Chillin' with the dogs, since they were acting weird earlier and I don't have to worry about them escaping if I'm in the room with them. My brother's room is actually pretty cozy, so that's shiny.

Yesterday I met up with a friend to study for an English test tomorrow, and although we didn't actually spend all that much time quizzing off of my flashcards, we did spend plenty of time chatting over coffee, and it was really nice to hear that I'm not the only person who has all the issues that I have. It does raise some, um, other possible issues (I've heard the kinds of things that people say about her, for example, that relate to some of her issues, and since I have some of the same issues, I wonder if people say the same things about me - so I have to remind myself that I've got nothing to prove to anybody, and whatever they say behind my back doesn't matter and reflects more on them than it does on me).  I had fun, though, so I'd say that it was a success.

I also played about a million hours of Latale... predictably. I spent a couple of hours on Saturday levelling a freshly-rolled warrior up to about twelve, and the rest of Saturday and yesterday levelling my engineer more, up to twenty-four now. I was tweeting kind of a lot at the time, as well... mostly stuff like OMFG BEARS and OMFG MORE BEARS and FUCK BEHEMOTH STOMACH... things like that. (ughhhhh, so many quests in Behemoth Stomach. I get swarmed every time by monsters that aren't the ones I'm questing to kill, and they don't even give good xp...)

I'm off for more torture in Behemoth Stomach, I think. Maybe the spawns will be nicer to me today... (and maybe the channels will be emptier, since it's a Monday and all... but it's also a holiday, so maybe not.)

...I need a Latale icon. Maybe I'll do that today, too...

Is it acceptable these days to hear somebody talking about group plans they have and just be all, "Hey can I come too?" I am actually honestly curious, because I really have no idea. I always thought that it was supposed to be rude to do that, so whenever my friends talk about plans they have with each other I'm always just "Oh yeah that's, uh, that's cool," all awkwardly, buuuut it seems that my friends always make plans with each other that never ever involve me in any capacity whatsoever, so I'm always having to be "Yeah, that's totally milkshake" when I actually think that it is totally not milkshake at all.

I mean, maybe they never think to ask me because whenever I am actually invited to something I usually end up not going, or having to leave for some reason. So maybe they just don't ask me because they think, "Oh, she's probably not going to come anyway." Which, okay, yeah, there's a good chance that that might actually be the case. And sometimes I don't go because I don't want to go, which... yeah, okay, that's not so shiny of me, but I am after all an introvert at heart. I don't always want to be around people. So, somehow, it always works out that when I am invited to things it's when I don't want to be around people, but when I think that hanging out would actually be totally awesome, everybody else has plans, and by the way, you're not invited.

So yeah, I don't know if nobody ever invites me to things because I never make them invite me to things, or if nobody ever invites me to things because they would rather have fun without me.

(This post brought to you by a person I hate inviting all my friends to her house to go watch films I don't want to see. It's not actually about that particular invitation! It's just that seeing her do that reminded me of all the other invitations I never got from people I actually like to do things I actually did want to do.)
