Not going to the November event.
Nov. 12th, 2009 11:40 amBoe and I, well, our finances suck syphilitic donkey testicles. So we are not able to go to the November event as we were hoping. In all honesty, I'm a bit relieved -- we've been on the OMGADRIA! roller coaster so long that we're both tired and in need of a little bit of catch-up time that Adria has been sucking away. We're still running the December event, no worries there, but between being "on" in Adria since Labor Day, the holidays, school, work (or lack thereof grrrrr....), and, frankly, the points debacle going on with Boe, we're taking a longer hiatus starting in January.
We're tired. Boe is incredibly upset about the points thing (he's been trying to get his points figured out for 3 years now, and just keeps getting the run-around) and feels pretty much that because he's not yelling at anyone or throwing fits, that he's essentially being shit upon. While that may or may not be true, perception is reality, as they say. He is ready to walk away from all of this and focus solely on gaming. I can't say I blame him for feeling the way he does. So it would be better for him to take a breather for a while...for my part, I am simply exhausted. For the past, I'm not sure, maybe six months? A year? the same 8 people have been the last ones to leave after cleaning up at events: Iamys and Louwanna, Wilhelmus and Elisabet, Brient and Isabel, Drew, Arthur, and myself. Out of 32 people.
Newsflash: We're all tired.
And Boe and I are poooooooooor. Like, I'm donating plasma tomorrow to put the money in the gas tank poor.
So Adria can just wait until we have the energy and finances to actually enjoy ourselves, instead of feeling like we're among the default cleanup crew.
ETA: Let me be perfectly clear -- I am deliberately leaving this post unlocked and public to all. if I happen to ruffle some ministerial feathers, oh well. At least SOMETHING will have been done.
