State of the Union
Yes, I know I haven't said anything in a long time. Been meaning to post things, but been distracted, busy, and distracted. This here is an update on my life.
There are friends I have lost touch with, and can't seem to get back in contact with. Blame the hour for being vague. Instead, I'm spending more and more time online, socializing with other computer RPG geeks who also have an underdeveloped IRL social life. It's like group therapy, except we're elves and I can throw fireballs.
I had work. It was brief, it wasn't great pay. It was easy to deal with and I enjoyed the work, I really did find it relaxing and fun. Unfortunately, it's closing and I need to find a new job soon to help pay for Rent. For those curious on my last job: http://dreamdinners.com/
I've got my D&D games to entertain me still. My Long-Running Epic-Scale game is taking a two-month pause while we rework characters (who in RP-style growth ended up REAL fucked up as far as stats and numbers.) We're playing an Apocalyptic game for a bit using the Shadowrun system before we get back into the Big Finale. I have to rework my character and figure out what he's been doing for the last, what was it, ten years? Besides going insane and trying to overthrow the kingdom, and losing his clerical powers. My other D&D game's going well, while the one that I run is on Hiatus because we keep running out of PLAYERS. Damnit, they need to ditch their social lives like I do.
I've been playing SPORE!. It's a lot of fun, but it really isn't as awesome as it should be. There's this... intermediary phase that is simplistic enough to be fun, but not in depth enough to be engaging. It makes a great intermediary phase, but the true potential of it is... lost.
My Warcraft guild is still fallen apart, not raiding, trying to raid anyway. I've given up on it, actually.. But I check in regularly. I bother them, throw rocks at them, and level my alt. If they tell me there's a raid ready, I'll bring myself in, crank up the DKP and see what happens... Though our last few failed raids are depressing.
School... School eats my time up too. When I'm not burning it away with games, my time is spent going to school or studying for it. I hate one class, am unimpressed by another, and am mildly interested (and mildly frustrated) by a third class.
That's my life. Needing a new job, playing too many games, and trying to focus on school. How is this any different than usual?
