It's not Obsession

So, yesterday was my radiation 'meet & greet' or whatever. What a trip.

First off, turns out that, during my big surgery, they took out one of my teeth. Um... yeah.

Secondly, I get to (note that I'm saying 'get to' instead of 'have to'... it's all in the mindset, baby) go do this fun radiation thing every. day. for six weeks. :D OH BOY.

Third, they're going to mold a hard plastic mesh mask specifically to my face and shoulders that they will screw down to the table to hold me in place... every day for six weeks. It'll look like this:


(this is not me)

My sister, ever helpful, called it 'Jigsaw's puzzle', which - in no way - sent me into a panic, ohmygod. It's all I'll be able to think of now.




... um, yeah. Doctor was a hoot. He liked mine, Lani and Cher's antics.

In her own post, a friend of mine asked:

Is it wrong of me to be put off/annoyed by people who: Double dip in containers – Like eating ice cream from a container and putting the half empty container back in the fridge (same goes for yogurt and the like). Or double dip with chips on dips. And the like. Or putting a serving spoon/fork back into sauce after you've slurped on it.

And I just wanted to hug on her because, really? OHMYGOODNESS.

Do not breathe on my food or look at my food or touch my food or my plate or-

You know how mom's will let kids drink outta their straws? Yeah, I never did that. Or eat off my fork. Or... yeah, no. Never. Ugh.

I have a THING. Okay? It's a minor thing, but ask Lani or Cher or Rach or Meredith... any one of them can order for me and then dictate to the server how things must be placed/arranged/served... hojeez. ♥ Even LODI knows.

My friends.

IN SHORT: No, dear friend, it is not wrong to be put off.

Bobo is resting on the air mattress (where she slept last night) and I'm reading stuff on the nets.

Pryllie called me earlier, and that was a great surprise in and of itself, nevermind the one she's promised...

I added drugs to my 'lunch', yes I did. Later, we'll hit the pharmacy.

I couldn't do this without Lani, and I don't know how I'll ever express my gratitude to her. How do you thank someone who puts their life on hold for you, even for a short period?

My dad came by. He was disturbed, I could tell. Lani was a fantastic interpreter.

... I feel ...

yeah.

Listening to Miley Cyrus' 'The Climb' made me cry and I felt silly, but it's so much more appropriate, even now.

I'm sure I'll discuss these topics in greater depth later, I'm just tired.

I've been RPing a very long time, it seems. Well, when it comes to LJ/IJ RP, anyway.

In January of 2004, I did a search on Livejournal for fans of 'stargate' and came up with a roleplay game. It was a game called the_sgc and the first character I picked up with was Anise and her human host, Freya. The moderator there was a girl who went by the name of panthera.

Now, Panth? Panth was a kick. She was one of the best mods that I've ever had the joy of writing with. She was patient with newbies and when I went to make an original character (that was really supposed to come and go), she let her be a Mary Sue kind of gal and that was it. There was no accusations or rudeness, she just let us all play and it was glorious.

OH, well. I also met ambisis in that game, and it turned out she lived like, ten minutes from me and we've been best friends ever since, but that's another (fantastic) story. ;)

So, I played Anise/Freya (who had twins with Sgt. Walter Davis - those twins will be FIVE in July) and I had my new character, Shannon Weiss. Shannon's gone through some reworking, but she eventually became the sgc_spybarbie that married daniel_sgc and those two had a baby named... hattie_notqueen. :D

I really love my RP's.

--------

I started off in Theatrical Muse in March of 2004 with Helen of Troy and wrote prompts for her for a year before I even thought about jumping into the side business of RP with her.

She became good friends with John Munch (of SVU fame), and eventually married him, much to Hermes chagrin. But before they were married, she and Hermes had a really amazing one-night-stand. Oh, those two. Always snarking at each other, bitching about each other, and really? The closest friends. They do love each other. Not in a way that they'd ever BE together, but it's a love nonetheless.

So, they had this lovely one-night-stand and from that came... antigone_grace, who eventually came into her own in my head.

Helen, after three years of marriage to John, witnessed his death in a drive-by and ended up asking Zeus for her mortality before committing suicide. Hermes took her to Elysian Fields and there she stays.

-------


So, basically, I've had the same characters in my head for years... and years... and years... and though I try to let them go, it's hard. Even now, when Hermes does something outrageous or wacky, Helen is the first to poke her head up with a LOOK.

I've spent years creating elaborate storylines for them and played those storylines out with very skilled writers and I've been so fortunate to have that in my life.

To be honest, I miss that.

I miss the time and the dedication that went into the weeks and months of storylines and not knowing what was going to happen next, exactly. Having a starting point, knowing what points we wanted to cross and getting to some kind of vague ending... thing. Whatever happened in the meantime was awesome.

The closest thing I have going with that is the KITT & HATTIE thing, but that's because we play in journals. Maybe the LC people, at times. Occasionally the SPN people, but yeah. It's all just sitting out there in petty one-offs.

