Because my days off are very spaced out and rarely consecutive, I try to fit as much stuff into each day. When plans fall through it sucks to the Nth degree because not only is it a day wasted, it could be the only solid 'day' for seven days. Luckily that only happens rarely and I understand it when it does happen but it still sucks.
So Friday sucked because I was going to D&D it up with Dave and Gretta but that got canceled. I played BOTS and bitched to Samantha about it as I sent texts out to a bunch of people (even going to my old phone and calling people I haven’t talked to in a while). Once Chris got online at 8 I just played BOTS with him which was pretty fun though.
Saturday came and I worked 8 hours making salads and such at work. When I got home I called a friend from work to see when he could hang out sunday to which he said 2:30ish. Immediately I knew to maximize my time tomorrow I should do something till way late at night, sleep till 1pmish, hang out with friend and then find other friends to hang out with at night. I then got a call from Dave asking if I could drop off some reading material for him. We talked about his crappy paladin which he made into a decent cleric. Was a good time considering I didn't have any plans when I got home at 8pm when I got home but ended up hanging out for hours.
Sunday rolls around and I wake up near noon-ish and begin cleaning the house some more and make some breakfastlunch. My buddy from work actually owns a house 8 houses down from mine and it is a very classy dig. Lots of stuff but not cluttered, even with a 2 year old throwing his toys everywhere. He offered me a variety of beers and we walked his dog to this park I didn't know we had around here. Now I know where the opossums come from! He suggests that Thailand is too hot and that if I wanted to go to Japan, his wife (who is Japanese) might have connections but he also talked about selling used furniture so who knows if he was shooting the shit or making plans.
Once that was done I caught Adam Fox online and headed to his place bringing with me some Chicago style pizza. Lots of pizza but there turned out to be lots of pizza so all was good. If people know that there is a 'thing' happening, they should bring something to the event other than themselves. In the cabin dynasty I think some people brought stuff but it was only a few who regularly brought drinks but then again we were all still mostly broke ass kids so *shrug*. I saw Scott, Morgo, Fred, Fred's quiet woman, Chris Miles, and of course Adam. After a couple hours I headed over to Dave who made us sit on some cold stone benches where I died of hypothermia and my ghost came home to type this up.
I rolled up a wizard with was able to cast: Jump, Spider-walking, expeditious retreat, and grease(which sucked). He was named "Peter Parker" and I fought Dave's cleric. I used the spells and a Quall's feather tree token to create a situation where my wizard had all the advantage against Dave's non-ranged-using-dwarf. The best the dwarf could do was run away behind the tree Peter made :/ It was not a proud moment for his character. That's what a good wizard does. Make the only option for the other character to look dumb and ruin his day. (Not too hard when Dave's armor makes him only able to run 15 feet and the wizard could move sixty, shoot, move sixty, shoot).
ACTION PACKED! Friday sucked but Saturday and Sunday made up for it. I get my Record of Lodoss War back on Thursday!!!! I WILL WATCH SOME THEN. but the music makes me super depressed so I'll have to find someone to watch it with me. I also will send for a passport Thursday. It will be a busy day.
I am kind of disappointed in this writing. It's simply a retelling of what happened and not what I was thinking. Next time I will add more taste to an otherwise meaty post. Actually, and Sam made me think of this, I am not posting to the internet. I am posting to Chris who lives too far to yell at so he might read this and know what I'm up to. A lot of the same buddy! A lot of the same.
