The good news, its a fairly common injury and should be recovered in a week or two and can still work while I recover.
Meanwhile, the bad news. Walking, ouch! Standing up from sitting down, or going up/down stairs - god help me. And I have the gait of an 80 year old until I recover.
Knee injuries suck. I hurt my knee playing beach volleyball about 4 years ago....comes back and gives me grief if i sit in a tight space. It's why I now hate driving long distances, sitting in movie theaters, etc.

Cyndarinused Flamethrower! It was super effective.
Apparently the idea of naming a building full of books after George W Bush was so stunning, 4 other presidents had to show up in Dallas today to see it for themselves.
For real, getting anywhere in Dallas is a currently a nightmare.

I know your pain. During the boom, our population here in St. George, UT took off faster than city planners had expected. Now there is more traffic on our roads than they are designed for. Add in the fact that there is a large college population AND a large retired population here, traffic is always nuts. I don't leave my house unless I absolutely have to, unless it's late at night. It often takes me 15-20 minutes to drive less than a mile from my first job to my second.
I should be meeting other Lusternians right now, but I am not. This is deeply incredibly disappointing frustrating. I do not believe this opportunity will arise again in the near future.
Suppose I might get yelled at for the rave at the end of this, but a happy ending after a rant can be therapeutic.
Ever since I was diagnosed with Aspergers some 13 years ago, I've made a promise to not let it be an issue, that I'd live trying to ignore it exists and not use it as an explanation for anything I do wrong, so it doesn't come off an excuse.
Yet I hate how it means I'm utterly incapable of certain things, especially understanding subtleties and nuances in roleplay, trying to understand when people say something and mean something else, or how they interpreted what I said into something that is completely not what I meant. While I try I find myself attempting the literal version of running into a brick wall, I have to do the one thing I loathe to do with RP and that is to make compromises OOCly, it's meta, but any character I've ever made in RP has been blunt and to the point, because it's the only form of communication I can maintain on a day to day basis.
So raves to the guys and girls who I've spoken to on this and understand and work with me to make RP enjoyable, I'm sorry if any of you have had to compromise character for this. I appreciate it
Occasionally I'll wonder if the ADHD I was diagnosed with as a child was simply Aspergers. Most of my life, I've exhibited more and more symptoms of both, or at least what I've read of both. More and more, I have trouble picking up on common things I could before, I don't connect with people like I do, I'm always socially awkward, and lately, I've been getting pissed off at small things, snapping at people for reasons I shouldn't.
Everiine said: The reason population is low isn't because there are too many orgs. It's because so many facets of the game are outright broken and protected by those who benefit from it being that way. An overabundance of gimmicks (including game-breaking ones), artifacts that destroy any concept of balance, blatant pay-to-win features, and an obsession with convenience that makes few things actually worthwhile all contribute to the game's sad decline.
So as awesome as Iceland is, they have the single worst beer in existence there. (Seriously if you ever get offered Polar Beer just say no, it's beyond foul)
Also because of the way the taps work in my hotel room, EVERYTHING now tastes like sulphur.
And I have Icelandic flu, joy.
(Other than that, Iceland was fricking awesome!)
The divine voice
of Avechna, the Avenger reverberates powerfully, "Congratulations,
Morkarion, you are the Bringer of Death indeed."
You see Estarra the Eternal shout, "Morkarion is no more! Mourn the mortal! But welcome True Ascendant Karlach, of the Realm of Death!
Say "no" to beer? Are you turning into me, now?
Frightening.
(Sulfuric water is even more frightening. Ew.)
Not say no to beer, say no to Polar Beer, it's a brand and is quite frankly the worst beer in existence.
I think Urine would probably taste better. And yeah they have sulphur in the hot tap water, only problem was my hotel had one of those one-tap sinks where you turn it left to right for hot to cold. So even the cold water was sulphuric.

Ehhh... until you've tried Belgian-style Indian pale ale, you haven't tried ghastly beer. Some wonderfully named drink like "Raging Bitch", for instance. I know certain people like it, but I can't comprehend why.
Forgiveness is the fragrance that the violet sheds on the heel that has crushed it.

It's waaaaay too easy to come up with an answer to this one.
I really have no right to be complaining about this, but I got scheduled for a second round job interview.... and they asked to see a code sample from a project that showcases my proficiency in databases, algorithms, and interface design. I have no such code, and they sent me the email telling me this 48 hours before the interview was scheduled. To make matters worse, I spent yesterday with pretty severe stomach pain that made me try to spend as much time as possible sleeping, so now I have 26 hours from the time of this message to think up and implement a program with a GUI that is algorithmically interesting. Even worse, for the interview they want to use a product called join.me to handle the conference call and screen sharing. However... it has no linux binaries, which means I will also need to fiddle with WINE today to get it to run on my computer.
All this during my finals week for my last semester at school, where I'm also finishing a 25-page undergrad history thesis and a 20 page honors thesis. And instead of doing any of these things, I'm paralyzed enough to be sitting here writing this post.
EDIT: join.me was easy to set up at least, without nearly the level of script fiddling I was fearing. But yeah, totally open to any ideas you guys have about cool programs you've always wanted to see on the computer. >_>
Home from work dealing with this sinus infection again. Internet won't be back until Wednesday, though apparently it was working all day yesterday until I got home from work.
Gonna go roll around in menthol and eucalyptus, then crawl into bed and dream of actually getting to use my new arties
The dude mowing my lawn ran over my coax cable, shredding it. I lost my phone, tv, and Internet. #firstworldproblems

Identifying what needs to be done to overcome depression doesn't really help when you can't find the motivation to actually do anything.
