MOVING

Alright, for fun, I decided to check out Weebly to see whether it might help me make this blog look like I want it to look. And after a bit of fumbling about, I realized it's just perfect. So I'm joining the masses and moving my blog over there as well.

The blog is moooving!

From now on, you can find all my ramblings and all the info about my characters here. It's still not finished and there's lots of tweaks to be done (and I'll possibly re-do all the bios too once I get around to it) but it still looks a lot better than this one here.

Love,
M

Oh wow. I never realized just how off I've been lately. Last week Nika's single made it to the TOP-40 radio charts and it took me a week and a half to notice. Ffs!

And here I was thinking of finding her a band mate and starting from scratch because she seems to move nowhere.. She's been stuck doing incredible/perfect gigs forever now. Not to even mention it's a bitch to try and work on a repertoire when there's just one person in charge of composing the songs..

Maybe a band mate wouldn't be such a bad idea after all...


PS: It's my day off, expect me to reply to all the unanswered messages that've piled up. I just need to wake up first..

...

Five hours later: I'm so proud of myself! I'm all caught up on Izzie, Hazel AND Nera. Now only Nicky left and I've actually done everything I set out to do today.

...

Oh my. I did it. I have absolutely no unanswered messages left. Hoooly crap. Now it's time to focus on the new site/blog/thingy. If I'll someday get it at least to a decent shape and have it released to the roaring public. Heh.

Tiiiired

I think I got two hours of sleep last night, and I just finished a 11-hour shift at work. As much fun as RPing is, I think I'm going to pass out in 3... 2... 1.... ZzzZz....

Hahaha

Wow. Lol. Izzie sure can get into trouble without even trying...

Nicky

Today is Focus on Nicky Day. Lately I've not been too fond of... FoND? Lol.

Nicky's been inactive for so long it's hard to get back to RPing him. I've had these short active spells in the past few years but nothing too extravagant since his early twenties. I've revamped his character a little from his early twenties, so it's not like I'm going right back into the goof ball he was back then.

I've been using this one character development sheet thingy as I finally jot down things about Nicky that's made me love RPing him in the past. Most of it is obviously stuff that rarely comes up in RP, but I'm hoping that by finally writing this down, it'll be much easier to reply to his messages.. I need to find a way to reconnect with my beloved puppet.

I know I've been ignoring his RP parters for way too long now. One reply a month or even one every two weeks is just not an acceptable pace when I'm responding to some of my other character's pms pretty much on a daily basis.

So instead of deciding to kill Nicky off too (which I'm sure would just kill me), I need to put in the effort and find a way to RP him.

I'll try and focus solely on him today, as he certainly deserves it, but I might respond to the odd message here and there on the rest of my lot too.

Toodles!

Danko Jones is my go-to music whenever I'm trying to RP Nicky. It just fits him perfectly..

Catching up? Hopefully!

Oh my. I'm actually tempted to ditch this blog here and start it all over again like she did. Her new site looks uh-maaazing.

I shouldn't, though. I've had this one forever now and I'm still not finished! Can't even imagine how long it would take if I had to re-write everything..

Oh well. It's my first day off in a week, I just finally finished my exams last night.. It's time to catch up with my RP! I've barely touched me character's inboxes since I've been back at work. Only some of Izzie's have been answered and it's now time to focus on the rest of my lot too.

I'm really starting to wonder.. 

Grr.

Why, oh why is it that Zombie Day always falls on a day when I'm supposed to not even touch my laptop. Grr.

Slow/off

Alright, it's time to stop playing around. I have exams Monday and Tuesday evening and all the free time I have from work should go into studying. For real! Keep sending me RP, though, I love having new things to read during my breaks and such! Besides, even when I AM slow, I get these "the hell with it, I'll reply to this right away" kind of moments from time to time..

Anyway. The point was that I'll be slow/off till Wednesday.

