Oodles of Ooddities Plus Drama-O-Rama. 61st Journal
15 years ago
This is my head.
Well, I predicted that I would lose six watchers after posting that bloody bunny drawing of mine and while it took a few days, I was right on the money. No surprise there. I also figured to gain at most two watchers but just got my sixth, evening things out (Now seven, wow. Such madness. Oops, just gain another two. I am starting to like this). That is the odd part. I guess there are more fans of the messy gory stuff than I realized.
Another big shocker is that I got over 500 views on that drawing (now overt 600. I haven't gather that many eyes in a long time, since back in September 2007 in fact). The last time I gone over that was four months ago and nothing else going back a year or so. A pleasant surprise. I wish I get more of that.
Speaking of wishing, I would love to get more comments. Seems that I do get the views here and there but hardly anyone comments. Hell, my last journal got zero, none, zilch, nada, nothing. a big fat goose egg. I should be used to such lack of response but I don't think I ever will be.
My new computer I wrote about in my journal (where I got zero comments) is doing well. My so-called artwork is going much smoother especially the brush and smudge tools. Too bad my talent doesn't match. And online gaming much nicer also. I started playing multiplayer again and getting better. The Sunday before last, I done my best on Counter Strike: Source ever. I got 34 kills with one death at the beginning of that session. Unfortunately, a few of those 'one shot killer magic aimers' started to come in and my kill ratio dropped. But I still ended up with a positive ratio by the time I finished playing for the day.
I don't think GIMP makes full use of the multiprocessors as it still flakey in some stuff. But overall much better than the P4 of my previous art machine. Weather that increases my arty output remains to be seen.
About my little brother, he went to the hospital again falling down and broke a rib. He is out now but the it took a while for the doctors to diagnose the broken bone. They took a CAT scan the first day but only did the x-ray a couple of days later.
Oh, one more thing. I just had a bit of drama in my #bellyofthebeast channel on FurNet. I had a few minor ones but this time it blew up. I knew it would eventually as I see such things before but I been lucky. Basically a few people hated this one guy and wanted me to ban him. I am not the type to take sides as it just makes a bigger mess (been there, done that). Besides, I am not their babysitter. IF they can't get along, then they can leave. One person got in a huff and did leave, probably for good. Too bad as I enjoyed role playing with the guy. Oh well, the old saying goes something like this, 'if you can stand the heat, get out of the kitchen'.
And like I knew it would, it died down like all the others. No need to fan the flames by jumping into the mess. I could flare up again but at least they would know not to come crying to me, demanding to solve their personal petty fight. This dragon don't play that. I do ban though rare and it has to be for a real reason. If someone don't like a guy, then it is their problem and not mine. Leave me out of the senseless scrabbles please. I have real drama in real life to deal with and don't have time to mess with made up online crap. I could go on and on but I'll stop my ranting.
Anyway, it took me a while to get this journal out. Been a busy (and lazy) one as per my usual. I have more to report but I am sure I already bored any of you that even manage to read this far. I wonder if anyone read these things. Like I said before, I got zero commends on my last one. >.<

FA+

Hope your brother gets better. Broken ribs are not fun at all. x_x
Also: loldrama. :< Let the good times troll.
Anyway. POSTIN'
Badass Bronze Dragoness is badass.
Also: Will post more comments.
Lots of spaces.
I dig it.
Also: ONE POINT TWENTY ONE JIGAWATTS
But thanks for the comment. I didn't think people actually read my musings as they are quite boring and tend to be long (longer if I wasn't so lazy).
That really sucks for your brother: never fun have medical conditions that causes problems during your life. :< Cutting back on smoking can be, super, super hard and most people don't go through, sadly enough.
You pretty much beat my record for kills in a first person shooter game without dying. Congrats!
I also try to avoid drama as much as possible and I think it's unfortunate when people ruin good things because of it. Sorry to hear about that.
As for the drama, it didn't bother me all that much as I see it a lot in other channels. All sound and fury, signifying nothing is how I look at it. This things tend to blow over eventually... then something new pops up. It is all a big cycle and I don't get worked over it as I once might have. I tried to explained it is no big deal to the guy demanding the ban. He kept calling me a weak admin for sitting back while I told his I am quite the opposite. Weak admins bans left and right, sweeping the problem under the rub instead of actually solving it. It soon becomes a matter of 'he said, she said' and no one comes away happy. I much rather for them to grow up and settle their difference on their own like adults, ignore each other if they can't find common ground or just leave on their own.
No matter what they do, I am not their to fight their battles. Oh well, I think I rant enough... too much perhaps. But my view is simple, I won't take sides in their person matter.
Damn, that was a long reply. Sorry about that but got going with my writing and a bit carried away
