In which my brain is consumed by a 300-year-old demi-god
So I've been messing around adding background to one of my characters, and I decided to add a brief section on a contact of hers. It wound up being two pages long. And he is super-cool, and now I really, really, really want to make him. But I seriously should do something that's actually useful. Gaaaaaahhhhhhhh. -
Hair (Oh say can you see my eyes? If you can...)
Mm, sleep, you taste so good ( Read more... ) -
Huh.
So, I realized something interesting today. I was thinking about my characters, and I realized that my favorites - about four - are all really isolated people. Dalmaric lost everything at an early age, and never really learned how to connect with people again. (Yeah, trite, I know, but I was 14, give me a break. And despite his trite origin, he ( Read more... ) -
In which I am a gentleman
I helped a little old lady cross the street today. Two streets, in fact. I didn't think that kind of thing actually happened in real life. She kept saying how she got so scared crossing, with the things in the news and the cars always coming from so many directions. It made me smile a bit. -
If you don't want feminist rage, don't read it.
So, I've been playing Mass Effect 2 some recently, and watching Mike play it (muted) a lot more. And it's a really good game. The mood's rather different from the first game, but it also fixes some of the more irritating things from the first game ( Read more... ) -
visitation and wedding stuff
So my mom came up to visit this past weekend to go wedding-dress shopping, among other things. She brought her friend Liz with her. Liz was kind of my second mom when I was a kid - the mother of my best friend and my sister’s best friend. We spent a lot of time over at her house. *grin. Susan and I haven’t been friends since sixth grade, but ( Read more... ) -
So, I almost had a job yesterday.
It's kind of an entertaining story, actually. (To me, anyway. I'm not sure if it really would be for anyone else. But I am going to share it anyway, because I'm generous like that! *grin.) I got a call about ten-thirty yesterday from someone who said, hey, do you want a long-term sub position? And I went, O_O, uh, YES. But waitohshit I have ( Read more... ) -
organ donation
And not the kind that they play in church, either.
I recently got my New York State driver's license, and I signed up to be an organ donor. I read the fine print before I did, too. Signing up to be an organ donor - in New York state at least - allows whoever to take your entire body for transplant/research purposes. Unless you specify ( Read more... ) -
ramblings on a theme (but not by William Carlos Williams)
So, I'm a little conflicted. On the one hand, I kind of don't want to keep talking about wedding stuff, because I don't want to be boring and annoying, and because I don't want to spend too much time thinking about it and make myself all disappointed again just in case, and because I don't want to make Mike feel all pressured and unhappy. On the ( Read more... ) -
Fuck me.
