Im stuck at connecting.  Just stuck.  >.>  This chick is not amused.

Last night I barely made it in on time for Tati's rez ritual.  Barely.  I am not entirely sure if its that I get stuck in a queue; and for some silly reason it doesnt show; or if there really is a problem with the game.

Lately I have been getting error messages regarding my addons, and mods.  Maybe thats whats causing the problem.  Ill have to go in and delete the WTF filefolder and update any mods I do use; and need.  Perhaps that will fix it.  

If not, its an angry call to my cable provider.  The internet seems to be working fine; if not a little slower than usual.  Hopefully this cold snap isnt affecting the lines.  

Speaking of the cold snap, it went from about -5 to -44 with the wind chill last night.  Ugh.  I hate winter.  Had 3 foot snowdrifts outside the apartment building, and the truck almost froze up.  I let her idle for about 20 mins before I got ballsy enough to drive home in 4x4.  Even the main roads were icy as all getout; and I wasnt going to take the chance of an uncontrolled slide when not in four wheel.    

Man, I hope this works.  If not, im out of ideas.  I wanna play; and I paid dammit!  :(  Why do the WoW gods hate me?

Hee  :)  Nothing better than coming home after work and finding your loving husband has booted up your computer and has it all warmed up and ready to grind out honor :)  I loves ya Jamie.  

Eventually he heads off to work, but not before running amok in the house nekkid as a jaybird.  Never has that man learned that we have NO curtains.  People can see you dear.  :P  

On a side note, last nights shopping excursion went well.  I dont do it very often; very rarely do I actually spend any sort of cash on myself.  WoW is my biggest expenditure; so when I do go out; its usually me coming home with a fair amount of stuff :)   

Stopped over in LaSenza; and i have found a new love.  Boy-cut underwear.  Next greatest thing to thongs; and commando.  Sooo comfy.  And serious lack of chafing thanks to stupid polyester casino-pants.  I swears..  when I leave the casino; im melting those fuckers.  I've sewn them up in all sorts of ways, blown the zipper ( which still hasnt been fixed ) took the ass out of them getting into the truck and damn near tore one of the legs off during Drop.

I love to hate you casino pants; but a streaking Newfie makes it all better.

Aaaah..  christmas.  How I love to hate you :P

Not my fave time of year, ive been without my home(s) for too long; and still cant go home to see my family until summer; if not later.  But, we had dinner at Hazels; and i came home stuffed and semi-happy.  

The turkey and Jiggs was awesome; not a superfan of Jiggs; but whatever. I live on the bird and stuffing anyways :D  After dinner was a whole other story. 

Jamie's best friend Jay and his girlfriend Myah were over for dinner with the family; and they have both gotten pretty hot and heavy into WoW.  Jay's kinda backed off a bit now that the real thrill of new content has worked its course; whereas Myah's has'nt.  She got into Kara for the first time; killed Attumen and was overeager to tell me all about it.  I listend and shared in her joy of the kill; knowing where she is coming from when I too had my first Kara experience and new experiences in raids and unseen dungeons.   We kept the conversation low; but gathered family memebrs in other rooms gave us nothing but cold shoulders, rolled eyes and bad attitude.  >.>  I love Jamies family; but they really can bend over and kiss their own asses at times.

For the past 2 solid years of Jamie and I playing; we have gotten a fair amount of razz from the family here regarding us playing.  Granted, like any new game.. we were both pretty heavy into it and were excited to share all our experiences with others.  Well, theres no talking about this to some.  We got a fair amount of flak; but after a while the matter was dropped and its now gentle funpoking at us every so often.  We leave the matter on the downlo; but every so often it comes up and the teasing starts again.  Meh..whatever.

They were at the spare computer watchin videos on YouTube about some Monster Kitty video, and other random shit where they found ROFLMAO by Oxhorn.  I've seen it too many times to really laugh about it, its just a chuckle to me now.  Jamie still thinks its halarious; Jay and Myah really enjoyed it.

Then the shit really hit the fan.  Out of nowhere, one of the rarely seen adn hardly heard from cousins pokes his head in and blew a gasket at poor Jamie, Jay and Myah.  He went up one side of them and down the other; all of us including poor Hazel ( Jamie's mom ) in the kitchen and his brother, roomate and brothers girlfriend were left totally stunned and speechless.  He finished his spontaneious rant; and bailed.  

His passing words to me while I was outside having a quick puff; was " Y'know Jackie.. you and Jamie have a long time ahead of you.  If you spend all your fucking time in front of the computer paying some gayass game; you'll never really live life.  Get out and see the world, get a hobby that doesnt involve a mouse and keyboard".   

I should have ripped his throat out for it; but I didnt.  I kept my temper, and my tounge.  Even poor Hazel, usually merciless in the teasing at anything she can get her voice around.. stayed quiet and stoic.  He bailed, we finished the evening; I took Jamie home.  Being helplessly stuffed full of turkey and good things (not including finishing a 14hour shift and running on no sleep ) I sent his sorry Newfoundland ass off to bed to a well deserved sleep.

Part of me is pissed to no end for not making him eat his words, and other body parts..  but part of me is not.  Im growing up; and I know this.  Its just a game, and I know this.  I come in to this alternate reality to escape my own.  Thats what its here for.  For the enjoyment of the player and others around them.  I revel in our successes, and mourn our defeats.  But I still know when to walk away and say enough is enough.  Its time for bed, to go to work, pay bills, clean the house and take care of my real life; and not my online persona's one.

