Since my girlfriend dumped me I am not sure if I should get back into WoW or RPing... granted though I am a lot more active now physically so maybe I should just keep going with things the way they are.
BTW my girlfriend dumped me so.... yeah...

Your girlfriend dumped you? Oh no. I'm so sorry. Post in the rp.

Hmmm... I'd say that it's okay to take it a bit easy for a while, just relax and readjust. I know how it is to lose a girlfriend after a while. Sucks, since your entire schedule is kinda blown apart.
If you're up for it, I think that a wee bit of RP would be good. It's art of a sort, allowing you to express your emotions, while still finite enough to have a resolution and good cutoff point. (Not sure on WoW. It's a bit of a grindfest, and with a new expansion out, just seems like it'd sucker you right in.) Mayhaps just small/slow RPs that could use you? I think that you appearing to help Clicks and me finish Shattered would be nice, especially with our plans, and maybe some posts in Justice. It would be really nice to see you in C'est Noire as well, since right now it's just admins playing RPattycake. Otherwise, though, everything seems to be going okay with me on auto-duty. So, that's my idea. Just RP a little, and if you do play WoW, do so with a timer (and a short one at that.) Getting active is a big thing, so don't give up on it, but if you're comfortable redistributing some of your spare time, you can do a bit of your old stuff, too.

*sigh*
I honestly don't think he should be RPing, he's been trying to get well out of it for years now. Artistic expression would be good, but only if you feel it. His current state is known to me, tis called 'numbness.'
Honestly I think the mindless grind of WoW is a better idea, doesn't require you to think about things.
But best of all would probably be a mindless shooter, like Fallout 3, where you can watch people explode into tiny, satisfying bits. That'll take your mind off things for sure.
Assuming you have Fallout 3.
In the meantime, I'm here to talk anytime you need me. Christ, if I had a cell I'd give you that and you could call me at work for all I care.
Lee probably wouldn't be such a bad idea either, I don't know how often you guys talk, but he comes out with sound advice that is usually objective. (Sometimes coldly objective. *shivers*) And since you both share a similar (is it the same? I'm not good with these things...) faith, you might be able to find some common ground to discuss there to.
...Just because I don't think the bible should be taken to literally, doesn't mean there aren't good lessons in it.

Do something not mindless. Every great creative mind has had his heart broken at some point. You're on the verge of an artistic breakthrough!
i really do feel sorry for your loss i just think the best way to handle it would be to post in the rp

I believe that's where we differ in opinion. I believe the best thing to do is to express one's feelings via art, instead of simply venting vaguely. It allows others to establish a better emotional rapport with you and also allows you to take a look at your situation from an outside, third person view. (Though, to be fair, indeed, other creative pursuits would work just as well as RP. So poetry or drawing or writing a story or... knitting are all fairly even on the list.)
(Actually, there have been six known SDA members of the Pokeschool board line. Three have been administrators. Bulbs is not one of them.)

Oh, ouch. You must still be reeling if mentions like that get you all gloomy. I recommend then a night of crying into a blanket while watching the Weather Channel. Works pretty well. And Pohatu, tinyurl.com/2rfwr . Though I know you're just being facetious. EDIT: I just got ninjaed by a man with a broken heart. I must be slipping.

To be honest, I Urban Dictionaried it before posting, saw maybe six results about "Seventh Day Adventists," tried to fit it into the context, failed (because I overlooked Prime's faith comment), thought, "Nah, that can't be it," and so took the faceesh route.

Ice cream. Seriously.
Then after that go out for a walk and explore. Maybe with a camera. Hopefully the weather is fairly good.
And yeah, do something creative. Or talk to someone. I think I'm officially out of that little depression I had earlier, and it was mostly just talking to a friend who kinda knew the circumstances because she knew the people involved.
Also remember that at our emotional highs and lows are we at our most creative.
Last thing: smile. It releases hormones that'll make you feel a bit better. Science!