Tired beyond belief

I never thought being back at work would be this exhausting.. The work part itself is fine. Sort of. A little painful, sure, but that I can manage. What'll most likely kill me thought is the tiredness that hits the second I sit behind the wheel and head home from work. For example, today I almost rear-ended some Volvo because I was too tired to focus 100% on the driving.. Now I just want to fall into bed (check) and fall asleep (not happening, I need to study).

So pardonnez-moi, it might take a while for me to get used to this again. And I'll definitely be slower untill Wednesday due to some exams. After that it'll hopefully get better.

Keep your fingers crossed for me, eh? I would like to make it through the next few days alive!

EDIT: Perrrrrrrrkele.

Baby fever!

Damn this popo baby fever.. I WANT BABIES.

And the energy to RP more actively. But mostly just the babies.

And perhaps something to eat. But still mostly just babies.


PS: Soooooorry about all the unanswered messages. I'm back at work after four-ish weeks of lazing about the house and I couldn't be more exhausted..

Still thinking of babies, though. Babies, babies, babies.

Catching up

Not to put a damper on the oh-so-dramatic news of the last post, but.. I think I've now replied to every single unanswered pm I had waiting in Izzie's inbox. And a few new ones too! I blame you.

If there's something I missed or you feel like I owe you a new scene, hit me on the head with a saucepan, will you? Or at least hit me with a message and I'll get back to you! Or if there's anyone out there looking for more RP, Izzie could always use new friends!

OK. Time to focus on the rest of the lot.

Crap.

..and she's gone

Y6D49 - Y65D22

It certainly felt like an end of an era when I logged in after waking up from my nap today and noticed my character selection page was missing the root of all that's happened since I first came across Pop(o)mundo.

Nakisha finally died.

I've been so distracted during the past week that I even forgot to pay attention! I'd be lying if I said wasn't surprised when I noticed Naki was gone.. Apart from feeling sad, I'm sort of proud of myself now. After six years of RPing I actually managed to let my very first character go and not swoop in at the last moment to save her. It was her time to go! And now my reckless yet eventually grown up redhead is reunited with her soulmate.

When I first registered, I remember picking the youngest character possible. And despite her name being Nakisha, I decided to make her a sickly pale, fiery redhead. Phah. Anyway.. She's still the quirky start to my very quirky journey in the world of RP. I know I've almost given up several times before and I pretty much missed her mid/late 20s and early 30s, something always kept me from letting my precious puppets from dying.

It's almost devastating to think that she's now leaving behind the love of her life (and they didn't even get to celebrate their 20th anniversary! hmpf), five kids and six grandkids.. But seeing how I've lost the ability to connect with her and the RP, it was for the best. Now I can divert my focus to her offspring.

Probably my all time favourite of hers. I think I used this for a long time in her mid/late 30s

Errr, potatoes?

OK, after a few days away from the laptop, it's finally time for me to start catching up and replying to all the RP. I hate it when the massage pile up like this, so I just have to dive in and start from somewhere. A few days without replying to a single PM and I already feel like I'm losing my touch.

I once read somewhere that if you have a ton of shit to do, look at it as if you're peeling an enormous pile of potatoes.. You can never finish your task if you try doing them all at once. One potato at a time! .....or something.

Honestly, I feel like my brain is mash (omgseewhatIdidthereyayforpotatopuns). Expect very lousy replies unless I manage to get my act together and stop this aimless rambling..

PS: I guess I made it. LOL, I love this.

Why can't there be a better picture of these two together?

OFF

Off yesterday, off today, most likely off tomorrow and on Sunday as well.

Send me lots of RP, my wrist should be better after the weekend.

Cheerio!

PS. I'm partly away just because that State: Dying is up there on Naki's page. It bothers me..

Made me laugh. :D

Moarrr RP

Oh how I want to ask for more narrative RP for all my characters.. I do, I do! Even if I still have some left to resply to (especially on Nicky as I'm still having trouble writing him). I know, or at least know of, a lot of great narrative RPers and I still haven't found a way to bring some of our characters together. Which truly is a shame..

