Kids these days...
WoW rant under cut. Skip if you're uninterested.
I wish Llondon were on Thorium Brotherhood. I've fallen in love with the server, and tonight only proved to me that Korgath (and PvP servers in general) really do suck. God, we need anthropologists to come and study the almost tribal-like society of 14 and 15 year old boys that comprise the majority of the population. And I'm not kidding. Guilds are *WAY* too serious on PvP servers for my own comfort; it's like you've joined a fucking gang. Messages like "all 40s to WSG NOW" really, really upset me. This is a GAME. It's supposed to be FUN. Forcing me to do WSG ruins my good time, and I'm not paying $13 (or something like that) a month to get bossed around by little boys. What if I don't WANT to go on that raid? Honestly.
And you know, the story would be completely different if I actually liked my guildmates. But I don't. They're primitive, barbaric, and illiterate. One of the officers made a battered woman joke and of course I called him on it, and after that I was immediately labeled the pissy, PMS-ing girl who thinks that laughing is a sin and boys are gross.
Now, Thorium. People are considerate, generous, helpful, and are willing to take the time to write out the word "you." If I were in a guild with FRIENDS, like either you guys or a bunch of nice, mature people from Thorium, doing a raid would be fun. But to be told by Guild Master Valinor that I *WILL* set aside my Wednesday nights for ZF -- well, that wants to make me go naked and guildless.
Anyway, I still want to get Llondon to 60. I'm attached to her, and I guess it'll be nice to have a 60 on a PvP server in the even that I ever get really into that stuff. But Olbetraus, my 17 warlock on Thorium, might just become my main. I really wanted to be a hunter, but I can't stand orcs and really I just want to be undead. I figured being a warlock could be a lot of fun. Eventually I want to have an Alliance on Thorium, too, but I don't know if I want to have another hunter or if I should try the druid thing again. I'm considering it.
Now, on to RL.
This is my last week of camp and we're doing Color Wars. It sucks. Basically, we sit in the hot sun all day and do "fun activities," like watching a hundred screaming 9-12 year olds play kickball. God, I can't even describe to you how fun that is.
Also, the "relationships" these kids have are really beginning to upset me. I want to grab them and shake them and say: "Don't you know that what you're doing is a parody of the real thing?" They actually think that "dating" someone for 48 hours constitutes a relationship. Example: Katie Gallo and Nick Rivera came to camp one morning and were not going out. A little after lunch, Katie informs me that Nick is now her "boyfriend." A couple of days later I ask after the relationship and Katie says that, "oh, it's on-and-off." Um, within the span of three days? The drama these little girls go through is incredible. Dude, I NEVER did anything remotely like that. I had a crush on this kid Brooks in 3rd grade and that was all. And you know what I liked about him? His hair. (Always had a thing for hair.) There was no crying, no drama, no lovesickness. He was popular, he didn't like me, and eventually I just stopped caring about him altogether, and that was the end of my "crush phase." Lasted maybe a couple of weeks, a month tops. But these girls! All the drama and the whispering and the crying in the bathroom! And the boys couldn't care less. A girl runs off crying and he looks after her quizzically, then at his friends, then at me, waiting for someone to tell him what the hell he's just done wrong. God, I've always hated the male perception that women are ridiculous and insensible, but after watching these girls, I wonder if maybe I've led a very sheltered life.
So I always used to say that if I had a kid, I wanted a girl, right? Omg. Not only do I not want kids (unless they're Logan), but I also don't think I could handle a girl. I always used to think that "most girls really aren't like that." Ha! HAHAHAHAHA!!! Of course, that I would assume that the rest of female kind is decent just because I myself am decent is pretty idiotic. Where the hell were all these girls in MY life? I think most of the reason I'm such a lezzie is because all the women I've known have been goddesses and all the men I've known have been pigs (slightly exaggerated, but you get my point). All of my favorite kids at camp are boys. The girls are terrible. The girls are far, far worse than the boys. Granted that there are a select few boys who are bound for juvie and are worse than everyone, but by and large the boys are just immature. They push, they throw blocks, they brag. Whatever. They shove each other and get over it in minutes, the thow something and then five seconds later are the best of friends again. The girls will sit and deliberately plot each others' demise. The MOUTHS these girls have -- unbelievable. The venom, absolute venom they spit out! Thank God that only boys were stuck on that island in Lord of the Flies, because if it had been an island of girls, it would have been psychological trauma to the max. Forget blood and brawn; suicide would have been the name of the game.
Why can't we all just love each other, eh?
I almost want to have a kid just to "do it right." Last night I was thinking about the fact that it would be very difficult for me to carry a child and give birth, and it actually upset me a bit. I've never cared in the least but for some reason it bothered me. Only slightly, but it did. Could it be that biological clock thing? I hope not. I don't need no babies.
