Trying... so hard... to write... all funny... is gone... *flop*

Progressing nicely on Kingdom of Loathing, where I am Cleolinda (a Beat Snatcher is me!) and desperately dreading the eventual reset, but there you go. I checked my inventory and--well, I saw a ton of stuff I didn't recognize, but I only had two messages where people sent me things (and thank you muchly!), so I can't figure out how I got 300+ Magicalnesses in Cans, etc. Do I have some mysterious benefactor to thank, or do I need to send Jick a bug report...?

(If you're new to the game or even fairly experienced, you may find the KoL Item Locator helpful. And you know--I think KoL is so addictive precisely because it has a daily cutoff. Sneaky bastards.)

I'm helping Sister Girl get started; meanwhile, I'm plugging away at Neoquest II just to get the RPG itch out of my system. (Hey, I worked on Titanic all day. I want to play now.) I'm gelsomina on Neopets--my cleolinda account was frozen a few years back. (I learned the rule on multiple accounts the hard way, let's just put it that way.) I actually haven't played Neopets in a month or two, but I always end up coming back to it. Even so, I'm still struggling to reach a million np after three years as it is, so don't anybody try to hack my account thinking it's some kind of prize.

(I should really stop posting links to all these games, for y'all's sake if nothing else. Apparently I have contributed to quite a decline in workplace productivity recently.)

Also, I thought I had misplaced my Croatian again, but the Official Squishy has returned and is safely back at home. My stepfather has, thank the Jesus, finally found a new job so he can leave the old one he hates. My mother's starting her new job at the end of the month, I think Sister Girl is staying at the Culinard after all, God's in His heaven, etc. Now, if I can just make all this rambling and note-taking turn into a cohesive parody or two, we'll be in business...

It's just a nickname to use on LJ instead of her real name, that's all.

It's not as bad as it could have been. Really. You could have been listening to... um... well, I can't think of anything right now, but I'll get back to you.

I'm listening to AC/DC. Thought I'd put that out there.

Oh neopets... Oh multiple accounts. I had about 90, no joke. Years later, the guilt finally got to me and I sent in a letter confessing. And I just checked my account, they haven't frozen me. Ha... Oh man.

DUDE. How did you manage that? I had like ten, and they busted my ass so hard. Of course, I was using them to play the Wheel of Excitement, back when it was only 100 np and once an hour and it hit 10,000 a lot more frequently than it does now...

It would be tres easy :) and I am more than willing to give them to someone who actually plays.

Awww. Yeah, they have a bad habit of messing with the pets. If you really aren't going to play, then sure, send it over. I'll put up some dummy trades you can use. But if you ever want to play again, let me know and I'll give it back. :)

Just try it. Very tongue-in-cheek RPG.


Oh, and I had .. three or four Neopets accounts and used them a lot and never got frozen; and my sister had three or four at the same IP (same computer) ... *shrug*

Gwhaha!

I wasn't going to join KoL. I wasn't. Then I saw that you could be a Turtle Tamer, and I was sucked in. I mean, I'm studying turtles for my Master's. How can I NOT be a Turtle Tamer? Now I'm ccaretta, a level 4 Turtle Tamer, who's wandering around, waiting for more turns, and wanting to eat more.

Oh well. Not like I actually do anything constructive anyway.

Relax. The funny, like the tides, will return. (I have no idea what that means, but it sounds so true.)

The online games are crack. I will never, ever, recover.

I actually haven't played Neopets in a month or two, but I always end up coming back to it.

Hmmm. I've never played this neopets game. I wonder if it would be a bad idea considering my weak, easily addicted personality great willpower and sense of self-discipline.

Also, I thought I had misplaced my Croatian again, but the Official Squishy has returned and is safely back at home.

Awww. Yay!

My stepfather has, thank the Jesus, finally found a new job so he can leave the old one he hates. My mother's starting her new job at the end of the month, I think Sister Girl is staying at the Culinard after all, God's in His heaven, etc.

This is all, all good. I hope.

arrgh, i just get out of king of chaos, thinking i could be unaddicted to a worktime video game thingy, and then you come along and kill me with kingdom of loathing!

hate you.

oh, ok fine. you're forgiven. (my anger is pretty fleeting) But i have enough trouble doing any work when i check lj 5 times a day, let alone when i fight haunted cans of asparagus or play the slots at the casino.

Work? What work? Me no work. An adventurer is me!

Can i join your clan? :)

I played Neopets for such a long time, and then I forgot the password to my account, and had changed my email before, so they couldn't send it to me. *shrug* I'm glad I'm not addicted to it anymore.

My friend and I really like that "pieces of me" song. And we hate ourselves for it.

In other news, I saw Titanic on DVD for $9.44 at circuit city. I almost bought it, then I remembered I wasn't even sure why I bought it on VHS the first time... which could be why it's at my parents' house now, collecting dust.

See, I like that "La La" song with the chorus about being a French maid and an alley cat. My sister bought the CD and has been playing it 24/7 and it was inescapable.

"When funny is lacking," the sage says, "Seek funny in the anals of history. Or perhaps that's 'annals'." This was once paraphrased by Milton Berle as: "I know a good joke when I steal one."

Remember that a millihelen is the amount of beauty it takes to launch *one* ship. Likewise, one Gigglebit subsumes and encompasses any number of Terrorbits. In memory, that is. Or perhaps the reverse. Whatever.

Btw, I've played to level 3 in KoL and can only describe the game as...meaty. The graphics: minimalist, even...linear.
