true bank ninja confessions
Jul. 12th, 2008 11:10 amI'm taking most of the day off work today because I had a very painful medical procedure done yesterday, and I figure among reasons to take off work, that's a pretty good one. The good news is that I don't have bladder cancer. The bad news, as usual, is that they don't know what I do have.
I was trying to think how to explain why my WoW guild collapsed in a way my fandom friends could understand, and the first thing that came to mind was Pornish Pixies, and the attendant perpetual wank about being "elitist" and why one writer got invited and another didn't, and so on. That analogy only goes so far, because a guild is really more like a sports team -- some players are gonna get cut. (Okay I've never been on a sports team. But I've seen them on TV.)
( this is not a 'you are not prepared' joke )
So. I don't know what my plans are. It's not the game I'm burnt out on, it's being treated like shit by people who used to be my friends, in what used to be my escape. Sadly probably most of you in fandom can relate to that.
