@Another Movie Addict:
Proud of you! I know how hard that can be. Not in a sense that I have had the trouble. My sister, however, has social anxiety and a mild case of agoraphobia. To this day, and she is now 27, she has never ordered for herself anywhere. She just can't. And trying to work it in or force her to will only cause damage. I know from witnessing the anguish it can cause. So good job! Good, good job!! Huge step.

@Tuijp:
I totes have to follow your lead. I pay 50% on an Apartment that really belonged/belongs to my now ex-roomie. He just dipped out this past Monday for his new place since our lease is up Oct 31 and he got a good option now. (He's still paying his part til it's over.)

But he like . . . made a mess when he moved out in a rush. Didn't mention he was leaving that day. Didn't tell me anything I just came home to total chaos left for me.

I don't even mind. All I see is I get to do the place how I want to til I leave! Lots of space for a little while. It's great I am overjoyed. No more living with someone else. Oct 1st I leave for my new apartment.

He even left a 55"-60" TV for me to take to my new place since he has no room. (It's still his but on like a loan/hold.)

@Totalanimefan:
Awesome. Awesome. Awesome. It's so hard sometimes to focus on ourselves and it's really one of the most important tasks around. I find people forget sometimes that love takes work, we get to where we think it's just meant to be unconditional. Nupe! The more effort we give in treating it as something that needs our attention the better it goes. I'm so glad for you. Keep it up!

I want you to tell us what you are recently proud of.
Tell us something awesome that just happened for or to you.
Show off or boast and drown us in that positivity!

Posted in Why did you choose your username? Posted 6 years ago
I have had this username a very long, long time. Jack Off Jill was a local Florida band back then, and my ex's sister was pals with them. I do believe they wanted her as their drummer for a while, but the style never fit my ex's sister. They have a song 'Lollirot'.

Lollirot: "Your inner nastiness, particularly, the naughty part of your psyche you cover up with a facade of normalcy."

I have rarely strayed from it. Time to time you may find me go by The Rotting Queen instead, but a lot of side titles were given to me by past communities I was part of. :)
Posted in Post your Rants Posted 6 years ago
A few years ago I came back to Second Life (2014). I did so because there is a very wide array of Roleplay communities, beautifully built Sims where you immerse in the character(s). I ended up in a Sim generally well known for having been going downhill; but at the time it was still very enjoyable. I became a very engrained player and character in the community. My OC was not only a slow build-up of ‘evil’, she was unique in many aspects. In the end, she became the partner of a known-cannibal. Mother of his child. As well, she was the leader of a street gang unlike the rest. A group bent on the stirring of chaos as a reminder that no one had control of their own lives while still carrying a focus on building on Empire through funding that came from prostitutes and drugs. Characters who did not act out to prove themselves as ‘crazier than the other crazies’. They maintained an outward stability. They could be doctors, lawyers, etc. But inwardly, inside? They were cruel, bad people. And she was the murderess with a message always.

I loved my character. I loved what she could do to people on an OOC level through my writing. I loved that my writing itself was openly admired. It felt good as a form of artistic outlet and a removal from the constant hardship that has been my RL the last few years.

The rant . . . Is against people. Toxic people are so drawn to RP as a means to try and ‘live’ a life they can’t. Don’t have friends RL? Bet you can be a little shit online and have them. Don’t have the ability to land a relationship RL? Well you can always have a fake one online through your character and then cause nothing but drama when you try to control the person behind the OC. And God forbid anyone like anyone else if they disagree on one thing in RP. They are going to talk about you, lie about you, exaggerate about you. . .

Which, usually, I can ignore. That sort of thing rarely bothers me past the moment I hear it. Within 5-10 minutes after? I have already calmed down, brushed it off. But it turns out the person I counted my best friend was going to be the most detrimental thing to me. Not only was she constantly angry at everything and everyone, she was vocal about it. She would go into fits, she would say cruel things about the people in question and make demands of those around her to keep those people away from her. No matter if it made everything hard on everyone else. She would rant about her own friends to her other friends so every one of her friends thought she was crazy. Why stay friends with someone she had nothing good to say about? We all thought we were the protective party and her other friends were her problem. She destroyed my storyline, my plots, my character over time. She was unloyal in the friendship, making friends with people who had done wrong to me, while putting others in position where they knew they could not go near anyone she did not like. And then, without being aware of it, I was bitching too. I got to a point where I did talk about her to someone else - someone not meant to be part of that community ever again and who I trusted to hush. Just let me vent.

