Something that makes my eye twitch

There is something that goes on all the time in the SCA that really just makes my eye twitch. I know this doesn't bother anyone else because I've seen about half my friends in the SCA do it. This little pet peeve of mine always pops it's ugly head about around April and dies down after August.

( What is it? )

Things that bring me down, fast

I was fooling around on LJ rather than sewing (like normal. I need to do one more roundel on the sleeves but I need to go to the store and get more gold cord.) when I went to look at my user info. I use my profile a lot as a short cut to my friends' pages at work anymore since I can't actually see my friends page at work. (The really blocked the weirdest stuff, honestly...)

Anyway, I was looking at my old LJ friend's user map that was going around last year and I added to my profile. Well, I clicked on one of the pink dots to find out it was ladyrowansplace. I didn't know her well at all but it still got me off my giggly "OMG! Chocolate!" high I was on. It didn't help that it's been almost exactly six months.

Now that I'm no longer hyper, I should give a bunch of updates. I detest the embroidery software. I want to use Adobe Photoshop to edit the image, which I have the CD for but the laptop doesn't have a CD-ROM. Using paint is just made of fail. Really. I just want to make the lines of the unicornate hippocampus thicker, which, in photoshop is super easy. In paint? no. It's just not. And when I transfer it to the embroidery software it looses lines. So, rather than a full loop in his tail, I get a C. Grr...
