Yup. I'm a proud nerd. My Facebook flaunts this image, and my friends are all jelly, too. :D
Finding out your baby is ginormous is pretty awesome. Two months old 14lbs and 24.5 inches long. He is a big boy with lovely baby pudge everywhere. Sadly, he had a very traumatizing day. The vaccinations made him fussy and there was no mommy to comfort him this afternoon.
Awwww. I love babies. I'm sure he's super adorable. :3
Awesome of the night;
(I've been forgetting to do this daily)
Waking up to, "You're really cute when you sleep." It's funny because that is a cheesy line from almost every stupid romance flick out there but damn... it sure does make me smile~!
Finding a new obsession. As for me... because of this site, and the people I've met on it I'm finally going to give a go at tabletop gaming! I went out and bought the essentials today and have been eagerly reading and gathering information! I'm having a blast!
What tabletop system did you choose to go with? I hear Pathfinder is popular now. But I am a fan of Palladium and Earthdawn myself (and some old school AD&D or D&D 1st). I also think BESM is silly and fun.
Well I had no idea where to start. I was going to go with Pathfinder (Due to it being specifically recommended to me) but the price was a little above my pocket change at the moment. The owner of the shop recommended I go with the D&D Essentials books for now, which I looked through prior to purchasing and they seemed approachable. Plus he said every Wednesday they play and I could come watch and eventually play when I feel comfortable, which appealed to me as well.
I'm a little overwhelmed at the moment, but my eagerness to get started is pushing me through as I try and process all this information. I think once I go check it out on Wednesday I will feel even better about it... xD

