End of eBay auction, Reviewed
Ugh. Haven't written in a while... just have not really felt the urge to type. I think that's the longest streak that I've gone without writing since I've started again, except for anytime that I've had visitors. While I haven't been writing, I've been watching TV or taking Jazzy outside on her leash because it's been great weather (like 70-80 every day, just perfect), or just... relaxing, basically. Though, the past two days or so have been spent trying to make a new layout. Unfortunately, even though I put alot of work into it, I don't think I will be using it. I haven't even finished it yet, and I already feel like it's a wasted effort, which is the actual problem... I don't think there's anything I can do to it to make it perfect enough for me to want to replace this layout with it. Shame, too... the layout-to-be was pixely and cute and springy. Maybe sometime soon I'll wake up with a cure to fix whatever is plaguing it's incompleteness, but until then, this layout may hang around for another month or so.
My eBay auction for my DAoC account ended last night. I got $385 for it, which isn't bad at all; just a little shy of what that buyout offer had been before they discovered that I didn't have the secret word and dropped their offering price. Strangely enough, the person that was offering the high buyout offer suddenly lost interest when I told him that since he lowered his buyout offer to what everyone else had been offering, and that I thought in all fairness everyone should just bid on the auction like normal and see who gets it that way. It was as if he only wanted it when he had an upper hand (and unfair) advantage... hrm, oh well, his loss really. The person that actually won the auction was really nice and polite, which was a nice surprise. The poor guy had been scammed before when he had bid on a DAoC account before, so he made a few little requests to make sure everything I had in the auction was legit before he sent the money over, which was fine. I got Matt to log in on my chars for him, and when he approved that everything was honest, he sent me the money.
Someone actually tried to scam the login and password from me. A 1/2 hour before the auction ended, someone posing as the auction winner e-mailed me saying that after I received the payment either that night or the next day, to send them the info at that address, since the other e-mail was his business/paypal e-mail... riiiiiight... I got in an e-mail argument with him today, calling him the crock and the mother fucker that he was, and he got fresh with me... so I replied with something snotty and blocked him. People who try to scam honest people, and in truth ruin this world from being a good place, make me sick.
Anyway... I had not really felt like writing. All this week I've been posting nothing but snippets and silly things, just to be updating... Which, of course, was the same time my site was reviewed. I'm happy it was reviewed (first time I've had my site reviewed in many years) and I'm happy I got a pretty good score. The condition of this journal was just bad timing on my part, though. Wasn't a very wordy week, and it showed. I highly respect her opinion, because that is what she saw here, and I have been posting very blog-ish lately. I really don't much care for blogs, either, so it's good influence to stop posting cute little entries that I should have gotten out of my system when I was 16.
I feel dazed.
