My day started off...
Uh. *cough, cough*You see, being the generally socially awkward person I am, it took a great deal of self control not to freak out when this happened...
Okay. So I'd just logged in, blah blah blah, and was on my third-favourite spaceship in the world (probably fourth, actually. The first three ones I made up in my head over the span of my life... and they rock!). Then, suddenly, I saw a scary bubble pop up by the friend button. You know? A friend request?
The actual penguin who'd asked me was waddling about the Millennium Falcon happily, probably quite confident and not at all freaking out like I was.
What was I supposed to do?
For a moment I thought about actually saying yes, but decided that it might be better to pretend that I was still loading until the penguin went away.
Thankfully they did, and eventually the friend request disappeared.
My awkward moment was over.
After that, I headed to infiltrate the Death Star, which was pretty awesome. Although I have to say I prefer the graphics on my Star Wars game (and that's just the DS Complete Saga game... on which the graphics aren't brilliant... the Clone Wars 3DS graphics however are to die for).
Anyway. The puzzle thing I found way too easy. On my Professor Layton DS game (yeah, I'm going into girl gamer mode) there are games like that one, but which are SO hard. This, however? Well, CP is for a range of ages I suppose. Even though, of course, I'm sure a lot of people much younger than me would've found the puzzles deadly too.
After infiltrating the Death Star, which barely took five minutes, I headed to Darth Herbert's room, took a pic...
... and then went to my igloo.
As per usual, I clicked the "Like" button in the corner of the screen, and then walked to my puffle and said "Hey, Azurite, I've got another Like!"
Being the generally socially awkward penguin I am.
Did you know, of the grand 18 Likes I've got, 18 of them are actually from myself?
Ikr? Im, like, RLY popular on CP. Like, EVryone <3's my iggy!
In case you were wondering, I was being sarcastic.
So, while I was writing this, eventually my CP screen timed out. Which it does a lot. The screen came up as I was writing the Death Star bit, and when I logged back on again, I had to scribble down this...
"OH MY GOD!
That penguin's request came up again. Just then! As I was logging in!
Holy. Hungarian. Hairballs.
Okay. Well. I just ran to my igloo, since it's my sort of safe-place, but the request followed me. I thought about declining... however, the friend request bubble disappeared. Just as I was about to press the button."
... so, yeah. I'm afraid to leave my igloo now, in case I get bombarded with that same, terrifying friend request.
Seriously. I'm not overreacting or dramatizing this whole thing. It really is kind of scary for me. I don't know what to do when faced with a friend request. Imagine a random stranger walking up to you in the street and saying, "Hey there! Wanna be my friend?"
Except it's a little different. CP friends can look at your profile on CP, any day, every day, go to your igloo... etc. It's really quite terrifying.
Especially, I guess, for a paranoid penguin like me.
So. What will I do now? I'm thinking about just wandering around CP with Azurite... soaking up the grey skies and fervently ignoring people. Especially friend requests.
Ta ta, Tatooineans!
Love, Blue and Azurite, the overly-paranoid penguin and her hard-done-by puffle.
