Why? Because I can. And the four whole people who read this (I'm being optimistic here) are probably going to slog through just about any drivel I toss at them. This is power. Not *much* power, but fun nevertheless.

So, what to ramble on about now... Hmm. How about: no gaming for me this week, wah! :( I was going to start running a game on Tuesday, but I'm missing 2 of 5 people, which is no good for a first session. My regularly schedule Wednesday wacky Changeling hi-jinx are canned because Sheffield's Gaming King is holding his birthday court that same evening... I'm convinced that he did it on purpose, to prove how much sway he has over the resident geeks by picking the schedule society game night. It certainly can't be a coincidence that his birthday happened to be on the same day. No no. Too *convenient*.

It is funny. Nice guy and all, generally friendly, sometimes a bit aloof (maybe it is cause I don't know him too well), decent sense of humour, etc. Not amazingly gorgeous or anything, though he has somewhat of a 'Westley for the Princess Bride look about him... wears an awful lot of Star Wars t-shirts and has frighteningly long nails. And he really is seen as this sort of local GM Deity.... sure he has been running an kickass Play-by-e-mail/LARP for about ten years in various forms.... but come on! I've seen a lovely little gothling all corseted in to a quite expensive velvet and satin purple and black creation kneel down before him to kiss his hand! O_O Maybe I'm missing something. Also, in the pub on Fridays, if he is there, he is quite often sequestered in a corner with a handful of chosen courtiers discussing recent game events. His girlfriend often complains that too many people try and talking to him about nothing but game, which I can understand to be an annoyance. But anyway, enough on that...

Also, my other Changeling game this week (Elves in Space!)is also canceled, this time for a more acceptable reason.... my GM's grandmother died. The funeral is on Tuesday and she won't be back in time to run, or in the mood too if she is. That is completely understandable, no problem. But, selfish selfish girl that I can be.... what am *I* supposed to do? :o Bored now! Entertain me! I can't wait until classes start again...

On the other hand, somewhere in town, on Saturday night, there is a game being held for the King's pleasure (but not by him. Sort of a present from his subjects: something for him to enjoy, not stress about). Vampire LARP, something about a Nosferatu ball.... could be interesting, if I can think of a character to play...

And that is life. Not too much else of interest, except last night when I crashed at a friend's place (I really need to get better at remembering my access card for my flat) I got walked in on while reading by a tall buff, long haired blond man in no pants (trousers, for the brits, as if there may be some... hah!) who didn't know I was there. He was apparently very embarrassed (which makes me think about the root of *that* word ;), while I was groggy and bemused. Mwa ha.

And now.... to sort laundry. You are hereby freed from the tyranny of my wandering fingers.
