Blah. I'm not so upset anymore. I guess it was kinda stupid to be depressed about RP or not RPing in the first place, but it's been a big part of my life over the last... seven years. It helped my creativity a lot during school and allowed me to become a better artist and writer. I've also met a number of wonderful people through my RP career...
I'm engaged to one of them right now. :X
But, it's time for us to move on, grow up and find new avenues of entertainment. If things look possible to improve later on, we'll come back... but it's goodbye to roleplay for now.
Anyhow, I'm in a much better mood, obviously... I've deleted all RP sections from Origami, and will now be using it as a discussion/debate and art/fiction forum. Those sections got much more activity than the RP ones did, anyhow. It makes sense and works much more smoothly with the overall nature of my site. As always, anyone is welcome to register and post. We're all friendly there and won't bite. :D
I'm gonna do some cleaning soon, after I do a little bit of iRO-ing. I need to water the plants, clean off our junky coffeetable and straighten up all the nonsense that accumulates so fast on there. I also need to take the dishes upstairs and prolly do a load in the sink, since we're gonna have to clean up the house later as it is. I'm also gonna dispose of these empty water jugs on the floor and probably make a fresh pot of coffee, now that we have coffee grounds, half & half and sugar.
Pat mentioned something about today being laundry day... I hope so, because we sorely need to do a big load. I need to wash out blue comforter and pillows... and I might just toss the quilt in there for a proper wash, too. The sheets, pillowcases and our clothes need a good cleaning, too. Washing in the tub is so much trouble and hassle... that it's just hard to get motivated to do it. We get griped at over it, too. :|
Nate also needs to clean out the kitty box and put fresh litter in, since it's smelling now and is past the point of no return on nastiness. In a way, it's easier to deal with cat elimination than dog elimination, as you just give them a box with sand or gravel and they're set... but it builds up and smells. I almost wish they'd take to leashes and going outside like the dogs do (well, these ones really don't, since no one in this house but me can raise a decent animal that isn't a fucking cat).
We've still got a bit of fleas hopping around various areas of the house, but their numbers are really thinned and most of them are likely dying, anyway. Once I get the topical treatments for the cats from my mom, it should be even less of a problem. We may have to bomb again, soon... just to wipe out stragglers.
The heat hasn't been a problem since we tacked on a sheet of old screen to the open half of the window and put the fan in front of it. It's almost as good as air conditioning and it makes the room smell not-so-stuffy. That's awesome. :p
So... I'mma lower the volume on the radio, since it's playing KISS' 'I wanna rock and roll all night', and I fucking hate KISS and don't wanna rock and roll all night.
