For A Change
Dec. 2nd, 2003 08:55 am
I'm totally grooving on this new stereo I got. Thanks *so* much, RC, you rock the party hard. :)
SUPER SPECIAL THANK YOU to Frenziewolf, whose package I got in the mail yesterday. Guess all my crap about surface mail was complete hoohah, right? :) I got a neat letter and a tea gift set(!!!!!!!!!!) that I actually had to do dances around for a bit. Afterwards, I put them in my pantry and just stared at them lovingly. Man, this winter is going to be a *GREAT* one for tea. :) Thanks so MUCH, man, I *love* the present. :D :D The jasmine tea was awesome, and I'll be taking the English Breakfast in to work with me.
Yesterday was kind of...interesting. Got a good, steady pace at work, so that went well. Didn't get around to any of the projects I wanted to quite, but that's OK. I should have a bit more time today to do those. Yesterday's Changeling game started off kind of rocky, and we didn't get around to the stopping point I wanted (which would have *ruled*), but that's OK. Next game should be a good return to faster-paced gaming.
I also managed to piss off two people into not talking to me at all somehow. One I really care about, and it really sucks, especially since...I wanted to get to know him better. The other one I don't care as much about. He's honestly not a very good person, and he doesn't want to take responsibility for it. He also threatened me with Wiz-action because I tried to broker a peaceful resolution between himself and a friend of mine, which shows me his thinking is really skewed. Some people have always got to be the victim.
Either way, with the first person I won't bug them any more but always secretly hope they talk to me, and the second person is the first person I plan on keeping on ignore for a while. Mmm, dichotomy.
Boomer Express is going pretty well so well; Tyrnn and I are communicating well, and I'm getting excited about making the end of the current storyline a really good one. A lot of people have stopped reading because the story has taken so long, and I urge you all to come back and give us another chance. :D It's almost over, really, and we're going to do our best to make it worthwhile.
2 asked me about doing stand-up for PMP next year, and I told him I was game. Still in its very preliminary stages (I might not even be selected as his opening act), but I already have a good idea about what I want to write about for the routine and the nervousness is creeping in. PMP has so many people who do this entertainment thing for a living, or at least a pretty big hobby, and not only that they're *good* at it. A green little schmo in front of a bunch of people who are talented and funny in and of themselves does not look promising. <:) Still, MFF went well enough that I want to pursue this a bit longer. I'm also becoming a bit more assertive. I still don't know what the hell I'm doing, I just feel a lot better about doing stuff anyway. One of the benefits of not shoving ego in a dark little corner and hoping it goes away, I guess. On the flipside, I worry about how close friends will view this change. Much like Lazarus Ratty, I worry constantly about my relationship with other people and whether or not I'm perceived as an ass by people I care about. So I guess I keep the same basic level of worry; I'm just devoting a lot more worry to people I mean something to, and less to other folks. Silver drew a really neat stylized line-drawing thing that I want to make into a LJ icon. I also got a pic from Kenket that I'd like to icon, but I'll have to e-mail her for permission. Wow, a LJ post *before* work! I'm on the ball today. Wheehah. :) Tonight, writing and Aubrin's D and D game, I think. Poor penguin has a devil of a throat problem.
