So 1) what's your promoter ID for Perfect World?
More important 2) WTF is up with asking for an ID card #? What? WTF? What? Clearly I have no idea how to treat this. Never mind I figured something out
I'd like to reach the point where I see if it's pretty enough and if I can handle y'know, the wandering around slashing things. Cause if so then Guild Wars may be in my future.
Guild Wars doesn't ask you for your passport/id #, right?
Also I ponder if it's too late after registering to input you for promoter deals.

So I get up feeling like ass today. My sleep was interrupted twice or thrice by the cat mewing and crying for company and scratching open my door and biting the door and pulling down things hung on the back of the door. (Said cat is now on my lap acting like the Queen of effing Sheba and demanding head petting everr two minutes)
The the fire alarm also went off in the building last night and someone decided to have an early Sat morning fight right outside my blasted window.
So I get up feeling like ass, craving caffeine, and sore like a mofo - expecting to see grey clouds etc. At the moment I'm not feeling very much like leaving the house to run some errands I sort of need to do.
And I see a link to this on my feeds.
I sum up the following as: "My white ass doesn't need to be schooled in public by intimidating black people and since I don't NEED to deal with privilege and I don't HAVE to deal with privilege I'm going to shut completely up and not engage cause if I was racist anyway someone would have told me."
Goddess Wept! What the fuck is this shit?
A discussion on race that's all about "Poor white me, I'll be stomped and I don't understand why my pov is wrong and no one's going to lead me by the hand to the gentle rivers of self revelation and baptize me and give me a certificate of racism free, so I'm just not going to engage."
I wake up feeling like ass and the first thing I'm going to be doing is banning someone?
And it's funny that I read yonmei's post yesterday and didn't think anything specific (other than the latest round of wrong) had prompted her to it and found myself nodding at what she was saying and how she related being a woman and being queer to being aware and thinking about things to do with race. Turns out she was prompted by elfwreck, by this shit.
* I can't think of any reason that understanding white privilege should be more important to me than, say, understanding christian privilege is to everyone else.
And then she goes on to say that becoming aware of privilege will serve no real life purpose in her life. And that it takes up spoons.
Fuck shit damn woman - like it doesn't take up spoons in the lives of PoC who have chronic illness and pain and have to think in terms of spoons in the first place???!
And what the fairy fuck is up with saying shit like:
* I 'm fairly good at that game; I bet that if I concentrated, I could make a whole lot of "get it right" comments. I could be known as a Cool White Person Who Understands Racism (as well as any white person can). Wouldn't affect how I think or feel much; identifying the "correct" side in a debate and confirming those concepts doesn't involve me personally.
Dear White Allies, apparently you're walking around making race sensitivity and tolerance and understanding into some kind of popularity and coolness contest. And in real life you're not applying it to your thinking and interactions.
Fuck shit damn! So apparently as these discussions have occurred more frequently in the past two - three years, all that's being learnt is how NOT TO PISS OFF THE BLACK FOLKS - not actually new perspectives.
And isn't that a scary thought considering the repeated hot jack ass messes that keep occurring in fandom - over and over and over and over and over a fucking 'gain.
On the plus side, at least it's brought people out of the woodwork so I can make a list of 'White folks to be banned'.
Shit fuck damn. SHIT. FUCK. DAMN.
* I have seen a few posts (I'd have to go digging for links; let me know if you'd like that) saying people were tired of being reasonable and calm and polite.
Yes, elfwreck I'm one of those people who says I'm tired of being reasonable and calm. I am tired of being the racism education fairy. I am a racism educator 201 and 301. 101 students need apply elsewhere.
I can't even finish reading this shit. Cause it's homicidally funny how women being angry about misogyny is alright. Women writing angry posts about being fed up about anti-feminist bull shit is alright. But best don't let a person of colour just shout out their frustrations. Then they become scary and intimidating and a reason not to self examine.
Shit fuck damn.
This shit is priceless.
Anyone who agrees with elfwreck about this just needs to get the fuck off my flist. Just unsubscribe me now. Cause if you stay and you comment along these lines, I will not be kind to you. I repeat, this is the add/drop period for Angry Black Queer Willow 201 and 301. If you can't hack it, leave. Because I will not be understanding when you come to complain to me about your F.

I have never done the online gaming thing, and I went through the tutorial for FF8 like 3 times. Geeze I'm so lost just trying to figure out how to get rid of the damn chat window in Perfect World.
Why does that exist anyway - as open automatically at least. It's distracting and uneccessary.