People are so concerned with the concept of godmodding that they don't TRUST their RP partners anymore. I know I can say to certain people, "Okay, take over for me with [my character] and I'll see you tomorrow!" in a party post or something. I know they're not going to do something wildly out of character with mine.

And when writing a scene, how hard is it to say, "Sue smiled. Motioning with her head, she led them to a table and sat first." How dare Sue assume that Ted wanted to sit down?!

I just don't understand why some assumptions can't go into writing if you trust the person you're writing with. If you don't trust them, why are you playing? It's made me skittish around players I don't know very well. I don't want them to jump on me.

That said, I just met an entirely new group of people, an entirely NEW GAME. I don't know them, they don't know me and yet... we all MESH. And I did. I said, "Okay, Lauren, you can move _____ for the rest of the party. Have fun!"

My girl got another drink and made out with her boyfriend on a couch. It was in character (enough) for the game, and the scene. I'd known Lauren all of a week. But I trusted she wasn't going to make my girl the party floozy and have her do a strip tease.


... I just miss that kind of RP. Where epic stuff happens. Example? Antigone's had quite a life. ♥

/rant

First of all, EJ? You have issues. SRSLY. That freckle? Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaah. :P

Secondly? ABOUT last night? Talk, talk, talk. More on that in a heavily friended or even private entry because, well. YEAH.

Thirdly? If the [Impossible Quiz] was addicting back when, and it was, then [Pandemic II] is even more so. OMFG. JUST sAYING.

Fourth? Lanibobo goes back to Washington DC today for which I am both glad and sad. Glad because that means that no more sadness keeps her here and sad because, well... no more Guitar Hero. Still, it was nice to see her for a quick visit. Plus, hey! New snowglobe :D

Fifth? I have no fifth. Back to the old grind, right? Right. Later? I'm making fudge brownies.

Will be responding to tags today, promise

Need to catch up the LC peeps

Need to do the SPN stuffs

Maybe something with TNG?

... how much I love you all.

Lani - I desperately hope you feel comforted this weekend.

Rach - I hope you get some....thing.

Jilly - I sincerely hope you have some kind of pain relief.

Jewels - I want you to feel the love.

Alliana - Thank you for knowing it all the last few days and not judging.

Lodi - You crazy bitca. ♥

Teresa - I hope you finally get some rest.

[IN HONOR OF TODAY, AND BSG AND THE FINALE AND... *SNIFF* OKAY... WHAT WOULD TODAY BE WITHOUT... THIS?]


(01/27/2007)

SO! Lani and I were up late last night, as we often are... and discussing BSG.

As we often are. :) Hey, it's her fault, she dragged me into this mess! *HEE* So, I'm not even sure who starts the 'Because I Got High' references, it was probably HER, but out they come and WHAMMO!

You've got the various BSG characters waxing poetic on the dangers of New Caprican Loco Weed. Sung to the tune of Afroman's 'Because I Got High'. If you are unfamiliar with it (what?!?!), you can [watch the vid here]. It's not a very PC nor Safe for Work song. But it is funny.

( Crack RP + Late Nights + Two Years Ago... )


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~SO OKAY~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


That was the old post. Now, last week on BSG - ( Cut for Spoilers & MOAR CRACK )

And there ya go. Now we all know why Lee's son Joseph ended up being such a perv.

Yes.

This.

A lot this.

RACHAEL. LANI. MEREDITH. ROLL CALL.

Every now and again, fanfic writers go back and read their first stories.

Well, if you're an RPer, go back and actually READ when you first started RPing. Seriously. Do it.

Thanks to LJArchive and my darlingest friend panthera, who was the mod of the first game I ever played in, I was able to do just that.

Um, yeah.

So, I'm not saying I'm a fantastic, wonderful, YAYGOME RPer now? But WOW was I horrible. And Panth? Was always nice to me. And even when I created my first OC (whom I still love and cherish and mold to whatever I need - It's Shannon, btw), she was still nice. She was nice when she told me what worked and what didn't, but mostly?

She just played along. Let me play and just... played with. :) Karen was in that game (matsujo9) and that's where I met Lani! :D In January of 2004. At The SGC on LJ.

And then... and THEN there was the Jacket Saga. Which will never not be funny to me.

[in case you get a hankering to read something funny that you may or may not understand]

I loved this game and I MISS this game. ♥

PS: Where did ya'll first play?

Lani is here. It is her birfday. We has the Alcohol and the Guitar Hero.

And Supernatural. EDIT: And Tropic Thunder once David the Horrible goes to bed. *snerk*

Later, we may have Cake and Spaghetti. For some reason I'm not allowed to cook. Who knows?

Edits as necessary.

EDIT: Lani made the Pennesketti because I couldn't. Cher said that no one wanted to drive me to the hospital if I hurt myself so I threw a pill bottle at her head. The food was good. And now we drink moar.

