RE: Moments when you feel stupid - g0ne - 03-10-2016
Wanting to send a /tell to someone and accidentally hitting 'Invite to Party'
Sending a /tell to someone and realizing it's not the person you were sending the /tell to.
The second was actually funny once, when I mixed up two similar names and sent a /tell going, '[NAME]!!! *GLOMPS* How are you?', and the other person is 'HAI! I'm great! But I'm not [Name].' I felt like faceplanting on my desk. And then we asked each other how it was going and how was your day and stuffs, so it was all good in the end.
ALL IS WELL THAT ENDS WELL!

Then you should snuggle with Alothia Jr. and take a nice nap. :>

This is very much me on a daily basis. I can't even begin to count the number of times I've set off up the stairs with a task in mind...only to forget what it was by the time I reached the top.Â
I'm not even remotely close to being a mom in any aspect, and I still have this! o.O
But I wonder. Do dads have dada brain issues similar to mommies? Any dadas here that can confirm it?
*stares at Warren* You have grandchildren (yes, I still go by the belief that Warren sama does indeed have grandchildren), you should know!

But the glomps were appreciated I bet! Blonde moments are a fact of my life I really can't escape them! :-D
In-game I think this usually has to do with mis-tells, or sometimes not looking carefully enough at patrons in the Quick Sand :-X
This last week Aya approached a group of three ladies and greeted them as "Madameoiselles and Monsieur" That sort of thing is really embarrassing!

Realizing that you're much more invested in an RP arc/IC relationship/etc. than your RP partner(s). Admitting to yourself that you tend to live vicariously through your characters because, let's face it, real life sucks, and it's all too easy to retreat to a fantasy world for comfort. Acknowledging how pathetic and yes, stupid, this is, and not knowing what to do about it.

Been there, done that. And anyone who doesn't understand that sometimes is lying. I don't care how long you've been RPing...there are still some moments in time where you are just so vested in what is going on...whether it's for escape or simply because the story is so good. Doesn't make you stupid. Makes you human!

He's not very good at snuggle napping...that and I'm still a chicken when it comes to bedsharing and such. If I could get him to sleep on me on the couch, that's one thing. But usually he likes to sleep on his own. Sometimes we manage to get family naps in...but not too often.

When you send something to the wrong channel (MT) and when you go to say "Sorry, MT", you send it to another channel.
So basically, MTing your MT.
This has only happened once and I don't wish for it to happen again.
When you go into a lvl 60 dungeon in your RP gear. Somehow, the item level is just high enough to let your through. Part of the RP gear included the lvl 50 relic weapon.
I made it through the first boss when i realized I was in my RP gear.
When you make a typo and when you go to correct your typo, you make another typo.

I confirm nothing.
That said, the emotional and physiological toll for a woman after birth and in early infancy is incredibly different from the stress and sudden lack of sleep that new dads endure. Of course, moms go through that same process on top of the body chemistry fuckery, so while dad brain exists, it isn't anything compared to a mother's exhaustion.

I wish I had exhaustion as an excuse...but my baby lets me sleep all night and is generally a happy boy. I've just got momma brain.
RE: Moments when you feel stupid - Warren Castille - 03-15-2016
445/450 lore. Not worth running expert. Not worth running 50/60. Already did Vath and Trial daily bonuses. My train of thought: I'LL JUST KILL THORDAN REAL QUICK, GET MY 5 LORE TOMES AND BE CAPPED. I AM A GENIUS.
I'm a genius like Wile E. Coyote, though: I flag into Thordan, and after 17 minutes ("Hey, that's a long time. Weird.") my queue pops. Enter into Thordan. Begin fighting.
"Hey, that's a weird debuff, never seen that one before."
"Hey, that's weird, I don't remember him punching me for 13k before."
"Hey, that's weird, I don't remember him going into his adds phase at 82%."
So we're all dead, and I apologize to my party for queueing Thordan EX when I had no idea what I was doing, and then I sat out for 30 minutes so I could do NM. I spent just about an hour grinding out 5 lore tomes.
Wile E. Coyote. Supergenius.
RE: Moments when you feel stupid - Kellach Woods - 03-15-2016
It was 1 AM and I ask "where in the shit can I get 4 tomes?"
Someone said Alex 1 regular.
I say good.
I then remember I only did it once, was carried through it, it's 1 FUCKING AM and you know what I'm still gonna get my Ifrit pants this week ANYWAY even without the 4 lores.
I played Pokemon until 3 am.
Why am I even up?
RE: Moments when you feel stupid - Sev - 03-23-2016
I'm to attend an Easter family gathering my sister is holding, so I was busy preparing myself for the overnight trip. Getting some files in order, and tunes for the long trip.. So after about an hour of fretting I'd not get everything neatly in order by tomorrow when I supposedly go, I am reminded the gathering isn't until Saturday.
It's Wednesday today.
u.u
I have -totally- lost track of time here. Country towns will do that to ya.

Double whammy this time, stupid AND awkward!
I was visiting the fam for Easter and needed some air, so I decided to take myself down to the main street for a look. It's an unfamiliar area so I wasn't quite sure which way to go.
So, I head down a side street I thought was a through road to the main street and a fellow wanderer was coming the opposite direction though turned around when he saw me. I'm a fast walker so I drew a bit closer while browsing on my phone, though.. They guy enters a house and I soon find the street was a long cul-de-sac and I'd been following behind this poor guy for a couple of minutes. Probably totally creeped him out too. SUPER embarrassing.
Yeah, you bet my eyes were glued to google maps the rest of that walk.
>.<

RE: Moments when you feel stupid - A'mahri - 03-29-2016
So basically, last night I went to watch my father bowl in his little winter league and cheer him on a bit. So we drove over, I hung around for a few hours, took a walk, etc.
Then my stepmother, aunt, and sister come by to watch for a bit as well, and being my sister gets bored super easily, she asked to go home. My stepmom asked if I wanted to come as well, and being a bit bored myself, I tagged along since my father wouldn't be done for the next two hours.
So here's what happened..I walk a bit ahead of everyone, being it was cold and I just wanted to get a new source of warmth for the moment. I just climbed into my dad's car and waited for the rest of my family to come in.
They...walked straight past the vehicle and gave me a funny look.
"Aren't we going home? Where are you guys going?" I asked, quite confused myself..and then hit me.
My dad wouldn't be done with bowling for two more hours and I just casually hopped into his car while the rest of my family went into my aunt's car so she could give us a lift home.
...The bad thing is, this has happened two times before.
