@Ivoln. Pure awesome. Thank you!

Ivoln

You can thank me by keeping your bloody slurry down.

Stormcaller Crag, so much stuff to do and explore!

Lots of awesome work has been put into an area that I find myself enjoying often.

I took a break for a few days, a very much needed break. 

During that time, I jumped back on my fitness habits that I've been neglecting like crazy for awhile. Yesterday I finally got past the miserable start and got into my groove and started to get the rawr I can smash all the things energy reward that comes with busting my behind. 

Also, I am apparently eligible for scholarships for owning the GED test (on three hours of sleep) that I had to unexpectedly take to finally start the training for my new job. 

Also, new job. Settled, finally, I start on the 11th. 

Hooray, not being broke anymore.

I can finally get those cookies! I await them eagerly, just say the word!

Since I'm not currently in school or really challenging myself (partially a reason for my depression, I've come to realize,) I decided to devote myself to a project. First thing I did was download the 2nd edition of Programming in Lua by one Roberto Ierusalimschy. My logic after reading the preface and introduction was that I'd simply look up any unfamiliar terms I came across and read until I understood fully. I got about a paragraph in before I realized how inefficient and tedious this would be.

So, I googled 'free online computer science course' and what did I find but exactly the sort of thing I need! Harvard University offers one here! How nice of them. It's a bit fluffy, but I'm getting the background I need to really understand (and put a name to) the things I've been using for the past year in programs like MUSHClient and Mudlet. Hopefully I'll be able to return to college this winter or next summer armed with a little knowledge, start off a bit ahead of the game.

When I started learning Lua about 3/4 years ago, I had a few people, like the people in the mudlet irc room, to help me out when I stumbled, alongside the main Lua manual and one other site I can't for the life of me recall right now, and it became much easier, but to each their own. If you want to learn languages besides Lua, I will recommend Code Academy, as they have interactive courses teaching Ruby, Javascript, HTML/CSS and some others iirc.

I love that I'll be likely going to Ren Faire Saturday morning. So, anyone down in my area (Charlotte, NC) that might want to meet up - hit me up.

Silly and dorky, but I love feeling RARRR AWESOME when moments like this happen:

Love my grandma because she's the coolest grandma ever. Here are a few reasons:

- A few years ago she decided to start a facebook account just so she could get with the times and see what her grandchildren are up to.

- She follows Big Bang Theory on TV cause she thinks it's hilarious (none of her friends even know what it is). Every time I come by she's got something to say about Sheldon being so funny. I haven't even watched the show much myself. She's telling me I should.

- She gets around more than I do in a month (concerts, seminars, lectures, shows, day trips...) and she still has time to relax in her wonderful garden, which is neatly kept since she and my father take turns with the lawn mower still (she basically refuses to let him do all the work).

- She's 82 years old and a few weeks ago she got herself her very first tattoo. It's a beautifully shaded butterfly and it sits on her forearm. She figured the saying "you might regret it when you get older" didn't mean much, all things considered.

Ezrax

Your grandma does sound cool. EXCEPT FOR THE BIG BANG THEORY PART.

I will forgive her for her trespasses on that, however. She sounds awesome.

Teani

You don't see many 82 yo people watching that kind of show though. She likes humor (loves Monty Python and brought my dad along to see Spamalot)

Meyvitch

I've got the soundtrack to Spamalot. It wasn't that great when I saw it in person.

Big Bang Theory is awesome. But I haven't been able to keep up with it this season due to scheduling conflict with Once Upon A Time in Wonderland.

Love the haunted house and the new event! Looks awesome and the toys are super fun! I just wish I could toss artifact powers onto them and keep them foreeeeverrrrr. :P

I was gonna post in rage complaining about the ECT, but then I thought about it and decided not to.  I realized today that this is the best I have felt in years, and there's still hope for the next round to improve it even more.  I lost about two weeks of my life to this process and the recovery, but that's a small sacrifice after everything I've been through and done to finally have some hope when I thought there wasn't anything else out there.  We were literally at the point of starting to look into filing for disability on account of this depression and now we're looking at potentially complete recovery.  It's been a long time since I've had any hope - I can deal with the side effects of the ECT.

Moirean

I just noticed that I hit CR 6. I don't know when it happened or why, but this is the first time in my near-decade of playing Aet that I've gotten to that rank in a city. It feels pretty cool to achieve that finally.
