I feel personally vindicated.

Around 8 years ago, I left a relationship. Well it was a breakup but it was one that was needed, during this relationship I had been gas-lit by my significant other's husband. In that he was constantly trying to convince me that I was crazy, that my feelings were not valid-- and my significant other actually sided with him on several accounts and occasions. I was not happy to be honest and there was just something about this man that just utterly made me not like him, his attitude and such. Sure, I tried to get along with him for Shu's sake but when it came down to it, I just couldn't.

When I voiced that I didn't like him, that I thought he was a shitty person-- she surface agreed with me but she also agreed with him. Now granted, I am sure that it was because she didn't want any reprisals-- that's fair, after all they had kids together. but like, I just couldn't stomach him.

Well recently found out that he got busted for inappropriately touching young girls. A heinous act to be sure, but it was hard not to just yell a resounding "I KNEW IT!" like, he was always trying to control every detail of our lives, he said such winning things as 'I don't consider you a woman but a man because you like women' and other really just 'horrible' things. I don't like being right by any stretch of the imagination, and my heart goes out to his victims but I guess it just goes to show that he is the smarmy piece of shit that I thought he was and that all of the 'you're just jealous' accusations that hurled toward the end. It was actually his ex-girlfriend that shared it with me and she had some pretty horrific things to say about it to be honest. But well, there you go.

8 years ago, my breakup with Shu was like the end of the world.

Today, I feel like I'm definitely thriving. Yup, I'm 40-- but I have a husband I love and a job that entertains me, and look at me RPing and shit after a near 7 year hiatus.

why... why... WHY?

Tech support has given me a new appreciation for the new level of stupidity that people can aspire to. Like I literally talked to someone for 29 minutes who had no clue from his arsehole what the modem was, even though I gave him all of the pertinent information that he needed.

Me: You are looking for an SMC device, it will have the name written on the modem.
him: you mean a AHT?
Me: S. M. C.
Him: well all I can see is this netgear? Is that what you want?
Me: Look for the SMC, it should be hooked up to the netgear.
Him: I can't find it, all I see is this device hooked up to the netgear.. it's a.. ah, SMC.
Me: *INTERNAL SCREAMING LIKE SATAN AT A JONAS BROTHERS CONCERT* (j/k seriously I don't know what Satan's anti-music is tbh, just an uneducated guess)

I was seriously so traumatized that I ended up licking all the salt off my pretzels, like these people are draining me of my salty tears so I have to quickly regenerate new salt!

In happier news, I am going to go to Dragon King's Daughter on saturday with a friend for a girl's nights, then we are gonna go back and toast s'mores. I am pondering discussing with her the possibility of picking up something crafty. I need something that will occupy me in between calls because they have all the GOOD SITES blocked at work, and when I start reading, the little beep in my ear pretty much jars me out of storyland pretty quickly and makes it so I can't get engrossed in the book!

Dragon King's Daughter though, it is MEXICAN/JAPANESE fusion. They have this sushi roll, called The Swanson.. it is crunch shrimp, bacon and chicken (not raw) with spicy mayo and wasabi. That's life right there. Like I could eat two rolls-- seriously. I will see about posting pictures of the yumminess. Promise~

Thank you all who have been signal boosting the Friending Meme; it's been a smashing success-- hurrah for new friends everyone! To all of you that I've added! HIYA! <3 My name is Nia and my pronouns are she/her and I'm probably as mad as a hatter! Don't mind me! Glad to friend you and hope we can be AWESOMEFIENDS!

I HAVE A DAY OFF!

I HAVE GOTTEN SO MUCH ICONNING DONE, YET ANOTHER CHALLENGE UNDER MY BELT!

March Madness for [community profile] lands_of_magic. (pssst, if you sign up for Lands of Magic-- mention my username and I get points for my team!-- it's super fun and the challenges range from puzzles, to writing fictional love letters, to a slew of other creative-type things!)

Now I'm going to throw myself at my PS4 - FFXIV here I come!

Also, I am much pleased with my teletubbie tags-- to be perfectly honest. MY CROWNING ACHEIVEMENT!
alwaysbeenasmiler: <user name=hiraethe> (Karkat☆He's taking his time)
Okay, so I'm officially loving this icon I made of Karkat from Homestuck, also major plus is that the song I'm using is SUPER EMASCULATING, he is BEST TSUNDERE! (someone please smack me before I break the caps lock, please).-- but really I've been left unsupervised with a Paint Shop Program, which is never in anyone's best interest (but hey, at least it's not the teletubbies, amirite?). I have another few icons to do in order to meet my quota for the night, however it's like especially when I make an icon I SUPER LIKE, I am hesitant to ruin it and create any more.

Yes, [community profile] lands_of_magic, the "Madness" challenge will have to wait another day, probably.

Also I need some people to pick numbers between 1 and 250 - THANK YOU SO MUCH AHEAD OF TIME!

alwaysbeenasmiler: <user name=hiraethe> (Sophie☆My thoughts are things)
There comes a time when I realize that I don't even know what the hell I'm gonna type out and in that case, it's time to RANDOMLY SELECT THE TAGS AND HOPE THEY APPLY (doubtful). And of course, I think I lack the brevity that this particular icon requires-- why is it that all my crack icons are the ones that I like the best? Maybe it is because you have to be in a VERY SPECIAL HEADSPACE and that seems to be my norm.

So today, I realized that I know more at my job than I really give myself credit for.

All of these calls, I was fixing people's internet problems in like minutes-- sending them on their way; yeah I had a few of really difficult calls, but for the most part it was smooth sailing, doesn't stop me of course from being nervous about my one on one since I am on Team Greer, and the supervisor is NOTORIOUS for being a stickler-- I am sure he is some sort of logical thinking types and I am not-- Here I am troubleshooting internets and posting fight club references in team chat. I am still certain that there are still quite a few on my team that don't know how to take me (like is she serious, is she not? who even is her?)

But tomorrow is friday and that means I can sleep in on saturday, and that is GREAT! (also catching up on FFXIV and the Doma Reconstruction quests, which is the only thing I really care about aside from getting gear from the Ivalice raid). Tomorrow, Owen and I are going to go see the Paige biopic, "Fighting with my Family" which is purely for us Wrestling Nerds, I don't even like Paige, but I will go watch it-- of course.

We are also pondering going to the Fastlane pay-per-view in Cleveland. IDK tho

Hope everyone is having an awesome day! <3 If you want, drop a comment about what you're happy about today!

What is she awesome for, you may ask?

She has completed the SQUARE OF POWER! How did she do this, you may ask?



this really should be self explanatory-- gonna pimp [community profile] inconformista just because--

And yes, in the icon page-- all of the lyrics for the icons are pretty much 'getting drunk at the bar"-- I am especially fond of the Kesha song I used for Tinky Winky, because let's face it-- whiskey in the handbag.

I have the bestest DW sister ever!
alwaysbeenasmiler: Made by the brilliant <user name=carisma_sensei> @ <user name=inconformista> (Dipsy☆No decievin'-- nuttin' up)
So for my Po icon, it was "Black Hole Sun" by Soundgarden, for this Dipsy icon, it's "Hot in Here" by Nelly.

I AM BUILDING A KINGDOM OF WRONG-- FIGHT ME
alwaysbeenasmiler: <user name=hiraethe> (Dipsy☆)
Just saying that [personal profile] carisma_sensei made this AWESOME icon for me-- I WILL NEVER EVER GET RID OF THIS ICON NO MATTER HOW LONG I LIVE-- SERIOUSLY BEST ICON EVER! *WILL BE PRIED FROM MY COLD DEAD HANDS YES*

SERIOUSLY SO EPIC I AM CRYING HALP PLZ

Check out her work at [community profile] inconformista, it's really snazzy!
alwaysbeenasmiler: <user name=hiraethe> (Po☆In my eyes-- indisposed; in)
Watching episodes of Teletubbies in order to screencap Po for the icon challenge.

Oh. My. God. I am just dead.

But I have a lot of good fodder for icons now.

Yep, I'm nuts. (this probably isn't healthy)
