Losing my "April Fool" Title...

hkellickWow, was I ever unprepared for yesterday.
April Fools Day, one of my two all-time favorite holidays and not only did I have no jokes to play on anyone, but I was suckered in by everyone else's jokes. It must be the stress.
I've really got get my ass on the grinder with this EIT stuff. I know I can do it, but I have only 18 more days to try to remember way too much stuff :P
Can we say PANIC?!?!
Yes, yes we can.
Today's been, altogether, a better day than yesterday. I managed to get a full 60 mintues of cardio in, which makes me proud of myself and, Sunday exluded, I'm still eating right, which make me more proud and I'm seeing the results on the scale.
*does the weight loss boogie*
So, yesterday was the 5th and a half birthday of Chaotic.
Of course, except for changing over from MUX to MUSH, nothing happened. Certainly no party. I'm not thrilledhappy about that, but *shrug*
What upsets me is the backlash of people who decided that Chaotic should NOT move to TinyMUSH 3.1 and that was a baaad idea. They kept at it, apparently, for long enough to make![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
kareila upset.
Threat aside, I don't like it when people makekareila upset. Because to make her upset, you really gotta keep at it/do something truly bad.
I dunno. Personally, I trustalierak and believe that TM3.1 is at least as good, if not better, than what we were currently running. And, for me, with the "Twink Olympics" supposedly happening this month, I feel all the better having moved over like that.
For the record, I don't, personally, know David Passmore (though I have it on good authority he's not my type of person (to put it nicely) ) nor Lydia, but I know that ifkareila and alierak thought TM3 was not ready, we would not have switched over.
And what does it matter WHAT Chaotic is hosted on anyways, so long as it remains Chaotic.
Though, between each of you and myself, I doubt I'll ever get used to calling it ChaoticMUSH. After 5 1/2 years, ChaoticMUX is most definately ingrained in my mind.
Ah well.
So, after some thinking and a discussion last night withdawnstar, I've taken out my Wiccan books and decided to sit down and read them again. I think, all in all, I've gotten a little too far from my own spiritual homebase and perhaps a little reminder of why I became a Witch and what it means to me will help center me.
So I took out "To Ride a Silverbroomstick" by Silver Ravenwolf (the first wiccan book I read and still my favorite.) and am rereading it, skipping over certain sections for others.
Wow, I'm tired. Exercising really took it out of me today.
What else?
Can't think of anything else, so I'll close this and post.
See y'all latahz.

Date: 2002-04-02 12:09 pm (UTC)Wasn't the changeover enough? The thing about parties is that you can't just say "Okay, I'm having a party now." The other people connected have to get into the spirit of it, and lately no one's in the spirit for anything other than chatting. *shrug* I think as sneaky pranks go it was successful, but I'm really not planning on changing the name to ChaoticMUSH "officially" - like you I am too used to the other. Robby just thought calling it ChaoticMUSH would turn people on to the prank. We'll probably end up like AuroraMUSH which moved from MUSH 2 to MUX way back when, but kept its old name for historical reasons.
Anyway, if us moving to MUSH 3.1 makes some people unhappy, because they prefer MUX 2.0 or hate David Passmore or whatever, I would be just as pleased to see them leave. Better that than whine at me. I just don't want people to second-guess me on how to run my own game, especially if it's someone who would never talk to me otherwise. I don't take criticism from strangers very well, and honestly, I don't know where people get the nerve. Criticism from close friends and people I trust - that's different, they understand me and my situation and aren't just parrotting "MUSH is BAD, MUX is GOOD" propaganda.
Whatever. Blah. Um, I hope you feel better. Should I hold off on any anarchist plotting or policy revisions until after you take your tests? I'd be happy to if you think it would help. Heaven knows I held off change long enough because of my own issues and you didn't complain (much).

Date: 2002-04-02 01:28 pm (UTC)And there was one other guy who made the "Use MUX 2.0, or else RhostMUSH, or if not those, PennMUSH" comment and I don't even remember his name, I'd never seen him before. :P

Date: 2002-04-03 07:23 am (UTC)Well, if you want to plot and come up with ideas and policies, I'll certainly look them over and put in my $1.32, but otherwise you can consider me a, more or less, noncontributing member until after the EIT, yes.
