yep, it's almost 4:20 and the servers are still down ...

World of Warcrap is dead. Ok, it's not really, in fact it will probably live forever. And although it is a scary thought to be outlived by a video game, we're going to move on. I haven't played it for years and I hope to nevr play it again. Since I stopped playing I have been searching effortlessly to find a shiny new MMO to obsess over to no avail. Most recently I picked up Allods again. It's really fun but just way to similar to other MMOs. The most special thing about it is you can get an astral ship and patrol the galaxy. Yet now that I actually got a chance to do this, I saw how boring it was. It is really nothing to look forward to. Traipsing about the astral plain mostly gives you parts for your ship. There is also gear to be had, but it magically pops up in chests on your ship while you are fighting monsters, then you open it later, like when your astral galavanting is over. This means that you need to wait hours just to see if you got anything lol. Not too fun or exciting. But I digress.

A couple years ago, probably the last time I wrote in here, I heard of a game called Tera. Actually, Aaron and Gabbi somehow became aware of it and told me about it. But anywho, it was released in Korea then, and it will finally be released here in the US tomorrow. Needless to say, it has been a long wait. Though fortunately, it looks like it's worth it! Tera is unlike any MMO that I've played because you can actually dodge attacks! This makes it infinitely more amusing to play. As a mage (or any class for that matter) I have to actually aim and hit the enemy with my spells, unlike in all other MMOs where you just lock onto the target and cast your spell. It may not sound like must, but this changes the entire game's dynamic for the better.

So ... the thing is we've been playing the game for a while now in what they've called "open beta." It hasn't felt much like a beta as the game is so good; it should be, it's been in closed beta for gods know how long. So here is the real shitty thing, (I like that this thing spell-corrects mage but not shitty) I CAN"T PLAY IT RIGHT NOW!!!!!! The servers have been down since 3am last night for extended maintenance. It is understandable as they are adding a new server. It was surprising that at launch there were 7 PvE realms and only 3 PvP servers. Today they are adding one more and allowing free character transfers. Ooh la la! I think they should have added 2 or 3. So this stupid maintenance period was originally supposed to be from 3am-10am, then they extended it to 1pm, and then it was extended again until 4pm. Now I am praying that it does not become motherfuckin' 7pm. I don't know what else to say, I WANT TO PLAY TERA BITCHES!!! That is all.

So I tried to update my iPhone today but it died. The last time I updated the thing it took about 6 hours so I was expecting this time to take 6-12 hours but now I'll never know. Apparently my cord died. Now I have it plugged it but it won't charge. Yeah, this cord has been frayed since the day I took it from my mom. Honestly I can't believe that it worked this long. So anyway, I started trying to update around 12:30pm today and then I took a nap around 6pm. By the time I woke up, it said it couldn't complete since the cable was detached. Of course, the cable wasn't detached, it was sitting there just like I had left it. And now the phone it dead with absolutely no way of turning back on until I buy a new cord. Ooooh, I really hope they sell them at Best Buy so I can use my Reward Zone bucks. So it sucks that all my little games will be fucked for a couple days but c'est la vie. I shouldn't be so attached to them anyway.

I want to see Marlee Matlin and Elizabeth Hurley make-out ... and perhaps do more ....

So I actually forgot that Salma Hayek and Mark Harmon share my birthday. Of course, they weren't born anywhere near the same year as me. However, this lovely lady was. Her name is Mandy Cho and she was Miss Hong Kong 2003. Now she's an actress and shit. But here's another one I didn't know anything about. I also share the birthday of the forgotten Osbourne child. Her name is Aimee and I've always had the utmost respect for her for not having anything to do with their stupid reality show. I had no idea that she was exactly one year younger than me. OMFG! Here's another one, MC Chris! Not many people know who he is, but that's okay because he's awesome enough without any more fame or popularity. He is exactly 7 years older than me. Ha! I win. Nah, I won when I found out I shared the b-day of Keanu! Oh yeah, and we cant forget Mr. Charles Trippy. Anyone who can make that much money on silly YouTube videos should actually be a larger celebrity. Wow, here's a video of another birthday sharer named Katt Williams. I had to look him up to see exactly who he was, but I know I've heard of him before.
My last mindblowing factoid of the day is that this man is the voice of Simon who has always been my favorite chipmunk. Of course this is in the new movies which could have turned out a lot worse. And yes, it's very funny that in his IMDB picture he looks like John Waters, if he was 20 years old and only 70% instead of 120% gay.

