Saturdays Are Just One Long Night
Is there a lazier time than a gray Saturday afternoon? I dunno, maybe there is, but right now, it seems like there couldn't possibly be. There are SO many things I should be doing, but here I sit, sorta not really on a MUSH (Emerald Dreams), just typing the randomness that will be this journal entry.
You can see by the time, it's 3 in the afternoon, but I've only been awake since about 1 or so. Typical. Actually, that's pretty early for me on Saturday, but then, I went to bed fairly early last night. 3 AM. I think that's the earliest I've gone to bed all week. I got home from gaming, found out that I'd missed Brand and James, nothing else was going on online, so I went to bed. So far today, I've managed to call my long-lost cousin Sheri to reassure her that I didn't fall off the face of the earth, and I've managed to stay in bed and read - Here Be Dragons by Sharon Kay Penman. Awesome book. I recommend it highly.
Gaming last night. Just, wow. Chris just never ceases to amaze me. I have a hard enough time finding a voice for my one character, but he just comes up with voices for this entire cast of NPCs, it's incredible. I'm excited about this new campaign. I can tell already it's as much about character development and interaction as it is about solving mysteries and catching bad guys. And NO DICE ROLLING! Not to mention that I get to play with three people who are rapidly becoming favorites of mine: Jo (a woman I work with) Chris (her husband) and Jeff (their friend, and mine too). The three of them will hereafter be referred to by some witty nickname that I don't have the brain to think up right now. Or maybe not. I'd almost forgotten how nice it is to actually have friends in the same city as me.
(On a side note, I'm sitting here watching Hollingsworth abuse Max, my cat. This too, is a Saturday ritual. They bug each other continually.)
I've managed to write for 30 minutes and not really reveal much at all, haven't I? I impress myself at times. I'm not in much of a confessional mood today. Maybe I'm still too much into Nancy, my character from last night's game. Nancy's all about walls, and putting up a good front. Ah well, maybe I'll come out with some deep personal revelation later. No promises though.
For now, it's time to go back to bed, I think. I gotta go see what's up with Llewelyn, Joanna and King John. Happy Saturday.
