This week's Changeling log

Well, I ran Changeling again tonight. Josh started playing, so we spent some time introducing his character. He's a nocker, should be good fun. He has no rememberance, and this was the first time he'd seen other changelings. They had a party to welcome him into their fun little freehold. Paul's new character spent the day wooing and then banging a satyr, which I assume was a good time. Savannah had been kidnapped by the Hunters. One of them snuck into the freehold to try to talk to Belinda, but she had Vita's character with her they met, and eventually the hunter's questions annoyed her and she ordered Vita to kill her. He didn't manage it, and then he tried to chase her, Paul, who had shown up just in time for the end of the party, tried to shoot her and missed. She escaped to her fellow hunters to try and decide what to do with their captive.

Blog changes!

So, I'm messing with my blog. As you can see, it's green instead of pink now. Also, I think it's easier to post if you want to now. You should be able to do so without having an account. *crosses fingers* And so people should post, it'll make me happy. ^_~

Turning corners

So, before the making out with the dude in the airport, I was all settled and satisfied with The Plan, and I think I'm finally moving back in that direction. For anyone who isn't familiar with The Plan, it involves me moving to Virginia after I graduate, living with my super cool Aunt Vicky, paying off my college debts, writing a book or two, then going on a road trip across the country, then getting a house and two dogs and a cat. Now, there isn't much room in The Plan for a relationship, at least for a while, anyway, I mean I can't exactly have some guy moving into my Aunt's house with me. And that is The Plan's cornerstone. So, I'm resigned to being alone for the next couple of years. I was okay with this till I realized how much I missed things like kissing and someone making me feel pretty and special. Then there was the airport incident. But I think I'm over it now, I've gone through my withdrawel and I think I'm not likely to get another dose of such things for quite some time. And dreaming about a perfectly feng shui-ed home with pretty wallpaper and a piano and a flat screen tv won't invite that insiduous bastard hope back into my heart where it can eat away at me like the tapeworm that it is. And I'm a Taurus, I'm supposed to be concerned with material things.

Today was pretty decent, overall. Got up, did pretty well at the whole Chaucer reality pilgrimage thing, fiction writing lasted all of five minutes, skipped poetry, feature writing was silly, but not bad, got a 4/5 on my news quiz today, highest score yet, then I went to work, then Elisha and I played some frisbee. Now I'm off to shower, then I'll write some before bed.

Time flies when I'm having fun...

Where did today go? I didn't get nearly everything accomplished that I wanted to. I did finish my personality profile, write some on my story for advanced fiction, go for a run, watch a lot of Angel and some Buffy, and play GURPS... So I suppose the day wasn't wasted or anything, overall a very good day, really, but it just seems it went by way too fast.

I have a headache again, that's one every night since last Wednesday, which has sucked. I'm tired, and I have to be up in six hours, and I still need to do some crunches and clear off the mess that is my bed.

Ugh.. Goodnight, world. I'm off to get some much needed sleep... and tomorrow is Tuesday.

My glorious return to Bradford

I made a triple batch of chocolate chip cookies today. That's a whole lot of cookies. I had lunch with my parents and grandparents, then headed out. I stopped on the way to visit with my mom's uncle Bob and his wife Marian. It was very nice, they gave me chicken noodle soup, apple pie with ice cream, and a cocktail. Then I got back to Bradford, unpacked stuff, and shared the cookies I brought back with me.

Paul ran Buffy tonight, and I decapitated a vampire, which is always fun, then we preformed a ceremony to get the slayer to dream about past slayers. She didn't much enjoy it and is currently pissed at the rest of the party. I spent a good portion of the evening giving Jeff a shoulder rub, then once we were done I gave Vita a backrub using my handy new massage lotion. I still owe Savannah a backrub.

I brought back a box full of old things that I've started writing. I'm looking forward to going through them, it should be amusing. Hopefully, between my box and the stuff on my computer and some work I'll have enough of something to hand in for fiction writing on Thursday.

Weddings and board games

My father woke me up entirely too early this morning. But I did get pancakes, and my mom makes the best pancakes in the world. Then I went to a quilt show with my mom, grandma, and cousin Anita. Got back from that, did some dishes, got ready for wedding. Went to wedding. Stood at the guest book for about ten minutes, there were not very many people there at all, it was a tiny wedding.

Then on to the reception, and we got there an hour before the place opened, so we got to hang out in the parking lot, which was not great fun. Then we finally got inside and had to wait around some more before anything started happening. Eventually got food, went through wedding crap like all of the dances and the toast and the bouquet tossing and the cake, then we did some fun *cough* dancing. I sat out the macarena. But I did do the chicken dance, the electric slide and the YMCA. I did the polka with my mom and danced a couple of times with my dad. Overall, the recpetion was insanely boring. But at least it wasn't that long.

Then we came back home, had some tea, and then played some trivial pursuit, me and Matt vrs Anita and her boyfriend Keith. Matt and I kicked ass. Then we broke out the pictionary when Ian and Tim joined us. Matt and I won the first game, then we broke into two groups of three, Ian, Tim, and Matt vrs Anita, Keith, and me. We weren't really playing, just rolling the d6 to see which category we would do and treating them all as all plays. It was great fun. I think we started around nine, and it's well after one now, and we just got done. I like board games.

Yesterday, Betsy brought Matt home, and the two of us hung out here for a while, then went to Grove City, where we stopped at Perkins for pie and tea. We had some fun conversations, we decided that threesomes are great ideas, but it would be really weird to lose your virginity to two people at the same time. Betsy thinks it would be hilarious if I did, since I'm the last one in our group of friends in high school to lose my virginity, I should find some creative way. However, I think some of my other friends' heads would explode. Which also might be funny.