Sharon is such a sad, funny, hateful person. Yesterday Robin called her to say that she got their schedules from Gunther for the next few months. They both are tour guides (more like flight attendent / activity leaders.) On the phone with her, Sharon was rude and sarcastic. She really obnoxiously thanked her then hung up. Now for the rest of the day I had to listen to Sharon scream like a troll about how horrible it was that Robin had her schedule. I of course took the bait and said that Robin was just trying to do her a favor. This made Sharon scream more about how Robin was going to call up their boss and beg that he put Robin on some of Sharon's trips. Really? I mean really? First of all, I bet this isn't true. But Sharon does say that Robin kisses the boss's ass all the friggin time, which I do not doubt. Secondly, wouldn't Robin do this anyway with or without giving Sharon her schedule? In fact, wouldn't her giving Sharon her schedule this early even prove that she wasn't going to do that since having the schedule early, Sharon would see it change!?! Every time throughout the day (probably like 5 times) I defended Robin's actions and responded to Sharon like a logical person just because it was hilarious to watch her get even more fired up and yell like a crazy crackhead just because Robin did her a favor. Even before Sharon went to sleep I asked if she was really going to wait an entire week (until her next trip) to find out what her schedule was or if she was going to talk to Robin. To this the insane freak exploded and directed her anger at me "She should have minded her own business..." Blah blah blah! She was right, this time I had brought it up but she also accused me of bringing it up all day which I had not. As we know, I just responded to her each time she went off. In any event, this made her flip out one last time, smoke, and go upstairs to bed. It's almost sad, the whole night I heard her coughing. I guess that's the price you pay for basically yelling at yourself for 10 hours just because your poor sister tried to relay to you your work schedule. It must be so horrible to exist as such a sad and hateful individual.

When I woke up this morning (around 1pm) Sharon said that she called Robin and got her schedule and now she is casually talking to her on the phone like they do every motherfucking day.

So in the past few months I was delighted to find there are actually 2 funny sitcoms out there. They are called Raising Hope and Traffic Light and both appear on Fox Tuesday nights. It's probably watching House that I even heard of them. So just now I got a little mind-blower. This odd-looking woman on Raising Hope is actually Keith Carradine's daughter! Her name is Martha Plimpton and I've been fascinated with her for quite some time. She's ugly but still interesting looking enough that she isn't aesthetically offensive. Quite to the contrary, I like looking at her. I don't know, this probably sounds crazy to a lot of people. So yeah, another one of my favorite shows right now is Criminal Minds. But of course, I am doomed to watch re-runs as the show is so fabulous it will probably soon be canceled, if it hasn't already been. So anyway, Keith Carradine was playing an awesome Gein-esgue serial killer on this episode - that's how I found out about this factoid which might be of interest to some other people were they to actually read this, which they will not. Here's another interesting factoid though, this fine lady whom I most remember from the neat flick called The Craft is actually the same chick from The Return to Oz AND one of my all-time favorite childhood films The Worst Witch. I never knew this! This was the last mind-blowing celebrity factoid that I happened upon. Sooooooooooooooooooooooooo it's fun having no life.

So I'm watching a great film called Focus where William H. Macy gets a pair of glasses (in like 1941) and is henceforth mistaken as a Jew. This is a horrible film which reminds us how sick our society has always been.

Last night at the play, Darlene said that she had her suspicions that our family was Jewish way back when. This is silly except that we act out almost every Jewish stereotype. The one thing my family isn't good with is money though. Everyone in my family spends it like they know they're going to die next year. And the whole family makes fun of Robin, the only financial "Jew" in the family. So anyway, watching this film, I think it's more likely that our family was discriminated against as Jews just because we looked and acted like them. Interesting thought right?

