Before I do today's blog, I just wanted to let you guys have a head's up that I'm going to be in the chat room for a few hours before work. If you wanted to have a chance to drop in and say hi, I'll be in there ^_^!

Just a little quick thing...

I had Nojuan hop on his laptop to test out the chat room with me, to make sure it was working, which I should have done first ^-^', and I had to walk him through logging in since he's a first time user like I was. It made me realize some of you may not have used TinyChat before, so here's what you need to do.

1) Click on Lily's Thicket (link to the right)
2) You can either log in with your FB, your TinyChat if you have one, or as a guest.
3) To log in as guest, just enter whatever user name you would like to display as.

And voila! You'll be chatting with me in no time! I am still in the chat for a little while, so if you'd like to pop in, feel free to!

Hey guys! I'm going to be in my chat for a bit so hop on in and let's chat! Xan is being nice enough to let me on his laptop while he plays a game on the XBox, so I have some time on here, though I don't know how long exactly. It'll be a couple hours at least, so you have plenty of time to possibly catch me ^_^.

To join the chat just click over to the right where it mentions Lily's Thicket, and it'll direct you to the chat. You don't need to have an account to join, just make up a guest name, or you the game name it gives you, so no pesky memberships!

Hope to catch you there!

So I had an idea a little bit ago and I've been working on setting things up, in case you guys like my idea.

I was thinking of setting up a chat room for us all to meet up in from time to time, since there are times when I get on-line and just totally forget to blog like I should. If I did set it up I would be posting times for when I KNEW I would be getting on-line and jumping into the chat. And of course there would be times when I didn't plan on jumping on, but still did anyway. I would post on Twitter or Facebook when that would be happening, so you didn't miss out on me being in there.

The only reason I was thinking of doing the chat room is because there are so many of you who are tuning in to read my blog, I was thinking of getting a little more of a personal note with you lovely folks. I would be more than happy to just chat with you guys about anything, or answer any questions you might have. If I do set it up all the way, I'll post the link to it for you guys to be able to jump in and maybe catch me on an unexpected time, or during a planned time.

In other news, I've told you all before I'm a fan of some YouTubers, and one of them, Tobuscus, has recently posted a new parody song, that I'm in love with. I'm not a fan of Ylvis, but Toby's parody of What Does The Fox Say? is absolutely awesome, therefore I'm going to plug it right now.

You NEED to go check it out and enjoy it yourself... Or I'll open my jaws and nom on your head for a bit like a giant, squishy chew toy ^_^. Kay?

Anywho, it's my turn to walk Jack before we head off to bed, so hopefully I'll talk to you guys later!

So I'm just sitting outside, listening to some Jazz while I wait for Nojuan to walk Jack. Got some stuff on my mind tonight involving our living situation... And the roommate situation...

Xan is Nojuan's friend, same as I am, but there is a big difference between Xan and I.

Nojuan has BPD (Borderline Personality Disorder for those of you who might confuse it with BiPolar Disorder) and for a while we would get into some pretty wicked fights and we wouldn't understand, "Where the hell did this even come from?" So we went to the library together back in 2011 and we found a book written for people with BPD, and for those who love them and either just have them as friends, or as loved ones. We both read it so I could understand him and he could have a better understanding of his disorder. Since then we do still fight, but nowhere near as bad as we used to.

Because of that book, and various web-sites, I've learned his triggers, or other things that cause one of his "fits". And knowing these, I avoid them as best as I can, or calm him down during a "fit".

Xan knows Nojuan has BPD and he can't always control his emotions, or reactions, and yet he won't research it. Living with someone, or even knowing a friend in a non-communal situation, that has BPD is a two way road. BOTH parties have to figure out how to work together and Xan refuses. It has caused fights that rival our old fights when it was just Nojuan and myself, and Xan hates fighting but won't do his part. I just don't know what to do...

I want to do what's best for us, but not mess up friendships, you know? I don't know...

I just have to say something before I finally go to bed. It's 5:05a (EST) right now and I hate my buddie insomnia. Insomnia for me is like the boyfriend that you can't find a way to break up with, no matter how many ways you try to discreetly, or boldy, end the relationship. So yeah, it's 5 in the morning right now and while I wait for Nojuan to walk Handsome Jack, I decided to check my stats on Blogger.

For those of you who don't know, that's my blog's server.

Anywho, so I'm at 1,100 views and I just wanted to do a quick blog to say... Thank you. Thank you to the countries tuning in to see what I've posted each time ^_^. I appreciate all of you and I might put up a treat for you soon.

You know, I can't help but get just a smidge frustrated with Dylan from work. I love the guy, I really do, but all day long him, and whoever is on the makeline with me, tend to play Houdini on me. Most of the time it leaves me with a screen of orders and no help, but there are times when they leave because I have another person. That is fine. So why does it frustrate me more?

Had the usual happen today, where I kept getting ditched, and no matter how much I holler for help, it takes someone going to Dylan to get help. I know he can hear me so this is just rude, because he's doing it to talk with people. There was a group standing there just talking, and no help is coming my way. I fight through it until around 9:10 (EST) when I clock out and go in back to continue my computer training.

The WHOLE time, almost as soon as I sit down he calls for help. So I have to keep randomly clocking back in. My ride shows up at 10:40 so after barely getting any training done, I call it a night and pack up to leave. Im almost out the door and he begs me for help.

What the Hell did he do before I came to the store, besideds be fucked? Again, I love the hell out of Dylan, but I'm not going to have help when I start closing, he needs to wean himself off of me. I would do it but I feel bad turning people down for help because I fully believe in Karma.

Anyway, I just needed to get that out. Thanks for tuning in!
