Off The Wall / Re: Latest Buys
« on: December 18, 2012, 09:14:08 AM »
There was a stand at CVI that sold a whole bunch of Kinder Surprise goodies. Just the toys, though, not the chocolate. Though, while I was in Orlando, I discovered the British section of Wal-mart and bought a whole bunch of Bounty bars.
They are delicious. Delicious-coated delicious.
As for my latest buys? Some groceries and a gift for my brother. Oh, and Chinese takeout. Let's see, I ordered shrimp mei fun, fried vegetable balls, and spring rolls.

I'm hoping the custom t-shirt I ordered arrives in time for Christmas. I'm not holding my breath, though.

Drew this up for a Christmas card to send to my grandpa.
First time drawing Threepio and Artoo since, well... since ever. And I must have been feeling ambitious, as the linework is entirely ink.

You, however, do take responsibility for your own behavior.
But, relationships are joint projects—it takes two to tango, to use an overused phrase. So, I guess you can't blame one or the other in this situation.
...what have my new, nerdier glasses turned me into??

Might be a high-traffic period... or just some daily maintenance being performed. Or, as Flame said, residual crap leftover from the move. Some pages may be trying to look for the new vixynyan address, even though they shouldn't be, and the redirect just hadn't kicked in.

« on: December 14, 2012, 06:12:24 AM »Well... I was the jerk in this friendship. I gave her more attention in more ways than she wanted, not to mention using her to constant vent my every little frustration. She eventually got tired of it and started giving me the cold shoulder more often than not. The friendship falling apart had been building for a while.
I eventually got my [parasitic bomb] together and started (mostly) treating her right, but the damage was already done. She wanted nothing to do with me, and told me so the last time we had a serious discussion about our friendship. But she added, "If there's any chance you can change, then I'll stay friends." So we stayed friends. But like I said, too little, too late. She still treated me like a nothing.
This doesn't really read to me as you being a "jerk." An enabler, yes, but not a jerk.
Quote
I think I finally just got tired of being treated like that yesterday when her reaction to the nine-page story I wrote partially for her was "It was okay." Nobody [tornado fang]ing tells me something I worked so hard on is just "okay". Especially not their one of their characters is involved.Now this attitude is her fault. The blame squarely lays with her. You had put effort into something that she wanted, and she didn't acknowledge it in the least.
Quote
That wasn't the primary reason I finally called it off, but that was definitely the straw that broke the camel's back. It wasn't even a creepy story or anything. The characters acted and reacted naturally. I can't imagine she hated me so much that the very idea of her extremely neglected character together with my own would revolt her that much. But I guess it did. So, whatever...
So, she's apparently terrible at proper character development and portraying characters in a realistic fashion? Again, her shortcoming. She sounds very similar to someone I knew by proxy of another friend; air-headed and finicky, who thought that Twilight was the bastion of high literature. Some people are very cloistered and lack the social wherewithal to function properly in society without resorting to childish games and creepy role-playing. This may be a product of their upbringing—perhaps they were spoiled and now demand entitlement. They expect everyone to bend to their whim and can't seem to take responsibility for their own actions and poor behavior.
This is not something that you can control. You have few recourse in relationships such as these and they include complete avoidance, or dwindling the relationship to an acquaintance level. I've used both methods, though I find the latter to work well for relationships in which you can't bring yourself to end. If there is still something about a person that you like, but everything else about them drives you nuts, keep them as a casual acquaintance. You'll be there if they really need you, but there will be enough distance to keep yourself from going crazy over their behavior.

Of course, you'd need the deoxygenated water for that to look good. That, of course, means boiling the water before freezing it. Lot of work.
Totally worth the effort!

I did my laundry and worked on a Christmas card. I just spent two-three hours drawing C-3PO entirely in ink. I still have R2-D2 to draw, and when I'm done, I'll scan the image.

I haven't had a problem yet. Is this intermittent, or does it seem to occur at a certain time?

The word "Jubjub" appears in Lewis Carroll's poem [[Wikipedia:Jabberwocky|Jabberwocky]]: "Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun / The frumious Bandersnatch!"
