Ramblings of a Disorientated Mind

The ramblings, and occasional sanities, of a 20-something geekess from the UK

Several more things

- Luke doesn’t listen. Ever. Even when you are alone with him, he still talk over you.
- Also Luke related, when I finished ranting to andy on Tues, I found I have a hard lump under my ear. Mum thinkis is a gland. Yeah, and anger gland. [I have a dr's appointment just in case]
- Furthur to conversation on Sat with Lex and Kat, I’m going to attempt to make the outfit designed by Devo [Andy's little bro] for DruidX, and possibly wear it to October’s MCN Expo. [Well, she's being drawn anime style...]
- I’ve finally managed the impossible: I’ve lacerated my leg with my own claws, by accident. It stings when I rub shower gell over [just had a shower, hence why I found it]
- Am I the only one who always reads ‘Cilit’ as ‘Clit’, and thus think ‘Clit Bang’ is amusing?
- Does anyone have any suggestions for a char to CosPlay if I don’t decide to go as me [DruidX]? Any suggestions on costuming in general?
- Can someone add an extra hour to the day?

absense of real update

I could offer y’all a long boring list of why I haven’t updated in a while, but I won’t, since it’ll be long, and, well, boring.

There is a saying: Illegitimi non carborundum. It means ‘Don’t let the barstards grind you down’. It seems, however, I have succumbed.

I have lost my get-up-and-go, my will to achive, my desire. My life seems to be regulated by the clock.

I don’t want to seem whiny [if I am, that's by-the-by], I’m simply trying to explain.

So, if you don’t see me around again for sometime assume I’m still being ground into a fine pink powder.

ps, wouldn’t Jonhy Depp look fantastic as human-form grebo?

Happenings

Last weekend was fun. This week has been fun [in the good way and the sarcastic way].
I bought: dumbells [£15]; a tee-shirt for kat that I’m going to write something on [£6]; a really nice diamond and onxy cross, that I’m considering trying to write a short story about [£14]; a CD for Andy [£8]; and two books, The Eyre Affair by Jasper Fford and Iron Council by China Mieville [£4 - Andy had a £10 gift voucher]. Then in the evening we met up with Kat n Lex and had a fine all time with drink and food and talk.

This week I’ve accepted a perminent job offer from Zelwegier, and had my time wasted by that numbnut Luke [more about that later] and today I stood out in the rain for a half hour nearly at the end of the day while we had a fire thing at work.

Okay, lets get back to that luke thing shall we?
We arrived at andy’s at 1900ish. We started playing at 2030. We played until 2100, when luke decided he didn’t like the World of Darkness rules. Okay, fair enough, but he could have cancled the session, could have told us at the begging of the session so we could have watched a movie instead or even let us play to a conclusion. Asshole. I suspect that he just got board of GMing and hadn’t planned anything. So then we spend untill 2200 trying to chose a new game to play. By non consenting consent [ie no one wanted to make a desion] I am going to GM kat’s new game Aern: Awakenings. What really pisses me off is that Greg suggested Star Wars, then Luke kinda latched on and to everything else we suggested [Call of Cuthulu, Fung Shui, Farscape, Stargate SG1, Changling, Monopoly, DnD, Aern, Toons, Paranoia, the one where everyone's a god] was met with ‘Oh, I heard that’s crap’ or ‘Oh that’s crap I don’t wanna play that one’, and all through he was generating a jedi char. I just got fed up with his baby attitude and said: Right, that’s it. I’m not listening to you any more.
What it boiled down to was Greg saying he had an adventure if we all really wanted to play Star Wars, but if we wanted to play Aern, he was behind me. So we flipped a coin and I won. Though he never did show the coin to me, so I wonder if he rigged it… And when Luke said he didn’t want to play I gave him a flat out ultimatum: If he doesn’t want to play then fine, but if he does and he acts up, he can probably get ready to die from random rocks falling on his head, but I’m not going to put up with his bullshit.
That decided I dragged Andy upstairs bcause everyone else was talking about WoW [Blarg] and I ranted for a while while he found the disk for the 4400. What also gets me is people think I’m being harsh about my telling him I wasn’t listing any more and my ultimatum. I think I was fully justified. He was being an whiny little brat who wanted was acting up to try and get his own way. Well that kinda crap doesn’t work with me.
So, I have like a week to plan my cammpaingn [in more detail at least] and read up/ print out the rules. My first campaign as a GM. Eeek :)
