9 times out of 10, I get my hair cut just for the wash / head massage-y.
I went to a random cosmetology school to get my hair cut a couple weeks ago. They had massage chairs I could lounge in while I got my hair shampooed. It was a revelation. I will be doing this again.
Wait.
Wat.
Hol' up.
Massage chair.
Plus hair shampoo.
I need this in my life.
tbh I didn't even know WORA had a wiki until today. Like, was not kidding when I recently said I only went there for the bad descs thread.
I miss the bad descs thread.
It's alright.
I drink enough to make up for some of ya.

I'd ask to be a Mermaid Princess but I don't wanna seem too greedy (a) and Princesses usually have a harder time going off on Grand Adventures (b).
But I wanna hassle pirates. While also managing a portion of the ocean and making sure fish pay their proper taxes of pretty shells.
Look I just gotta know...
...can I be a Mermaid Duchess?
I knew a R'lyeh, but I played PernWorld off and on so many times that I have no idea if it would've been the first or not at this point. >.>
I find it kind of wild how so many nWoD players played PernMUSH, but not other Pern games, whereas I played a ton of Pern games but never PernMUSH. XD
@Ghost And here I thought you were complaining more about the tube steak than the pastel meat grinder.
He loves my tube steak.

Damn it. I could have made an amazingly popular character if he could secrete baby oil, lube, or pumpkin scented hand lotion on queue.
Shit, I nearly lost my coffee at the idea of a character secreting pumpkin-scented hand lotion.

@Auspice That beats my dad, who was so proud of the year he got a refund (it was the only time ever) he did the same -- and the check was for $1 exactly.
And my father is such a cheapass that he cashed it.
I would have framed that for posterity.
So would I. Right up there on the wall, to look proudly upon.
I have a buddy who has been with the same job for years and has been fiddling with his deductions the whole time.
All so he could get to this year.
Where he's owed $0.01.
And is having the IRS mail him the check.
I had to shed a tear at the glory of it all.

I'm not familiar with BSU and I'm always interested in new games. What kind is this, if you don't mind me asking?

It's a Battlestar Galactica game set during the 1st war. Meaning while having seen the show is useful, it's not required. Faraday's done fantastic work providing all you need to know on the wiki and most of us on the game (I'm Niemec there) are happy to help answer questions. 
It's easy... and by easy, I mean it doesn't demand a lot of energy from me. It's a way I can engage with people, even if I'm physically 'shot' enough that just getting out of bed is hard. Just because I may be having a shit fibro day doesn't mean I may not want to be able to interact with people and chat and have fun. I can have fun and RP and 'hang' all while kicking back on the couch in my PJs.
Especially lately... I can't play video games because of the migraines. And I largely avoid going out because of the vertigo. Sometimes I can't RP. But I'm more likely to be able to RP than anything else (even if I've had to bow out a number of times or keep to slow/one-on-one scenes).
I enjoy roleplay/TT stuff, but my shyness can kick in hardcore in person. I have a really, really hard time getting "in character" in LARP, TT, etc. I want to, but I clam up and shut down because I just can't perform, as it were. I get scared. MU*ing is a way of engaging in the activity without the fear, for me.
Lastly, what's kept me around (besides the people <3) is that it allows me to practice my writing. I can try out styles, 'voices,' dialogue methods, different characters, etc.. TS lets me practice sex scenes. Combat scenes let me work out writing out fight scenes that 'flow' visually. Playing male characters helps me practice writing a realistic character that's not my own RL gender. And if I'm ever uncertain about things, I can generally get real time feedback (I've found people are, in general, pretty great if I go 'Hey, I've never played <X> before, how am I doing?').

I was having a bad day once. Like one of those days that you either need to cry or break something because NOTHING is going right. So I swung into a Great Clips. I walked in and was like I would like my hair washed and blow dried please. No style. No cut. Just please wash and dry it. --- They did.
My day improved.
Totally legit.
Some people do retail therapy when depressed; I get my hair cut. Just for that experience. It can do wonders.
9 times out of 10, I get my hair cut just for the wash / head massage-y.
And most folks are more than happy to help answer queries if you do happen to come across something you don't understand. Generally, however, yeah- you can get by without. Faraday's even written up her own planetary info (and each planet has listed on the wiki its RL equivs for society/cultures).
...I want to look like a space princess.
Unfortunately, clearly, I cannot afford to- damnit.
I've been trying to soldier through. Some days it just does not work. Today was one of them- I was fucking up stuff with work that I haven't in years. I couldn't function. Just a week more on the preventatives before I schedule the first infusion. Hopefully it all does the trick.
