Wrist hurts, not in the usual way, like I might have sprained it.
The usual way: stress from its many uses throughout the day.

I'm forcing myself to make this entry, so prepare for randomness.
(turns out I found a subject)

I began playing Lineage II on this private server called L2Dementia.
It's a great place, rules wise. Low population, but that only hurts the economy.
There have been issues with keeping the server up, the activity of those in charge,
and in a smaller scale, the political issues among the 5-6 active clans / guilds.

The login server got out of sync. It needed rebooting.
The maintainer was no where to be found.
Few days downtime. No biggie, right?

Well, save for my insistence that when I want to do something, no one should stop me.
oh, and in that attitude, if anyone were to take something I want, I'll cease to want it.
*laughs*

So I began shopping around for an alternative private server.
Next time that happens, I won't be in a position to care as much.

What sucks is... it's a really good server, save for its neglect.

I did find a better one, hosted in Belgium. Lag tastic.
Plus I think they shut their servers off at night. The hell???

I found a 'neat' one, but you could be top level inside an evening. Boring. Especially since I don't enjoy fighting other people. I know it's the point of the game. Kindly piss off. The point of the game is whatever I make it. So I'll get killed on occasion while playing. Big whoop. Not important.
I will make a distinction on fighting for something, like property (castle sieges), items, or... something else. But killing someone just because they're standing beside you? Um... I don't find anything remotely fun about that, but props to people that do.

I really liked another one where it seemed I could earn everything I wanted, but it was tedious in that I had to work a little too hard for some of the more simpler things. Decent alternative, plus I read they like to role play. Could be interesting.

I have not yet found the balance between getting everything I want, not having too work to hard for it, and not getting it too quickly. *laughs*

Actually, I'm pretty sure I did find that, but ... Belgium. Lag. Server turned off during my prime time.

Oh, also, I learned to speak Ping ying when I played official, so I don't care too much about foreign servers where English isn't the language of choice.

I have deduced that I may have sprained my wrist
1) cleaning the bathroom (too much elbow grease!)
2) driving (maybe it got tangled in a turn?)

Either way. I can definitely see swelling now,
and I have slapped on the icy hot.

Phantom pains are so lame.
Why can't it just hurt immediately after injury?

Oh and
3) Hey, maybe I slept on it wrong.
