it. On the floor. Of a public toilet cubicle. Oh, Captives. Damn good film when it comes to pornographic sequences and filthy dirty looks being shared between people. I think tonight's Daily Tim will end up dedicated to it.
...nnnnguh.
Okaaaay. On top of that...today has been good. I did nothing the entire day. I think I actually sat around watching Law & Order for pretty much the whole thing, along with getting bored and reading really shitty Charmed fanfics. Meh. I think that really expresses how dire of a situation that it was.
I also went to Dairy Queen. The diet has been good, I had plenty of points left for the day, so I treated myself to a cherry Arctic Rush. Oh yeah.

You suck.
You? REALLY suck.
Forgetting the backstabbing, double-talking, whatever whatever? You are the FLAKIEST mod person ever. EVER ever.
Why? You open comms, you close comms, you OPEN them again, only to shut them down two months later. Overhaul comms, 'No really, this time it's for YOU guys' and send people on their way.
And really? Let's not get into the whole 'THIS IS THE LAST TIME EVER EVER EVER PROMISE!'. Because, really?
You just suck.
And? We'll see you in six months when your *cough*adoring crowds*cough* pull you back in for ONE LAST TIME.

Tell me something. Please.
How often, really, in life, do you sit down next to a complete stranger and just start telling them your life story?
Because if that is something you do, please tell me so I can avoid like the plague the places you're going to be? As far as I'm concerned, that is NOT a normal human interaction. "Hello there! I'm Tommy! I just lost my entire family and I'm so very alone!"
Uhhh.... no? So then why, on god's green earth, has that happened to me in RP at least four times this past week?
Your characters sound like crazy people, for god's sake!

Autism =/= Mute.
Yes some autistic people may be mute, yet you assume that all of them are with your misinformed statement; they are NOT the same thing. One dose not automatically make you the other. I know. My kid is autistic. Speaks just fine thank you very much.
They are different things, different birth problems, or in the case of being mute, sometimes a result of something tragic. Just because your character might have autism does not mean they are incapable of speech and also depending on the severity of the autism you’re not going to be doing certain things.
Having severe autism you are not going to be a teenaged (as in 14) martial arts expert and linguistic expert bad assed, hottie, ass kicking, bimbo. Where the hell do you come up with these ideas?

Guess where I went today! :D
We don't really go very far these days, due to money, so I booked tickets to London months ago as a kind of joint birthday treat for like everyone else in my family. And, unlike last year's fiasco, the journey there went really well! The weather decided to defy the forecast and be absolutely beautiful, the Natural History Museum's only gotten better in the last 13 years, and my timing is unconsciously AWESOME, because we came out from the Piccadilly Underground station to get some food...
And wandered straight into the London Pride parade. ( Cut for London fangirling. )
There is a point to all this babble, I swear. I'm building up to something.
( It seems I have a lot to say. )

| Sort of moral dillema... |
[05 Jul 2008|04:26pm] |
I read something that a person I RP with wrote that really, really personally offended me. The subject matter is already controversial, but it was the way that they said it that absolutely disgusted me. It took me everything not to just rip them a new one.
It makes me question if I really want to RP with them. I know that most people say that personal preferences/opinions shouldn't have anything to do with it, but it just really threw me for a loop. I don't want to be an asshole and just leave because of that, but at the same time I don't know how I can really doing it knowing that they said something that...ignorant.
If I think it's to the point where I just can't RP, should I just drop it? I know it'd make me bad, but 1.) it's not like it's this in-depth heavily-involved RP, more just slow-progressing and for fun, and 2.) I know that, from here on out, that's all I'll be able to think of.
I hate getting into ethical/political/social arguments, but this was something that hit really close to home, and guh, I don't know what to do...
EDIT: Tried to talk things out really nicely. Turns out that they're kind of a bigger c**t than I thought. So really, really unlikely that any RP will happen between us in the future. From what they've said in response to me though, I'm actually kind of relieved that I got out of it early :/ Everyone loves drama llamas.