In happier news, I figured out how to light the coals. You have to put them on the stove. Yep. That's the only way to light them without seriously burning yourself and looking like an idiot. So at least these puppies won't go to waste. The whole thing is I bought 2 boxes, one for $7 and one for $14. I might just take the cheap box as a loss, those are the ones covered in silver that taste like matches. The other ones still have a strong taste that almost completely overpowers the shisha as well, but at least it has a slight hint of coconut to it. These are Chronic Premium Hookah coals and yes, I bought them because they are appealing to stoners.

Ha! So now they're playing Valkyrie again. I just watched that recently. I also saw an awesome flick with Jeff Goldblum called Adam Resurrected. And what is the underlying theme here? Dadadada JEWS!!! This can only mean one thing ... soon it will be Hitler's birthday and 420! It's at this time that I'd like to suggest that April 20th become not only a stoner National Holiday, but a gay Jewish stoner holiday! What better way to let Hitler's zombie know how far off the mark he was?

So it feels like I got no time to myself today. It was horrible. I went to dinner with Sharon, Gabbi, my mom, and some random family member named Darlene. She's my mom and Sharon's cousin? Then we went to Gabbi's play. Before we left for the fricking play I got my online order of hookah shit. At first I was happy because I now have many new and interesting flavors. Then I got sad, realizing that in purchasing the cheapest coals, I bought the stupid motherfucking non-quick-light kind. They are impossible for me to use. I don't know how anyone could ever use these. I just sit there and hold the torch lighter on them for minutes on end and I still can't get them to ignite for more than one or two puffs. Like I already said, I seriously don't understand how it's possible for anyone to use them. The lighter got sooooo hot when I was trying to light them that it would burn my finger that was holding it's trigger. I burned myself even worse when my arm touched the lighter after I had put it down. I can't get over how stupid I was for ordering these. I thought I'd give them another try but now I'm remembering my Vassar days when we couldn't get these shits to light for our lives. I thought we did though eventually, but now I'm thinking we just bought self-lighting coals. It sucks so much that I wasted 20 bucks on these stupid coals. Now I have nearly 200 black and silver paperweights. It's very frustrating not being able to try out my shiny new flavors. I got blackberry, pineapple, coconut, watermelon, blackberry, Black Cow (chocolate and cinnamon), cherry cola, Kali Drizzle (grape bubblegum), and vanilla. I also got a cool looking lighter that I can't get to function properly. So aside from the awesome flavors, this Texas hookah order was a complete fail. I am so disgusted with myself that my will to play Rift is gone. I tried so hard to light those coals that it hurts. I wish they didn't require that stupid fucking button to be held down to light them. I tried to rig something to do it for me but it wouldn't work. Help help help! I hate myself because I managed to fuck up the one thing that would make me happy right now. I don't know what to do. I guess I just need to get more coals and accept this as a loss. I'm so afraid to buy the wrong ones again though. I thought that they had ones called "self-lighting" but I saw no such thing. I even bought 2 different brands figuring one would be useful. I was so wrong. One is significantly worse than the other. The one labeled "easy light" tastes so horrible when it is lit, it's not even worth trying. These coals are covered with a silver substance that fails at making them easy to light. I am almost tempted to call the phone number on the box. I mean they're asking for it by having it there! Rolland Charcoal Company, just you wait! You'll hear from my lawyer as he guts you with a Bowie knife and we smoke our hookah off your flaming black hearts using your intestines as tubes.

So Gabbi played Glenda in the Wizard of Oz. It was decent. At least no one's performance was horribly offensive. Gabbi, her boyfriend, Lane, as the lion, and the scarecrow were great. The tinman and Dorothy were so-so; the wicked witch was perfect. I had green cotton candy which tasted slightly like lime. On the way there the road was closed due to a fire (which I never even got to see) so that was interesting. Apparently the bar behind which I used to live burned down. Exciting!

Geeze, I'm a loser. Looking at my hookah makes me want to cry right now. My tongue tastes like I put matches out on it, the bottom of my fingers hurt from holding the lighter trigger down and the tops of my fingers hurt from the heat of holding the lighter there so long. Dude, I really should call the customer service number. This is just insane. I am such a loser and a failure. I hate myself. I wish I was enjoying my hookah right now but I am not. Peace.
