LOVE

The generosity that some people show. Sometimes it really amazes me.

Merrrrry Christmas everyone!

And other variations as needed.

My sister is a student, and as a student, you don't have much money. Last night, at our xmas celebration, me niece gave her mother (my sister) 5skr, ($0.72) after being told that every cent counts.It was from her own allowance, just to give a little something to help with how the economy is atm.

 

Later in the evening, when playing a game where you throw a díce to win gifts from eachother, she fought like a champion to get a tray and a bread bag, to give to her grandpa, (my father). She actually won the tray and gave it to him, in exchange for a box of chocolates that she loves.

 

This is the best, most caring and giving girl at ten years old I have ever met and I love her more than anything. She is the tue xmas spirit in my eyes.

A dear friend who I've not talked to in a while, called to cheer me up. As I'm on the phone I glance outside only to see that it's snowing, in Texas. Definitely brightened my otherwise gloomy mood.

Despite having little extra money this Christmas, I still managed to score presents for a couple kids via tree tags this year. Watercolors (they were $4, so I got the kid xtra brushes and paper, too) and a DVD. :-)

My mother told me this evening that once upon a time, she had gotten a tag for a homeless kid off a tree and while my sister was with her, went shopping for the presents on the list. Apparently to get everything, you could add watercolor set for just $1. My sister was determined not to get the watercolors. After some arguing and a bit of crying on her part (she was 5 yr old?) Mom left the watercolors there. On the way home, she asked my sister why she didn't want to buy them.

"But Mom, if they're homeless, where's he going to get the water???"

Funny as hell.

Also Mom's Bfriend made homemade sourdough bread and is 2 months into fermenting 4 gallons of homemade wine. Can't wait to try it.

Also got new Kindle fire for christmas when I had asked for the $79 version. I can download the Lord of the Rings and the Hobbit with PICTURES!

Got the little one a train set for xmas, with the conductor's hat, handkerchief and whistle too. He played non-stop all day yesterday to where I already had to change out the battery for one of the engines. Best part is, since he has played with only that for 2 straight days, I have not had to clean up ANY other toys at all.

I would probably feel the need to be very, very drunk all day. But I work for Union Pacific... and I'm on vacation... so....

But!! Glad he likes trains. Foamer in the making? Toot toot!

Even though my life has been chaotic lately, it's helped me to put what I want out of it into better focus. I've realized a few things about myself and what I need to do to keep up the momentum. Call it my Pre-new years resolution:

Less internet.

Less alcohol.

More working out (I've scheduled appts with a personal trainer).

More reading and puzzles.

More time with friends and family.

Get back into school.

Change my life.

Change my career.

I'm still going to be around but not in any extreme capacity until I've set up a better routine for myself. I hope that those of you that consider yourselves my friends will support me but.. I need to prioritize better and so I suppose that my love is a bittersweet one.

I like the changes to the tiny little reaction icons. Likes are thumbsuppier, and agrees are now distinguishable from disagrees. Yey little things.

Little quality-of-life script improvements.

They fixed the bugs with the 'artifact value' syntax. I wasn't sure whether to post it here or in the rage thread, but:

You should keep in mind that apparently if your mana drops to zero, you die regardless of your health value. Or so I'm told anyways.

A friend of mine shared a pic on FB, depicting the bible, with the text 'Proof God exists' and a the cover of Amazing fantasy, with the text 'Proof Spiderman exists'. I just had to share that to my friends and it didn't take long before one of them commented:

"Spiderman is dead, the papers wrote about that yesterday."

Not more than minutes after that, the friend who first posted the pic commented back:

"You just wait two more days."

My family. Wtf. So, I come back out of the theater and restaurant and there's a damned blizzard roaring up at the end of a date. What do I do? Take the bus back home and call ahead letting the family know that I'll need help getting up the hill because I'm wearing 5 inch heels.

 

What do they do? Show up with SKI POLES ON FOOT. THANKS GUYS! I ended up walking up the hill in socks, with ski poles, and a pair of guffawing brothers. I love my family. You're freaking dorks.

Damonicus

In my day we didn't even have ski poles, we just had sticks that we had to steal from the neighbor's fire. Count yourself lucky. Ski poles. I wish we had ski poles. Try going up hill 2 ways with sticks that are still on fire and not have kids run up with marshmellows going "s'mores!! s'mores!!"

I uh....scared myself today. I had this dream a long while ago that Latharn was looking for this minor focus, and Kiyotan had asked him how his search was going. Latharn had said he was about halfway done or something. Then I skipped ahead in my dream, and extracted the focus that was in Moghedu. I didn't remember the room name, just where it was on mapview. 

Lo and behold, TODAY. It happened. The conversation happened on Dion. I blurted out, "Hey, I saw this in a dream. I know where the focus is." I go straight to the spot in Moghedu where I had dreamed it was, honestly expecting it not to be there. I shat myself when it was o_O. I don't even.

Well, a while back I dreamt that Ironbeard was manually run by a God behind the scenes. I had entered a backroom where this guy was choosing which items to put in giftbags and then hitting an alias to send it out with Ironbeard emoting. Then after a while, I realised the God was Seir. Who I haven't actually spoken to at all. So hey. We dream weird things about this game.

Counting down the days for the season to end and family to disperse. I love them all to bits but it's so damned BUSY here all the time. I'm going to be so excited for that moment of peace and quiet that comes with New Years rolling around..
