A lot of update-iness going on. But I'm a good dooby and I'll use the ij cuts. Pick what parts interest you...if any at all do.
So right now I'm very anti-spore. I'm tired of creating and tired of commenting and over all tired of playing. I thought I was tired of the game before, but now it's like I NEED at several week break.
I'm still annoyed that for whatever reasons achievements regarding getting the level ten shaman and reaching the center of the universe are not showing up. I've earned a few achievements since that have shown, so I know for some reason just those two aren't logging.
It seems to me that to get comments one has to be a bit of a drama whore. I mean I do have some people who consistantly comment, but it seems to me either I have creative bursts where I make to much or I'm not making enought and either way I lack comments. Or perhaps as someone suggested to me, my creations just aren't that good. Meh, I'll admit I'm not front page news, but I have good color and some good shapes and creatures.
I'm really really really sick of trends in spore. I don't want to see another young dna creature, aquatic creature, or flower creature possibly ever again and that even includes my own works. I also don't think I want to see anything anime, video game, or otherwise related on spore.
Getting sporecasts to take off is terribly hard. I know some of my sporecasts are of unpopular things (like tea or quilting). But I have a Roman and Eygpt themed sporecast that kick ass. I mean the Rome theme has EVERYTHING in the entire sporeipedia that is nice looking that has any Roman/Greek flavor to it. And the Eygpt sporecast can boast the same. Plus I've advertised those casts often in the forums, because they are two nice, should be popular casts. Who can say that they've never just wanted some classy nice buildings for a planet or some creatures that are all themed similarly? I mean hello, that's the whole point of a sporecast, to be able to search for items all of the same nature in one area.
And the game play is very flat. I'm just very tired of it. I think if there wasn't something wrong with my main game, and I was still earning acheivements, this would be a whole different post. I think I'd but up there organizing and slating planets to be x thing or y thing. I'd probably be all over making new sporecasts filled with goodies I'm going to want for galatic. As it stands now, I'm not sure I want to buy the expansion.

It's possible spore has turned me off all forms of gaming right now. I mean we bought a cube this weekend and we got some games I love (smash bros and pikmin and we're looking into a few Zelda games) and I'm soooooo not into it. I played pikmin for a bit all exicted and what not, but then after maybe 40min I was done. I have no desire to play again anytime soon.
The mate wants to get a wii, and I like the wii and a host of wii games, but I just can't seem to get any interest in playing any of those games even if we had them. I don't know, now that I have a little more energy and can think a bit longer at night, playing video games of any sort seem to be a waste of my time. I know it sounds a bit snobbish. Especially since my idea of doing something includes writing in insanejournal, reading fanfic, and thinking about stuff. It's really not that much higher than playing video games. Execpt that I've been having so much trouble doing any of that recently after work it feels huge.
So yeah really really not in a video game mood and it's a shame because some games I was waiting for have recently rolled out onto DS. Pokemon platinuim is of course among them.

So I witnessed my first head on car crash this past Fri. Everyone was not ok. I'm still trying to piece out what happened. I was driving, slowing down for the red light a head, traffic started flowing and right in front of me two cars just ran head into eachother. Didn't seem like anyone was turning or anything just bam. No idea why or how. Bumpers and unidentified car parts everywhere. The Guy's jeep was so wrecked he had to escape out the top. He was bleeding and he needed two guys to help him. The other guy was wandering around in the middle of the road, dazed or stoned or I don't know. I had my first aid kit on me and did what I could till the ambulance got there. I don't think the guy in the jeep should have gotten out of the car, I'm pretty sure he had some kind of concussion, but then it looks like his car might have been leaking gas and here in WY people are such assholes they will drive through an accident like that too. Not something I'd do, but hey, I'm a decent sane human being.
Also I'm wondering if anyone knows whether used strep tests, RSV tests and flu tests are considered bio-hazards? I had to look through shred the other day for some information, which to my knowledge should have been filled up with only patient info, when a nurse comes in and tells me that no, they also throw out used tests in shred because they have patient info on them and I should really wear gloves. Besides the ick factor, the exposure both myself and a colleuge endured, and the exposure the guys who move the shred eventually get, isn't anything with spit or snot on it a bio-hazard---especially if the test is positive? Dunno, I just don't think that's how we're supposed to be legally disposing those tests.
I wish my life were more insteresting and I had more to share with you, but it's not. I mean it seems that the chemicals in the cleaning and sanatizing solutions at work were making me sick and my organic substitutes seem to prevent that. It also seems like I had either a vitamin B12 or/and iron deficienty and after about a week and a half on vitamins I feel much better.
I'm in a poetic mood, but I don't know what if anything that will produce. I had some great descriptive lines bouncing in my head on the way from here to fort collins, but I lost them before I could write them. They'll probably come back at another time I can't write them. I'm also in a fanfic mood and maybe a mood to go and look at my briar story. Not 100% on that.
I have some pics of Wyoming and Colorado, but it's been snowing on the weekends and in the 50-70s on the week days so I haven't got as much as I want or exactly what I want.
I asked the mate if he thought I could be a doctor and his first answer was no, which is kind of funny. I can see where he gets that idea though. I don't like gore or thinking about gore. I really am good with it when it's actually in front of me (couldn't even be a receptionist at a Children's Clinic here if that wasn't true), but he's never seen that. In the end, the mate relented and said if I really wanted to I probably could be. Of course, that's the rub. Do I really want to? I was into the idea two days ago and now I'm into a completely new and different idea. Anyhow, probably no summer classes if I can't narrow it down any. There's so mucht to do and so little time.
I feel very calm. I'm sure that will be short lived though. Anyhow, I know there was more I planed to write about, but this is what I can think of. I'll write the rest as it comes...if it comes.

Or maybe not.
Either way, I hope the vitamin deficiency levels out, that the workplace chemicals air out with the upcoming springtime weather, and that you pursue your dream aspirations (doctor or not). Sometimes it's not about the destination, but having a destination makes the trip interesting. Enjoy the trip.
