There's no one here at Zoic (I think there might be someone cuz I saw a light, but I didn't want to investigate) but I'm waiting out the traffic, listening to KPCC online, eating free food (yay for spending less money!), and working on my animation homework. I'm realizing that I've been a very bad girl and not doing my homework. Or at least, not working on it enough. And the culprit is... tada, a lack of discipline. Sigh.
RSVPs are coming in the mail! Pretty cool. Be sure to send yours in!

It's hard being a Gnome!
World of Warcraft is a very interesting game, especially when you play on an RP server. Because it is very obvious after you play for awhile, that certain personality types are drawn to certain races. I don't know much about the Horde races, beyond that we out number them about 4 to 1 from what I hear, and that they are proud of being ugly. However I do know about the Alliance Races. Dwarves tend to be very quiet, a lot of them enjoy role playing the whole "Scottish" accent thing that dwarves have going on. Human's are a mixed lot, because a lot of people simply gravitate towards something they know. Night Elves on the other hand almost all completely suck! I know my lovely bride to be is a Night Elf, and enjoys being a tall beautiful Night Elf, but most people think Elf = snooty and arrogant, which is annoying. Gnome players on the other hand are all completely insane. On our realm we have a Gnome Rogue who picks locks advertising himself as "the naked Gnome," I routinely run around screaming "Gnome Power" etc. Basically as a race we don't take ourselves all that seriously, however we get really upset that people don't take us all that seriously. Most other players consider Gnomes to be a joke, and thus treat us as such. I have had people sit on me, I get picked on in Stormwind (the human city) because to use the Bank I have to climb up on the counter just to see the man, I get to listen to people over general chat say things like "Gnome sandwiches are tasty." It doesn't help much that as part of our lore we irradiated our city to try and kill of the Trogg's that were invading... and thus almost completely destroyed it. But it completely sucks. Plus the horde really hate us, because as part of being insane Gnome players are normally very very smart... I guess it's an insane genus sort of thing. We tend to play our characters very well, and since we are so short it is very easy to miss exactly what we are up to, and it is very hard to target us. On the battlegrounds we are very dangerous, over half of the really good battleground players are Gnomes.
Anyway be nice to the Gnomes, we are people to.

Such an up-and-down day.... And you know what's at the root of all my problems?
My parents.
Well, to be accurate, I have plenty of problems that stem from other sources in my life, but none of them causes a fraction of the headache that my parents cause.
Sigh. I'm not asking for much. I just want them to treat Whateley like they treat my sister's husband. Or hell, if they treat him as half as nicely as they treat my sister's husband, I'd be satisfied.
Whateley's family loves me and already accepts me as a daughter. My family doesn't even call him by his real name. :(
On a happier note, Whateley and I joined a gym! Perhaps I can firm up enough to look perfect in my wedding dress. Unless, of course, I end up losing a lot of weight and not having the dress fit anymore. Hmmm.... (I don't think I'll have to worry about that.) Next baby-step fitness goal: to last longer than 20 mins on the gazelle machine.

Invitations will be going out in the mail soon, so if you don't get one within a week, then you should contact me. (Though... maybe I didn't send you one....)
According to my Dad's list, we only have 98 people in our family (up to second cousin). That ain't too bad. 'course, that list is a bit out of date.
Tired....

Stephen Colbert is my hero. He had the guts to do what the "real" press wouldn't, he had the guts to "tell" the truth, and if you're too stupid to understand his satire, then you and Bush truly deserve each other.
(The above link is to a website which has links to Stephen Colbert's speech given at the White House Correspondent's Dinner, given right in front of the President, and some say it was a "roast." I'd say he was skewered and stuffed in a pig and barbecued over hot coals.)
If I want the truth, I won't watch the "news." No, I will watch The Colbert Report and The Daily Show. I bet the administration is beating themselves that they even considered asking Stephen Colbert to speak at this event. Hahahaha.