Sometimes I wish.. why oh why cant we just be left alone?  None of us have ever scorned him so badly for such words to be spoken; for such hurt and ridicule to be spat at us like we were nothing more than dirt.  Sure.. I play a game.  Sure, I enjoy it.  But, does that make me a bad person.


I think not.

 Strange dream last night, and makes no sense to me.  I was in some kind of lab, where they were doing weird animal experimentation.
  
>.> 

Not shapin up to be a good dream.

Anyways; these scientists crossbred animals, to make new ones; and made some really trippy creatures.  It was just tanks, cages and sweaterboxes everywhere.  Not including the computers and lab stuffs all over the freakin place. Im getting toured around; shown all the different animals they have created.

We walk by this fishtank full of plants and i see a full grown cat just floating there.  Then it blinks!  Theres two of them, one is a black and white tuxedo; the other is snow white.  Both are curled around eachother, just floating in the water. 

All hell breaks out when someone notices that the cops are outside the door, and they start hitting the release valve on all te tanks.  So everything that they have created gets flushed down some huge white pipe to god knows where.   I start arguing with the the guy thats touring me; who strangely looks like Robert DeNero that I want to at least save these cats.

He pushes me out of the way, and hits the release valve.  They flush down, and i cry.  

While having my sad momment, i notice movement int his pipe leading to doom; and the tuxedo cat is crawlin her way up the pipe.  Impressed by such a strong will to live, I'm bound and determined to save the little one.  He comes to intercept, I punch him in the eye.  I save the kitty i nthe pipe, and he rushes me.

This is when I start screaming for Jamie, trying to defend myself, and the kitty at the same time.  I kick him in the gut, give another few shots to attempt to slow him down and "Tada" Jamie to the rescue. 

I dont really know what happens after that, all i really remember is that we got the cat home and into another fish tank where it happiily swam around.  Its fucked up.  No way I cna ever relate what i dreamt.. its just too wierd. 

I hate it when I dream like this.  Really hard to interpret, and kinda makes me wonder about myself.  Thoughts from anyone?

I had a serious momment with my Emma last night.  She actually jumped into bed with me, and had a good purr on my chest.  Totally out of normal charachter for her.  

There was lots of squinty face, and the super rare facebath.  It was a serious momment, just my cat and me.  And I enjoyed it immensely.

Last few days have been good, and I'm being spammed with "WTF?" messages via facebook.  Jamie changed his relationship note to engaged, and im getttin spammed on wether or not I have the ring yet.  

Heeheeheee.  I think its cute.  He and I have been common law for 3 years, and everyones trippin over a facebooktag??  XD  Too funny to me.  

Now to get ready for work, and mebbe call my brother tonight.  Havent talked with the kid in forevar, but gots nuffin to tell.  Oh wells :)

Its shaping up to be a fair day.  Lets hope it stays this way.

Things have been bonkers lately.  Im exhausted.  Stupid work.  :P

The big event in the casino went off without a hitch; and a shitton of money was given away.  The sweetest little old lady won a free draw for a hundred dollars, and she and her husband were so damn cute.. that I just wanted to take them home and keep them forevar!

Looove cute old people.  Makes me smile!

I saw Sandy's back..and he wants to get together and collaborate a story.  Soo many stories..  so much story-smashing-out ability.  My goal for the weekend, besides clean the house.. is pound out at least one.  Not sure which one..but one.

And, tomorrows the eye exam.  >.<  Not thrilled about being blinded for a few hours, so Jamie's gotta get up early to get me to and fro.  Hes a good man.  I should give him a cookie.  

Blurgh.  Bedtime.  I hate this crap.  

...


I dont wanna be a gurl no more.

I love Americans.  Seriously.. I really do.  Its the delight of my day when I get American tourists coming in, and changing cash over.

They take such delight in our funny colored bills, with a fugly queen and past PM's emblazoned on the front.  Makes me smile to no end.   And.. and the fact that we dont have One Dollar bills.  Just coins.  Totally baffled over it.  Truly mirthful, seeing the wonder of forgien money in the hands of forgien visitors. 

The day was busy..  i went though alot of money again.  Im not really bitching, i was busy.  Lots and lots of handpays.  Over 25 thousand worth.  Twenty of that was in two bundles of hundreds.  Im sorry.. but at 10K each...thats a shitton of cash.  

On the upside, I am still playin nice with all the staff.  I stepped down from my acting superivsor position with minimal issues, and things seem to be going as smoothly as they never were.   Jamie and I are iffy..  things have been tense of late.  Fall is not my season, my body instinctively starts to shut down and reserve what energies its willing to expel for more.. stressful duties.

Because of my lacking enthusiasam..hes gotten a little cranky; but he knows it will pass in a month or so.  Once the snow flies... things always pan out.   It just means I sleep a little more, and a whole lot heavier than usual.  Not so fast on the pickup, but it gets done eventually.  

Now..  to play my game.  Oddworld came in today, and I am going to thouroughly enjoy making silly noises while using my brains to problem solve rather than hack and slash my way through :)  

Abe!
