Talk about bizarroworld. We just got this application in on the guild's website:

Hello.. this is really weird and I'm not actually apping. Omg this is a long story and it sounds totally stupid and I really want to smack my dad upside the head for asking me to do this.

I play on Moonrunner (alliance- Delicia) and my Dad asked me to get in touch with "Sleeper Cartel" because he was told one of the guild members knew my brother Daniel Trent Dickson (the guildie took over my brother's job years and years ago IRL he thinks), and apparently my dad is trying to get in touch with this person to try to track down some of my brother's writings that were published online. UGH this is awkward can you maybe post a general msg here/ask your guildies if anyone knew my brother and would be willing to email me? I have no idea why my dad is tracking this down now, my brother died in 2004 so perhaps he's wanting those for memory.

If you can't/aren't willing to post please feel free to email me either way so I can let my Dad know.

Thanks,

Delicia

I went ahead and replied to her, even though I couldn't help.

Hi Delicia

Either it's crazy luck, or your dad tracked me down via the post I made on my blogsite when Dan passed away, and then had the misfortune of bouncing all over my blog to happen upon Sleeper Cartel being mentioned. Seeing Dan's name in an application was really kind of jarring. LOL

So yes, you found the right guy, and oddly enough, not only am I a member, but I'm the guild leader. Unfortunately, I don't think I have any of Dan's writings. The only one that I had at any time was one that you guys had out at the funeral. Dan and I had a contest following us both getting fortune cookies with "No Fortune At All" in them, and that prompted us to write a story around that. I believe I gave a copy of my story to your dad so that you could pair it with the one you guys had.

I hadn't realized it's been six years since Dan passed away. I still regret that he and I had lost touch over the years. It ended up making his passing all the more sorrowful for me as I didn't have that chance to get in touch.

I'm sorry I can't help you, but if I do happen to find anything of his, I will most surely send them on to you.

Thanks,

Very cool-strange to see Dan's name show up in that manner. He really was a good guy, and seeing his sister (and dad) reach out like that is a good reminder to not let friends get too distant.

It's...done?

Seven months later, and the bedroom painting is done. Absolutely pathetic.

In the meantime, I'm pissed at myself and Wifey. While I was my usual anal self to make sure the painting didn't look like crap, she dumped on me about all that we still had to get done. "Are you gonna take tomorrow off too??"

I'm pissed at her as neither one of us put our all into getting the house ready in all this time. I'm pissed at myself because she's right, I've still been slacking the last two sessions of getting stuff done.

So, in the mood I'm in, I'm gonna go play WoW. Is that healthy for our relationship? Probably not. Is it better than becoming angrier by talking about it without a controlled tongue? Absolutely.
