I am the Dungeon Master
Nerdy musings to follow, read at your own peril.
Sunday, I DMed my first D&D game. I've only been playing for five months, but after our first campaign, our DM asked for someone to try so he could play. And because I'm a masochist, I volunteered to run a one-shot.
I was absolutely terrified that I'd screw up something or everyone would think I was ( Read more... ) -
Growing up
No one ever tells you there’s that moment when you realized you’ve become a grown-up. I don’t mean signing the mortgage papers, or holding your child; those are important milestones, but they may indicate you’ve become an adult or a parent. I know plenty of adults that aren’t grown-ups. Likewise, I’ve met a few grown-ups that aren’t parents or even ( Read more... ) -
“Fear is the Mind Killer”
I’m sitting, watching some fantastic choreography by Kyle Hanagami. And I’m really getting into it, because I know I can move like that. I love dancing and have been known to just let go and groove. I started doing the arm motions in my chair, moving my feet along to the beat and it occurred to me I would be able to learn it faster if I just got ( Read more... ) -
So, it's a new year...

And again, I'm kinda boned
So I'm in the home stretch of my pregnancy. Heading into the third trimester. And of course, I have to take the 3 hour glucose tolerance test. For those unfamiliar with this brand of torture, you have to go into the test fasting; you get your blood drawn so they have a baseline, then they make you drink this stuff that tastes like carbonated ( Read more... ) -

The iPod from Hell!
Today on the radio, they were asking for suggestions of music to go from the iPod from hell. Thre were some doozies, like Tiny Tim's "Tiptoe through the Tulips" and "You Light Up my Life" by Debbie Boone. And it got me thinking about my own iPod. I know I have stuff on there folks just don't like and don't understand why I have it on my iPod ( ( Read more... )
