I was so DANG hungry.

So I ordered a extra hot Scampi Madras and youghurt salad and nan bread from my local Curry-place.

I ate it all, so now I'm DANG full.

And also DANG thirsty, so I'll probably have to go have a beer.

(The things people do to have a beer "properly" on a monday night) :D

Just two random thoughts, not related to anything recent in-game (so don't read into it).

I hate it when I'm forced to lock the account of some blatant cheater, only to discover upon doing so that they have a well-liked and well-played character with one of mine.

It sometimes disheartens me when I accept English language applications and none of my character's towns get newspawns..

I just came to think how I tend to avoid saying God in vain, even though faith or religion doesn't generally show in my life, but I can't even sing pop songs or especially metal that mentions God without feeling self-conscious about it. If I'm singing to myself then I generally fall silent or at most whisper the part where it's mentioned. Last happened as i was singing Metallica's One. Maybe it's related to how I find it difficult to write in first person if the story is not told from my own perspective. I noticed that problem in fourth grade in school or something when we had our first longer written assignment. Most of the subjects or headlines to choose from seemed like they would require writing in first perspective so I ended up writing a very dry science fiction description of the future. So I can't just think I'm acting the role of a soldier who lost all his senses and limbs as I sing the song because I feel it's improper to sing "God help me" if I don't personally need help at that moment. The character can't receive help since he's fictional.

I don't really feel like playing at the moment. Maybe it's because the people I most interact with seem to be offline more often than in the past. I'm damn bored and even though some of my characters have plans, I don't feel excited about them.

It annoys me to see characters who never interact with others, they just pick stuff up and travel. There might as well be a separate island for those players who don't care about the multiplayer aspect, and it could generate random piles of resources and items on the ground to satisfy their item picking need. I doubt they'll remain interested for very long, though. I doubt that anyone could be so retarded they didn't know how to talk when there's a box and a button in the middle of the screen that says talk to all. I guess they just don't feel a need to.

I've made a pretty awesome discovery. Using the corner of a terrycloth towel instead of a toothbrush. It's more sensitive for the gums and the teeth feel much cleaner afterwards than when using a brush.

I remember when I was in London, I saw an ad for a disposable "brush" that was made of some sort of soft plastic or rubber and you put it on your finger. This is pretty much the same thing except multi-use.

Sounds like the tool I have for cleaning my cat's teeth.

What a horrible job that is...

Anyways - 1) I have hugely important exams in three weeks, on which my job depends... yet I still can't motivate myself. 2) I'm active and willing to help on Cantr staff... yet still, nothing seems to happen... :(

then help try to get things active. If you are just waiting for someone else to say something while others might wait for your char to say something. Well that doesn't help now does it?
