Soon as you get over him, you'll find the sweetest rainbow

The start of another work week. Well, for a lot of us, yesterday wasn't a holiday from work, even if we happened to have the day off. David, Lilie and I did. Though I'm not sure if SMAC's open on the 4th of July. Kinda moot, though - Mom's still in Wyoming (?) with Janelle. They get back late Wednesday night. I think. I've been taking care of the dogs, getting the mail, that kind of thing. Got a fairly easy schedule this week - two 6-10 shifts (one was originally a 5-12, but Korey wanted to trade, and I had plenty of hours already). Have another 5-10, then two 5 - C. Of course, those are both this weekend, so they'll be fairly long - around 11 hours each. Fun times. On those two closing shifts, I'm doubled up with Gina, and she's going to basically let me run things, with her avaiable to assist and answer questions as needed. I'm a little nervous, but confident I'll be able to handle it. Wow. I haven't said something like that outside of a game in a while. Go me.

Speaking of games... let's see, Gnometastic is 24 1/2, Magealicious is 10 (Jarrod and I are leveling together, though I may switch that to Katrean if I catch her up), and Katrean's 6. Not very high, and David likes to rib me about having never seen end-game content except while looking at his screen. We've been having a blast grouping togther, which is cool. Did some major revisions on the mods I use and the format of my UI. The base is still CT Mod + Titan Panel, with the following additions:

  • AllBagsOpen
    Automatically opens all bags when visiting a merchant, sending mail, etc.
  • Atlas
    Contains maps of most instances, along with points of interest for each - named mobs, mostly.
  • AutoRepair
    Whenever you visit a repair-enabled vendor, it gives you the option and cost to repair everything you have equipped, and everything in your inventory. Very useful when you graveyard-rez after an instance and want to AH your loot.
  • AvailableOnly
    Causes the filters on trainers to default to Available.
  • bc_ActionBarDrag
    Gives a one button toggle to allow and disable dragging buttons off the toolbars.
  • bc_TrackingMenu
    Changes the normal icon that appears for tracking abilities into a clickable button that brings up a list of all tracking abilities you have, making it easier to change and saving toolbar space.
  • BGFLag
    Shows who has the flag during CTF.
  • CCL
    Stands for Couldn't Care Less; removes several types of messages from your chat log - "So and so is getting drunk", duel messages, and amount of money looted while in a group.
  • easyzoom
    Removes the + and - buttons from the minimap and allows you to change the zoom on the minimap by mousing over it and using the mouse wheel.
  • FilterKnown
    When browsing recipes in the AH, recipes already known by the current character are shaded blue.
  • fond
    Flippance on Demand, allows macros to call random phrases.
  • FriendsFacts
    Records friends' levels, class, and location.
  • FriendsShare
    Creates a global friends list for every character on a server, so you don't have to remember them all for each alt.
  • Gatherer
    Stores locations of herbs and ore.
  • Leeroy
    Enables /leeroy, which plays the Leeroy Jenkins battlecry.
  • Lootlink
    Creates a browseable database of every item you've ever seen.
  • MoveAnything
    Allows you to move around all of the default UI pieces.
  • nodni
    Removes the Day/Night indicator from the minimap; very useful if you have a clock mod which doesn't replace it, such as the one on Titan Panel.
  • PlayerLinkMenu
    Displays a menu when you click on a player's name in the chat log which features a range of options - Who, Invite, Ignore, Whisper, Trade, Inspect, Target, etc.
  • Possessions
    Tracks the possessions of every character - what they're wearing, what's in their inventory, bank, and inbox.
  • QuestHistory
    Tracks pertinent information for quests - locations, etc.
  • SCT
    Scrolling Combat Text - shows numbers above your character, FF style, when you take damage, heal, receive various buffs/debuffs, etc.
  • SelfCast
    Allows you to hold a button to auto-cast spells on yourself.
  • SquidMod
    Changes the gryphons on th sides of the bottom UI bar to murlocs, octopi, or any of the WoW races.


Fun times.

So, now on to my social life.

Hey, stop laughing. As Catrina on Space Cases once said (almost every episode), "Invisible is *not* the same thing as nonexistent." I'm going to go with in a coma for the moment. I haven't talked to Michael or Luke in a *long* time, except when they called me up to get some books I'd left at their place when they moved. I'd really like to get back into some regular D&D action with them. I miss the game. Fun times. Jarrod and I still talk occasionally, mostly while playing WoW. We're going to get some voice-enabled stuff, which will make questing together a lot easier. I haven't talked to Terri since the last time she called (I guess that's a little redundant), though it does merit some explanation. I was going through a major anti-social mood, and didn't really feel like talking to anybody. She called, and I said, almost immediately, "Terri, I'm going to go now." I guess she didn't believe me, or didn't hear me, or something, because she was really surprised when in a few moments, I told her I was leaving, and did. It wasn't a very nice thing to do, granted, and I wrote her an email a few days later explaining myself and apologizing. She called me later that day, but I was at work, and we've emailed twice since then. It's been a while, though. Same with Carrie. Kind of. I rarely see her online anymore, though she did say she was going to be working at a Fireworks Stand for a while. In that same converation, she reaffirmed her determination to come down here and visit, which would be awesome. Saw Mindy at Wal-Mart, haven't really been back there since at the right time to see her again, haven't talked to her since. I'm debating whether or not I want to. Lilie feels I might still have some residual feelings for her. I don't know. It's also quite possible she doesn't want anything to do with me, given how things ended between us. Fun times.

Speaking of Lilie... nah, I'll get into that later.
