Damn it.
Well, the cops didn't deter someone from taking "my" table, today. She's camped out there, too; I went to sit elsewhere and wait for her to move, and ten minutes later, it looked like she was going to...... until she got out her computer. I know that behavior. I do that. It's going to be only God knows how long before she gets up.
I tried sitting at the counter where I usually wait, but some lady who looked like she never washed off the eyeliner from last night's date/romp in the bedroom was wearing so much perfume that I could hardly breathe. My allergies have been really bad lately, as is. So now I'm over on a couch, which is probably a really, really bad move. If I'd done as much on Thursday, I would have fallen asleep in the first hour, and I didn't get much more sleep last night than I did Thursday.
The D&D game that Sam is running has gotten interesting lately. My character, who has held the party together for the most part for the past 6 months or so that we've been playing, has finally had a line crossed -- and no one seems to know how to deal with it. Since I started playing her, I've played her as being a little bit crazy when her family are concerned, sacrificing even her happiness for them. Recently, she learned that her older brother, who was kidnapped a while back, is the main bad guy that we're facing. She told her partymembers, because it was kinda important information (and she didn't want them to kill him) and they went and immediately gave the local elite guardsman the information that he needed to make the connection himself.
She flipped out when she found out about this, something which no one seems to have expected despite the fact that I have been playing her as being willing to do anything for her family. Her father, a warlord who has an enormous army at his command right now, is marching over to kick some ass, and she's ready to see him do it.
I don't know how things are going to turn out next game; I know that there's a chance that this character could go the way of Kat, depending on how people handle it. My character was the party peacemaker, and I don't know if there will be anyone there to make peace when she's the one who's on the warpath.
... So the cops left, the woman sitting at "my" table moved over to their table, I moved off of the couch, and a guy who had been sitting nearby immediately took over the couch. :) Cafe musical chairs!
ETA: When I go to listen something on my headphones in a public place, the first thing I do is get it to the volume I'm going to listen to it in, and then I take the headphones out of my ears, and hold them a little ways away, and see if I can hear anything coming out of them. I also check this periodically while I listen.
If the person sitting next to me did that, I would not feel like hitting her. Selfish bitch.
