Oh, yeah. Today's gonna be fun.

I hate that when I have a pile of things to do in my life (not at work; I'm semi-okay at multi-tasking at work), I get all stressed and don't know what to prioritize and spend a lot of time not really getting anything done and then not being able to function at all. It's SWELL. (see also: university career)

Today being the 31st, the only thing I can say will happen reliably is that I'll get my rent paid. In fact I was a bit impressed by my bank balance this month and was almost lulled into thinking I'd become better, somehow, at managing my money. Then I remembered that for once this month I did NOT make payments into my student loan debts, and that the reason I wasn't was because it was forcing me to barely break even every. damn. month. So I'm totally looking forward to graduating and having those payments kick in again. *sobs*

I can't remember where I put my 2003 tax return. Mother FUCKER. I could have sworn I put it in a safe spot, but a safe spot to me a month ago is... where, now? I have no idea. It's somewhere, and it's sure safe, let me tell you.

Also I totally promised ladyjax I would try to write something for boom_tube and, well, I'm not finished. And I feel awful, because I do have things to say, and I want to say them! So I suck, and maybe I'll have enough free time today at work to be able to finish that up. Except that it's the end of the month and I generally spend the last day of the month running around contacting people who won't answer their phones and trying to assemble Very Important Documents for my managers. So, I'm not sure that'll happen. *sobs some more; hates letting people down*



I totally bought Factions yesterday, because I had NOTHING to do at work and seriously, the Target is RIGHT THERE. Guild Wars is being sold for $29.99 there right now! Factions for $39.99, and Nightfall.... not at all. This is the second or third time I've been there and not seen Nightfall. Either they're lousy at stocking it or frequently selling out >_>. Anyway, I'm not sure if/when I'll actually play through the game, but at least there are new avenues of pretty available to me, and in my rotten mood, it's really needed. Plus, new armor! I spent quite some time just playing with character creation; didn't make any new characters, just tried to make a "me" in every profession, and then what I thought was the "prettiest" for every profession. The "me" Ritualist was, I think, the least UN-like me. But I'll wait on that.

I logged on with Nanashi and despite the fact that both princessy and Harley were online, as well as Leena, I did NOT ask for help with another mission, in large part because Nanashi's next mission is to get her armor infused and I'm not sure I want to stick with the Gladiator's armor, of which I am not fond. So I took my three favorite heroes and tried to level them by running around aimlessly. I started just outside of Lion's Arch, but soon realized that mobs of level 11 skales and fire imps, while a challenge to my level 11-14 heroes, would not really power level them. So I went further inland, to Fisherman's Haven, which had frequently been a bane to my existence with level 15 henches. I cleared that area, and started unfogging my map towards the north, and by the time I'd gotten through three zones, I'd levelled them all three levels. So at least that accomplished something as well as adding a few percentage points to my Explorer title.

Then I looked up armors longingly again and realized that I quite like the Shing Jea warrior's armor, and that it's available in all types pretty much as soon as you get to Cantha. Ahaha so I ferried Nanashi over and bought a set! \o/ And I do like it. And now I'm happy to get her armor infused (until I get tired of this set, at least). Then I went to bed because I was tired. And I lay in bed for over an hour and couldn't sleep ;_;. So I got back up again.

At that point I logged back in and ferried Fairuza over to Cantha as well, because I realized that I could get the benefits of scar pattern armor without having to run around in my undies! So my next goal is to get her the Shing Jea set for that. When I've farmed earned more money, that is >_>.

Poor level 14 Fairuza is reduced to doing Ascalon quests for the xp again, ahaha, because I simply can't take anything else on at this point, it seems. Maybe I can try fighting my way through various Shiverpeaks areas now that I'm a couple of levels farther? I dunno. Also I laugh, because now Fairuza has a hero (Zenmai, lvl 15 assassin) and she KEEPS DYING. IMMEDIATELY. She is always the first to die upon this barracade. Lordy, even the Hero assassins are appallingly squishy! Now I am just sad that it's so hard to get over to Elona from Lion's Arch, when it's so easy to get to Cantha :(.

And might I just add, I totally did not see mosquiton online at all! :P



In other news, my cat is sick. Simon has a weeping eye and I don't really know what to do for him beyond wait a day or so and see if it resolves itself before taking him in to the vet. I feel so badly for him! He's just not as playful and he keeps winking out of that eye and I've tried to apply warm water and gently clean it and he generally lets me, but I'm all "my poor BABY" and I have no time for this and really hope he'll be okay. Also I can't afford to take more time off to take him to the vet and I definitely can't afford any treatment when I just took him to the vet for an annual physical like two WEEKS ago. *more sobbing*
