.... :B I'm not as ambitious as MC. *shot*
'x3;;; So umm.... Yeah I.. haven't been very active the past few days even for me. .... And I have been so relaxed and it's wonderful. When I think about threads on VC, I'm actually starting to WANT to reply to them again, even outside the like three or four that I was still pretty invested in. That said, when I come look at them to try, I suddenly can't.
\o/ But the point is the desire is coming back, so my muse is slowly regrowing. With a little more time I think I might actually be able to pick things up decently again.
I will still try to keep up a few when I can and also start at least one thread with Eli because it's dumb that I finished a major plot character and now he's not doing any major plotting. But I don't think I'll be logging in every day.
Outside of VC, I have picked up three major games. :B;;
Of course, I returned to WoW a little over a month ago, and have now been quite absorbed in it. At least I'm proving meanie-face Thomas wrong who refused to get me time for so long because "you never play it D:". x3;;;
\o/ Also I have a new guild and they seem pretty great so far if a little lazy sometimes but I'm still in the process of judging them, and within this guild I have a new friend who is as big a Lore geek as I am and it is wonderful to finally have someone to rant to who knows what I'm talking about and can provide insightful feedback and is interested in my feedback to what they say and yeah. x3; Several of you should know I have been looking for a friend like this for ages so I am happy.
Also it's a holiday event right now, and hopefully getting all the achievements for that won't take long but I'll be especially absorbed until I get them because in past years I've put it off and then missed the event entirely and this is one of the last two World Events I need to have done everything in all of them (and as a reward get a free purple dragon I can ride and a boost in flight speed that usually costs more gold than I care to pay (I can GET it but it takes a while and I'd rather spend it on other things than go broke on one) also for free :B).
Also, we recently got Lord of the Rings: War of the North for PS3. (WAY BETTER THAN SKYRIM BTW,,,, (I wish there was more decision/consequence than there appears to be but if I want that I'll play Dragon Age))
\o/ IT HAS LOCAL CO-OP.
Getting used to the splitscreen has been annoying, but since I like shared-screen co-op and hubby likes horizontal splitscreen co-op, the side-by-side split was kind of a compromise in the first place and it's growing on both of us a bit. (<_< Though one reason I like shared is it DOES limit movement a bit meaning he can't run so far ahead of me every time I stop to do anything.) But yes aside from a few little things it is super fun and it is hubby and I getting to do something fun together that is new and fairly different and doesn't require going anywhere or spending any more money than the game costed.
So on his days off I may not log in. He works today and tomorrow, and then Fri/Sat/Sun this week. Then his next two-day work interval (for those who don't know, he works 12-hr shifts, and so works/is off for two and three days at a time, alternating days each week) he put in for time off so he'll be off for an entire week. During THAT time,the game is almost certain to get boring and/or he'll want to go do something with his dad or friends and I may be on as 'much' (:B which is to say as little but still better than not at all?) as on his work-days, but (see bottom of post) may, depending on how things go, not be on but a few brief glances worth all week. Just so there's warning.
And then lastly I--.........
I'm playing another game online that I... I swear it is more addictive than it sounds but I still feel dumb for it so uh... It is less stupid than FarmVille or Neopets or Gaia, but more stupid than the other games I said, so... :B;; Anyway I have been playing it a lot and it is fun and addicting.
'x3;; BUT YES so now you guys know where I have been/will be.
If I'm NEEDED for anything, several of you have my Facebook, which I am usually on for messaging purposes. Actually my Facebook should be linked right over there---> if you don't have it. If you don't have a Facebook yourself and don't want to get one, as Jay or Tere or Flora or Elayne or Dare or I'm pretty sure most or all staff members and several non-staff have it, just ask who can hop on to ask/tell me whatever needs asked/told.
If I'm not on FB, see if you can find Dare or Jaxa (he lurks in the box sometimes; you probably won't see him talk but check who's online and you might be able to message him through Chatango's private chat) to ask them to check for me in WoW. (x3; Technically, any of you could also sign up for a WoW trial account and look for me yourselves if it was that urgent but that is getting quite complicated so I'll leave out the details unless someone wants them and what no I'm not trying to rope you all into playing with me I'm not gonna try to do that until the next expansion comes out and there are essentially-Pokemon in WoW. :B)
If I'm not on FB OR WoW, I'm probably not online- either playing LotR:WotN or watching a movie or out of the house or, rarely, maybe even doing that thing called 'sleeping', or something of the sort. Rarely, I MIGHT be online but on neither, in which case Flora or Riku MIGHT be able to message me on the third game (through a PM not an IM), but usually if that's the case it's like 3am and/or I'm about to get offline "soon" (times may vary *shot*) anyway.
x3;;; I love you guys so much and I will be trying to keep up SOME activity/become more active when I can but this has been so wonderful, really. WoW always has its share of retardation but I'm actually on a pretty good server comparitively and my guildies are all super nice now so generally anything that's annoying or stressful I can either quit right away or only have to put up with for a short time and never see again. And playing console with hubby we snap at each other a bit as expected but for the most part it's fun and much better quality time than just watching stuff together; that's nice too but this has us actually doing something and working together and it's nice. :B And the other thing I pretty much don't have to talk to anyone ever; the only people I really have to deal with in any way are other people bidding on auctions against me and if they win I'm like DAMMIT but it's cool and I can just look for more stuff later and yeah. x33
No drama, no stress, no major responsibilities, just... calm.. relaxing... Man I feel like a jerk.. x3;;; In a way I swear it's mostly the responsibilities and stress related there-to but at the same time it's like "wow am I running from my admin duties? I don't know whether that's more cowardly or just sad wow..." I don't mean it like that I swear I did tell you guys where to find me if I'm needed just... :B;; OH THERE WE GO, I just TRUST YOU ALL to be cool in my absence. I haven't been doing much here anyway, just logging on and being in the box and getting mad at myself for having no muse, so now I've found stuff to do that's actually helping it even if slowly so yeah. x3;;
HOPEFULLY THIS WON'T BE LONG and like maybe after hubby's long break or something I'll be raring to go at least on his workdays if we haven't finished the game by then. The way he plays we probably will but then we played a ton for two days this past weekend and are only on level/chapter 3, so? x3; ANYWAY yes hopefully muse recovery back when I can blah blah stuff stuff I love you all.
\o/ AND NOW OFF TO TALK TO GHOSTS IN WOW AND GET MY ACHIEVEMENTS. *poofs*
=================================================
EDIT - 4:37pm
Scratch the part about might be online a decent amount during Thom's week off. Also scratch the lack of stress.
My dad just called after I finished posting this and apparently my little brother is extremely sick, and has been for a week and a half now, and doctors have no idea what is wrong with him, but they're currently- like right now as I'm typing- testing him for some sort of spinal infection? Apparently he hasn't been able to go to school or work and can barely even really walk very far without getting so dizzy he almost falls out and I don't know but apparently it's pretty serious whatever it is.
So during that week off, I'm probably going to see if we can't go up there to visit. Just in case and all...... <:X

Saying "SG rants a lot" is like saying "Longcat is long".
