Ironic, coming from me, I know.
But it's Christmas. CHRISTMAS.
Tired of reading and hearing about people claiming Christmas is nothing more than a commercial holiday.
*yawn* You people bore me with your complaining, okay?
If you don't want to buy a present for someone, then don't. If you don't want to spend your money on decorations, then don't. No one is forcing you to participate in gift giving, or receiving either.
However, there's another way to look at it. Even if it is commercial, look at the gazillion's of people who get a paycheck because of it. Everyone who makes the gifts, transports the gifts, and sells the gifts. It's good for the economy. Shopping is good!
But that doesn't mean you have to go out and get into debt. If you don't have a lot of money, be creative and make something. You can make Christmas memorable without money. One of my favorite Christmas memories from when I was a kid is riding around looking at Christmas lights with my family.
Anyhow, there's no reason to be emo over the rest of society who actually enjoys this time of year. Save your bloody tears, okay?
Christmas is what you make of it.

Popular. You're Gonna Be Pop-U-Larrrrr
Suddenly, everywhere, "Shalee did this" and "Shalee did that". Poems! Fanmail! Strange random convos.
lol.
I feel like Galinda in the musical, Wicked. (hence the title of this post, it's lyrics from one of the songs)
Just to say, I did not rage quit the night I was podded on the Huola station. I don't fly with slaves anymore so getting podded isn't that big of a deal. It's equal to losing a ship, my implants are not expensive. Nor did I ragequit after the Customs Office battle.
I dutifully joined that fleet because some of my corpies were there, despite vowing not to fly another BS around Huola etc, because of the hotdropping.
I didn't ragequit at all, I switched to an alt because I was moving stuff around, I was still on vent chatting with my guys.
And, ILAW was already in the process of moving out of Huola.
Our corp has plans to do some stuff out of area for a few weeks, we've been planning this for the last couple of weeks in fact, it has nothing to do with the Mims 'taking' Huola. No one really cares all that much for occupancy at the moment since it doesn't mean anything.
It's amusing that some people think we are leaving the area because of that. Truthfully Huola can be taken back in the matter of hours with the new plexing mechanics. When we come back to Huola I'm sure we will retake the system (if we are bored).
Anyhow, enough of that nonsense.

About last night...
I'm currently sore at the Minmatar Militia.
I totally get the numbers game. We have more, or yall have more. And you cannot really tell people 'well no you can't fleet with us because they only have so many.'
I get that.
But when we commit to fighting at a disadvantage already with numbers, when we go ahead and take that fight, it's poor sportsmanship to then be hotdropped.
I don't get the overkill. What's the point?
As some of the Euro FCs will say, it's pure faggotry.
So yeah, I wont be engaging in anymore BCs fights, I'm not even going to replace my abaddon I think, what's the point?
And fuck, I used to love battleship fights the most, it was my absolute favorite. But not anymore. It's ruined cause SOME people have to show their epeens. Poor guys.
I get it. You have a big ship. Compensating.
So yeah, today I'm still not over it and hate all the Minmatar, except for Kuan Yida. He has immunity.

