Riddle me this, Istaria. How often have you heared these words - or at least seen them written?
Ten times? Twenty? I'm sure you perhaps hear it every day. Let me make one thing clear. When does 'no-life' begin and end? When you have no reason to do anything else, and end up doing nothing, spending all of your free time online?
I myself get the comment alot. I don't mind talking about it. I am a no-lifer. I am proud of it. But I find it degrading and stupid when people simply resort to pitty-talking anyone they dislike with "you have no life" or otherwise.
But what really has made me twitch is that recently I have been getting it from people whom seemingly have boasted about their OWN playtime , and surpass my own endurance (Which is very surprising) and this has began to annoy me.
Would you not get annoyed if this happened to you daily?
Another thing which has began to annoy me - and do not take this the WRONG way people...is the lack of good roleplay around.
I am NOT saying that Istaria's roleplayers are bad in any way. Infact - I came here just to escape the garbage there is out there. You are all very accomplished. But this is literally my only sanctuary left. I remember at last 2-3 years ago I could find great roleplay abound! I would literally have problems keeping UP with roleplays due to their extreme content that I literally could not comprehend. Literally. I would have to shut off my MSN just to consentrait on reading a paragraph. I have been suggested to look for roleplay forums but I cannot find any alive.
What HAS happened to the standards of roleplay lately? I have literally been dumbfounded how every single game that HAD a decent roleplay community has been tarnished by floods upon floods of noobs and trolls.
And finally - a personal peeve, what can one do when they are angry? I have a bit of a problem...I am easily offended and sometimes a tad self-concious. I do my best to appear chipper and bright but I fear that I might accidetially offend one person - leading to everyone hating me. I suppose it is a bit of a fear...an irrational one. One cannot please everyone.
But what can one do to get over that? I sometimes find myself holding back insults, trying to be nice to people and they keep being stuburn and keep bothering OTHERS as a result.
RANT OVER! :3
