My Priorities Are Whacked

Hello minions.

I need to get my priorities straight. But I guess it's just... hard to do.

For example: I could be getting words in on "Write This Down". Instead I spend it writing detailed stories about my Skyrim characters' lives, specifically my totally boss necromancer High Elf Arch-Mage.
In the actual PC game, not my rp, that is.
I think I mentioned to Mania, or maybe even on my blog, that something is seriously wrong with that. Not in of itself, but I have the most complex backstory ever for my PC character Tamaros, the aforementioned awesome choclatey super duper-y necromancer on the PC game than any of my actual rp characters. I mean, what I write for him is really not going to make an overall difference. It won't affect the game or the character or his interactions with people. It's just for... me?
IDK.

Also, as I may also have mentioned, I like to wind down from the drama of my super-dee awesome rps like Were Myths and Aisthesis with really blah-blah mediocre sites that I can just relax in and breathe easy. Right?
WRONG!
It used to be that camp half-blood site I mentioned where SOMEHOW, my character ended up being the son of Sesshomaru (yes, that guy from Inuyasha) and there were demons and angels and stuff. (like, why?)
But that got killed by webs because it went over bandwidth (I warned them, but nay, they would not listen). So I recently got involved with warrior cats rps.
You heard me.
Warrior Cats RPs.
The bane of any self-respecting rpers existence.

Now, the problem with them isn't really the sites themselves. A lot of those sites, especially Hazelstar for example, are really neat, actually. They bring quality to the rp table. And let me tell you, those guys aren't afraid to kill off characters.
Like wow.
They REALLY are not afraid. o.o
I joined up and like, three cats died by my first rp post. And then at the one cat's funeral, her dad was listing in his head all the relatives she would meet in StarClan: his mate, his sibling, his three or four previously killed children.
Their StarClan page has more cats than all four Clans combined. And those were all characters from former members, not just specifically made for StarClan.
I digress.
One of the things that gets to me is the density of some of their heads. I'm not going to name people... I don't think, but they just don't pay attention to what's being said very well.
We got into a discussion about what constitutes "stealing". Apparently the site owner changed the News/Blog page to the catchy name "The Daily Mews".
And then one of the admins was all like "oh noes, she stole that from another site!"
Here's what went down:

ADMIN: the daily mews? thats a stolen idea from another site
Me: she may have gotten permission to use it...
PERSON: Oh..
ADMIN: thats why I wanna talk to her
ADMIN: trust me, sites are MEAN. especially when it comes to ideas like that
Me: it's not that terribly original though. I mean, "mews", "news"...
PERSON: It slows my Mac down when I went on that page..
ADMIN: ive been on 50+ sites, it is...

(SIDE NOTE uh-huh... so, I've been on five times that amount and I've seen a hundred characters named John... is that stolen material too? Come on... "Mews", "News"? It's not THAT original!)

PERSON: Lets hope people don't start reporting the site o-o
Me: Honestly though, it is just the title of the news page. it really doesn't matter. Even if only 1 out of 50 sites call it that. It's not like she stole an actual site or character or something. It's just a name.
ADMIN: you have no idea how vicious people get
Me: um, yes I do actually (seriously, I do... >.<)
ADMIN: you owned a site and nearly lost it 3 times?
(seriously? you let some douchebags get the best of you? ever heard of the BANISH BUTTON? or the REPORT BUTTON!? Or emailing the webs team????)
PERSON: Just drop it until Velvet gets on
Me: I've had my sites viciously attacked, yes. I never had the issue of losing them, no. I also have had my ideas stolen before, as in legitimate original ideas, like a whole new race of supernatural beings where their info paragraph was copied word for word by a former member of mine for their site. And I'm not saying she shouldn't change it, if only so that a bunch of hormonal eleven year olds won't get their panties in a bunch, but it's not actually stealing. That's all.
ADMIN: well im trying to prevent that from happening -4- after all its my job
Me: Yah, I'm agreeing with you.
PERSON: Drop it. You'll both be in trouble if Velvet was to come on to this.
Me: o.O
(for AGREEING?????!!!)

OWNER: Allow me to read through this disagreement really quick.]

Me: there was no disagreement...

OWNER: From my position it is. I will change the name and it is not to be brought up EVER again. Understood?]

(WHY?!)

Do they just... not read what I type or...
Seriously, I was only saying that she didn't steal it. I wasn't arguing. Why do people take shit so personally >.< Disagreeing would be me saying "Oh yah, she totes did not steal, like, she INVENTED it. And people are totes nice. We should just leave it there."
I was just trying to keep the Owner's record clean by adjusting the word choice. The Owner did not steal a name as dumb as "The Daily Mews". No one cares. And if some jackass gets their wedgies on just because she named it that, whatever. All our shoutboxes require people to log in before posting. She can just ban the members. They can't actually do anything, except maybe spam the cbox, but no one even pays attention to that thing. So... who cares?

WHOOOOOOOOOO CAAAAAAAAAARES?

NOBODY!

Exactly.

So I think that is what really gets to me. The density of these people's minds, the idea that healthy relationships = rainbow sunshine let's all get along. No. We are a bunch of random people from a billion walks of life. There will be disagreements. There will be misunderstandings. Don't jump to conclusions just because you didn't bother actually reading what I wrote. That's YOUR fault.
And that's all I'll say about this subject.
