Gamer Language.
May. 23rd, 2009 06:20 pmI know this term is used all the time in gaming, when you've been killed by something and you never had a chance, but damn, it's still disturbing to here my eight-year-old nephew say the phrase:
"He raped me four times!!!"
I'd argue that the term is used like this because gaming is dominated by men, but all the girls I play with use it too. I think I've used it myself. I'm torn about what I think about the use of the term this way.
And I know I abused the word "term" in the post, but it's hard to form sentences when the eight-year-old is still chattering into your ear.
He's also fond of the term "filthy beggar". He's used it six times since I started typing this post.

It's Hot today.
Apr. 25th, 2009 12:04 pmIt's hot today, at least in the house. It's actually kinda cool outside. If only I had something to DO out there, I'd go and be in tuned with nature or something.
So my niece Lacey has a boyfriend. She's ten, so I doubt that means anything, but you never know with kids these days. Her cousin Trent is nearly nine and he told my sister not to worry because "he already talked to him" for her. LOL
Dad's outside spreading mulch and refuses any help offered. Corbin's outside with him "supervising" and trying to do half of it for him. Corbin doesn't take no for an answer, so they'll probably be at it for a while. Dad's all flushed, panting, and red, so hopefully he caves before he gives himself a heart attack.
It's nothing new that I have poor circulation, but I woke up at 4 in the morning in MASSIVE pain because apparently I rolled onto my arm and cut the circulation off to it somehow. It hurt for a while and it's still kinda numb in a rather strange way. Which means it's better now, but damn it was pretty scary to wake up to that. I could hardly move it and it hurt like hell to do it.
Megan's made it into the JET program! I'm massively excited for her and sad at the same time. I really wanted to do that, but I doubt I can get in, more so with this large gap of being unemployed that I'm sitting on. I'll just have to live vicariously through her.

Life Can Really Suck (some more)
Jan. 17th, 2009 05:50 pmFirst, thanks to Tan for accidentally making me feel better by letting me talk fandom at her. I'm much calmer now after what happen below:
( Cut, because it's long and it's more for me than other people anyway. )
