there'd be no distance that could hold us back

So I finally got fed the fuck up with PvP shenanigans and I'm switching two of my toons over to the Durotan PvE server :| I ADORED the rare occasions wherein a Hordie would help me out with a quest rather than electing to gank me (a favor which I returned) and afterward we'd exchange a little /nod or /bow and be on our merry ways. But (and this is something I probably knew from the beginning) having a personal set of PvP rules, having principles about who I gank (read: people who are actually worth honor points to me, not lowbies, people who aren't questing so as I don't screw up their quest, people who aren't totally being douches) has done me very little good as, let's face it, this is the internet and as long as people have the opportunity to be anonymous dicks, they will take it. Actually functioning on honor doesn't mean very much at all.

So if anyone is on Durotan US (Alliance side), look up my 39 paladin Anaan, or soon my 80 Death Knight Dähaka is going to be transferring over, as soon as I tie up some loose ends. Or if you run across me, just give me a /poke and I'll help you kill mobs :)



I reminded myself of why I love visiting ontd_political today with this article wherein the "author" is the illustration of what Stephen Colbert is parodying while berating Stephen for apparently representing one of the most dangerous trends in America right next to Islamic terrorism. I...have no words. Stephen couldn't have written this. At first I



but then I




In less wanktastic/lulzy news, someone made an Andrew Bird picspam that outlines his constant state of pure awesome, and my eyes are HUGE HEARTS ^____^ Do yourself are favor and check it out!

Whew. Spent the first roughly thirty minutes of my omg-finally-off-work-for-today time promptly freaking the fuck out because I couldn't find my laptop and the downstairs door was unlocked. Downstairs where everyone and their moms can see it because there are UNNECESSARILY GIANT FUCKING OCTAGONAL WINDOWS, and of course I left it there this morning because I was braindead from 4:45 wake-up + only one cup of coffee + being slightly late to leave for work :| Only to learn my brother slid it under the couch because it was sitting on the little table he likes to use for his coffee, fucker. Close to tears cuz John decided my lappy wasn't a good enough coaster, wtf.

Had to take the day off from work last Thursday. No, not only because the Andrew Bird concert was Wednesday night and LA made me get home at one in the morning. (I wake up @ 4:45 and start work at 6, btw.) But once consciousness did surface, I found myself unable to roll over in my bed because apparently leprechauns punched me repeatedly in the kidneys while I slept through it ;__; And evidently pain in the kidneys also = mild nauseousness? Cuz I could barely keep anything down.

For the record I feel better now, but only about 85-90%. Can't afford to take more days off, can't afford to lose my job.

Manager gave me a whatever-month appraisal, too. Said I was an excellent worker. Yet I was ranked 8th out of 11 on the scale of Awesome Team Members, like, what? I hate having a completely arbitrary totem poll system on the job; it's so misleading. I mean, if you're at the bottom, you're continually fretting whether or not you're going to get fired, even if you're not really in danger. But you keep thinking you'll just quit before they can fire you, because getting fired? Not looking too good on the resume.

Flames. On the sides of my face.

Random: is it bad that movies/songs/etc. never make me cry?

Hard to get me to do anything other than listen to Noble Beast at the moment. Here, have a live performance vid of my fav song off it.