In addition, I think my wrist is pissed at me. I decided to fuck it last night and responded to some of my pms while idly following the US election via some lousy CNN live feed. And now it's hurting more than it did last night. Strangely it doesn't hurt while I type, though, so I'm not quite sure what's going on or what exactly it is that caused this..

Oh well.

Here goes nothing..

Alright, I'm finally doing it. I'm letting Naki go..

Got to say I'm feeling relieved. And slightly panicked. And sad. Definitely sad. But it's her time to go. It's time to let go of all the stress and make room in my head for new RP. And perhaps new character..

DAMN BABY FEVER!

LOOK, left hand only!

"You might feel some mild discomfort in your wrist tomorrow --"

Mild discomfort my ass.

Drama queen?

The doctor/hand surgeon/specialist forbade me to put any strain on my wrist for the next day or two (or until my wrist feels better, which might not be till the weekend). Writing with my left hand only is just too difficult (and so not worth it) so don't expect to hear from me for a few days.

As for the doctor himself.. Holy crap I've never felt like a 5yo drama queen before.. The guy was so frightening I was scared I might start crying. He stuck a few cortisone shots on my wrist after assaulting me and told me to be nice or else it's all in vain.

 "When you sit on your ass, doing absolutely nothing, and you still  feel like howling, that's only when it's actual pain."

Thanks for the info, doc.

xoxo,
Meja, scarred for life

PS.  My hand is numb and surprisingly it still hurts like crap. I hope this is worth it....

PPS:  I'm starting to think I  have a very low pain threshold. Grr.

I only have to wonder..

...why all my younger (teenage...ish) characters are so anti-kids when all I can think about is making more babies?

IT'S AN ILLNESS, I TELL YOU.

Check Up Sunday

It's Sunday! Whoop! It's 10am, I'm awake and not even hungover. Which is certainly something! But I'm also wailing and howling and trying to chop my arm off just so I'd have something to whack myself in the head with. I find that if I take the laptop to bed with me and lay down, I manage to write without feeling too.. uncomfortable. But even that seems to work for short periods at a time. Oh well.

Anyway. Last weekend I wrote a check list for this week!

☑ Finish the final task for Nakisha and fly her to NYC.
☐  Finally start downsizing my herd of characters (aka kill off Naki) (fat chance!)
☑  Figure out a way to RP it. Don't get too emotional, you loony. (Solution = I won't RP it at all)
☐  Try and figure out what to do with Nika.
☑  Reply to all my PMs...
☑  ....including Nicky's. (Well there are new ones waiting now, but at least I made some effort..)

...

OK, next week!

☐ Seriously, stop putting off killing Naki!
☐ Put more effort into RPing Nicky. Try for duck's sake!
☐ Get moarrrr RP for Hazel.
☐ Figure something out to keep Izzie interesting while she's gone.
☐ See if there's something to do with Noah. Or Eden.
☐ Get over the popobabyfever!

Honestly.. Never have I ever found a song that fits Hazel this.. perfectly!

I can rip you off, and steal all your cash

suckerpunch you in the face, stand back and laugh

Leave you stranded as fast as a heart-attack

All day, I think bad thoughts

I can break your heart at the drop of a hat

Stab you in the back, in two minutes flat

Screw your girl in the back of my Cadillac

I think bad thoughts

Danko Jones ♥

Gah!

News about my hand (and my ability to write and RP)!

I now have an appointment with a hand surgeon (fuck me, right?) on Monday and the permission to go see a physiotherapist. I'll continue to be on sick leave for at least another two weeks and after that we'll see if I'm OK to go back to work again..

Till then, I'll try and not to put too much strain on my wrist.. Which roughly translates to not being on my laptop so much. But we'll see. Without work AND my laptop, I'll probably go mad. So expect very little RP (if I can be a good girl and not be around) or very sporadic and incoherent replies.

Cheerio!

I'm starting to consider just gnawing off my arm to get rid of this pain.. I can be the next Captain Hook!