Why We Left KOTMC
To understand why KOTMC ended, you need to know how it began.
In 2010, I decided to leave my first corp on EVE, PIE, largely because of two reasons. I wanted the freedom to roleplay with who I wanted and where I wanted, and secondly, because I needed the freedom to write what I wanted without being censored.
For those who aren't familiar with PIE, it is an Amarrian 'RP' FW corp. Their defination of roleplay vastly disagreed with my own. PIE was a corp that considered saying 'sir' in corp chat rp. I craved the more indepth, character driven rp. I wanted stories with conflict, they for the most part, did not.
PIE forbade interaction with anyone unsavory. That meant no rp with pirates or reds, or going to any place with them present. The most interesting places at the time were pirate bars which were on the no-go list.
And right before I left, I was told there was a discussion about my rp blog, that it was about to be censored.
PIE was a great corporation, and still is- it just wasn't a good match for me. I needed more freedom.
I decided to leave and one of my 'wingmen', Aldrith, decided to go as well. He used the opportunity to start his own corporation and at the time I had only two requests of him. Let me write what I want and let me rp how I want.
He agreed, and KOTMC was born.
We poured our hearts into building the new corp and it became rather successful, I think. We picked up a great many people who would shape and re-define what KOTMC was, sometimes for the better, sometimes not.
Anyhow, fastforward.
The problems began when a couple of players decided they didn't like how I was roleplaying my character, and instead of coming to me directly about it, they went to other members of the corp behind my back to try and get me demoted from my position (btw my position was nebulous, something along the lines of a director/co-ceo).
The other members told me and Aldrith and that probably was the begining of the ending- though we didn't know it at the time.
I forgave the two who lobbied against me (one had left corp, the other had been demoted) and things seemed to straighten out for a while.
Eventually we invited the other one back to corp.
Several months pass without much ado until one random night, I take my character into our corp rp channel to rp.
Those two were there. Their characters seemed awfully strange and I got a bad vibe about the whole scene.
At first I thought I was just being paranoid, so I brought it up in our Director's channel asking what they thought.
Aldrith said I should talk to them, that something was off. I told him I'd rather we talk to them instead of doing it alone, but he insisted.
Upon Aldrith's request, I opened up a convo with the two. One of them accepted, the other denied it. I thought it was a mistake and asked in corp chat for them to join convo. They told me no, that they didn't have to.
In any other corp if a member blatantly told a Director no, they would be kicked on spot. I pointed that out in corp chat and apparently saying that hurt some people's feelings, they thought I was wrong to 'play the director's card'.
Instead of working things out, she logged off.
Okay fine.
Still a bit confused by everything, I find out that those two members were in a private channel with some other roleplayers and corp members and frequently would bring up my rp.
I didn't have a problem with someone not liking how I roleplayed my character, but I did expect a certain amount of respect, especially after I had forgiven them the first time for everything.
After reading logs of that channel, I decided I could no longer stay in a corporation with them. I couldn't believe some of the things I read (slut/whore/cunt), and was just...at the end of what I could tolerate.
I can overlook a lot of things, but at the same time, is it so wrong to expect common decency?
I had had enough.
After dropping roles, I went to bed, and the next day read the corp forums. A lot of people were upset, naturally. At that point I made a post saying that I'd stay on a few conditions: that Eran and I be publically recognized as Co-Ceo's since we were already doing the majority of the corp work, that those two involved be booted out of the corp, and that they be kicked out of the corp rp channel along with another non-corp member who was badmouthing me.
Aldrith denied my request.
I left.
Others followed, and we created Imperial Outlaws.
The new corp will focus more on pvp and less on roleplay.
Aldrith decided to take a break from EvE and he shut down the corp & rp channel.
I don't have any ill will against those who were involved, after all, it's just a game.
But I'm happy with the new corp, I'm happy to be in a place where I can trust my corp mates.

Illusions
I think I watch too many movies and read too many books. I'm constantly lost in some kind of story somehow, even if it's just in my own mind.
I think that I do that with EvE too. I turn the people into characters in my mind, even if they aren't roleplayers.
My corp is the Knighthood, and so in my mind, I've automatically turned the players into gallant knights of old. Noble and self-sacrificing warriors.
And the villans are just merely misunderstood men who are fighting for their own cause.
I think that is my biggest problem with EvE. I expect the boys to act like real men, to live up to this fantasy I have in my head. I cast them into the role of some warrior as if they were the hero in some kind of romance novel or some historical movie.
I guess that's why I'm always disappointed when I see smack talking or vulgarity. It breaks the illusion I have of them, its a reminder that they really aren't men. Just boys with vulgar mouths.

Those trolls
Sitting in Huola and in comes a noob toon that is obvious alt of one of our corp war targets.
Obviously the guy wouldn't come in his toon I'm at war with (afraid?)
Anyhow, so I'm the only KOTMC pilot in local and since there's no one else to troll, he starts.
I've been on EvE long enough that this pathetic attempts for attention does absolutely nothing but make me roll my eyes.
But, it got me to thinking.
What would prompt someone to be so nasty and absurd to a girl they don't even know?
I think the most obvious answer is that some guys probably have some kind of rage against women because they don't have one, have been rejected by too many, or are just homo's who wish they were women.
Whatever the case may be, that rage is then projected into a game, onto females they don't even know.
Sad really. It's like a pathetic way to rage against girls, saying all the things they wish they could in real life.
You know what I mean?
I feel more sorry for them than anything.

"Drop your dress a little bit and see your boobies"
Random web surfing today and read/saw this.
Absolutely adorable.
Apparently men never tire of boobs, even when they are 87.