I'm really tired, and I've been playing pictionary for somewhere around three hours. My brain is quickly losing all ablitiy for rational thought. I'm going to bed. I'm hoping to get out of here around one or two tomorrow afternoon, we'll see how that goes.

My drive home

Well, I'm home. No one is in the house, since my mother took my grandmother to pick up her car. The drive took a little less than two and a half hours, and it was really not bad at all. It's a beautiful day, and I love fall, it makes me happy, and I got to turn my radio up as loud as I wanted and sing along with happy oldies music. I got my new registration for my car and that's all taken care of, and when my mom gets here I get to spend quality time with her! All is well in Jamie Land. ^_^

Home..

I have a horrid headache and overall feel rather crap, so if there are mistakes in this I will come back and fix them later.

Just got back from our first session of d20 modern. We're kinda a FBI team, only we don't have badges... we busted up an airport, essentially. It wasn't that bad, though I did have this headache since before we started, and people were really waaaay to loud. And I have to say, if I'm going to play a modern game, I think GURPS is the superior system.

Heading home in the morning, will get to spend most of tomorrow with my mother, which rocks. However, I'm missing Vampire and Mage this weekend, which really really sucks since they are pretty much my favorite games. Though I do love Buffy, and our Firefly GURPS campaign is fun too. I admit it, I'm just a real big geek and I love gaming.

Still have not heard from Jay, don't know if he got my email, probably not, I wish he didn't suck at distance communicating.

I'll be back on Sunday, in time for Buffy, and I'll update with fun details from my weekend home.

Changeling log

So, last night I ran Changeling. I'm running a pretty much unseelie campaign, though it slowly seems to be shifting over to seelie. Paul was playing a childling redcap, but he's switching to a wilder Eshu for the next session (he's going to be seelie), Adam is a seelie troll, Hilary is a boggin, Savannah is a sluagh, and Vita is a sidhe.

Our general background is a tiny town in Ireland, where the Countess Belinda restored a freehold about six years ago. While she was restoring it, she was working with the love of her life, who was also a sidhe. The pair were attacked by a monster, and Belinda's lover was slain. She took the little boy with no memory of who he had been and shut him in the freehold. Until last night, when Ariadne, a seelie sluagh and Belinda's 'sister' (they share mortal parents) and David, a seelie pooka, used Vita to lure Belinda to the freehold, where they, with a lot of help from Adam's troll, his wife, Paul's redcap, and Vita, destroyed the boy and the monster that he had been creating and fueling with his nightmares.

In other fun news in the town, Savannah and Hilary both have fun guests staying in their houses. Hilary's is her beautiful, crazy Aunt Angela, who stole Hilary's bedroom then swiftly got a job as the school art teacher. According to their family in the states, Angela has been under a lot of stress. When Hilary told her that she wished she would get better soon, she just laughed hysterically. Savannah's guest is a big, scarred, tough-looking guy who told Savannah that he knew she wasn't human and then just smiled at her. She was quite upset.

Yet another fun note, Vita's character hates Savannah's, because she stole his chance to advance in the court.

I love my sisters!

Well, just so you know, life is not all bad, and that wasn't what I was saying. I was frustrated, so I ranted. I felt better when I was done.

I just want to thank my sisters, who are the very best, and who consist of (first and always) Betsy, Savannah, and Elisha. I love you guys! And you know it! *hugs and kisses*

Ranting fun

Okay, people keep asking what is wrong, so here it is, in full.

First off, I'm lonely. And I'm tired of it. I'm not looking for the love of my life, I just want someone to cuddle with. And I'm tired of hearing the platitudes that my friends spout all the time. I'm not going to find someone when I least expect it, I have been least expecting it for over a year. So stop telling me that.

Also, I'm slowly getting kinda pissed at the universe over the whole alone thing. I don't know why no one wants me, I am not completely unattractive, I'm smart, I have a good sense of humor, I'm easygoing, I'd be a good fucking girlfriend or cuddle buddy. But by the time I get to know a guy enough that I would be comfortable with such a thing, I've become de-genderized in his world. I'm some kind of freak girl/thing who is useless and cannot even give out proper fashion advise. All of my female or gay friends tell me that they would date me if they were interested in girls. Apparently I have to be a lesbian if I want to ever make out with someone again. Sadly, I just don't see that working. Ugh.

Then, there is the whole Jay might be bisexual thing. He's my best friend and he's at a weird floaty point in his life, and I find out about it in a paragraph long email, then I try to call, and he's hanging out with a girl. Is this "the" girl who is making him doubt his sexuality, or just some random female friend? I don't want to intrude, so I promptly make an awkward escape, and he's not answering my emails.

Also, I'm going home this weekend and I don't want to drive there alone and I'm going to have to because no one who has been there before can come with me and everyone else apparently thinks my home is a house of terror or something.

On top of that, I don't feel well, I have assloads of homework that I am just not doing because I just don't fucking want to, and when I do it my computer betrays me, I don't know what I'm doing running Changeling and I don't think anyone is having fun, and I'm missing my favorite game this week to go home and go to a wedding that I will most likely not have fun at because it is my father's side of the family and sadly, they are rather lacking in the fun or the closeness that would allow me to have fun just by being near them.

First Post

Well, I have created a blog. Woot and go me. I'll probably be posting crap that no one is interested in, but it'll be a solid good time.