EDIT AGAIN: After a few more BREWSKIES and a TWITTER-OFF, we finished Tropic Thundah and have moved onto some Nathan Fillion Frightfest thing called... Sliiiiiiiiiither. Oooooooooooooh. Ew? Ooh? Ew.

1) Apparently, if I go to prison for (UNNAMED HORRIFIC ACT HERE) then Rach is going to visit me. NICE RACH! Only SHE thinks it's going to be the same day that I decide to break out. She also doesn't think that I'm going to BE the bitch, she thinks I'm going to be MAKING the bitches. That I'm going to tell Bertha to dig over there--------> and to cover the hole with the t-shirt I gave her and that Jonesie and I are going to dig over <----------- here while she does it. The prison map, for the record, is traced on my BACK and that I asserted my Alpha-ness when Left-Eye took the roll of my lunch tray, took a bite and then tried to put it back.

I shanked that ho.


2) Okay, so... I'm not saying that Jack IS gay and I'm not saying he ISN'T gay. Not that I care because we're equal opportunity offensive up in here. BUT, if I WERE going to prove or disprove that statement? I'd post a photo of him, this morning, dancing along with 'A Chorus Line'.



Like that.


3) FOUR INCHES OF SNOW PREDICTED, which means we'll get one. *sighs* ♥

D) The reason that I shanked Left-Eye in prison is because at Cheryl's Christmas Party the other night, no joke, her BOSS took my DINNER ROLL OFF MY PLATE, took a bite and then TRIED TO PUT IT BACK.

I nearly passed out. Cher was like, "Um, no. Don't do that."

Rach was like, "You shanked him, huh?

Lodi said, "And then you stabbed him with your fork, right?"

Yeaaaaaaaaah. Keep the roll, John, you nasty bitch. I don't want it. EW. EWWWWWWWWWWWWWW. ew. JUST NO. Bad enough I had to sit next to that many people. OHMYGOD. Ew.

Mo: Jack has been screaming all day. Like, LITERALLY screaming. For no reason. So, just now? I put in the ending of 'A Chorus Line' because? He loves it. He's standing there just waaaaaatching it. over. and over. and over. and over. and... you get the picture.
Lani: That boy is so gay!
Mo: LMAO I'll DIE if he is. *HEE*
Lani: I'm teaching him how to say "FAAAAAAAAAABULOOOOOOUUUUS!" when I get back
Lani: Tell Cheryl I'd like a quick, honorable death ;-)
Mo: *GIGGLEFITS*
Mo: "Well, Cheryl, the good news is... I got Jack to stop screaming."

"What's the bad news?"

"... he's gay."
Lani: at least he won't protest getting his temperature taken?
Mo: Ilaughedsohardomg
Lani: I really should not be making these kinds of jokes
Lani: I mean, what decent person DOES that?
Mo: Decent?
Lani: ... good point.
Mo: I love us.
Lani: I love us too

It's That Day again. Well, unless you're Lodi. Then it's ROCK ON time and Have a Dorito. I love Lodi.

I miss my mom.

ME: The Doctor's a n- *DONG!*
CHER: What?
BOBO: She said the Doctor's been elected President.

[[And why not? It worked in Blazing Saddles!]]

Jokes, man. Jokes. Don't be gettin' all racist up in my yernal. *snicker* Only I'm allowed to do that. I'm friends with LANI.

============

That said, much love to Miss Rachael & Miss Lani, both of whom are feelin' the ickies today. I ♥ you both liek whoa and things will get better. Think happy thoughts for today at least. Like, um... Guitar Hero and rum? :-/ I dunno. OOH! I know. For Rach? Margaritas. For Lani? (.)(.)

There. <3 *mwah*

So, this morning, some of you got... Special Greetings from my sister, Cheryl. She told Lani that I took it up the butt, told Pryllie that I hooked up with some cowboy from a karaoke bar and told JEWELS that I slept with David while she was at work.

*sighs*

Now that I've had more imaginary sex than I know what to do with, there's only one thing to do...


I TOTALLY BEAT MISS MURDER ON GUITAR HERO!!! 100%, bitches. :D I was the first person to do it.

[THIS CAR] was sitting next to mine when I went to take Kyle to school this morning. Some reckless loser left it in the outside lot!

... my inner!Hattie's jaw dropped, she might have drooled a little, and she wanted to take THAT one instead. :D

PS: I thought of you, too. *hee*

[I got a funny comment regarding an old thread with Clotho & Breacan]

AAAAHAHAHA. I found the culprit!


Mary Mo: Someone in Poland wants Breacan to pound it to Clotho? I don't get it
Lani Bobo: or they think he was?
Mary Mo: or they're very sorry he didn't?
Lani Bobo: I'M sorry he didn't, too
Mary Mo: Did YOU leave me an incoherent comment, Lani?
Lani Bobo: and lie to say I'm from poland? oh yes
Mary Mo: it DID throw me off.
Lani Bobo: I knew it would
Mary Mo: you clever woman
Lani Bobo: hahahaha

And now ya'll know.
