When I hosted that last 300 TBT giveaway, I was originally going to call some of the Christmas songs “sacred Christmas songs”, but I said “songs with the religious meaning of Christmas” to avoid confusion.
 
Going on 2 days now w/o sleep. Can't wait to get that ****ing Klonopin. -.-

Throughout my entire stay on the forums, I noticed a few things not explicitly stated in the Rules and Guidelines or in the rules in other threads that you can get in trouble for doing. Although it makes perfect sense on why you can?t do it, as the staff have their reasons, by not stating it in the rules, it?s injustice to moderate people for doing so. Like what I said last year on my blog, ?if it?s not stated in the rules, then it shouldn?t be a rule?.

I wouldn?t name any specific examples since that is close to talking about others? moderations, and it can be disrespectful to the staff (depending on how I talk about it), but all I can say is that it?s mostly about discussing any form of drama that happened on this site beyond the source of the drama (both time and location). Although I?m allowed to share my life experiences on my blog, I shouldn?t call out anyone, use exact quotes, or allude to specific offenses.
 
Hope I get some shuteye tonight. 3x 1mg K-pins, 4x 50mg Benadryls, and 5-10mg worth of melatonin.

I feel like that falls in to the 'keep things respectful, friendly and a good place for other members ect...' part of the rules. Somewhere it says in the rules (I think) to not promote a hostile environment, do not talk about other members in a negative way and to settle disputes with members via VM or PM. If even after all that there can't be a general agreement or settlement, report their behaviour to a staff member.

I don't have any issue with the way staff run the site. They can't possibly put every single little instance of warning, reportable or punishable behaviour in the rules. If they did that, there would be bound to have a loophole, other go around or new method of harrassment. And, because it isn't specifically stated in the rules, the staff can't do anythin about it until it is in the rules. It really falls under the whole 'be nice don't be a turd ect... category. As members we agree to abide by the rules even (even if at times we don't) and we have to really follow the ect... part. Does this classify as harrassment? Well according to the rules stated it isnt BUT the ect... part makes it.

That may be true, but here’s what I mean:

1. Discussing drama from some threads into other threads (even if you don’t call people out or refer to what they do). Even quoting those who discuss drama from other threads would result in your post get deleted.
2. Discussing past drama.
3. Bringing attention to discussions about this site from other sites.
4. Complaining about how you’re being treated or how the staff operate their business.

Unless if you are breaking the rules that I haven’t mentioned here, none of these are mentioned in the rules. Yet, I could see how they are problematic and why the staff frowns upon these.
 
World Series is over. Nationals have one their first World Series.

Five facts I can name:

1. As of now, only six teams have yet to win the World Series (and only one to make it to the World Series).
2. And only four teams won the World Series once. Combined with the teams that haven’t won a World Series, that’s five from each league.
3. This is the first World Series where nobody won their home game, as the visitor team won every game, regardless of what team is the visitor team.
4. Since Donald Trump was president, the team that comes from a more eastern city has always beaten the team from a western city in the World Series.
5. Every World Series the Astros appeared in, the team from the more eastern city wins the World Series.
 
Yeah, I already predicted the Nationals were going to win the World Series before it even started, so I’m not surprised to be honest.
 
Hopefully, I can see a Mariners vs Brewers World Series next year, or a Padres vs Rangers World Series

Sometimes, video game soundtrack have songs that sound similar to others. Case in Point: The background music in Moo Moo Meadows from Mario Kart Wii (and one of the Retro tracks in Mario Kart 8 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe) sounds a lot like “Jesus bleibet meine Freude” (Jesu, song of joy).
 
So last month began hot, but ended cold. I also checked last night’s weather. Here’s what I can remember:

- The weather is clear. No clouds in the sky.
- The temperature was 32?. That’s when water freezes.
- The humidity is 100%. That would make the cold even colder.

Also, when will I finally see more news about what Pok?mon will be available in Sword and Shield? I only saw four Galarian forms. That’s it.
 
I noticed that people have stopped commenting on my blog. I haven’t received any blog comments in a long time. What happened?
