For the health and sanity of Nrys/Iriock/Second Chance systems and relationships, I think we need to set some ground rules and expectations for when we all are face to face next time.
Things I need for my own sanity (and this is for BOTH other systems):
1. Time to myself at least once a day, for at least 2 hours. I realize now that I really do need it. It helps my mood and it makes me HAPPY to see the people around me, instead of resentful that I didn't get any time to myself.
2. For everyone to just pick up after themselves, so we don't feel like we're spending all of our time taking care of the house. We want to have fun too. Picking up after yourself doesn't mean putting things in piles, but putting things AWAY where they are meant to go. I try to keep the house up as much as possible, but when no one is doing their part, it gets utterly ridiculous really fast.
3. Dishes done by people who are NOT ME when I cook. And in a timely manner. This means either you all can do them together, or you can take turns. I don't care HOW they get done, just get them done, and get over it. We're all adults. Let's act like it.
4. Not eating out every meal. Or even every other meal. It's unhealthy, and we gain weight every time, and it makes this body VERY ill.
5. No pets bought on a whim. Every time, we then spend the rest of the year figuring out how to take care of said pets and feeling bad that they aren't getting as much attention as our own pets. I love animals, and we get caught up in the moment. Please let's keep Iriock sane by not making this an issue anymore.
6. Not spending $300-500 per week during the time Second Chance is here. It throws our budget off for 2-4 months and causes stress and panic. I'd like to NOT have that be a problem.
7. A pre-determined plan for at least 30% of the time. And not just "I want to get out of the house" but things like "On the weekend of the ______th, I would like to go to St. Louis, because I hear there's a great art show/game/festival/etc." MY trying to plan things out for everyone doesn't work, because I just don't care enough to plan it all out. It's not my tourist vacation. I'm more than willing to go wherever people want, even to drive all over hell and back, but I REALLY don't want to plan it. Nor do I want it to be expected that I'll pay for plans. If you find a really cool plan, and it's going to cost $10-$20 bucks a person, either expect to pay for everyone to go, or to at least run it by everyone to verify we have that kind of money. We are po' folks. Let's keep it in mind.
8. I REALLY don't want to hear whinging about how little money there is for things. I stress and panic about money. Tell me your budget and either let me keep track of it (and I WILL make you stick to it) or don't tell me the budget and simply say "there's not money for that". Trust me, it will save us ALL a lot of stress.
9. I hate being told who can be out when. Let's knock that off. Multiplicity in Iriock is an organic thing. People will come and go and sometimes you won't know them, or like them, and you're just going to have to DEAL with it. That means sometimes people won't get time they want. It means sometimes in the middle of a "scheduled time", you may get kids/animals/walk-ins/frienamies/etc you aren't expecting. Roll with it. It'll make everyone happier if they feel they aren't being BANNED from being out.
10. Each relationship between the bodies is important. Nyrs doesn't disappear from Iriock's life just because Second Chance is in the house. This is really to remind US. Because we SUCK at figuring out how to balance our life. We are going to try to do a LOT better at this, by taking time to spend JUST with Nyrs sometimes when Second Chance is here. That isn't a "I don't want to spend time with SecC", it's "I want to have a marriage left when SecC goes back to the UK". Because... um, I almost didn't this last time. Or the time before. Or the time before that. And I'd like to NOT spend 6 months trying to get my relationship back to some semblance of normalcy.
Okay, that's it for now. Now it's you all's turns. Post the things you need. And I assure you that this will get longer as I think of more. Discuss it in the comments, bitch, rant, growl.. whatever. Feel free to say "you're being really harsh" or "amen" or even "Fuck off, Iriock people" if you want to. I'm cool with it. I'm just wanting to open a dialog the three of us haven't had yet.

Using it whilst coding tables will not end well.
That is all.

I wasn't originally going to include app writing for my RPWM count but now I am, damn it, because I need to get these ![[info]](http://www.insanejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) steamtrek apps done. XD Last ditch efforts ftw!
Vaguely related, but does anyone know of any good French music that they can recommend to me? French indie/folk would be super fabulous but all I have right now is MC Solaar and Yelle and neither of those work very well for what I need it for. :P
ALSO LING ARE YOU ON GOOGLE WAVE? Because you should be! If this Wave thing turns out to be as amazing as it seems to be, it would be useful for mod stuff, I think.

I have created endless entertainment in my household by naming my Lego Rock Band character Draco. My daughter is mostly amused that using only Lego pieces that we've unlocked so far that I've managed to make him look a decent bit like Draco. It's really a good thing that my family is amused by me.

Ummm. . . to those few in games with me who read this, I apologize for falling off the face of the planet. I've been sick to death and bouncing in and out of the hospital for like a month and a half I think.
Am home now, and will be trying to catch up in coming days. I think one of my two games is dead. Which makes me feel both more guilty for being M.I.A. and less. Weird.
So. How's everyone?

Mads is just as fierce and indomitable since the last time I iconed him, two years ago. I love his salt-and-pepper hair. The skeletal bone structure. The cheekbones that could cut me like a knife. The wolfish eyes. I love him.

Project: Do Apps Over Thanksgiving Break is turning out to be a total bust (I already have ideas for a second Dreadcharacter, this is bad). Also, I do not have enough plot. steamtrek and fleets people who want to hash anything out, drop me a line here, and I will creep on your concepts and get back to you asap! :>
Also, regarding my schedule: I am starting a daily dose of Ambien at 11:00 p.m. CST, so I will be out of commission from that point every night for the foreseeable future. However, I shall endeavor to be around more during the day, and I am always reachable by e-mail!
P.S. I promise to get back to each and every one of you telling you why your characters are awesome. It shall be my Thanksgiving present to RPdom.
