I have really become a cranky bastard over the last few weeks.

EMBRACE IT. IT IS YOUR DESTINY.

Yeah, I hate not having a job.  Even though there's still money.

Anyway, Matt Kilb and Joseph came along and demanded my bad day, on the FB discordian thingie.  So I feel slightly better.

Mine was only to be the fucking idiot I am. I've felt like shit since. This is because I was shitty. I'm sorry and now realize you have every right to be mad and to block me. I got angry and stupidly afraid of yet another pointless fight cropping up. I should have simply contacted you with what I was thinking. Instead I shit posted thoughtlessly. I'm not going to go on about it, but I've tried to analyze why I behaved as I did. The butthurt is mine. I regret it and the thing is there's no undoing it. I'll have to live with it.

Sadly I don't think my boyfriend is going to be too keen on posting in your group anymore.

It's too bad, he was going to post the step-by-step development of his plum beer recipe with photos.

But it did at least reinforce that Discordian groups on Facebook aren't for either of us, albeit for different reasons.

Well I apologize. I thought his parody was some form of attempt to subtly resurrect that meme, which I learned to HATE in 2014. There have been various attempts at shitstarting by the Discofuks. One recent example was a possible sock that slipped the filter. Argument: "I don't have any problem with saying N" because he was just a super awesome artistic genius and was into hip-hop. He quickly came to my attention and kept trying to edge around the rules of discourse to be a dick. I ultimately banned him and deleted his shitty trollthread. Part of me saw the same posting pattern, but I was unsure and really DID want a recipe as , uh, proof..yeah. Howl clued me in. Please give him my sincere regards and sorry. That really was funny and emulated well enough to make me VERY UNSURE without other info.

On another note Nigel I understand if you're not into the group, especially if I offended you & your boyfriend, but I partly came to ask if you're willing to admin and so am asking anyway. We had one step down and his replacement qualifier was to find a female, of which we have none. If you're understandably not interested we'll ask the group for volunteers and select that way. I nominated you and so was sent to ask. We need the Science Nigel. Need it!

Gotta get to work, check back later!

I will happily accept your invite to admin, because it will totally freak out a number of people.

However, I should give you the heads-up that I will completely disappear for periods of time up to a month long due to issues like being in the rainforest, or Finals. If that is incompatible with your admin needs, probably another person would be a better choice.

Far as I'm concerned our current admin needs are plurality, smarts, and occasional induction of extra stress hormones into primate brains post-utero.

Take however long off whenever. Just knowing that YOU'LL BE BACK should strike appropriate terror. A little warning could be good for the rest of us, but there's no code of conduct in the "oligarchy". Also I'm the last of the original 3 for now. The idea was to keep it to 5 persons and see where it went. I'm only even on speaking terms with one other. Don't really know the rest. Thanks for accepting!

2015 will be SO much better now I think.

DS 2015 is now my preferential dumping ground for posts that don't really seem to belong anywhere else. :)

Today was my 5th day in the lab.

I watched the grad student who is the boss of me dissect one of my snake heads to remove the brain. Damn, that is a messy, messy job.

Is it weird to write the week's role playing game's plot in your head while you slap someone around?

Because it seems weird.

I see shit from the 1970's and think, man, people were so primitive back then.

And then I realize that means I'm like one of those people who remembers polio.

In fact, I think I'm just going to take a moment to think back fondly on the shitty diseases that were still mysterious and/or incurable in my childhood, and then write a paean to the Good Old Days when you could still have the Confederate Battle flag on teevee.

Please do.

In other news, I played drums for the first time in several weeks.


I'm still pretty good at it.

Is this surprising?  Because I've heard your stuff, of course, and talent like that doesn't vanish in a few weeks.

So, good news, Home Depot called me back about my drug test results, which i was  bit worried about. So, looks like i'm employed.

Bad News, tonight my mother found out that her brother is losing his battle with cancer and had to suddenly fly home from our Arizona trip because he only has 4-5 days left. I wanted to go with her, but we couldn't swing the extra last minute ticket

Nah, it had just been a while.  Makes me itchy when I don't play.  Plus, it was Heaves and not Whirlpools(RIP), and we hadn't gotten together in over a month.  Good playing with those kids again.

I personally don't see a disconnect. Coming up with plot is just slapping someone around by other means. The good stuff comes from the same basically evil part of the brain. Hate the players just right and they will love you for it!

Life can be seen as a game with no reset button, no extra lives, and if the power goes out there is no restarting.  If that's all you see life as you are not long for this world, and never will get it.
