Post-break Update
Apr. 13th, 2004 11:16 am"Hey, you clean up pretty nicely."
-My mom, commenting on how I looked for Easter Vigil
"Hey, you clean up good."
-My dad, commenting on how I looked for Easter Day
"Remember that the best relationship is one in which your love for each other exceeds your need for each other."
-Quote of the day, care of Alyce
So, this little break was pretty good. Got home and helped get the house ready to be sold. Our new one, which is being built about 15min away, should be finished mid-to-late May. I cleaned windows and straighted up for a good part of the break.
I took Unicron home with me, as it's only an hour drive south, hoping to get some writing done. Aside from some minor revisions in chapters Zero and One, it didn't happen. I did manage to finish reading the second HP book, though, which wasn't so bad as the movie was... I may have to go watch that movie again, though, as there's a number of things I don't remember being in it, though Zack tells me that Ms. Rowling maintains creative control over the movies.
As was noted above, my parents both thought I 'cleaned up well,' which may be one of the benefits of trying to pull off 'scruffy-looking' all the time. I do need a haircut, though; my hair's getting longer than I like it, again.
Went to Confession on Saturday afternoon, which was good. And stuff.
Contra dancing has moved from Sundays back to Thursdays with the end of Lent, which means I'll be heading out there in a couple day's time. Which is good. I rather wish there was a convenient way for me to talk with Suzannah, particularly about the nature of our relationship, without sounding like an foolish oaf. Or something.
I had more to say, I think...

Oh, right, gaming-type stuff.
Apr. 13th, 2004 12:02 pmI started a game in Icewind Dale, a DnD video game aong similar lines of Baldur's Gate. You start by creating a group of six, mine being Alisandra (ChaoticGood Human Invoker), Miriam (NeutralGood Human Fighter), Jezibelle (NeutralGood Half-Elf Cleric), Sylvie (ChaoticGood Human Thief), Cassandra (LawfulEvil Human Mage) and Elayne (LawfulGood Human Paladin). It's going alright so far, with an average level of 4, though the Monsters seem to have a way of, well, making them die a lot, so I do a lot of pre-emptive Saving, before things like fighting, sleeping, opening a door, or walking down a corridor... I've named my group of six ladies The Furies, cause I'm a MythGeek.
I also have prospects for playing to two honest-to-God actual Pencil-and-Paper RPGs here in the area, run by a guy I met in an LJ-community. The first is a Werewolf game, which could be pretty cool as he wants it to center on the metaphysics behind the Wyld, Weaver, and Wyrm.
The second is a Changeling game, centering on a group of 3rd or 4th graders and their adventures on the playground. Or something. I'm actually looking forward to playing this one more, I think; I'm already talking with one of the other players, and we plan on having her play Fae noble to whom my Changeling has pledged himself, with an oath reminiscent of Bruderschaft's chorus to Forever. OK, it *is* the chorus to Forever, but still...
And aside from my own aspirations to run a WoD2 game next fall, I guess that's about it...
