Alternately: SE's Beautiful Billing System. sadjfhkdjgh

Whoops, meant to cut this. FFXI DRAMA! )

Other things: I apparently magically developed an allergy to sunlight (OF ALL THINGS) sometime during the winter. Yes, we have finally worked out why I have been so damned itchy lately. It is sunlight. Why. I had thought for a while that it was a reaction to different laundry soap but then that was disproved, and then I thought it was my bedding and that was disproved, and then I thought oh shit it is my pills except then I remembered I was scratching at my arms the day I got the prescription so okay no it's not that, either... I had noticed it got worse after I'd been outside, but didn't become an issue if I wore long sleeves or if it was raining or whatever. And then one day I wore sunscreen and - huh. No itch. And then one day after that, I forgot it, and next thing I know, I'm doing my whole AAAAAUGH MUST REMOVE THE FLESH IT ITCHES IT ITCHES clawing-at-arms routine. Not happy about this, but at least I finally know the cause.

Also, half my coworkers are being massive jerks and possibly trying to kill me or something, and corporate continues to make bad, employee-stressing decisions. Had a minor meltdown after work on the 3rd (no doubt the whole XI-account business related to that some, to be fair). I have really got to get out of here. C'mon, self. Start job hunting, already. Please?
(The "big cherries" bit does not really fit, to my somewhat-Latin-trained ear, but it's still kind of funny, maybe?)


ANYWAY: Squeenix makes FFXIV free to play indefinitely. Be right back, rolling on floor laughing.

... Really, I was standing up (we'd moved the chair over by the window to stand on for hanging lights) when my brother IM'd me that and I sank to the floor in giggles. (READ IT.)



Meanwhile, the FFXI update has been exactly as awesome as promised. I've unlocked all the job emotes I'm currently capable of obtaining (only THF, DRG, DRK, WAR, BLM, and NIN - my only jobs level 30+), and NOW I MUST COLLECT MORE, except that takes time and energy that I don't have, instead of just performing a simple fetch quest.



I don't really have much to say that anyone would have an interest in (FFXI and XIV fit there, too, but those are too good to pass up). Feeling depressed and unappreciated and annoying. Don't know why (other than the obvious "my brain is stupid"). Too early for SAD to be setting in. Putting a cramp in card-production, but one's in the mail and most of the others are at least in progress. Unrelated, there's no hot water in the apartment, we don't know why. At house today baking Christmas cookies with my Mom. Deliciousss.


Blah, blah, blah, boring, boring girl. Sorry.
