Ouran High School Host Club is amazing, but don't expect everything to be neat and tidy at the end. Its a show that seems like it was supposed to a second season but it never happened. Doubly frustrating if you've read the manga. >.>
Black Butler is baller.
And Tokyo Mew Mew is ADORABLE.
Yeah, in this case, the person doing the dictating is older than I.
Peeve:
A member of the household wants everyone in the house to try a new diet. Then expects ME to do all the research into recipes that will fall within the diet's parameters, AND the shopping for ingredients, AND the cooking with little to no input or aid from the person who initially wanted to be on the diet. When I wasn't working, fine, whatever, I have all day long to do this stuff. But I'm working. So apparently I should give up all of MY free time to ensure that everyone else can eat accordingly.
I'll admit to not going out of my way to exercise. But I also feel that chasing after two kids, and all the walking around I do at work (in heels, no less!) counts for a good bit of exercise. I could probably stand to do some light weightlifting.. but I'm loathe to give up any personal time I get for something like that when I could be napping or watching a show/movie that I can't watch with kidlets around.
Soda isn't my vice (coffee and e-cig are definitely my vices), but it IS my guilty pleasure. Especially Sprite Zero. For whatever reason, I absolutely LOVE that soda. And I've never been a Sprite fan before.
I have a new diet I'm on to counteract the holiday weight I put on. So far its been working REALLY well. Three weeks and I dropped a pant size! If I can keep this up, I may just make this my normal lifestyle. Its not for the weak of will, however, since you cut out pretty much ALL starches, gluten-free or not. And sugars. Even most fruits are off the menu. Protein and good veggies and that's about it. On the up side, I get to eat all the uncured bacon I want!
He IS. He was the studliest of Mages.
Personally? If it bothers you that much and just talking to the players that are doing it doesn't work, just post a clearly written rule that states a player can only freeze and thaw any one character a set number of times in a year. Might be seen as kind of a 'dick move'... but save your sanity first. Burned out staffers just lead to dead spheres and complaints about 'lack of staff activity'.
Holy crap, R2! LTNS, hope things are going well!
I tend to treat my characters more like I'm playing D&D than anything. I try not to get too attached to them so that when they DO that most awesome/stupid/funny/ballsy/crazy/cool thing and it gets them killed? I can be satisfied that they died well and move on to the next one. I don't WANT to cling or be that invested into my characters... that way lies HM & TR madness. I want to be able to acknowledge that nWoD/GMC is a lethal world to play in and accept the fact that my character will likely die (or get boring, or have the sphere go dead, etc.) and be okay with dropping them in favor of something shinier.
Mind, this does not mean I would suggest 100% xp rollover. But I do like that its easy to drop a character and pick up a new one without wondering if I'll retain interest/stay alive/whatever long enough to make starting from scratch worth it.
Elsa's becoming Prince was certainly the most quoted reason I got when I would ask about Vampire. I even attempted to make a vampire and... bah. Just wasn't even worth it. There was nothing anyone could do. And it REALLY didn't help that when the complaint was made to many a staffer, the response was 'you can do it, if you just try harder'. Bull and shit on that. There was no way, short of the entire sphere hitting her with everything it had, simultaneously, to really bring her down.
I'm also somehow unsurprised that NO had to be repeated numerous times.

@Miss-Demeanor ...at one point on Haunted Memories, it was being argued that Carthian Law could work throughout the entire Praxis...
To that, I would have said, most emphatically, NO. Domain must be claimed. You can't just say 'well the Prince is Carthian, so EVERYWHERE is Carthian Domain even though other groups have clearly claimed it first'.
@Luna said:
@Miss-Demeanor Then on some level you must also miss our lack of turn signal usage.
Oh no, we still have that here. I'm convinced that nobody in Florida is aware that turn signals exist.
@2mspris
I force my children to bring headphones for their electronics. Not because I give any fucks about the people around me, but because -I- don't want to have to listen to the same goddamn 3 stanzas of a shitty game song or whatever fucking youtube video my youngest has decided he absolutely MUST WATCH RIGHT NAO OMG. So... to all those people who have sat near me and my kids? You're inadvertently welcome!
Also, I make my teenager return the cart now. Its good times.
Every D&D game I've played in where I've lost a character (read: all of them), the DM had me roll up as same level as the party. Then again, the main DM I played under was notably sadistic, so if everyone had to roll a level under the lowest player, we would all soon be lower level than the encounter we were playing. 
That said, I'll admit to fully taking advantage of the 100% xp rollover on TR. I don't always use all of the xp up front, but it lets me start at a level I'm comfortable with being at while still leaving me a cache of xp I can dip into if I realize I forgot something or need to pick up something quick to cover whatever it is that needs doing at the moment.
Peeve: I miss Houston's crazy-fast lane. I'm back in Florida stuck behind the blue-haired granny snowbird doing 55 in the fast lane on the interstate.
Edit: And yes, her blinker has been on for the last FIVE FUCKING MILES.
Thankfully, Carthian Law only works on Carthian Domain.
Double posting because I'm a derp.
Staffbits!
@TheReach
Constantinople (The Original!!!)
Yeah, I have a tendency to bounce around from character to character with all the aplomb of an ADD kid hyped up on Pixie Stix.
@Ganymede Totally not her fault your character had the most awesome hat in existence!! That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
@joemama YOU DID. HI!
@Chime Thanks! 
@darksabrz Hey! Long time no see!
