A night spent sulking.

By
Is this what being in a disfunctional raid is like?


"You're getting to kill things more than me!"

"No you are!"

"I keep having to lead the newbies and don't get to do the cool stuff"

"No *I* keep having to do that you get to spend all your time killing things!"

"No I don't I have to work!"

"Work free of newbies!"

"Fine I'll just take the newbies and GO TO BED!"

"FINE!"

"I don't want to kill things anymore I think I'm going to cancel my account"QQQQ

My brother didn't work yesterday(because he was on call or something last night), so he spent all day playing WoW. So Wulfa got to spend all day watching a baby while someone else was sitting in the living room playing games. So she was frustrated and envious by the time I got home. I was tired and fussy. After the standard get home/eat/cleanup, I started playing WoW(it was my turn). She was able to start playing as well but then drew orclette agro when orclette woke up. And about then our world fell apart.


Pent-up frustrations on both sides. Lots of QQ. Lots of sulking.


Also throw in an orclette who was too tired to play/eat/sit but would burst out screaming at the sight of bed(she eventually ate again and then was content to burble and squirm for 20 min while her parents alternated scowling at eachother and grinning at her).


In the end I was so tired of all of it that I offered to stop playing all together(I say I offered... I was mad at the time and right now it sounds like me being passive agressive) so that I wouldn't be playing when she watched the baby.


This morning there was a lot of appologizing all around. She explained why she was frustrated, I explained why I was, we both agreed to try and act more like adults and less like the 3 year olds we are inside.


Oh and I asked if I could post this as this was what we did last night. And she said sure...minus some editing.


For those keeping score... someone has a new doggie(in WoW)... and someone else is 5k xp from 36(with about 4 complete quests and 3 almost complete ones and 3 ones to start next).



Another post to come later on today I think.

Dammy and Wulfa,
That will not be first time you have those nights. My wife and I have those as well. I can't count how many times either I or my wife have said "I'm going to cancel my account.", yet we still play :) Its funny how we get in those moods. The thing is it can come from anywhere. Just keep the faith and remember that you two are much more important than a game.

Gratz to Wulfa for the on-line puppy. It's a start. now onto the RL puppy!

The Cat is Out of the Bag

I wonder where that expression comes from? There is this fabulous book that can tell you, only I forgot the name of it. Next time I come across it I think I'm going to have to buy it. Anyway. I was going to wait. A long time. Maybe forever. I don't like people coming up and hugging me, smiling and saying congratulations, or asking me questions. But Damm was talking to his recruiter about insurance. And he mentioned something that he should've told the recruiter was non-repeatable, because 5 minutes later the recruiter told Damm's mother (I have no earthly idea why he's talking to her-I keep forgetting to ask). After that I had to tell my mother. We haven't told any extended family members because there are quite a few here celebrating Damm's mother's graduation and that would be the worst form of torture I can imagine. So yeah, I'm knocked up again :P And this time I'm getting the t-shirt. "It" is due August 11. I have not been to a doc...

There be too much history.

By
For the past couple of weeks Damm and I have been faithfully spending an hour each day working on our respective summer projects-he on his writing and me on Spanish and history. I had previously mentioned wanting to create some sort of series that I’d work on throughout the summer. I did a bit of brainstorming and decided that I should write essays on bits of fun and fascinating history. Then I started thinking up topic ideas and realized that I didn’t have enough time to randomly pick subjects, research them, and then write entertainingly. So I decided to pick one area of focus. It came down to either Modern Russia or the Civil War Era, since these are the two history courses I’ll be taking in the fall. I chose the Civil War. And even then I have not narrowed my focus enough. The essays one could write on the American Civil War … the possibilities are endless. And so I’m in the process of redefining what I will write/research. I’m in the midst of gathering info for a...

Werewolves are always better.

The question answering post will come tomorrow. Sunday was too busy. I just finished reading Twilight and New Moon . When I first started Twilight I wasn't impressed, it seemed slow and bleh and very teen dating girl story. Last night I got home at about midnight... I picked up New Moon. I was only going to read the ending to the scene that starts in the back of Twilight.... I didn't get much sleep last night(due to finishing New Moon). I'm loving the series. Although, wow these vamps scare me. Why? Because they are harder to kill. After reading the first book I spent 20 min thinking of counters. For a counter to be valid it has to be balanced. I can't just say "I'm superman and Vampires are deathly allergic to me and I heal like wolverine and have a robot army." (although when I ran into the aliens from Alien/Aliens/AvP for the first time, my counter at the time was almost exactly that.) I came up with the Dancer. He's a completely normal ...
