Blogging About Nothing Serious
More ramblings...
My Asheron's Call overview made it to the featured page?! Brad (the allmighty Draginol) took time out of his busy schedule and not only read it, but decided he liked it enough to stick it on the front page! I am incredibly flattered. When I wrote that article it was for a special purpose, and I felt it filled that purpose well. And in doing so, I'm not surprised it only has two comments (and one of them is mine). But getting to the front page? I would not have expected that at all. Not that I'm complaining 
I did go back and spell/grammar check it, since I'm on the front page I should make sure I reflect well on the community. Color me surprised when the spell/grammar checker couldn't find any real errors (just a few preferences in grammar).
In other news... I've been working on a FAQ for JoeUser. While it could still use some work (a little polish and reorganizing), I think it's good enough to share with others. So anyone that wants to read it, link to it, whatever, knock yourselves out. If someone at stardock wants to steal all or parts of it for any future official FAQ (or any other reason) I have no objections. If anyone that is named in it as a source or whatever wants to be unnamed just tell me and I'll make appropriate modifications. And if you find the UIAQ of use, give me a trollhouse cookie 
I'd like to thank iamheather. In general she's a great and caring person (and not the only one of those on JoeUser, so don't feel left out that I'm not thanking everyone personally) and she did two extra nice things for me tonight. The first was to tell me I had a featured article. If she hadn't told me I probably wouldn't have noticed (unless someone else told me or someone commented about it somewhere). I don't look at the featured articles very often because I'll read them when they are first posted. And she noticed I hadn't been around as much and messaged me to see if I was ok. It was nice of her to care.
Which brings me to why I havn't been replying the past day or so (feels like it's been alot longer than that). I've been feeling rather blah. Maybe depressed would be a better word. Not sure why I feel this way, but I do. Is probably a combination of family being crazier then normal because of the holidays, my general unhappiness around the holidays, and some splash off from various stuff on JoeUser. And now I run out of writing steam...
(break to resteam)
Texas Wahine said it well, I'm tired. So I lie around all day. I'll likely feel better in a few days, but in the mean time I don't want to do anything. Which (unfortunately) includes talking to my friends on JoeUser (not that I have friends anywhere else, which is part of my problem).
People write these articles about how certain people are bad because (their arrogant, phony, and I'm not going to bother going on) of whatever reason. And I read those articles and see myself. I'm reasonable certain that they arn't speaking to me, but at the same time I see myself in what they say. The shoe fits all too well. Am I too empathic or am I really that messed up? I'm not really any different from these other people getting booing at, and yet no one seems to get upset at me.
So I guess the long and short of it is I'm a bit down and so not in the mood for writing replies. I'm still reading stuff, and care about my friends here, just no comments for a bit (which will likely change in five minute, such is life).
