I take back all my previous grumps on this thread.
One of my sisters, who turned 31 just nine days ago, whose first and only daughter is not even 6 months old yet, has been diagnosed with cancer. I did not ask what stage because our mother died from cancer and she just found out, and I know that that thought was weighing in her mind a lot.
I am going to be burying myself into the game when I'm not in class, save the day I'm going to go visit her (it's an expensive trip). I'm sorry if I'm a little touchy/cold on an OOC level to anyone in any way as a result of this. If I start acting too much like a (bleep), please let me know it might be time for me to sign off and do something else.

I am so sorry to hear about this. If you need someone to be bitchy at, I volunteer. I also accept long rants and cry sessions.
Being from where it rains, I always get a laugh out of how poorly people in Las Vegas drive when the weather is something other than sunny.
It's also fun seeing all the different ways weather people try to vary "hot and sunny"
I know, right? I've been in this damn city for 2 months now and I'm just amazed how truly awful the drivers can be. This is the only place I've been where people actively block you from changing lanes. I'd seen people blocking you from moving before, but never people holding a position and only speeding up beside you when you hit the signal. F*** everybody.

I'm so sorry to hear this. Cancer is a f****ing bitch. It's a fear that weighs on my mind every day, due to the strong prevalence of it on my mother's side of the family. I'm constantly fearing the phone call.

I'm so sorry, you and yours have my sympathies. I've seen too many of my friends and family loose people to cancer, it cuts deep. Don't talk too often I know, but I'm always around if random internet people need to be talked too or at.

I hate having vivid nightmares. I also hate that some of my loved ones think it is okay to wait over an hour before texting me back to assure me that they have not fallen victim to the zombie apocalypse.
As a general rule, I never let Lusternia take priority over any real-world opportunity to be social or spend some time with my family. I do this so I can tell myself I'm being healthy and responsible with my niche hobby.
But jeez would I rather be rehearsing a play than having crappy food in a noisy sports bar.
So now almost every night my dreams revolve solely around preparing tax returns. It sucks and i need help
I have had dreams where I am programming. A few times, I solved a problem that stumped me during the day in my sleep, and the solution worked the next day. I hope someday we can tap into that power directly.
Also, I have had nightmares where I was back at old jobs and I couldn't escape the office. Those were worrying indeed.
Also, rant of my own, the heel sole of my boots came lose, and I stepped on the nail. Didn't go into my foot luckily, but I had to write them off. I could take them back in for repairs, they had new heel soles placed two years ago, but the leather in the folds meanwhile has become so damaged they have to go. So I decided that there is a time to mend and a time to chuck, put them into the textile donation bag, and bought new boots online. 6 years of good service, I'd say that was money well spent. I am however positively surprised that with my small shoe size I was able to find boots that I like and didn't break the bank.

That happens to me surprisingly often, actually. Sometimes I lose sleep from waking up and feeling I need to capture the idea, but the process gets my mind too far awake to drift back off. I mean, that happened both of the last two nights, that's how normal that is.
I hate misplacing stuff. Couldn't find my brush and my waterbottle this morning and almost got late for work because of the search. Then it turned out that I had nothing that I could eat for breakfast because I forgot to go grocery shopping. So now, I am sitting at work with my stomach grumbling and nothing to drink (I usually do not take my wallet with me since I live next to the place I am working) even though I should probably drink a lot because I am going to donate blood plasma in the afternoon.
After attending the funeral of my wife's uncle yesterday, I woke up from a nightmare last night, imagining in great detail how he died. It made me incredibly nauseated.
I have a friend who, every time I start playing Baldur's Gate on Steam, will always start playing it about 10 minutes after. It's like reminding people of an addiction
I have about ten unplayed games in my Xbox 360 catalog, including a couple I got for Christmas in 2012, and it's so hard to pass up the big discounts on more games. My poor hard drive is overly full.

There is way too much to be done during Lent.
Everiine is a man, and is very manly. This MAN before you is so manly you might as well just gender bend right now, cause he's the manliest man that you ever did see. His manly shape has spurned many women and girlyer men to boughs of fainting. He stands before you in a manly manerific typical man-like outfit which is covered in his manly motto: "I am a man!"
Daraius said: You gotta risk it for the biscuit.
Pony power all the way, yo. The more Brontaurs the better.
It's like Deus Ex (or Human Revolution) every time it's brought up, someone will start playing it.
Or in my case, Final Fantasy 8... damnit.
Damn you.
My list of shame is 51 unique games, and two DLC. Estimated at 64 days of game time. Granted, Baldur's Gate 1 and 2 are on there, and so is Oblivion. This does not include any rogue-like games that I own, or open-ended things like Anno, nor most of the multiplayer stuff like Civ V, and let's not even consider MMOs and MOBAs. And I still manage to go like 'I have nothing I feel like playing'. Waah When someone says that money does not buy happiness, I think of my gaming backlog. But heh, it could be worse, I could be a smoker and have spent that money ruining my lungs (no offense smokers).

I hate my veins. They decided to swell so we had to stop the donation process early because the needle pierced the other side of the vein a bit, causing a haematoma. At first, I was hesitant to say something but when it hurt more than usual, I asked a nurse to check and soon had three doctors around me telling me that is was nothing big and no cause to worry...though they immediately pulled out the needle, put a very tight pressure bandage on and told me to rest. I wonder how it looks though I am not allowed to take off the bandage for another 4 hours.
Now, I am feeling slightly dizzy and can't move my left arm since the bandage is very stiff and my muscles and veins hurt at every movement. So no RP or bashing for me today...
At least, I mastered the art of one-handed eating, floor wiping and grocery shopping. But my one-handed typing isn't fast enough for anything game-related.

I'm horrible at managing my free time now that I have a job, throw in that other issues like family and such interrupting, and it becomes super difficult to properly finish certain games.

It's stupid, when said games are Android ports of my childhood (FF6 and Baldur's Gate 2)
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!
