  • @teani - I'm so glad I'm not the only one who's done that
    @arbre - just becaus…
  • 2015 begins! Woo!

    Weight: 177

    Downsides this week: Well, I've been a lazy ass mofo all week, all break, really (Today is the first day I'm really back at work since Dec. 23rd). First day back at work, and I forgot…
  • Now that we have our flight and the convention schedule all worked out, it looks like if anyone wants to meet up with me specifically, the best time will be Friday morning, because I'm free practically the whole morning and could potentially leave t…
  • Well, I will still definitely be there! Work convention is definitely still on regardless
  • Tonight, I rage over sudden anxiety keeping me awake. I get anxious about things I am powerless to change, or at least damn near irrelevant toward solutions. So frustrating.
  • Ending out 2014

    Weight: 177

    Downsides this week: I dunno if I want to say this is a DOWNSIDE, but Christmas eve was all sorts of my cheat day. I ate everything I wanted and didn't feel a damn bit guilty. It was awesome. For Chr…
  • (Quote) Because as humans and players, you value something finite and/or consequential. Especially as endgamers (as several people have pointed out) death is merely an annoying inconvenience of -waiting- and a nominal XP fee.

    You know w…
  • I agree that making death take longer the more often you died would suck unicorns, but to have negative mechanical effects after dying that get worse each time you die is a totally different notion.

    Also, by making arena deaths, etc. not …
  • Of your ideas, @alissandra, I like the death sickness idea the best. While I don't do any PK, I feel like the idea that others would actually have consequences i…
  • I suppose you have a point there, but in my head I am imagining three options upon death, "Wander" "Revive" "Do nothing and decide" So that the player is actively choosing to be mechanically stripped of stuff. But, to me it seems more "real" to hav…
  • @nola's idea there sounds like an EXCELLENT compromise to a lack of permadeath. Just a simple "Is wandering the Halls of the Underking" or something of that sort in th…
  • I love your comment, Nola

    2ish years ago I was, while not watching what I was eating, working out a lot and I was in amazing-for-me shape, and around 170. I tried to keep up with it, but damn if "life" didn't get me unmotivated and I just…
  • Whee! Happy land of nearly-effortless weight management continues on my front.

    Weight: 177

    Downsides this week: My Mother's birthday became a cheat-day, however, I have allotted 2 this month, so, all is still well and even thou…
  • I have no idea what it is, but I feel like a movie entitled "Graveyard of the fireflies" should be somewhat obviously... not warm and fuzzy?

  • Not... that I bash or PVP... hardly ever.

    HOWEVER! I have at least a quarter of a chance to notice what is happening with the new combat messages, because they're short, sucint and BAM IN MY FACE unlike the old ones... no way in hell was …
  • It is a very small love - but pants that have been too tight for.. oooh.. a yearish are fitting again right out of the dryer!

    Warm, fitting satisfaction.

  • Even if it's a bit hipster - you look totally adorable-pretty there @mariena!
  • I am a bit miffed at the turn of unsolicited advise getting thrown at the syssin. I understand that the point is to be helpful, and helpfulness is appreciated in general.

    THAT SAID. The way they are being disseminated here implies many th…
  • Dietland was still awesome this week, but I am seriously considering buying a chest freezer.

    The hardest part for this diet: I am a laaaazy ass mother fucker in the morning if I have to go to work. As such, I really thrive on having lunch…
  • To me, the idea of the Syssin being an "assassins class" has always felt extremely LULZY in a world with no permadeath.

    "I'M GONNA SNEAKY KILL YOU"
    "Oh? Okay, whatever, slightly annoying, but I'll just get back to whatever someone wa…
  • The only thing I read was Ishin's initial post, so if what I am about to say is completely already been beaten to the ground, my apologies:

    I feel like Ishin's argument is being largely... Ignored? Dismissed? Misunderstood? Sidelined? Non…
  • I have family pictures today. It isn't that I'm camera shy or think I'm in particularly bad shape for me or anything...

    Mostly, it's that I got my hair cut last week, and I feel like the gal cut my bangs poorly-looking. The only way to f…
  • Well, I've been back on the horse for a week now... And lemme tell you, I love the shit out of this horse.

    I paid no attention to calories before thanksgiving, but still managed to lose 4 lbs (maybe water weight? But, whatever) Gained it …
  • WOOOO! Go Mariena! Also - Awww :( I hope your Leo comes back today in Cake? Yes, please. Comment by Aryanne November 2014
  • *nod* I agree @aldric Basically, I have alloted myself one "event" each month to "not be that guy" during (Thanksgiving, ChristmasORNewYears, Brother's Birthday, My …
  • So, I have officially begun the "Low Carb, High Fat lifestyle" (also called the Scandinavian diet, the Swedish diet, the ketosis diet). I refuse to go with "diet", because despite my knowing I need to stick with whatever forever, somewhere in my hea…
  • @mariena I totally intend to continue to put it out there on public forum, I meant in addition to, not in lieu of.

    I also agree - good plan in the "small…
  • I had misplaced my glasses and hadn't been able to find them for about two weeks. This morning, I finally spotted them next to my car tire. I park in gravel. It has been wind-storm/freezing/etc. plus I have been running over them with my car probabl…

  • Thanks @mariena! I honestly had completely not even considered videos like this. They're an excellent idea, especially now with the unfriendly winter weather and la…
  • I have also been in the "stuck" range at 182. This is totally my fault for being a lazy bum lately, plus Freakin'-Cold-and-Dark November discouraging any kinda of evening exercise... Excuses excuses.

    I've also not been nearly careful enou…
