Sweet flying monkey shit!! I'm superfly TNT!!

DAAMMMMNN IT! DAMN IT!

Stupid bastard and your jackassery!! If the entire class fails every exam during the semester, you HAVE TO curve the damned grades!! What a stupid ass.
 
Go go Guild Drama... the old leader of my VG in City of Villains somehow regained the leader position and is dismantling the guild to spite his friend, the new leader. This is AFTER the old one was a total douche to the new one when he was having a throat cancer scare. We have a ticket placed with the GMs to regain the star (and perhaps reform the VG if he finishes the job before it's gone through) but we're looking at losing years of work on our base and billions of Infamy.
Wow, what an asshole.

This happens a lot though, I am sad to say. (i.e.: Buckley)

In every MMO I played and I was Guild Leader I gave it to someone else when I left the game or stepped down for other reasons. Some are still active years (and several GL's) later. This is a dickish move to do this to every person in the guild just to spite one person.[/QUOTE]

Here's an update: Older leader completely removes New leader from VG, so the officers (me included) got together and decided we had enough.... so we looted everything of value inside the base, burnt it to the ground, and kicked everyone from the VG roster before we left. We basically decided that if he was going to be a child, he could sit alone in his clubhouse... as soon as he builds a new one.

We're forming a new group soon. Hopefully things will be better this time around.

Heh.

Well at least you're taking action. No sense in waiting for whatever he might have done. This way you can regroup and still have some infamy (that's the counterpart to influence, right? I really only played CoH).[/QUOTE]

There is influence for Heroes, Infamy for Villains, and Prestige for Super/Villain Groups. Prestige scales something like 1000/1 for Infamy/Influence, so we basically lost billions of Infamy when we burned it to the ground. He'll never recover.

Do it soon. And have everyone fill up that server with alts and have them join the VG too. They might be doing the influence/infamy winter gift thing this year! And it usually happens before the 25th I belive.
 
You can have ours. My driveway is like 5 stories long. I don't that want or need to move that much God damn snow at once.
 
Still no snow here. An aberration for sure. I suspect we'll get the blizzard to end all blizzards like we did last year and I'll end up with 5 feet of snow over the course of 3 days.
 
So it turns out my girlfriend of eight months or so has immediately (and continuously) hated any other girl I've had contact with. This includes, but is not limited to:

-My ex-girlfriend from Japan, who I'm still good friends with (and have surmounted the 'awkward sexual tension' phase past being exes) and really likes her.
-My friend Tonya, who I've known for thirteen years or so.
-Any girl in my classes that I've tutored (I make friends pretty quickly in class and have a good grasp of the material, so I get tutoring requests a lot).
-Any girl I'm friends with.
-Any girl I've mentioned, ever.

We got in a fight over this last night, and the end result was: she hates them and, while she doesn't like it about herself, she will make no effort to try and fix it. My stance was that I've made efforts to better myself for her, and I'd appreciate some effort--particularly in light of the fact that she's acting exactly like her mother (who absolutely hates me for no reason other than my hair, and has extrapolated this to mean that I'm a good-looking con artist who's going to sweet-talk/steal/use her for my own ends).

I hope I'm not overreacting, but I really can't stand that. If you're going to hate something, have a reason; and if I'm going to work to change things about myself that I don't like for you, I'd like to see the merest hint of reciprocation.
 
yeah, I hope it works out better for you. The last time I was with a woman who didn't reciprocate in a relationship, she ended up becoming my ex-wife.
 
My wife's car was broken into at her work today. Nobody hurt, yet, but they stole her GPS unit and busted the driver's side window. She had only stopped at the office to make a couple of calls and they hit her car while she was in. Less than 15 minutes...

It's crap like this that really makes me want to take it to lawbreaking morons that are just the scum on humanity's ass. I'm just so irritated about all this. $140 just for the new window, plus having to replace the GPS and re-enter all the points that we had set. ARghhhh.

Problem resolved...miscommunication mixed with anger.

And oh, hell; I didn't see the problem with Steinman. How is he? He'll be in my thoughts tonight.
 
Burgh. Lots of interesting stuff happened today, none of which I can write about in my blog. We had to shut down early because the city shut down our water and the food bank couldn't stay open. One irate 'customer' basically didn't like that, and thrust us into a waltz with a local news organization and our own PR department for a few hours this afternoon. Everything worked out and we were in the right, but it gets aggravating that you can work 60+ hours for a 40 hour paycheck, just to make people's lives better, and there are still people who will shit all over you.

Let me introduce you to humanity, they're all pormwranglers. Individuals can be exceptions, but as a whole, humanity sucks.
 
I got hella snow and freezing rain today.

Careful what you wish for, I guess. I almost got hit by a truck on my way to the bus stop.

Too true. A dude in one of my classes who worked with New Orleans residents after Katrina got yelled at almost every day for serving "bad food." It was just plain turkey and ham sandwiches, and the same people every day complained every day, "You couldn't get us any McDonald's burgers or something?"

To quote a lawyer friend of mine:

"AH HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!"


edit-Not about the truck thing, about the snow.

On the topic of snow, the fucking wind today drifted it back onto my driveway after I shoveled the whole fucking thing.

I made the rookie do it this time.
 
Stupid dept. of employment. This makes the fourth year in a row that Christmas has been/will be shitty.

2006: 7 days before Christmas, get "let go" from work.
2007: Manage to get to my parents' house for xmas, but fall and break my elbow while there. Also, my fiance was not able to travel with us, and spends the entire day at her mother's house, so sick with a flu that she sleeps through almost all of Christmas.
2008: Parents' plans to visit us are derailed by the fact that, 7 days before Christmas, my mother is let go from her job.
2009: Employment security decides that - regardless of their own written statement of 11/16/2009 which clearly states that I am still and will continue to be eligible for unemployment following the end of a 2 week contract - I am no longer eligible for benefits. I'm fairly certain that I can get them to resume payments, but I have no idea how long it will take.

I'm starting to think that Christmas hates me. Also, because of this latest drama, I didn't get to sleep last night.

Turn my phone back on or pay the mortgage? Turn my phone on or pay the mortgage?

No phone = no callbacks for my wife to get a job.
No mortgage means dealing with lawyers and shit to save our house. Again.

I love the Christmas season.

Get the phone again. Then CALL your bank and explain your financial situation to them.
