  2. My laptop went belly up :( SSD is dead, hoping to salvage something from it and to replace it but until I can, I am cut off from gaming. My heart is broke.

      It’s not the drive it’s likely the motherboard. I now own a very fancy brick.

      It's a gorgeous sandbox it really is. Very easy to get overwhelmed at first but take it slow and try everything.

      I miss you too! Been super crazy busy with this pretty girl. She's a hopeful candidate to work with my son and we're in love :) Between two classes most weeks of dog stuff, BDO releasing and general life crazyness it's been hectic. Trying to play more... I just end up in BDO more than GW2! I hope you're doing well!

  6. still alive, still kicking, but busy playing neverwinter

      It's a D&D type game like Neverwinter Nights. It's tricky to get the hang of after GW2 but fun. It's free to play but like GW2 there's a cash shop... only their cash shop seems more like it COULD be used as play to win.

  7. I've made a great mistake.... I researched Guild Wars 2 and now have a yearning to test it out. *Must resist temptation*

      It can be pretty addicting but I struggled learning SWTOR after being so into GW2... however, I am an odd duck of a gamer anyway. I hope you enjoy it when you get logged in!

    I am absolutely doomed with math. And it's only basic algebra. What was that? Oh nothing, just my IQ shrinking.

    Today on the bus ride home from campus, I was openly stared at, jeered and laughed at, heckled, and had pictures taken of me. The reason? Because I do not often shave my legs. The initial reasons that prompted me to no longer shave were related to difficulty in seeing in the shower, sensitive skin, and my general inflexibility for the twisting and turning needed to get every part on my legs. I never considered chemicals to use in place of a razor as a high priority, as I had Australia, a new computer, and then Vegas to save for. These days, I've grown accustomed to it and don't feel it should be something to be ashamed of. I'm not interested in taking obscenely long showers in a state that is experiencing record low levels in our water reservoirs, and don't feel like adding to my hygiene routine when it isn't an actual necessity.

    I wear dresses, skirts, anything that I have in my wardrobe. I have never experienced such hurtful and disgusting behavior concerning my appearance and choice to not shave as I have today. Hair is natural. I have damn fine legs with or without it. I truly wish I could say this kind of behavior was the only type I've experienced, but it isn't. I've had my own father tell me that he believes I have less "class" as a woman for not shaving, despite being well-dressed and groomed otherwise. 

    I wear what I want. I'm not making any kind of condemnation against society by choosing not to shave. I simply choose not to because I don't want to be bothered with the extra time. Time is important to me. Today on the bus ride home I had 6-7 high school girls openly denigrate me. Every which way I looked there was either someone with their phone out to take pictures, someone laughing loudly, someone pointing it out to their friend, or the one or two who were clearly embarrassed by their friends, but disinterested in doing anything to stop the abuse. I have never written a status update this long. After this, however, I felt it necessary to not only vent my feelings after it, but to share a part of myself that almost no one here knows. In my life I've become accustomed to assuming so many people will think I'm some crazed flower child wanting to make a statement. It isn't okay for me to change the way I feel comfortable based on an assumption that I shouldn't be worried about in the first place. 

    Here's lookin' at you, Vegas group of last year. I shaved just for you.

      People who follow the religion of the Sikh are religiously obligated to cut no hair on their bodies, no matter where it may be. There's a young lady who has PCOS who has a rather glorious beard that she cannot cut because of this. She endures what you described and turned it into a rocking statement on accepting oneself. I hope the people who did this realize that it reflects far more on themselves than on you! It might be many years before that happens, but I hope it happens.

  18. I miss you, GW2 friends. My computer still won't play games. I think I may need to physically remove the graphics card to check it but I'm scared that I'll screw it up...

      Your name is BeardManly. You cannot fail. (also, good luck)

  19. Taking my son's dog back to where she was born and trained tomorrow for some evaluations. Excuse me while I feel like the meanest most awful mom ever doing this to them both. She will hopefully be back to us by the end of summer but we'll see.

      She has been having a couple of issues that could be behavioral or medical. They're going to sort that out so she can come home and have a long and happy career without worry.
