"Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind." --Dr. Seuss
That's about as 'inspirational' as I get with quotes. But I like this one.

Today, a stream of consciousness poem
Today
Today is a day.
Today is a day.
Of "to".
Or is that too?
Or two?
Tooday. Also a day.
Twoday. A day so long it feels like two.
Twosday. A day for couples. Or twins?
Tuesday!
But it's Saturday.
Guild-ed
I was considering creating a guild for my leveling priest. My idea was to invite pretty much anyone I came across (that didn't have an immature name, I do have standards ya know, even in my zanier schemes) and have a massive guild of players of all levels. Deep down I just wanted to make an active chartroom (guild chat) and make some easier options for grouping.
Well, tonight as I was again talking to Steve about it and tossing around guild name ideas and playing with the create a tabard interface, I was invited to a guild.
I immediately looked up the guild in the WoW Armory online and saw +230 characters in it; many lvl80s and many leveling characters as well. The GM was friendly with her invite, so I accepted.
Perfect.
She then ran me & another new recruit thru the Stockades just to get us more XP and for fun, with plenty of jokes in the party chat. Later she had her brother craft us some upgraded gear. Very nice!
Then the brother joined a couple of us for a dungeon, all the while we were chatting.
Talk about fulfilling my needs...!
(That's what she said!)

WoW, just wow...
Steve has been hangin' at my place on Friday nights, crashing there as we've been staying up very late.
Fun stuff: movies, YouTube vids, magic, WoW, plenty of booze & silliness. The past 2x we've gone at 1:30am to the new 24-hour diner up the road from me. Fun times. =)
Well, when talking about the bill last night, I was going to pay with my card and Steve only had 20s (the bill wasn't split). One of us mentioned paying me back via gold in World of Warcraft. Hehe. Or me buying gold off of Steve.
Then we were joking about it as we walked up to the register and the guy behind the counter said "Gold? Like World of Warcraft?"
Naturally our eyes lit up. '8-)
After talking with him, not only does he play WoW and is a cool guy from Albania, but he levels characters and sells 'em. He had WoW up & going in the backroom. Neat.
He gave us 10% off the bill and said anytime we come in he'll give that to us! =D
/geekout
Also, the Chinese food place up the street from me that I always get take out from has a guy there that plays WoW.
How do I know?
Once when Steve & I were there for a pickup, we noticed behind the counter was the Stormrage novel. Nerdnip, not something you'd just pick up at the library. ;P
Then today I was wearing my Alliance logo T-shirt (which I got on clearance Friday at Hot Topic for $5 down from $20!) and one of the guys smiled when he saw it. It was a knowing smile; even though he didn't say anything about it to me. ^_^

Say goodbye to Hollywood...
Sara & I are no longer friends. Quiet permanently.
Over the past 4 or so months I've noticed her changing. Kind of becoming more immature and selfish. And spending a lot less time with me, or talking to me, and just seeming to not care about me at all. And any promise she's made since my birthday hasn't been kept. Very odd behavior. The few times going out were all about her & what she wanted to do.
When trying to call her out this change a couple of times, each time she'd get extremely mad and then try to shift the focus as if I was the one who has been changing. Irrational behavior.
This culminated in her not talking to me for several weeks in a row (her immature way to not dealing with a situation; whereas I, being mature, want to talk it out) despite my attempts to contact her with friendly words.
Then I find out last week from a mutual friend (and coworker, Adam, whom I'm becoming good friends with) what's up: she's been dating an old friend of hers: an alcoholic, ex-druggie! WTF?! She's gone off the deep-end.
As Adam put it: she's off her rocker, and she's delusional. Heh.
Fortunately for my sanity, Adam was seeing what I was seeing: her changes, her irrational behavior/attitude, etc, etc.
Then Monday after not talking to me for weeks on end, she said she wanted to come over to pick up her Wii. The days she suggested to do this were ones I already had plans (like swing lessons, etc). I remember how she acted with Spencer and taking her gifts to him back, and at this point I plain didn't want her near my pad, so I went out of my way to bring it to her after work.
After I got out of my car and handed her the bag with the Wii in it, she turned to walk away up the driveway. As she did, I politely asked her to delete my family & friends' contact info from her phone & email and then she blew up.
Yelling at me on the lawn, she couldn't even finish a sentence without jumping to something else -- things she said were completely irrational & untrue. Basically she was acting like a 5 year old throwing a temper tantrum. Complete with "I hate your guts!" Really? Yes. Reason? No idea. I hadn't done a thing.
I lifted up my sunglasses so she could look me in the eyes, and I smiled all the way through it, turning the other cheek & holding my tongue. I was in control and slung no mud back at her. She was out of control.
A good comparison would be Star Wars Episode 3 when Padme came to visit Anakin towards the end, and the continuing banter between delusional-Anakin and Obi-Wan. Sara was acting like Anakin, and I was the clear-headed Obi-Wan.
It's such a disappointment that what seemed to be a great friendship was destroyed by her attitude.
Oh well, a small blip on the time line of my life. I was just disappointed & annoyed. Otherwise I don't really care: if that's who she has become, then she has no place in my life. I'm mature enough to move on.
It does remind me how thankful I am to have good friends, ones I can always rely on being friends. Even if I don't see some of them very often (Jason, Megan, Spencer...) I'm still glad for them!
