As some of you may or may not know, Tomala is an avid cosplayer, and she spends most of her free time making costumes and travelling around with various groups and showing herself off.
I was unfortunate enough to run across her while she was wearing her Rand-outfit, and trust me, those pictures are not suitable for this audience.

Why is this so horrible you ask? Well, here are some pictures of her best friends..

If you didn’t believe point 3 below, I hereby bring you some evidence. I flicked through her private, sickening collection the other day, and gathered a few that was appropriate enough for this audience. If you think this is bad, you should (not) have seen what I edited away..

The comments for each picture are her own..

Reposting this with some minor corrections directly from the horse’s mouth so to speak..

1. She collects her boogers and sell them on e-bay
2. Her real father is Rand. (That’s why Greydragon got fired after he banned her from the MOUL forum. Rand didn’t like that.)
3. She likes Japanese midget gay porn
4. Her awesome anime hair is really a wig
5. Her so-called ‘fanclub’ is made of lunatics
6. She is secretly in love with DarK
7. Her uber-mindpower-ray can be deflected using a tinfoil hat
8. She is mortally afraid of armadillos
9. She once ate a goldfish raw because it was looking at her funny
10. If you build it, she will come.

The takeover is complete! My evil plans to overthrow Slackers is working! By lulling her into a false sense of security, Tomala has finally given me access to her blog! Through this, I will expose her and her ilk for what they really are, and she never saw it coming!! MUAHAHAHA!!!

If you have no idea what I’m talking about, check out my blog http://slackerbaby.blogspot.com/ and you shall be enlightened.

DOWN WITH THE OVERLORD!!

So I was reading the MOUL forum and came across as what I thought would be a cute idea:

http://mystonline.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=17197&start=0

An idea involving sword play and warrior guilds. Now I know I’ve gone far out of the way to inform those of you who need to know the proper way to play that this whole Open Source Uru idea is a horrible idea. However, this idea is alright from my point of view. Why? Easy, you should be able to do something in Uru physically what you can do on the MOUL forum verbally. And don’t worry community, swords will only be the start. Virtual vaseline will be next on the list.

Things happen for a reason, I suppose. Some folks may believe in coincidence, but in my experience, there is a connected reason behind why something happens.

Let’s suppose that your father dies of Lymphoma Cancer when you are only 14. Or let’s even say, your father dies of Agent Orange related complications when you are 8. Why does one person get to have more time with their father than another? Should you feel bitter every time Father’s Day rolls around, and you can’t buy your dad a card? The only gift your dad ever gets from you is a bouquet of flowers, and a new coat of carnuba wax on the headstone so it will repel the water and snow for the stormy months. Why do children have to experience a loss of a parent before they are grown? These are very deep questions that don’t necessarily have an answer, really.

So, let’s try a different scenario.

Let’s suppose your child passes away before you do. That’s not the way the circle is supposed to go. So, why does it happen? Every birthday and holiday since their death is marred with heavy sadness, anger, and more sadness. It’s not fair to lose your child, but it happens to people every day. Most of these people find comfort in the Compassionate Friends Support Group, because they all have something in common. Even people who don’t have any children come to these meetings to support their friends. I’ve been to one of these candle lighting ceremonies to celebrate the life of my niece who passed away. I also said a prayer for some dear friends that I know who have lost a child.

No matter if you lose your mother, your father, your sister, your brother, any family member, or even a friend you care deeply about. It’s an extremely hard lesson of life to go through. So, once again, why does it happen?

There’s got to be a reason why. True?
I guess some of us are searching for that answer. Some of us may have part of the answer, and are still searching for the rest of it. And perhaps you are tired of looking for the answer, but vow that this lesson will make you a stronger person. You tell yourself that you will persevere. Life’s too short, and you need to take what you can from that experience, and apply it to your life in a positive way.

For example. If you lose your mother when you are 31, then you have spent 31 years with your mothers guidance. Some people may decide to take the lessons they have learned from their mother while she was alive and apply them to their lives in a positive way. Let’s suppose your mother liked to knit and crochet. You decide to emulate your mother by picking up where she left off. It gives you a sense of peace, and a feeling that your mother is somehow nearby.

But… NOW, you have all these knitted things in your house. What do you do with them??
You could give them to family and friends. You could donate your items to a charity, like the Relay for Life. Helping raise money for Cancer Research. Because that is something that took your dad away from you when you were 14, right? Right.

So, you’ve had the negative experience of your mother passing away, and you’ve turned it into a positive experience by taking your skill and using it to benefit a huge group of people in need.
It makes you feel good to do that, and you are honoring your mother and father at the same time. Huge bonus there, right? Right! This could very well be the connected reason behind the ‘why’. Who knows, but it may sound good to this individual.

I do admit that if all the answers to my questions concerning life’s events were available to me, it would sure make life a whole lot easier to get through. However, I feel the things that are easily attainable in life, aren’t always the most rewarding. Working hard to get what you want is far more rewarding than having what we want just handed to us.

Every one of us has been dealt an unfair hand in life from time to time. And I mean everyone.
We can all relate to hardships. Not a single one of us is unique in that manner.
But, we take from that experience what we will. Whether you choose to make it positive, or negative, it’s all up to the individual. Life can be cruel, and life can be rewarding, too.

But above all else, life goes on.
