Getting this on the record now!

Because this is getting out of hand.


So recently my connection has been pure hell, my life has been lovingly smitten by Sheogorath, and my attention span fell into the deep-fryer and was only recovered after it was browned and bubbly and cracked.

To try to counter the stress of having pups I throw plotwards although I know I shouldn't, I keep making new pups, not saying I play them because I'm never on to coordinate anyway and am trying to keep them out of plot as auxiliary backup pups for when my net dies, telling some people, forgetting who I told, and then getting them involved in plot anyway and making them major pups. And then flailing.

This has been getting even more problematic since I've lost my knack of keeping track of what threads I'm in. Then a connection wobble wiped my remembered password off my hotmail account, I lost the paper I wrote passwords on in the move, and I haven't been getting any notifications for anyone. Then I realized I couldn't remember the total number of pups I had or which ones it was common knowledge were mine. I think I need to stop this and find a new coping strategy.

So. I cop to playing scaredbybook, hatchingviper, sighteddancer, and dead_comrade. You knew that? Good. Add to that mysterysim and aggro_speed. With luck, I'll be apping bubblesflies next cycle and stopping there. If you want to ping me to talk plot or plan/discuss threads, uh, you probably can't because of my connection. If any of those flaked or vanished on you, it's because I am flakily vanishing every ten seconds and now can't even open my inbox to meet the accusing stares of your unanswered tags. Sorry.

(I still have one anonypup, but that one's the one I'm trying to keep out of plot, although come to think of it that's where she is out-of-bar right now. Okay then. amazongeneral. There.)

So, Millimuns, how do you handle stress?

oooh, you're Phillipus? Cooooool.

:D!

I was pretty sure people who'd played with me long-term had twigged to her. Self-made icons of the same crop/filter type, same slightly overly-formal, help-I-can't-stop-being-ornate writing style. :p

But I, you see, am a moron >_>

If it were not for you? I would not feel like a ninja. *win!*

Generally I get my rifle and shoot people.

Um--actually, I burrow my head in sand for a month or so then poke it back out to see what I've missed.

(also can we has moar Philippus-Bond threads plees? Even though I'm like the flakiest flake that ever did corn flake?)

The last time I burrowed my head in sand, nesting groundhogs trimmed my hair off and carried it away to line their dens. :(

Of course we cans. I actually thought I had tagged her on once and was surprised to come back to the tag three hours later to find I'd never hit "post comment."

Nilliways is often how I handle the stress of the job. And sometimes it even helps with the stress of life.

Stress from the game, though? I vent at some closer Milli-friends, and let whichever voice is in charge guide me.

I generally seem to alternate between doing awful things to Raven and geting my back-up more auxiliary pups involved in giant plotthings that eat their lives!

Maybe we should have a support group?

*wry*

Maybe we should have a support group?

I'm not sure about this. It sounds uncannily like a plot for muns.

[varadia]

Which is just like the previous problem only . . .

More meta?

[not_that_spike]

Isn't that what millifortress is for?

Shoo flee?

*waves at an unknown god in the sky with There's-something-in-my-way-that-I-should-just-be-able-to-step-over! thought bubble*

....um, to answer the question, I don't handle stress. I let it pile up until I asphyxiate under its weight.

Wallameemoo! *gets into a shooing match with someone else who needs the bathroom too*

Why didn't I think of that?

So, Millimuns, how do you handle stress?

Badly.
Very very badly.

I love you, too, my honey-sugar sweetie bumpkins! :-*

How do I handle stress. well I handle stress via the game and failing that I'll usually make several posts apologizing profusely for being angry or whatever emotion the game inspired. Other then that? I've come to realize it's just a game. It's a big part of my life and I wouldn't trade it for anything, I've made friends, It's...a defining factor in who I am? But it's just a game. I just keep reminding myself of that.

Like playin' football and getting into an argument over that I suppose.

Re: Bella Goth; My sim got married to your pup in my (not here, but on S2) game. When I found that she was a Millipup I laughed very hard and debated apping Johnny Smith. Because he's all over sorts of awesome.

Re: Stress; I go sleepless. :D

Step back, take a deep breath, do something else for the night/week - with or without telling anyone, it depends if I have plot. Go 'it's a game. People won't mind if I take a break. It's just a game'

(it works! sometimes)

Or make icons, but making icons is my default stress-reliever for pretty much anything.
