Bloody depressing movie!

Well worth watching. Terrifying. Depressing. Ring of truth.
ANYWAY. What have I been up to.. wow. Haven't been on here in a while. The wonderful Verisimi or so I shall title her reminded me to post, and thus I am. Let's see. Current condition... I have a headache. It hurts. Ow ow ow. It's fucking cold. Godawfully fucking cold. And I have ridiculous amounts of work to do.
For those not in the loop, I'm in year 2 of my Master's, have applied to York for PhD, and as of today, will be defending in June. This means my 2 chapters+intro needs to get an additional 3 chapters, a revision or three, and a conclusion in the next 3 months.
I'm reasonably sure I can do it.
Bu I want coffee. So, SO badly. I may well go and get some...
In my WoW universe, life is goodish. I'm a bit bored with the game right now.. I have to play the political game so often that my 'give a shit' tensions are largely strung out. Um. Wow. Fucked up metaphor. Try that again. Think of caring as an elastic. The more you stretch it to cover people, or see both sides of things, the less spring it has. Well, lately, some 16 yr old kid smeared me and my guild (unintentionally, just a dumb kid), and it didn't even really faze me. Just like "*shrug* 'ev"
I'm just too fucking tired to care. Some kid comes back and goes all emo and whiney on my ass, and I don't give a fuck. I just want to play the damned game. I want to raid, kill shit, and RP. And not face the unending highschool cliques which abound in Stormwind Park or everywhere else.
That does really get me, you know. The way that people get into these cliques and are right royal assholes in character, and everyone's like "Oh gee, that guy's SO funny!" and then my toon comes up, and if he's a good guy he's out of line for calling jerkface on being a jerk, and if he's an ass too, he's out of line for daring compete. Fuck 'em all.
Oh well. It's something other than real life to distract me with, and good fantasy's a bit out there and hard to find these days. Life is stressful.. game shouldn't be, though!
Gah.
What else.. I'm worried about mum and dad. They accepted Chris woot woot, and that end of my life is fabulous, but their furnace blew out on friday, and in this cold.. they're up every 2 hrs all night feeding their tiny woodstove so the pipes don't freeze. They're 58.. this shit ain't right. And there's jack I can really do to make it better other than toddle out there and clean the barn for them (did that Saturday). So that's kinda annoying and stressful.
What else can I bitch about....
holy fuck, did this ever turn into me QQing at the world.. guess I don't feel I can do it in a lot of places.. gotta be the mature grad student, the loving wife or daughter or friend, the responsible guild lead...
bleah.
FUCK EM ALL!
Rawr!
