You know, I think some April Fool's pranks are okay! Like the silly ones they do on websites or the really good natured kind. But I am LESS okay with someone changing the ENTIRE layout of our entire building and giving us treasure maps to go around it which for the record my brother-in-law did and it's a pain!! There's some weird effects coming in from outside this planet at the moment, although they'll mostly miss the city itself. There'll be a localized temporal storm, but it shouldn't be more than a mild irritation. It looks like it's just going to yank some things around and send them on through. I think Maurice is going to call out sick that day, or if I were him I definitely would. Hey, I kind of want a four-leaf clover. I know that's more last month than this month, but still. If you find one, pass it along. Also, I want to do a cutesy April Fools thing, so don't get too mad! Joanne Wiseman Technician 2nd class Retrspec Incorporated For the remainder of the day all users will have their userpic replaced with a picture of them dressed as their favorite animal. It's pretty harmless as far as pranks go, and it will change back either at midnight or after trying to change the picture twice, prompting an "Are you sure?" message but no further ill effects.

Nice ghosts? You can guarantee that none of them will try to eat me while I sleep?

[livingdeadgirl]

well i mean
guarantee is a strong word in these interesting times
but its extremely unlikely
since for one thing
they dont have digestive systems

[agrizzlysin]

If people can grow horns and move things with their brains, then ghosts can find some way to eat!!!

[livingdeadgirl]

ok fair point
but in general they cant
so dont worry about it
there are plenty of things to worry about that are far more likely to happen
i mean
if you have to worry
obviously its better to avoid worrying too much
you will just wear yourself out!

[agrizzlysin]

How are you not worried half to death all the time though? It feels like everybody texting here has a worry switch that they just turn off whenever they want. I don't know how to do that.

[livingdeadgirl]

its not so much "turning off" the worry
its more like
over time you get accustomed to a higher baseline worry level
and you learn to step back a bit and pick your battles
plus you find people you can confide in about it

[and for the rest, FAKE IT TILL YOU MAKE IT.]

[agrizzlysin]

I don't want to pick any battles.

But I get what you mean. I guess I'm more impatient than I thought.

[livingdeadgirl]

its ok
i know it is a lot to take in all at once
tell you what though
if you ever want someone to talk to about all this
you can pm me anytime
alright? :)
