So, I got on Jask again. I can't help it. I have to know what's going to happen next. Her friend is still being a butt, but she loves him anyway and wants nothing more than to protect him. He pissed her off so badly yesterday she ran around like a blind idiot. I'm surprise she's still alive. She wanted to scream and beat something half to death. She's almost good now... but she's not done punishing her friend for his behavior.
Also, I watched a movie with really crappy acting today. I made my husband mad because I bitched about how boring it was. Oh well.
I also took my neighbor to the hospital today. I feel very much for her.

Drama, Drama, Drama
I'm trying to take a break from Jask. She is very emotional right now because of some things that her friends are doing. However, Altal isn't learning very well and it is frustrating me something awful. Some jerk keeps killing all the useful MOBs. I mean, what the hell? there are plenty of other bodies you can snipe. Leave the shop keepers and one of a kind MOBs alone. Jerks.
So, I was supposed to go see my niece today, but there was a change of plans. Now I have to figure out what to do for dinner tonight.
Fun fun.
Even though I said I wanted to get a break from Jask.. I have the strongest urge tog et on her and work on her magic.

Oops
So I have barely had time to mud.. but I'm playing now and my body is saying, "Girl, get to sleep!" but I can't. I'm having fun.

Some Special
Today I'm going to do something nice for my husband so that he doesn't leave me. I told him that I had a surprise for him. I hope he likes it a lot. Right now I'm semi botting with my fighter on DartMud. When she isn't agitated she's very soothing. She's a definate challenge to roleplay right though, because she lacks the biting tongue that Jask sometimes has around her friends. Of course, Altal only has a few friends, and that's only because she has helped them out a great deal in their beginnings. Sometims it's hard to play a character that has no debt to anyone. I don't know if I'd ever play a character that knows so much again. I mean, it's great saying "Yeah, I did this on my own" but damn is it lonely sometimes. It's ok though. She tells some rockin' stories about centaur culture on Oolachi. I kinda love her for it. And really, who is going to tell her "You're wrong!" There are no other centaurs that play on a regular basis.
So, Jask is going to take the back burner for a while. Mainly because everyone is always afraid she's going to open her mouth where it isn't appropriate. Granted, she has earned that reputation. She does talk too much. She's too helpful, and far too eager to please. She also suffers from the same crippling problem I have: She has to answer the question. She is also a terrible liar. I have no idea how someone can be a terrible liar when no one can see your face, but whatever. She manages it.
But back to my husband. Why he loves me, I'll never guess. I've been neglecting him for about 3 months now, though honestly it isn't entirely my fault. I mean, I have a problem. I have a serious problem. I've known that. It is why I stopped playing for a year. I knew that if I didn't stop my husband would leave me. We were having a hard time in our marriage because of his family and our living arrangements. I stopped playing because it sucked up so much of my time. He was unadmittedly jealous of the time I spent on Jask.
However, I have a serious problem in my brain. I cannot stand reality. It bores the crap out of me. I'm so used to fantasy entertaining me that I get extremely agitated when I do not have something to read, listen to, watch, or play. I did an insane amount of housework to keep myself occupied, but really there isn't much to do between folding loads of laundry. My husband and I drifted in and out of WoW obsessions. I still have an account to occasionally play with my DartMud buddies, but he sold his because he didn't want to be addicted. Which, honestly, I could tell that wasn't possible. We went out and did things. WoW did not consume our entirely life. We could drop it at the snap of a finger and go do something. It did not consume our every thoughts.
So whatever, one way of occupying my mind with him is out the window. His fault really. He wasn't in danger of WoW addiction. he was just alliviating boredom. He doesn't get it though. I don't think he's ever truly been addicted to anything except maybe FreeWorlds..and he kicked that. I stopped playing DartMud for him. I guess he figured out that I resented him a bit for it so he encouraged me to play again, but now I just can't stop when it's a good time to stop because it's always "one more improve" and "oh, Theodor is awake". It's pathetic. I hate myself.. but the only time I get my "fix" is on the game.
I'm hoping that writing about it will help. Especially since Rob doesn't let me talk about DartMud with him anymore.

