Don't ask me to run you through an instance, only to log off when I'm halfway there, or even worse when I arrive. Especially if you do this with no kind of warning. (I mean, hey, I understand if something comes up and you have to go offline, like someone said "let's go out to dinner" or "if you don't get off the computer now, you're grounded for a month" but you could at least say something like "hey, I'm sorry, I gotta go").

Also, don't ask me to run you through an instance, only to say "nevermind" when I'm halfway there or when I arrive.

Don't agree to join a group if you know you're going to leave in five minutes.

Don't beg to be run through an instance. Ask nicely, or STFU.

Don't ask for someone to help you with a quest and then expect them to help you through the next ten. Ask them nicely if they mind helping some more, or GTFO.

Also, if you ask someone to "help" you with a quest, you should actually, I dunno, do something during the quest other than bark orders. That's not me "helping"; that's me "doing" the quest for you. And whether I'm "helping" or "doing", don't ever bark orders.

If you're in a guild, don't bitch about the lack of money in the guild bank for repairs, especially if you never contribute to the guild bank in the first place.

Don't try to force me to join your group just because you see I'm a level 80.

And if I do join your group, don't try to force me to be the tank. I am NOT a tank. At least not yet. And don't whine and say "could you just tryyyyyyy?" No. Why? Because I'll die. You'll die. We'll all die. And then you'll bitch at me, because I'm a sucky tank. What part of "I AM NOT A TANK" don't you people understand?

Yes, I know my gear sucks, thank you.

No, I don't have any other gear. Do you think I'd be walking around in sucky gear, if I had better gear to wear?

No, I really don't have any other gear. Yes, I'm aware that it's mostly tank gear, and I'm a DPS, but I just very recently learned that I was totally fucked up in regards to my spec/gear/rotation. Okay? I know you don't know that until I tell you that, but dayum, lay off me, okay? I've got the right spec now, and I've got a pretty good rotation, and now I'm working on getting the right gear, but that shit takes time and gold. So unless you personally want to run me through the necessary instances and/or give me gold, then kindly STFU after I've explained this to you, okay?

Also, don't insist that I join your group when I tell you that I can't run this instance. It's because I don't have the right gear, and we'll all die. A lot. And that brings up a hefty gear repair bill. And then you'll bitch about that and how much I suck.

Okay, that's it. :D

Only, it isn't. *laughs* For some reason, I thought Halloween was this upcoming weekend. So, I decided to carve a pumpkin! I didn't realize until I was almost finished with the little bugger that I'm about three weeks too early. *shrugs* It's good practice. *nods*

So. Meet the pumpkin head!


Pre-Surgery Pumpkin-head!


I used a bowl so I could cut a really good circle.


Hello, pumpkin brains!


The brains have been scooped!


See? No pumpkin brains in here!


They're all in here! (Gotta save them, too. They'll be important later!)


I found a face online that I liked and taped it on.


Then I used the special pokey tool along the outline of the face.


Then, I connected the dots, smoothed, shaped, and rinsed the pumpkin head out.


Woah! Who turned out the lights?


Was it you?


OMG! It WAS you!


And tonight (and for snacks tomorrow), we dine on roasted pumpkin brains! (As soon as they've dried out a little bit. Add a little butter and salt, then roast the bits at 300 degrees for about 45 minutes or until golden brown! Whee!)

Do you have a favorite building?
Or how about a building that you think is super-neat?
Or maybe a row of buildings that just catches your eye every time you pass?

If you do, reply with a link or pictures (and let me know where it's at so maybe one day I can visit it). I want to see what's capturing the audience's attention these days.

( Wanna see some stuffed animals? )

And there we go!

Has anyone here ever had mono?

If you have, tell me about your experience with it, please!

I want to get the precious little furbutts a water fountain, since they both love to drink from a running faucet (Renji will wake me up at 5am just to get his fresh water).

Do any of you have any recommendations on a particular drinking fountain?

...cus I like it like that!


Meme
The first TEN people to comment in this post get to request a drabble of any pairing/character of their choosing from me. In return, they have to post this in their journal, regardless of their ability level. If you absolutely can't write, I don't see why you wouldn't be able to offer drawings or icons or something instead. Last bit ain't mandatory.

If I don't know the fandom I will let you know, heck I might even try it any way.


Please try to post your request in a similar style as follows below:

More Spring Cleaning, more bookshelves, more books to take to Hastings and see how much they will give me for them.

I've been doing some Spring Cleaning, and I've gone through my bookshelves to see what books I could part with. I'm going to take these books to Hastings and see how much they will give me for them.

Best comeback line (On Gun Safety)

General Cosgrove was interviewed on the radio recently. Love his reply to the lady who interviewed him concerning guns and children. Regardless of how you feel about gun laws you gotta love this! This is one of the best comeback lines of all time. It is a portion of an ABC interview between a female broadcaster and General Cosgrove who was about to sponsor a Boy Scout Troop visiting his military headquarters.

* * * * * * * *

FEMALE INTERVIEWER: So, General Cosgrove, what things are you going to teach these young boys when they visit your base?

GENERAL COSGROVE: We're going to teach them climbing, canoeing, archery and shooting.

FEMALE INTERVIEWER: Shooting! That's a bit irresponsible, isn't it?

GENERAL COSGROVE: I don't see why, they'll be properly supervised on the rifle range.

FEMALE INTERVIEWER: Don't you admit that this is a terribly dangerous activity to be teaching children?

GENERAL COSGROVE: I don't see how. We will be teaching them proper rifle discipline before they even touch a firearm.

FEMALE INTERVIEWER: But you're equipping them to become violent killers.

GENERAL COSGROVE: Well, Ma'am, you're equipped to be a prostitute, but you're not one, are you?

The radio went momentarily silent and the interview ended.
