I love goulash. I never thought it was an 'authentic' dish, or anything. I knew where it /originated/ but never thought it was the same. Like we've done with a lot of good food, here in 'Murica.

Right now, I'm in a scene that just popped up from people talking in the OOC lounge. Because people all were like. "You wanna do something?" And there's at least 3 people in this scene that my characters haven't had a chance to meet before now, but now they will.

Wouldn't it have been preferable to have that conversation on a channel though? There could have been someone already on grid waiting for RP, who was excluded from this scene and conversation because they weren't in the OOC room.

Nope. Because I can say there is ONE person on grid that doesn't have an alt in the OOC or in a scene already. Channels can get spammy and people turn them off and forget to turn them on.

I'm super happy. I finally have contacts again, and can get cheap ass sunglasses! Wooo!

How about a game where everyone is treated with respect? That would be a nice change.

Dr. Ford's coming forward and telling a national audience about her trauma 'inspired' a slimeball who assaulted me to post about how you just don't force yourself on a woman who says stop. That was the tipping point. I called him out on Facebook, tagged him and just let people know. He's a professor at a local college, so he came to me all apologetic, ...and then changed his name on FB to a nickname to hide himself from his work entanglements. He confessed with of course the favorite male caveat 'That's not how I remember it", and then came to me to try and manipulate me into silence. "Do you think I should lose my job over this?" "Do I need to get a lawyer?" "The more my name comes up in connection with this incident, the more likely I could lose my job. That's not your problem, per se, but it will have an impact." ... Which is all classic guilt the victim abuser crap 101. And then he wondered why I got angry. I'm still angry. I don't know how to NOT be angry about it. Part of me thinks I should send the screenshots to the college, let them decide. Part of me, the victim in me, doesn't think it should go that far. Which just winds me back up at anger.

Just when someone trashes a storyline they know you're working on... and it eventually comes back on them.

@deathbird It's my favorite quote from Samuel L. Jackson.

@tyche He lied under oath and perjured himself. That alone, should be disqualification.

There was once a scene I got through, even though it was.. pushing limits. I can't go back and read the log, because it creeps me right out.

@il-volpe It sucks when something someone says here, screws with someone who didn't even say it!

@jinshei Makes all the appropriate squealing noises SO cuuuuuuuute.

I desc my characters, but I also like having that picture around, because I am constantly worried my words will not give the full image.

While I love characters having secrets that can be revealed in RP if the opportunity arises.. I have had it go very, very wrong. I will not rehash how.

I'm angry at myself. My body, my stupid fucking body and it's dumb auto immunes that have me sitting here, feeling completely incapable of getting up and going to work like a grown up. It's already obvious it's going to be a high pain day, and with the contacting of HR yesterday for the douchebag screenshots (I'm waiting on a return call) I know my anxiety is going to be high and that shit never helps. My one doctor made it clear to my job in the accomodation paperwork that I would likely miss one day a month... but HR is dragging their feet over that paperwork suddenly, and haven't even 'discussed it' with my supervisor, so I don't dare use it. I'm just.. I need a day. I need to rest. And i can't. And it makes me angry, and still just want to cry.

@insomniac7809 hated game days, because I ALWAYS got stuck in the traffic.

@kk Man, my sister looks adorable in her scrubs. (I am sure men/women not related may think hot or sexy or what have you, but she's my SISTER)

@ganymede you’re amazing. It’s nice to know that there really are real protections for me.

I stopped trying to play/create male characters. I just always felt like I wasn't quite 'there' with those, no matter what those around me said.

@auspice I love this for horrible pain/fatigue days. Sadly, they've been out of two things I order constantly for like the last 6 weeks. Even worse, Walmart is the only place in my city that sells it.
