Hey all. Been a bit since i last posted. settling in and taking care of all the little things has been almost as tiring as moving in the first place!

But i am better now. :)

Work has been slow the last couple of weeks though, giving me time to rest a bit and work on things on the new homefront. I have been hanging out some with the guys down at the

Yo! Voz de Fuego in da hizzzzzz

Well, I have been going about globe trotting and I have finally settled in sunny California. San Jose, to be exact (aka Shark City). I am engaged to a lovely woman named Kristina, and we shall be wed at the end of the year. I work as a copy/editor at a marketing/advertising agency named Purematter (www.purematter.com), where I get paid a decent amount of money.

On the gaming front, I am just started running a game of Changeling: The Lost after running a year and half stint of Exalted (never again will I run that game). My hair is now short, and I have few more tattoos. And that is it.

what i find so amusing about this comment is how i explained my occupation as a copy/editor ... and the body of text includes a gross grammatical error. Rock.

Yes...i always thought it was pronounced 'hizzy', not hizzzz. :D

Sounds like you have it going on, Vos. We both seem to have serious SO's, good jobs, new homes...what the hell is all that about!?

Although i have long hair now. Working in a shop with no clothing restriction is quite liberating. We always seem to flop things with each other. East coast, west coast. You go to crunchy games like D20 and Exalted, i now lean towards indie games with 8 pages of rules. You have short hair, i now have long hair. You work in a corp that probably serves the man oppressing the people and eating babies, i build custom cabinets and counters for a lot of families where i listen to rock music and wear ratty jeans and t-shirts and stare out of the shop doors that hang open half the time.

It's Crazy Yo!

I still have a dream of creating a game that utilizes d12s.

As for crunch and fluff in games, it really depends on my mindset. I mean, Savage Worlds is awesome ... but then again I dream of Weapons of the Gods sometimes. Oh, and Nobilis (the best game of all time) is coming out with a third edition this year! I still miss gaming with you, as you were one of the best gamers I have ever had the pleasure of meeting.

Oh, are you still a Raiders fan? I live like hella close to that team, and i have many stories about their insane fans.

But yeah, it is sorta weird that you are the iconoclast and I am the square. Who woulda thunk it.

I've been meaning to stop by there, but really... being a girl in a gaming store has always been iffy.

Trust me on this.

Yeah, i know all about the pre-pubescent 30-year olds that stare at women in game stores. Even though most of them wouldn't know what to do with a women if they even got lucky. It is half the reason why i generally avoid game stores. Many gamers lack serious social skills. It can be scary sometimes.

But this new store is pretty cool. I've already seen a couple women hanging out in the shop. if you like we can go at the same time someday, so you at least have someone to talk to or block for you, if need be. I might even be able to get Kat to go, as well.

[thatwouldbe_me]

But, but...that would require we meet. IN PERSON! LOL

[ashenbard]

That is true...but it was bound to happen sooner or later. :D