I ate a bucket of Ice Cream and watched Eddie Izzard: Dress to Kill....
I waffle on RPing, because as much as I would like to... you guys would just be pissed again when I stopped. WoW, I would have to wait since my roomie is in control of all thing router and modem - the last time I tried to play WoW it lags something fierce. Once he starts playing and sees the lag I should be able to start again once he fixes it. I would have to start all over since I sold my account to DL...
I really don't know how I feel right now, she did stuff with another guy so right now I am just feeling really inadequate...
If you guys don't care that I will prolly just end up leaving RP again eventually I guess I can start doing that again... Give me a list of anything I am still in and need to post and anything that would benefit from having me in it. This effectively means I am taking back control of my characters... so Lee could you give me a rundown on what my characters have been up to?

That's, I think, the only RP you're in that I'm also in right now. Therefore it is the only RP that matters.

No need to feel inadequate. The simple truth is that on a baser level, typically, what guys want is sex, and what girls want is attention (not saying this to be true for all people, but pretty accurate in general.) And some people are willing to violate the standard terms and agreements that normally reign in relationships to get more of those. It's not your fault at all, man, from what I can tell. Just a bad break.
And don't worry about being in and outof RP. I've adjusted for covering for you, so it's not like there'll be another freak out where half the topics die.
Let's see... In the topics, you're in: Justice has resumed movement. We're currently picking through the power-disabling labyrinth. Triannual has moved to a warehouse, and Garth revealed that he's been hunted by these guys for a little while now. Shattered hasn't moved. It's you/Kaz's turn, IIRC, mayhaps even the same as when you left. Summoner Style is presently at a point where the characters are stopping on an island for some magical training (Miko, Clicker's character who is somebody that starts with a vowel), or sparring (Hector and Yoshimitstu.) So, unless you want either of your characters sitting in on the jade magic lesson, I don't think you need to worry about it.
Oh, and C'est Noire is back. I took a few liberties, but basically just matched it up to ORP in a paralell sorta way. (In other words, Sly is a widower and his son is in south America, IIRC.) Right now, we're (Thyra, Terrian, and Sly.) eating and closing in on the factory, where we'll regroup and get set up.

Is anyone else starting to think that this is Pohatler in disguise? Dude, this is totally a Help & Advice topic. I wanted to give this new board a healthy population so people feel more comfortable making new topics. "I am in my new pad, man, making the first tape in my new little home. I've given the landlord a rubber check for three hundred dollars, and now will ensue the long hassle of he and his lawyers trying to throw me out. But in the meantime, man, and until that happens, here we are -- in the STORE! The store, more room to store things than I've ever had before. There is so much space, man, in my dark dingy store, I've got to call my printer right away and have him print up fifty thousand more sheets of music to pile up to the ceiling."
And now comes the incredible long-to-be-wondered-at Horse Badorties miracle pile-up. In what appears to be only the passing of a few moments, the time of a mere afternoon, which flickers and jumps like an underground film, I, Horse Badorties, carry in, one right after another, boxes of sheet music, scattering them around. And then going quickly back out, speeded-up to lightning-flash intensity, I drag in old broken furniture found in the street, a ripped lampshade, a piece of an armchair, a disintegrating mattress. Trip after remarkable trip is made, in a brief interlude of magnificent collecting, whereby piles of grocery bags are brought in, stuffed with shiny new cans of food and cereal boxes. And suddenly, the cans are empty and thrown around and the corn flakes are trampled into the floor, and the cleaned-up store becomes covered with greasy filth-pots, and higher and higher grows the pile, up and up, filling in all the light spaces, growing with every flickering frame, and finally, suddenly, there I am -- Horse Badorties, man, standing in the middle of another piled-up-to-the-ceiling immovable blobs postcards everything, filled-up STORE!
There is hardly room to turn around. How wonderful, man.- William Kotzwinkle, The Fan Man