A Bit About Me
For those of you who will actually read this, here is a bit of background about who I am and what I am. My name is Amanda, and I am a MUD addict. What is a MUD? It's a Multi-User Dungeon, though I prefer the term Domain to Dungeon. There is a Wiki entry on it an everything. I'm married. I have no kids. I'm not ready to have kids. In fact, I don't think it would be a good idea since I'm clearly not fit to have a healthy marriage.
My main MUD is DartMud. It is by far the best MUD in the world. There is no MUD that will ever or can ever match up to it. I might piddle around in other MUDs for weeks at a time, but DartMud has my heart and soul. Other MUDs feel more like a dirty affair than anything else. They excite me for a while, but at the end of the day, I want the tride and true DartMud.
I have two characters on Dartmud. It's kind of a shame they will never meet. They would make one heck of a mining team. One is a plucky elf named Jask. The other is a silent, plodding centaur named Altal who wants nothing more than to be a noble warrior... and I mean noble much more on the side of the adjective than the noun.
But they're not so important as how I got to where I am today: A MUD addict.
I think it started when I started to read. I became lost in the worlds that the writers created. I wanted to be there. I wanted to be part of the story. It fascinated me. The characters intrigued me. What really began to put me over the edge was The Dragon Riders of Pern series. I really wanted to be in that world. I wanted to ride dragons and defend the world. It was all very romantic and the fantasy of it blew my mind. I yearned for dreams of dragons and soaring through the air. I rarely got those dreams.
I was playing NeoPets one day and saw a DRoP roleplaying thread. I decided to click on it and from that moment on I was hooked to roleplaying. I found a message board and I started to play there. I played there for a year or so before there was some drama that made me walk away good. Then I drifted from dieing board to dieing board.
Then, one day out of the blue, my best friend called me and begged me to get on this thing called the MUD. I was like "Whatever, Jessica. I'm not getting on your stupid little game."
But, none of you know Jessica.. so none of you know how persuasive she can be. She totally got me to download Zmud and sign on. I had no idea what I was doing at all. The Immortals (Imms for short) brought me into a "room" and had to step by step explain to me how to walk, talk, and pick something up. I was completely hopeless and in over my head. However, I slowly got it then I was playing it like it was Spyro or something. It was supposd to be a roleplaying game and, I'm sorry to my friends who are reading this, it wasn't very rp oriented. You had to get flagged for RP which meant writing a background for your character, but there was no actual rp.
However, I enjoyed the game enough. I wasn't addicted to it or anything. I could walk away from it at the snap of a friend's fingers. I would ignore it for a couple of days and go back and not feel any sort of reward for doing so. It was mainly a way to keep track of my best friend without the use of a cellphone. One of the players on the game and I started talking though, and he mentioned this game.
He didn't tell me the name. He just told me that it existed. He was having a blast on it and was complaining to me about how his shirt was destroyed from when he fell off of a horse. I was like "WTF?" That wasn't even possible. At first the way he described the MUD was off putting to me. I did not like how things fell off when you signed off. I was spoiled by the utter simplicity that was Dark Lair.
To make a not so long story a little shorter I gave into him and tried DartMud out. I admit, Jask wasn't my first. I had one character before. Her name was Skyla. She died in less than 24 hours from being eaten by a lion. She does not count. Jask was created in November of 2005. She was supposed to be a warrior, but a troll named Feybol talked her into being a mage. She's been a Crafter ever since.
DartMud roped me into its world. There is no place like it anywhere. I have found muds that have almost literal copies with such miniscule differences they may as well be the same thing. I can't even bring myself to log into LustyMud.. a DartMud spin off. I'm sure that in the first decade or so of DartMud's coding things were rough. I admit there are still bugs. However, that does not take away from the sheer awesomeness that made me an Addict.
My friends and I call it DartDrug. Why? Because it rewards us more than any drug in all the world could do. It triggers everything we need. I mean, why be a socially clumsy person who feels terrible in your own skin when you can be a beautiful, lithe elf that everyone wants to be around?
Anyway, I'm about to fall asleep. I had a scavenger hunt with Altal tonight that frustrated the hell out of me.
