Is anyone I know planning on attending BotCon this year?





(day 28 is coming, I swear, just, they put Triple Triad into FFXIV and I HAVE A PROBLEM, OKAY?!)

I guess this is the month for people announcing they have Dreamwidth accounts or something. Since I haven't done as much yet --> here I am over there. (Fair warning: I haven't officially migrated yet, and it never updates. Though I will probably import soon, and then I'll have to. At least I already suffered through figuring it all out!)

I also just added it to my profile info, so. Whee?
Had a low day.

And yet, it was strangely devoid of me thinking everyone I've ever been within fifty meters of hates me and thinks I'm an idiot and only tolerates my presence so they can laugh at me as soon as I'm out of earshot.


what is this even



(I also spent, what, four whole days being social without once having to go off into a corner and collapse into a black hole of anxiety and self-loathing and exhaustion or turn into an angry, snarling beast. I guess I should be assuming that, even if the pills, themselves, are not directly working, I am experiencing a pretty decent placebo effect.)



To make this entry halfway interesting, Thursday afternoon, right as I had to leave to start walking to work, the clouds suddenly opened up and started pouring. The rain came down so hard and so fast that, within seconds, there was quite literally a solid inch of water raging along all of the streets and sidewalks. KIND OF TERRIFYING. Ten minutes later, there was one final clap of thunder aaand... nothing. Not to be horridly cliché, but it was exactly as if someone had suddenly turned the faucet back to "off"...

And then my shoes were wet and squeaky all afternoon! At least I didn't have to run around in the freezer.

Heard this version of "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" the other day.



Friggin' other reindeer... That is how it should have ended in the first place!
I'm just going to toss up my AFK post now. So you'll have a few days free of my whining, but then I'll probably be back Saturday night complaining about everything and griping about how miserable the trip was. So, uh. Sorry in advance for that. Someday I'll post things worth reading, surely. >_>;

... Possibly someday he will learn that celebrating quitting smoking with a cigarette is counterproductive?

Alternately, it's Mom's fault for going away to Florida and leaving him home alone, despite his choosing not to come with us because he had no interest. Because that makes sense. (ANYTHING BUT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR HIS OWN ACTIONS.)

Pro tip, no longer having a smoker's hack does not actually mean you should start smoking again.

It actually really amuses me that, whenever I tell anyone about the circumstances that led to the current situation between my father and me, literally everyone says, at the same point in the tale, some variation of, "omg, did you hit him?"


I mean, in their defense, I did nearly break my laptop over his head. (That I couldn't afford a new one and hadn't backed up recently were pretty much the only things that stopped me.)
Come on. I know Spark seems like a weird name to have, considering the whole 'life force' thing, but do keep in mind "spark" has other meanings and, perhaps more importantly, that sparks didn't exist in canon until Beast Wars retconned them into existence in 1996. (That said, if you're just having fun with it, knock yourselves out.)



I am ridiculously glad the BotCon set is G2-themed and hope it continues to include characters I don't especially care about in paint schemes I find hilariously painful. ... OKAY SO THAT SECOND PART IS KIND OF A GIVEN. Still.






ALSO, KINDA LATE, BUT it's free cone day at Ben & Jerry's! Get to a scoop shop before 8 pm!
