Sheepish...
So cpip posted another interesting meme, and I took the bait.
1) Comment here, and I'll list five things I associate with you.
2) Post this header in your own journal, and elaborate on the five things I mention.
Rest behind the cut.
Gargoyles
Presumably from the icon. Don't remember where I got it, but I was originally using it on my now long defunct home page. He's even got a name. 8)
Leadership Positions
Leadership positions.. I've held a few, but most were technically virtual, though I don't suppose that makes it too much less valid. I've never considered myself much of a leader, and for the most part have historically tried to stay out of such things. I was going to say that I'm not a half bad teacher, but really that's just another form of leadership isn't it?
MU*
Ahhh MUs... I miss logging in to a MU and RPing with a group like in the old days of RH. I've tried a few other MUs since, but nothing seriously clicked. It's usually either a lack of players in general, or the MUSpace is too large for the player base, so it's hard to find the people who are on. RH was great for that, lots ships with enough rooms to keep things interesting but small enough to feasibly find someone.
Gaming in general
I've been a gamer for a very long time. Board games, and card games as a kid, mostly card games. I remember learning to play crib from my parents and their friends when we'd go camping, I couldn't of been more than 12 or so. My dad used the cards as a way to teach me several math short cuts to boot. I remember getting my hands on a copy of the original D&D book, and a players guide when I was in Jr. High School(I still have them somewhere), and that started my RPG collection. I've still got a large number of RIFTS books, a few Robotech, Shadowrun and a fair number of Vampire and Werewolf books. I've thought of offloading them, but just can't bring myself to do it, even if I'm not likely to use them any time soon.
Water Coolers
...... The Water Cooler is a false god. I laughed over it's melted corpse. 8)
