buuuh
okay. i've meant to babble about work and whatever for a bit but i keep being lazy. lets see if i can do it this time!
people have been stealing wires (assumidly copper, copper is the most expensive metal scrap yards buy (i assume anything fancier goes to pawn shops and jewelers. who the fuck is gonna sell gold to the scrap yard?)) from the yard at work so we've been asked to do outside rounds after dark. i feel like a guard in any given video game where you have to avoid people and sneak around :3 i even get a big flashlight, and am fighting the urge to get a big ! to somehow put over my head (i've seen this done for MGS cosplay and it fucking ruled but lost my pics)
we have no issue going out there (well, we may complain if its chilly or rains, but as long as the weather isn't that bad...no going out in yard of metal in thunderstorm or 20+ mph winds, kthx, that is asking for trouble), and we appear to be a little, unarmed white girl who often looks lost and confused. the gung-ho sounding larger ex-military older white dude who annoys the hell out of us works nights there five days a week appears to be afraid to go out there because he might get shot at.
WTF
yeah, okay, its a bad neighbourhood but we've never had any trouble and i honestly do not think anyone who's set up shop to cut up and steal a bunch of metal will be quiet enough for me to not notice until I'm right upon them and well within range of potential gunfire. i find this highly amusing as he has griped about them not giving him a gun and we're just "whatever." (also we suspect he may be bitchy because he actually has to do something other than sit on his arse all night)
i still hope no one shows up, but its more so because i am not entirely sure what to do if they do (the orders are "call the police." which leaves me with "what do i say to them" and "those fucks are just going to leave if they spot me"). they set up lights outside all night in the problem areas, so maybe that will keep people away. we shine the flashlight around for a few minutes after we get back there too. i don't at all need it, but its good to show people someone's around. and its really fucking bright so i guess i could blind them and then run or throw pointy metal objects at them or something. kek.
we're really getting into holloways_keep, but I am hoping to keep it from eclipsing vertiline_rpg. Diz and I are having fun playing Sollux (apparently when I said I liked him but not in an "i wanna rp this guy" sorta way Diz decided I was wrong ;P) at HK, even if we're not sure he's entirely IC, but Manny is still fun even though I'm not sure what to do with him. There seems to be something Up, so hopefully I can get him involved in plot :3 I'm kinda having trouble keeping up with Xander at c_fsk/laceurs and may end up dropping the latter and just idling at the former (but both are so quiet it may not matter, and i've not played anyone else at c_fsk in ages)
and Diz apped Sollux at dogbone-rp (I believe that place and the fact that it doesn't take OCs is what made her consider playing him in the first place, anyway). It seems to be pretty slow, but it also just started so we'll see. Slow is probably best for us, really. We keep going "want tag stuff" when we're at home, not otherwise busy, and feeling well, but we get kinda dead often enough that slow and low-stress is probably the best of options for rp. and trying not to get too invested in it in any way...well, Diz is better at that than me, so since right now most of the RP is Blendy with her (or just hers) that shouldn't be as much of an issue. I guess I must learn from the master or something :3
also health.
last month we fucked around with the cardiologist for awhile. early this month we started another pill to help keep the BP level (one to lower it, since the other one is to raise it and sometimes that gets it too high. i barely take any of this, though) and it seems to really be helping. barely any dizzy spells since we got on it \o/
until this weekend. when the body monthly reminds us that we're still a fucking chick physically. two days in a row so far of bad dizzy spells later in the evenings, thankfully after we got home and were able to lay down. fuck this is so annoying. we have to wait another cycle to see if it happens again and if it does...we may just go "fuck it" on avoiding pre-existing conditions for whatever insurance we may or may not be able to get next and go to the doctor about it. Malachi and i still want to go "fix it or remove it B|" so badly.
Kagi has not broken into our room anymore, thankfully. and ohio is trying to wash away as well as blow away lately. otherwise i think everything is good!
