On Bad Moods

[sinjun]

For some reason I'm not feeling like updating this thing much lately.

Not sure why.

Probably means I'm in a snit over something and just don't want to talk about it. Not to worry, I'll get over it. Whatever /it/ is.

I'm discovering some of the joys and headaches of staffing on a MU*, especially when there's been other staff who had different interpretations than I do. Or even than most of the current staff does. It's interesting, in some ways, but it's also aggravating and upsetting. This I don't think is what's put me into this mood. I mean, maybe it has, but I've been talking about this one. At least to some degree.

It's not the happiest of things, and I do wish it had been kept private. But it wasn't, really. It leaves me feeling caught in the middle. I've heard all sides, I think. And really, everyone has valid points. Too bad there doesn't appear to be a workable compromise.

Well, there might be, but tempers are too hot to consider that possibility.

Yeah, so I'm lying to myself and this does have something to do with my mood. I hate it when folks are depressed, even more so when it's folks I consider my friends.

Things change, or they never were what you thought they were in the first place.

But that doesn't mean anyone has to like it.

On to more amusing topics ...
With Heroes down, I was RPing Serena a little more this past week. Since I logged on and there were folks there, even. It amused me just a touch, as I instituted a plot I'd been planning for quite a while. Even got permission from Foxfire for it. So, Serena is now working her way into having the stereotypical humanoid form. Right now, she doesn't have a clue how she became human, or what it all means. Nor can she turn back into a Dragon. Oops.

Well, wouldn't want to make it too easy on the alt, would I?

Tried to rp on Two Moons, but there wasn't hardly anyone on. Lots of solo folk all off in their own little corners of the world. Boring. So, that mu* got left out.

Something else that added to my mood yesterday ... of all the folks who said they were looking for rp from me, only one showed up. I know that real life takes precedence, but there is a real person somewhere through that internet, folks. And there's only so often I will take being ditched without notice before I just stop believing.

Well, I suppose things rarely are what they appear to be at least in essence. That isn't always a bad thing and niether is change. Afterall, one can't see where the path takes them after it dissappears around the bend. Maybe you've heard this one...maybe not...but I'm sure I'll retell it in my own screwed up way...:)

In China, a long time ago, a rancher's son managed to catch a wild stallion and placed him in the corral. The rancher's neighbor saw this and said "that is good. You now have another horse". The rancher smiled and said, "Maybe, maybe not."

The next day the horse sprung free by kicking open the gate. The stallion led other horses to freedom. The nieghbor said, "This is bad." The Rancher shrugged and said, "Maybe, maybe not."

The Stallion returned with even more horses than it had led off. Once again the nieghbor declared this to be a fortunate thing while the rancher gave his usual reply. Of course the Rancher may have been proved right once again when one of the new horses threw him, breaking the boy's leg. The Neighbor said that surely this was a bad thing. The Rancher smiled and said, "Maybe, maybe not."

The Chinese army came looking for recruits in it's fight against the Mongols, the rancher's son couldn't go because of his leg, thus sparing his life.

Chin up:)

The parallels are astounding.

*grins*

thanks.

Just one thing? Don't forget to take your own advice, hmm?

Taking our own advice is often the hardest thing to do:)

er - 'scuse me

You said, amongst other things:

Owowouch! that hurts - I'm sorry this is all happening to you at once. Can I offer a very small and gentle comforthug?

Thank you.

One of the reasons I stopped doing a lot of MU* stuff (I barely do anything nowdays, just what I get prodded into doing, as you're aware of, but I used to do a lot of stuff), was it just became too much of a hassle, particularly with people taking stuff too seriously. I've been guilty of this too, but fortunately there aren't many people around still who know of some of my excesses (although I've been avoiding a few people for about...hmm...17 months now, which has contributed to me doing less hardcode work - when I decide to avoid someone, I'm really, really good at it, and stuborn). Things just go sour when people start taking things too seriously, unfortunately.

But cheer up, it's not the end of the world. :)

Mmm. There has to be a balance between taking things too seriously, and not seriously enough though.

Either way, it's a problem.

*snugs* Thanks for the support.