In the end she cut me off because she heard I had mentioned to one human being something that I actually never did. I had not spoken of the subject she thinks I did. But she deleted me and blocked me. And I made no effort to contact her after. Not on Instagram, Facebook, over the phone. Nothing. I was angry. Furious I became just another of her amusements that grew old and got tossed for having valid feelings. And after a few weeks . . . You see the person different. My eyes are open and while I still love her dearly, I know I am better away from her. But it also drove me to leave behind my RP, my character, and that Sim. I mean, the Sim was dying out for me long before. But this sealed the deal.

And now I never write anymore. I don’t really RP because I miss what I built over a period of YEARS. It’s been stripped, ruined, and I can’t rebuild from it because I would have to make moves in the tale I can’t make without the other persons knowing. And I can’t talk to them. Won’t*.

I resent people. And I miss my outlet. And I am angry at the fact people do these things. Drive you out. Smile to your face then turn around and burn your image down. I am no perfect person in the least. But when I no longer get on with someone? I move on. I am civil if I need to ever interact and past that, I just leave them alone. Why is that hard for others?? And why did she have to turn out this way? I never bond to people. I’m not great at being social, I won’t IM you on my own or give you a call even if you are my best friend. But for her, I did. I always wanted to chatter and laugh with her, RP with her and story build with her. I feared for her RL, constantly. I loved her. (Not like that. As in that soulmate friend.) And now the thought of her just breaks my heart. I had never cared about another person as much as her that was not my partner. And even he was always jealous of her.

I made amends with the other friend who spilled that I had said anything at all about her. We were both in bad places and lashed out. He has lied and admitted to it. Apologized and explained. But there is no fixing it where the damage was done. With other people I used to interact with. The fact they let it happen without coming to me, though. . .They aren’t worth me fixing with. And that makes me mad, too. I’m too old for this shit. It’s been 2-3 months now and it still hits hard. I want to sign on and go to Sim and I just . . . It’s not worth it to. They took it away from me for the tiny few mistakes I did make in the end.

@Elithiya:

We are hiring TIG Welders / Pipe Fitters as well as some General Labor. I guess because it's not an office job they don't take the scheduling as seriously. Sorry 'yall. Your hours are your hours. But the Boss is super giving to people as far as chances. Annoying!

* All the glittery eyes. *

Hello, hello! Actual greetings, what a perk!
A lot of places you go you never hear from nobody.

@Rallaa:
I hate waiting on the mistakes of others. Luckily, Amazon is like 99% likely to take customers side. I'm surprised they didn't also offer you a credit to your account for the hassle!! I often get those, and I never ask.

One of my tasks at work is eCommerce and marketplaces. So, things like eBay and Amazon. We sellers don't get the same 'aware' support team customers do.

They love to do this thing where your ticket sits til like . . . Friday. And then know most places are closed weekends. So they will email Friday asking for more details and you only have 48 hours. So when you get to work Monday they closed your case.

Then you repeat a couple times.

But it's hard to beat what you can find on Amazon.

I'm confused today??

We are hiring at my job. Besides the Boss, I pretty much am on the top. It means a lot of it is handed to me once he selects the resumes he likes.

95% of the people I have called either:
- Did NOT answer.
- Gave a bad phone number, phone off.

I leave a voicemail and . . . no one calls back. For the job they applied for and most likely need? If they leave an email in the resume I write it, too.

I have had one reply to email and it took them over a week. And then they did not show once I set up the interview.

Some people don't show and others come LATE. My dude. That's the first impression of you?! What is wrong with you people?

We hired one person so far. His first day was Monday. HE. CAME. LATE. 45 minutes LATE. Why the Boss did not let him go right then and there . . .

I don't get people. You need work. We call you for what YOU applied for thus would want. Wtf???

Hey! My name is Naomi, better known online as Lollirot.
I find myself on the hunt for an Avatar Community to bond with and call my own again.

I just turned 30 on August 15th. I live in Houston, but am originally from Miami.
I work 40+ hours a week and spend my other free time drawing.
I desperately miss RP so I am hoping there is a bit of that around here?

You know. And another avenue for doodles and sketches and all the art. :frizzhappy:
