Inhuman update!
(with the inks on DA)
sorry i'm a day late, i got infected by a small scale plague brought over curtosy of ryx >:O but i'm doing better now. seemed like just a sort of cold bug. it knocked me out of commission for saturday though, that's for sure.
halloween was fun, though it's a shame people couldn't stay longer. also a shame that the hiking trail was overrun with hunters and we didn't have any orange hats, so we couldn't really go stealing pumpkins. still, it was nice to hang out with everybody. :> vee tried bacon soda and we made cupcakes and a dead dog. also ryx watched noroi and got scared. all according to plan, wahahaha
halloween eve itself was a little lower key than we expected. it was raining, so there were fewer kids than we had last year. plus it seemed to end almost a half hour early - though a high wind warning was in effect, so between that and the rain you really couldn't blame anybody for not wanting to stay outside. we still went through four bags of candy, though!
all in all it was fun, except for getting sick at the end.
additionally the dr. drugs RP wrapped up, and i'm honestly sad to see it go. i really didn't think i'd get attached to a superteen RP, or that i'd get invested in a story that is essentially tabletop Just Say No. but it was a lot of fun! maybe we'll get to rekindle the crew another campaign. right phil? phil?? right???
i also have some Not So Cheerful Stuff to say. two points, really.
point the first: recently someone kind of badgered me repeatedly to "go after" an individual who was using the name of one of my characters as their username on a website. there was absolutely no indication they were 'stealing' from me in any way, and their characters/works were completely different from mine. the similarity was in name alone.
please don't harass people who use the names of fictional characters for usernames, especially if they're in no way trying to rip off a creator. and please don't expect creators to harass them either. that's Lame.
point the second: i also recently had someone post some Personal Medical Information on the front page of one of the art sites i use, as a shout. this is Not Okay. i hid it, but this is still a huge issue. no matter how you come across someone's medical information, you do NOT have a right to publicly post it without their consent. it does not matter if you think they do not care. it does not matter if you think you are on friendly terms with them. you Do Not Do That.
if you absolutely feel a burning unquenchable need to talk to them about the medical information you have come across, use PRIVATE means of communication such as e-mail, notes or instant messengers. DO NOT post it publicly in shouts. that's WAY out of line.
aright. that's all i got. see you next week.
