I so want to be in St. Louis!
I didn't much care until this weekend actually got here and I realized just how many people were there.
I've asked KMD to make out with Alhanna and Kyttie on my behalf so, girls, please make sure to get in some time with him before the weekend ends. Kthx. ;c) |

DonnaMatrix: Finally got the other computer on the network. Again.. I managed to make it work when my husband, the one who spent thousands on a networking degree, could not.
badfae snickers
bluespacething: Do you tell him that? Does it make him feel all dumb and stuff? :P
DonnaMatrix: *giggle* I do not put it quite like that. ;c)
DonnaMatrix: But he's gotta feel pretty silly when I get it to work and he hasn 't.
DonnaMatrix: He's asked me about thirty times how I got this computer to work properly on the network. Every time I tell him he just scratches his head and says, "Huh."
DonnaMatrix: He comes at it too technically. I just fiddle until something happens.
DonnaMatrix: That can be said for other things in our relationship as well.
DonnaMatrix: *blink* |

It is official. I have too much free time.
I made a Sim town of my clan. I still have some people to do but am so far pretty happy with it.
Now, I am no good at faces. And a lot of these people I've never actually seen or have seen just one picture so I went more for making them look like their personalities.
( Cut... because most of you probably don't even care... ) |

I thought I was done with the Winter Wonderland bullshit.
I loved doing the event, honestly. But people are such pricks sometimes. Even over things which are meant to be joyous.
It is not uncommon for people to have different names on the boards from what they have in-game. I don't quite understand this... seems to me you'd want to have continuity so people know who you are. Whatever. But when this happens, most people are intelligent enough to include their game name and/or player ID#. In fact, I even wrote in the rules that all entries should be accompanied by in-game name and ID. This guy, a forum mod no less, did not so after I'd already awarded prizes, he posted his player ID. He also had the prize awarder, our clan whore Druidess, on ignore. So I posted this:
Unfortunately, your original prize was sent to Voivod in game. It would have been helpful if you'd included that your game ID was different from the forum with your entry.
I hope you'll snap up this name when it gets deleted this month. :c)
Also, Druidess is the one awarding prizes and is on your ignore. Let me know when that changes.
He then posted "Fixed". But I don't spend all day on the forums as some do. In fact, I rarely go there these days. I had expected a kmail or something of that nature to let me know. But no. Then I get this private message on the forums:
From: Voivod
To: DonnaMatrix

Subject: Snow Angel Art Quote message
So are we going to resolve this or am I going to be punished because you didn't verify your winners when the contest ended?
Wow... that's a lot of spittin' fire over nothing.
But it certainly got my hackles up:
From: DonnaMatrix
To: Voivod

Subject: Re: Snow Angel Art Edit message
Wow, that was quite a bit more vitriol than was necessary.
I told you to let me know when you'd taken care of it.
Most people would have kmailed at the same time they took off the ignore. Or, at the very least, a private message like this.
I don't spend a lot of time on the forums. I only just now saw that you posted it in the thread because I had to try and figure out what the hell you were talking about.
Despite feeling that you do in some way deserve to be "punished" for your absolute rudeness and despite the fact that you seem to feel this is owed you when it is rather a gift, you'll get your prize. I am a girl of my word.
And later, if you're good, I'll tell you where you can shove it.
And then I posted that exchange in the thread. Y'know, in case he doesn't check his messages. :cP
In related news, I (and everyone in the house, it seems) am PMSing. PH34R! |

Oooh... I love being the subject of rumours.
Ok, not all of them... but this one, particularly when considering some of who are doing the whispering. I am absolutely flattered.
It seems there is a rumour going around that I left WKoL to join Radio KoL. This is not true. The two have absolutely nothing to do with one another.
However, I have spoken with a couple of RKoLers about the prospect. There is nothing even remotely firm.
And I'm not getting my hopes up because I know they have a hiring list as long as my arm. I also know that my availability is not as open as they'd probably like. So if they happen to have a spot that I can do and I happen to be in the right spot in line for it then I just might maybe do it.
It's a lot of maybes. |

I accidentally ate my Radio Button Candy.
I foolishly got it out of my shop when I was done with hardcore because I was going to give away everything in my shop for the Winter Wonderland event. But then I realized I probably ought not to give those out but neglected to do anything with them.
One little mis-click... and gone.
Then, to make matters worse, I overdrank.
Someone take my mouse away! I am dangerous. |

I am no longer with WKoL. I was planning on leaving, and so I did.
The new year seemed the right time.
And a happy new year to you all! I know this past year has been rough on several of you and you are each in my thoughts. |

Just enjoying the sights of the city and the yummy food at the New Orleans.
I took tons of pictures so ( A cut is in order... )
And then we were home. Thank you, mommy! |

People suck.
Not all the time, but definitely today.
On KoL, my clan is doing a big winter festival event full of giveaways and contests and such. Now, this is just a game. I know this. But it's a game I adore and on the whole, the community is usually pretty great. But every community has it's assholes. No exception here.
Part of the festivities are sending out kmails to everyone with a fun adventure and items that correlate with what happened in the tale. It's free stuff, it's easily deleted, but there are some who just have to have something to bitch about. Don't like it? /ignore is a wonderous thing.
I mean... really... who the fuck complains about getting free stuff. Free VIRTUAL stuff, nonetheless. Dump it in your clan, give it to a newbie, autosell it... send it back, even. But why even expend the energy and time to whine about it? Why piss on everyone's parade?
The fact is that this thing is taking a lot of my time and effort and I've even spent real money in order to get prizes and such. I'm doing it all because I enjoy doing for others.... so to get these kinds of responses just makes me want to throw my hands up and pull my hair out.
Thank goodness for the positive responses. You know it's always the assholes who are loudest but I have received many thank yous and that does keep me going.
AAAAND....
I had a friend who is a "real" DJ in a small market listen to my show on WKoL last night. Today, he gave me his thoughts on it. But fuck him. I didn't ask for his analysis of my show. Blahdiblah chat component, blahdiblah distractiness... I know I suck as a DJ, thank you. I've said it many times and I will undoubtedly say it again in the future. I'm not looking to have a career in radio no matter how it appeals because I know this is not something I would be any good at. I don't need your validation of this fact. I'm just having a little fun on the internet. And it apparently entertains a few tasteless souls and so we have some fun a few nights a week. It's. For. Fun. So fuck off, Bryan. Be a friend and just say, "Hey, that was a nice show." or don't say anything at all.
However, after all this, I went out shopping with my mommy and it was fun and yay! Sandlots! |

I am no longer the scheduling slave at WKoL.
I will be helping the new person for a little while but she will have no problem picking it up, I'm sure.
All at once, I feel a weight lifted and a little sad. Whoda thunk? |
