Rants & Raves of Jasmine’s Fiction

The internet around the world crashed today due to an earthquake in Taiwan that knocked out an internet link station and here I am, stuck for the first time since the MUD server was restored with no way to game.

I am officially depressed.  And I’m getting the shakes.

Wait, it could be the withdrawal symptoms from the hours of addicted gaming that I’ve done for the past 2 MONTHS, in which case; ignore me.  I need therapy.  I can just see myself now in rehab: “hello my name is Maharet, uhm… I meant Jasmine.  I am a MUD addict.”

Haha.  Khayman, upon observing me sneak in game time all throughout the Christmas holidays commented that I have graduated from being a mere addict – to a CONVICT.  He thinks I am so convicted in my addiction that it’s gone waaaaay past devoted/enthusiastic status and into… Well… Conviction.

Congratulate me folks.  Or institutionalise me.  Merentha is now on par with my indescribable foam-at-the-mouth-craving for sugar doughnuts.  Don’t even mention in passing those massive face sized, round doughy deliciousness within earshot of me lest I become a snarling demon.

Actually I’m kinda glad for the break.  The past 2 months have been quite intense.  The amount of drama I get in the game is NOTHING compared to a primetime soap opera; or an Emmy winning reality TV series.

How?  Let me give you the short version:

-         I’ve been happily (mud)married to my 3^rd (mud)husband for the longest time.  That didn’t deter another man from taking an interest in me; and with the very creative use of magic and charm, he made me break vows in order to (mud)marry me.

-         That didn’t last long.  When the aforementioned 3^rd hubby found that I was now on my 4^th hubby, there was a lot of hysterics, numerous threats of death and dismemberment and the short version is I left the 4^th hubby to remarry 3^rd hubby.

-         Shortly after that episode I became a crazed, single minded machine on the quest to elite-ness.  Hubby didn’t like that as I had no time to spend with him.  And again, there were hysterics and tantrums, and that ended up with me divorcing his unreasonable rear for the 2^nd time.

-         I started running with what are now currently my clan members.  Ex hubby got even more jealous but decided to try and make nice to win me back.  Plan worked, we remarried for the 3^rd time.

-         I am divided between loyalty to my clan and loyalty to my hubby.  Clan leader and hubby cannot see eye to eye and more hysterics and death threats ensue.  I decide that I’ve had enough dramatics and opted to stay with the clan.  Hubby and I divorce for the 3^rd time.

-         Ex-hubby recently married an 18 year old child to spite me. 

-         I upped him one.  I married a prince.  That marriage didn’t last long (1 mud day total) because my clan leader went on a murderous rampage when he found out I snuck off.  His royal highness (my 5^th hubby), decided that saving his royal rear was more important than staying married to me.

-         I killed the priest who married the prince and me for being a dumb bastard by trying to attack us 2 seconds after he married us.

-         I attended a friend’s wedding on a boat and at the end of the ceremony the priest (very same one I killed) went “you may now kill the bride”, someone did.

-         The clan hunted down two mass murderers when the dumb fucks attacked our clan leader.  The killings sparked off a mudwide piranha feeding frenzy and we mourned the loss of friends and foes alike.

-         I witnessed the start of another kingdom war when a group of 5 individuals openly declared that they would hunt down and kill every single kingdom member.

Told you it was drama.  I swear to God I cannot make this stuff up.  Although I am suffering massive withdrawals from not gaming for a grand total (as of posting this blog) of 8 hours, I am rather grateful for some respite.  I am kinda looking forward to some sleep at the very least!  J

Happy holidays, Merry Christmas & Happy New Year to one and all!
