You know what sucks? Level-grinding for THREE HOURS, and losing all your progress because of a stupid instant-death spell when you're at full health. I HATE INSTANT DEATH SPELLS. I don't use them, my enemies should show me the same damned courtesy. :/
(Explaining Persona 3 to my bosses is so much fun. "So, you balance your schooling and social life with saving the world by summoning soul Pokèmon via shooting yourself in the head.")
You know, I was thinking about nightmares after a discussion in one of my IRC channels mentioned Dr. Who episodes that count as Nightmare Fuel. Honestly, there are only two themes I can remember from the nightmares I have (and even those are rare, because I rarely recall my dreams.)
One theme is a distinct fear of change. I had a nightmare once that simply consisted of my room spinning around me and constantly morphing into something new every second, and it terrified the crap out of me.
The other is being abandoned, expecting that somebody is going to meet me somewhere and they never show up... and they never show up... and they never show up... I'm not actually sure where that theme came from, but it scares me even worse than the changing dreams. I've never been abandoned to my recollection, and the people I care about aren't the type to do that to me. Not even when I'm being a brat, mind you. Still, there you have it.
Speaking of me being a brat, it occurred to me the other day that, IRL-wise, I am a complete and utter troll. For example, I have a terrible habit of tormenting one of my supervisors with songs--mainly from the Labyrinth, because it gets stuck in her head for days, but also Queen's "Bicycle Race", because it reminds her of an unfortunate incident during the last Pride parade where she saw a former co-worker of ours nude-bicycling. Poor thing was all about the nude bicyclists until he appeared.
But yes, sometimes I'll text her with a lyric, and we'll spend the next few hours with her texting me with "I HATE YOU SO MUCH" and me going "LOVE ME LOVE ME LOVE ME!"
Oh, and doing surveys for people who work at pharmacies is awesome. They're all so nice! Even if they say no, they say no politely. Manners! People have manners! I'm so happy I could cry~
