    [​IMG] I can't see what's so great about role-playing. I mean, you make some melodramatic character and you play the character out melodramatically and you brag about it in game and out of game and you pretend to be your melodramatic character and you act all superior to those who aren't as melodramatic as you and yadda yadda yadda.

    People role-play too much. I'm tempted to just clear my head of all things RPG and play some frisbee or football and make fun of geeks who role-play.

    Maybe after Friday, though.

    Has anyone read the original 'The Crow' graphic novel yet?

    Talk about disturbing...I'll never be able to evoke the sense of horror and despair present in that work with my writing.

    I'm so bored. The only thing I can do at the moment is play guitar or study. Both get very boring.

    I want to just sleep, but its too hot.

    Anyone have any ideas how to handle the stress of not being able to run a great new game on their computer that should be able to run? Alcohol or other "relaxants" not included cause I'm a little broke from buying my new game THAT I CANT RUN :eek: :mad: :confused: I really don't want to start biting my nails but it's starting to look like a valid option.

    LKD, I think the best thing you could do *is* to date this woman. I'm a bit disturbed of how it could come to this, pal. And even more disturbed why you wouldn't search for something more pleasing. But I'm not standing in your shoes so that was easily said.
    I'm quite positive on feminism, but this is out of control. Why would you allow her to have a boyfriend and not thinking of dating a woman?

    Different thing. I've been drinking yesterday. Not that much, but seemingly enough to get the nasty dwarves inside my head to work on the braindamage, using their hammers on every nerve. AND there was this man on the other side of the wall with a huge powerful drill. Good morning, Nuhn!

    Writing to really fast and meaningless punk music is really good for your speed and really bad for your spelling and grammar.

    YAY! It's Friday which means Color guard and attempting to teach one hundred amazingly complex baton manuvers that I know they'll never fully grasp. It also means that my school's play is on tonight and that after that all my guy friends are seeing Matrix Revolutions for the 2nd and even 3rd times. Yes, everyone in my town is obsessed with the Matrix. As for me, I still haven't seen the 2nd one but I really liked the first. To me it was kind of like those books they make you read in English that you sit there thinking "Wow, R.A. Salvatore is so much better, why am I wasting my time on this?" but then get all caught up in the symbolism and wording and just plain analyzing it. To me, the Matrix simply doesn't compare with my classic favorite movies but I love watching it because it oozes with symbolism and I like figuring out how they do the special effects (I want to be a movie director.) So that's why I like the first one and why I'm going to see the others this weekend. (That and as previously mentioned, all of my friends are completely obsessed with it.)

    On a down note, I can't focus on my writing to save my life. Arabwel, don't feel bad because I've only got 6,904 words done on my book. (How did people in your class write 50,000 words in 5 days??? SERIOUSLY?! *wince*)

    No more classes for nearly 3 whole months! :D
    Only 21 hours of exams :(
    And then after that, no more geography ever again!

    Oh, and I saw the 3rd Matrix last night. Some things in it really didn't fit together right. And the first half made no sense at all to me, but the big battle sense was good. I'd probably give it a 6 out of 10.

    [​IMG] Dragonfly - I've had four games that should have work on my computers and haven't.

    However if I manage to get 5oo or so pounds by november I will be able to buy a new computer with double RAM for free and it shall erase the worries of games failing to work - but I want to keep Esion and Odessy as well ^_^

    Oaz - if that is what you think of roleplaying then perhaps you do not understand it fully ;)

    *grumble*

    So suddenly I'm not cool or smart or accepted because I don't see what's so fun about pretending to be an elf or an assassin? Well, whatever. The whole idea of roleplaying recently seems rather frivolous. But I guess it's the "intellectual" thing to do. After all, only |33t jerks powergame.

    I need to start playing more Zelda and Mario. Or a good old-fashioned Icewind Dale dungeon crawl. That'd be nice.

    Well, enough non-levity now.

    [​IMG] Oaz, I was only joking, why else would I put ;) at the end of it? :)

    I suppose roleplaying is just an escape. The chance to do things you wouldn't do really and being able to get away with it and be able to laugh about it afterwards with people who were there.

    @DePaara: Date? Why not... If one can date friends for the meeting to be nice (as I've always done), why shouldn't you date girls in your present situation? Well, with no further action, of course. Heh, I probably sound like a priest now, but you're still bound by the vows and there's also that other girl (not guilty of your problems and possible casualty) that needs to know you're married and hoping for your wife to change her mind. Heh, should be all right if you don't do anything you consider wrong and will possibly regret in future.

    Coffee! Maxwell is so bitter and strong. Quite nice it would be, were it not for some slight note I can't really identify, which however bugs me a great deal. With foam, of course. My mother wanted something special to wash down painkillers for her headache (no, she's not the like of me - that was a normal headache ;) ), so she got espresso poured over instant cappuccino powder and some cocoa powder. Cream foam over it and it was all ready. Good with chocolate gateau.

    An update for those who probably don't care, my NaNo story is up to 10 978 words, and I'm kinda hoping it will gain a thousand or so more by the time I log off tonight.
