Things that are currently annoying you

I'm listening to the audiobook of Cold Days and, unlike when reading a regular book, I cannot just skim Harry's extremely detailed descriptions of the various women he encounters. :|

 

Like, Mr. Dresden, I know you started as a noir parody, but I still don't want to hear about random under-21s' "exotic almond-shaped eyes" and .. various other features.

 

my braces got adjusted yesterday and i am hurting. ow.

 

It's like a fucking war has erupted outside my window. Only I know it's not a war, it's fucking morons with fucking fireworks ignoring the fact that it's currently fucking illegal to set them off!

 

@sicklyprince I feel your pain, I got mine tightened Thursday morning as well. :|

 

I burnt the potatoes I was boiling to make mash for 'stamppot'. The potatoes were fine, and the stamppot was delicious, but now I have to go clean the pot :(

 

Want to read book. Have book as PDF on iPhone. iPhone refusing to send book to device better suited to reading by wireless OR 3G, even though I should be able to use either.

 

The three places I'm roleplaying in have all slowed down. Partly because they've been going several weeks or months, so the New Game rush is wearing off, and partly because people are stressed/busy with holiday season stuff. I'm cranky about it, because I'd put a lot of my creative energy into them, and now I'm not getting the same amount of gratification from them, and not at the same speed as before. So, I need to reassess and make sure I don't have all my fun/creative energy expenses in one basket. Which means reflection and a bit of work, which takes energy!

And part of my brain is saying "it's just play, when are you going to get so srerious about the real stuff, what is this even, you can't even play games without people patting your ass all day? You're never going to make it in the real world if you keep this up." Sounds familiar. Ugh.

 

I started crying because the pasta we bought was the wrong shape : |

 

i don't know if this helps, but i like roleplaying with you and your papyrus and stuff, and i'm pretty invested in the weirdmageddon tango rp too. so yeah, i get you.

 

I must admit, the way we've been mutually liking posts and playing around in SPR2 did give me that impression :p

Unfortunately, the problem I'm dealing with is one of expense and income. I've been pouring a lot of spoons/energy into building the rp fun times, but I haven't been taking the time and attention to make sure I'm replenishing those spoons. Too much going out, not enough of the same kinds coming in. If I keep going like this, I'll be running on empty soon. So I've got to readjust some of my time and energy to take care of my needs, to be responsible for my well-being.

 

1. ads have returned to my dashboard even though I have adblock
2. there is a follower who keeps wanting to chat with me via the tumblr messeging system and I am sure they are nice but they also want a lot of my time and attention and I just have very little spoons to deal with that right now with all the social stuff I am doing irl and I don't know how to turn off the messenger and tumblr used to be the "don't have to talk to anyone, look at pretty pics and fandom stuff" time and now I am feeling pressured to talk to someone I don't even know and I don't know how to turn the messenger off and I'd feel like a bitch for telling my follower to fuck off

 

general "sorry, i am not really comfortable chatting on the messaging system" post?

 

i'm confused. what do you mean by that?

 

:D

oh. i see. yeah... i can't really say anything about that.

 

Kinda muted panic with no discernible cause

 

a suggestion following @liminal 's post regarding the needing tumblr follower.

 

@unknownanonymous , tumblr has a feature where you can basically IM people. Last I checked you don't even have to be followers, since when I checked blogs that I visit, but don't follow, I have the option to message them. It pops up in a little chat window thing in the corner and I checked around and there is no option to turn it off. I have a follower who I don't really want to block, but they keep using the messaging system to wanna talk to me, and it's a drain.

Of course, this whole thing could be AVOIDED if tumblr had the option to turn this feature off, but for some god awful reason they decided that their userbase would never find the idea of anyone trying to chat with them at any time annoying

 

thanks!
sorry, i was confused and mistook @swirlingflight's suggestion as part of the thing they were talking about before.

yeah, tumblr should really make that feature optional.

 

this might be solved if I Go the Fuck to Sleep because I used up a lot of spoons hanging out with my sister today. I missed hanging out with her a lot but... it was a lot of talking, and my dog was so happy to see her she was hyper the whole time (the dog thing is probably what made me so tired. I love her and all but maaaaaan our energy levels are completely mis-matched).
