Watch out for ID theft.  One of my other computer is still in limbo after a password virus.  And that huge bug uncovered in July isn't helping things much. 

As for things here..., well, I stuck to my Solar New Year resolution and has worked out for 1-2 hours for 20 days (with 4 days rest) now.  I have lost 9 lbs so far, and my goal is 170 lbs, give or take a few.  I am stepping up my weight/strength training next week, and we'll see how it goes.  As for the diet, it's mysterious, but as long as I eat any kind of breakfast, the rest really doesn't matter.  Momentum is also an mysterious thing, as long as I get started/going, I usually go full tilt untill I have to stop, and no rationalizations or procrastinations can paralyze me. 

when you start weights, forget about weightloss. You'll get a weightgain most likely. Lose fat, make muscle, muscle outweighs fat and whatnot.

That thing I was fighting a few months ago?  I lost.
My partner died just before new year and I'm not coming to terms with it.  My sister miscarried and the baby would have been born 4 days ago.
I'm homeless and jobless.  I've got debt up to my eyeballs and no way of paying it off. 
Mike, my cat, is possibly sick but I don't know for sure cause I've had to go away for a few days.

I'm drinking a lot and smoking a lot more than what's good for me. 

I'm staying with a friend who lives on the 14th floor and has a balcony. I sit on his couch.  I look out the window and think about walking over the edge.

I won't tho.  I'll just keep drinking and smoking in stead.

Wow  :(

I'm sorry things haven't worked out for you but I hope you don't do anything drastic. I'll keep you in my prayers and hope that things start to turn around for you soon. Keep posting updates for us as you can.

Geez... sorry to hear about what's going on. If you need someone to talk to, my e-mail's in my profile.
Will I get Night Owl points for quitting but not as much for getting fired?
Will I still be a member of the Owl's Pals? I'd hate to turn in my card. It's got a real owl feather under the lamination and everything.


Night Owl: Oh, indeed. I quit many a job ...better than being fired. You can keep your card... in fact, you get double points for quitting!

I'm going to have a wholesome time visiting the land where a lady goes to live with seven men she hardly knows.

It occurred to me that I haven't actually said anything of my life in here.  Rather than prolong your obvious agony of not knowing the details, here's a summary.

I now have a girlfriend (briefly referenced some time ago) who I met through a local theatre group.  She was the director, I was the lead villain.  It was a match made on her verandah roof (where we'd gone with a couple of her friends to pass the night, singing whatever songs the music director could play on guitar before falling asleep: Apparently it was all a test to see if I snored.)

Said theatre group is performing The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe this year.  I'm playing Aslan!  My girlfriend is not directing (last year's music director is.)  She's playing the Witch.  That's right.  She gets to sacrifice me.  Then I come back to life and kill her.

We also play WoW together and just got our pair of characters up to 80.  I'm a paladin tank, she's a mixed up hunter.  At least I convinced her to stop using tanking pets.  Found her a pretty wind serpent to use instead.

Wind Serpents are cunning pets, which means they're fucking retarded.  A wind serpent's special moves are mana restore (talent) and a gay-ass nuke.  Make that bitch get a dire wolf for the permanent 158 AP raid buff.

My hunter just has one of those ravagers right now cause it was there when I turned 10.  Not sure what pet I'll go for. Wolves seem so boring. I saw some gal with a huge dinosaur the other day.  Being away from the game for so long is strange, so much stuff I don't know about.  But I am fairly certain that we couldn't train dinosaurs from Un'goro before.

Or that two headed wolf.  I saw someone with that as a pet as well.

There are some pretty cool pets though.  I guess with being able to train more then one, there is nothing wrong with having a raid pet and then a pet you love just cause it's cool. Like a  huge wasp....who wouldn't want a wasp as a pet?

Emphasis on the huge. Sholazar wasps don't shrink when you tame them >.>
But yeah, as a buddy of mine mentioned: If you have no rogues or warrior tanks in your party, a Wasp is killer. Physical DPS goes boom :D
My raptor Ishamuhale has been my buddeh forever and he still puts out the most damage. I loves him.

My raven, gorilla, and nether ray are all situational. Like, "am I bored" situational >.>

ok - I just looked up pets and what they are and do and....goodness, there are some cool pets out there.

I want a wasp! *nods* and I totally take back my 'wolves are boring' comment - as I now want a Vargul Blighthound!

and the girly girl in me wants a moth. Though I can only imagine that would be a useless pet.  They certainly are cute though. :D
