um.....Wed.
Well, what a nice evening! Pippin and I spent a few hours yesterday eve trying to make foam weaponry (with ok results), and just talking a storm about everything. It's kind of sad-and-neat in a way; Since Arwen left for Sarasota (sniffle) I've been making a Big Effort to Expand 'Chelle's Social Circle, and Get To Know People Better. Just so I'm not left pining away for my would-be sister. As a result, I'm getting to know a lot of people I knew practically nothing of before (Crawley, Trailblazinman, Pippin, SWHNN, Lenora, Amarynthfay and Many Others :D ). So howevermuch I'm missing my dear dear Arwen, it may not be entirely a bad thing as I'm forced (rather emphatically) to connect (or in some cases re-connect) with others :)
We also talked about the Fates of my Players in the VtM game last eve *maniacal giggle* I've got some Great Ideas - Nothing like figuring out a way to cleverly SADISTICALLY and HORRIBLY do Stuff to a death curse (Mayyyyyybe) to really brighten my evening :D I really, really hope that Crawley plays a character similar to Arashii again (someday) in a game I'm *playing* in, instead of running. I'm Loving (LOVING) the intrigue and interplay between all the different personalities in the game. Tam and Dimitri! Lenora and Casey! Casey and New Guy! Arashii and Eva! Arashii, Eva, and Myoko! The Prince and Tam! The Prince and Dimitri! Oooooooh I wanna play!! :P Although I consider myself to be a relatively creative person, this is the first real outlet I've had for it in many moons. Therefore, dear reader, you must pardon me if I wax eloquent about it, and the characters/players thereof.
OOooooooh, AAAAAAnd I turned Pippin on to Anita Blake. boyohboy I can't wait to see how she likes them. Freaking good books; kinda fluffy-with-fangs-and-CUTE-guys sort of vibe. Goddess knows I need some fantasy men in my life ;P and the men/vampires/weres in the Blake novels sure do fit the bill.
Called Arwen yesterday; she's doing alright. She listened to a Very Abbreviated version of My Game, and gave me her approval. Huzzah. She wants to come over during her spring break and play a Minor Character. HUZZAH! My mind is rife with possibilities (starts doing the evil mastermind finger-tapping motion).
On a completely different note, I finished re-reading a great novel by James Alan Gardner. What a great author - his voice is so very unique, and completely embodies the characters he portrays. And THAT, is just plain cool. NOW however, I am on the hunt for a new book to read. I've read the first 10 pages of a half-dozen books, but I haven't settled on my next adventure yet. Maybe I'll revisit Spider Robinson......
