drama, drama, everywhere!
What is it about the last few weeks?! Have you noticed that everything has been like drama-central lately?! Or is it just me and all the people in my general vicinity? It's amazing. There are people in bad relationships having guns waved at them, people going VERY MUCH bonkers in front of little kids, unfortunate examples of the "what goes around comes around" principle catching up to people, people who can't just say NO to other people and end up getting dragged through all kinds of mud because of it, computer systems breaking / not functioning correctly and sending everyone into a tizzy, and of course, the clincher:
I haven't been able to knit hardly at all lately because my shoulder / arm on my left side is all screwed up. Of course, given my issues and my propensity to think that I'm about to drop dead of something (anything?!) at any given moment, I took the left arm pain & weakness to be obvious signs of a heart attack. I mean, of course it would be! Because I'm 28 years old and mostly pretty healthy, aside from being too fat. So I went to the doctor yesterday, she poked me all over, told me it's all muscular, and is sending me to physical therapy. Crisis averted, as usual. The up-side is that while I didn't get any fun prescriptions like Flexaril or anything, she said there's a good chance the physical therapist will prescribe some massage sessions. Woo hoo! Insurance-covered massage! Well, my not being in any danger of croaking is good too, I guess.
Add to all these scenarios the fact that the MDC (Mouse Death Count - for those new to my blog: I live in an old barn and have a seasonal issue of being over-run with mice. I can't figure out where they get in, so the humane traps unfortunately don't do me any good. I have to use snap traps, and it breaks my heart. Seriously.) is up to 7 just this week alone...and yeah. It's been a long week already, and it's only Wednesday!

I am not laughing. Really I'm not.
Ok, well maybe just a tiny bit. While you had a muscle issue and thought it was a heart attack, I would be having a heart attack and convince myself it was just a muscle issue. :-)
You know where there's drama? Ravelry. I want to leave comments like "You know you girls are all bitches right?" But I can't leave comments like that (even though I'm right) because I'll get in trouble.
It's like a piranha feeding frenzy. Take MagKnits. Used to be an online resource with free patterns. Someone posted to Ravelry that one of their patterns was used but they weren't paid. Chum was thrown into the water. Everyone went apeshit and tore the woman who runs MagKnits a new one.
Granted: people weren't getting paid, people weren't notified whether or not their pattern would be used or not, etc etc. But the chick wasn't ever getting paid to run MagKnits- she was doing it because she liked it.
So after all the hate hate hate thrown at her, she shut down MagKnits like that [snap]. It's her site and she took it down. Which she had every right to do... but all the piranhas starting going apeshit again. How could she take all the patterns down! I might have maybe wanted to someday make one of those patterns! She's acting like a baby!
F-you girls at Ravelry. For real. Justify your actions all you want, I'm sure you were right but it's just another example of Ravelry destroying another person/business.
Granted: if a person can't run a business properly or the way that they claim they will, then they shouldn't run a business. But the way they are torn down comes across as so vicious to me. A feeding frenzy where, once finished, everyone stands up, wipes the blood from their mouths and pat themselves on the back.
(end rant)
