Mar. 4th, 2008 11:28 pmWell, that's that. I've contacted the mods regarding this but I've made the decision to leave one of my rpgs. I haven't enjoyed the game for awhile and after recent developments and discussions, it was time.
In more positive news -
nothing_goldrpg is brilliant and still casting. Seriously - wank-free zone, how amazing is that? Plus - we just recast Charlie and have lots of good stuffs planned.
In less positive news - I went bra shopping this weekend and am beyond sick and tired of not being able to find a bra. I'm a 32C. I know that women with large tits have problems finding bras but try being a 32 AND a non-A/B Cup AND above the age of 20. Yeah, good luck with finding a bra that doesn't have pointy cups so you look like Madonna back in the 80s or one that actually doesn't have cutesy little kid patterns on it.
I developed a rather severe migraine on Saturday after the bra shopping (I blame the bra shopping). Spent all day Saturday and 90% of Sunday with a cool compress over my eyes while sleeping it off in bed. Thus - I missed like every fandom commitment I have.
Spent most of this evening contemplating tears as I've learned what a pisspoor communicator I really am. I normally pride myself on communication skills but I have quickly learned through my communication with friends lately, that I rather suck at it. Lately, I'm consistently and constantly apologizing for either saying the wrong thing or not saying something and it's right in my head, honest. I think it's because, to my closest friends, I just fire off an email and assume that those I know and love will know the thought process within my head so I don't take the time to review an email to make sure it has all the pertinent details. But the thing is, I shouldn't make that assumption. I should immediately read over things and make sure that I'm especially validating the ones I love instead of assuming that they know exactly what I meant to say as opposed to the rather blase and sometimes careless things I do say. I can only promise - in public and in front of plenty of witnesses - that I will do my utmost to change.
In more positive news - YES! Hillary Clinton won Texas and Ohio and Rhode Island. OMG SO EXCITED. I started out this election swinging between Hillary and Barack. I didn't give a shit between one or the other and then I started seeing the rather misogynistic things the media and some of those on my flist have had to say and, well, enough's enough. I'm firmly in Hillary's camp now and, no, it wasn't her tears that put me there.
In the end, if Barack wins the nomination, I'll vote for him. Anyone but McCain and yes, that is coming from someone McCain is supposedly representing as a senator from Arizona. Words cannot describe the depth of my loathing of that man. Least reasonable/rational reason: he has no neck. Most reasonable/rational reason: he's a fucktard who responds to issues for which he wasn't actually contacted about with a letter that states that he will vote how HIS heart guides him and not how the people he represents wishes him to.
All that out of the way - how the heck are you guys?

I'm in the Obama camp, but, yeah, I will vote for Hillary if it comes to that. The most encouraging thing is that, when you look at aggregate votes, twice as many Dems voted as Republicans, and the exit polls showed more Independents and Republicans voting Democratic than there were Independents and Dems voting Republican. That alone says the country is leaning Democratic. Whee!

Date: 2008-03-05 04:08 pm (UTC)that's the part I was really excited about. I've got my issues with both Clinton and Obama, but just please oh please oh please not McCain.

Date: 2008-03-06 08:24 pm (UTC)When I was looking at the way that more Independents and Republicans were voting Democrat, I didn't think of it as leaning Democratic. I saw it as people wanting to vote in an election where their vote made a difference cause, let's face it, John McCain had the nomination in the bag going in to these last primaries. As much as I'm hopeful that it'll happen, I'm cautious optimistic that the US is leaning left.

try not to get too down on yourself. Sometimes things just are what they are and you have to move forward from here.

Date: 2008-03-06 08:27 pm (UTC)Yeah, I've been working on that and realizing that communication is a two-way street, as well. We all have our "things" that we need to work on.
And ugh, McCain. Just even typing his name makes me go RAWR. I hate that man so much.

Date: 2008-03-05 07:01 pm (UTC)I do the same thing with my friends. >.> Even with LJ friends! I fire off a comment/email/something when I'm tired and assume they'll understand my train of thought. Later when I read it back over, I don't even understand it, half the time. >.>
How I am? Bloody frustrated because I can't seem to create a mirror from LJ to IJ. >.< However, I shall conquer. I don't know how... but I shall!