I think once I familiarize myself with tabletop games a little better I will probably make more independent choices and take up games that appeal to my interests individually. I just remember half assedly attempting to play the game when I was a freshmen in high school, so I went with the most familiar name along with his suggestions.
Not... DnD Fourth Edition... noooooooo! Edition 3/3.5 is acceptable, but 4th is garbage. But I guess it can be used as a gateway drug to bigger and better things. I would have recommended GURPs as a starter. Those books are a bit cheaper and GURPs is a very open system that can fit into any world. Though, not as popular, it is a great starter game.
Please, don't hesitate to give me as much information and opinion on it as you possibly can! I feel like a lost and sheltered virgin who is being sent to the inner city to buy condoms and sex toys. I have no idea what I'm looking for, no experience... x_x;
What was your first tabletop gaming experience? Do you have any tips for beginners? What should I be doing right now?! xD
I played Palladium first and for many years before I was introduced to another system. Then I played DnD, Earthdawn, Shadowrun, Big Eyes Small Mouth and many more. There are so many choices out there. The main thing is to go out and find a good group to game with. Play with people you like, a dedicated and entertaining gm who can roll witht he punches, and in a comfy place. All these things add to the enjoyment and atmosphere of the game. If people are afraid to be rediculous, then maybe they've forgotten what they're doing . Drama is cool, but you still need the fun.
If you want to get into it- go out and buy your very own set of dice. Buy ones that are "you". I have bright yellow dice and Libra themed dice- but my special dice (you know, the ones that in my head I think roll better than other dice even though they all roll the same) are speckly orange with gold numbers.
I don't think there's any store in my town which sells tabletop games...
Ah! This is such an exciting experience!
I will most likely keep you updated, and probably ask you a few more questions. So hopefully you won't think of me as too annoying! xD
And Brook, the places I've been too are independently run small shops that usually have one dedicated owner. But like most small businesses, a lot are being closed down due to the current economy... :(
Sittin' here listening to come old school Ska/Reggae music with my grub worm is awesome.
Does he dance? xD Or do the baby wiggle?
I'm so jealous. I wanna grub worm doing the baby wiggle with a little bit of giggle. XD
Yeah... I understood 3.5 for D&D pretty well, but when I was reading the 4 stuff I was like, "This doesn't... Are they serious? Maybe it makes more sense or is more fun when you're actually playing...?" Because, hey - what do I know? I'd never played a tabletop game before.
But now we come to my awesome of the day: Getting your first order of gaming dice. And they threw in freebies too. :x
I now am the owner of 20 d10s in a beautiful marbled garnet red with gold numbering. I actually think they sent me more expensive dice rather than the dice I ordered, because the photo of what I ordered showed the dice as much pinker with white lettering. I can't get the dice to go that pink even by shining a light on them. (But I don't really want "pink" dice anyway. The character's hair is meant to be a garnet color and this is closer than what I thought I was ordering. >_>; )
And I got an email today that another order of gaming dice shipped. \o/ So: Getting a shipping notice.
I love the diaper dance. We used to have this huge boombox we would put on the floor and I remember my little brother used to do the "diaper dance" next to it all the time. Where he would stand up and bob his butt up and down while sort of headbanging? xD
Awesome: Dance partners that know what they are doing. To be honest, I'd prefer to dance with the old guys in my dance class because the young guys are wishy-washy with limp forms. Though, the teacher's assistant is really cute, a year older than me, and an amazing dancer. I'm not very skilled at dancing, but it's so much fun to dance with him. He likes to mess around, so he throw in several spins that the teacher didn't tell us to do. And, him and a guy I like wore suits to dance class today. They looked very dapper. I actually have more friends in dance than I do in any other class.
Also awesome: Inappropriate conversations with a good friend. Being a freshman in college, I don't really have a lot of good friends here so I kinda keep to myself, but in my dance class is one of my good friends from back home and he walks me back to my dorm after the class (because it's at night and he's a gentleman. Or so he tells me.) And since dance is only once a week, I rarely get to talk to him face to face. But, tonight, for some reason, we ended up talking about porn and masturbation and it was the most fun conversation I've had in the month I've been here.
I totally agree Petrichora. I love when my partner has a nice solid dance form- basically when they can lead. I know when learning that the confidence is not there on form, but at least don't be a limp noodle so I have to guess what you want me to do. Bleh.
Was that a signal for a left hand pass or a right hand pass? You want me to just run into you? I'm confused.
It is the worst in tango and lindy to have a limp partner. But when you have a strong (skilled) partner, it is seriously awesome and you can't help but look good while dancing.
I am possibly the worst dancer alive. I would go ahead and blame it on being a klutz, but I just don't have an ounce of dancer in me.
Oh, and some awesome for the day!! When you wake up early on a day you have absolutely nothing to do so you have a full day to just do everything you want to!!
Schiz, I heard thsi really cool quote somewhere. "If you can talk, you can sing. If you can walk, you can dance."
Awesome: Whenever my logic teacher needs to make up a scenario and the characters are both girls, he always names them Mary and Sue. I don't know if he knows what a Mary Sue is in the RP world, but I thought it was awesome.
*laughs* That is pretty good Petrichora.
Awesome thing- digging out that old game and replaying it and suddenly remembering how cool it is.
I love that! I get that feeling when I find old books from a series I never finished, or a t-shirt I thought I lost. xD
Awesome of the day - Watching movies from your childhood and remembering those life lessons that you seem to forget with time. (Watched the Lion King with the kids I'm taking care of for the long weekend.) It was awesome.
I want to preface this with something. I love science. No really, I love it. And things like this are the reason why:
Skin Regenerating Gun
I cannot even begin to tell you how cool this is. It will not only save lives, but also help to stop the spread of infection, minimize healing time and help prevent suffering in victims. This is what science is for... and you know what? They are holding out because they want to invent something even more awesome- a gun that will regenerate organs and hair as well. How cool is that?
Cool science makes my day, everyday.
Awesome thing of the day: getting more money on your Amazon account so you can buy more eBooks. I am a menace when it comes to buying eBooks. Luckily, I am a master of "Free".
Can I please be your apprentice of Free? xD
Awesome of the Day: Those perfect temperature days. My perfect temperature is a little cooler than what everyone else seems to like, but today is just a nice, slightly breezy Autumn day and I simply love it~
It has also been really nice here. I love this time of year and all the lovely weather (even if it only lasts a couple of weeks).
I was really sad when I heard this was going to be one of the shortest autumn seasons recorded. :(
But I guess I can't complain since it's also supposed to be the most beautiful for fall foliage. I love the pretty colors and I don't have to travel to go see them!
Speaking of weather, I think it's awesome when there's a downpour, and yet it's still really sunny out. I had one of those days the other day, and it was one of the most beautiful things I've seen.
Awesome thing of the day:
Banana Milk.
Items needed:
banana - 1
milk - 2 cups (or so)
blender
The following conversations makes me cry tears of joy. Soooooooo awesome. Hopefully, things will be fixed, soon.

Okay, so this has nothing to do with Mene, but, since you're a mod on here, I thought you might know some of the other mod's numbers. I believe I saw your username on WTFRPG, which is why I contacted you.
So, the problem. There is a spammer that is completely ruining the atmosphere on WTFRPG and the active members are beginning to wonder where the mods are. We've all flagged the issues and now we're wishing we knew someone that could get in contact with Insomniac. Sadly, none of us know how to, which is where you come in. I'm not saying you know how to reach him, but I was wondering if you knew anyone up the chain of command that might be able to reach him.
Here's a link to the spammers most recent set of spams: [ c l i c k ].
Thank you in advance for your help. Even if you can't do anything, I will at least feel better knowing that I tried to get the issue resolved.
Thanks again!

CK is almost entirely in charge of WTF, so I'll pass this information over to her. I'd help you out myself but I don't have moderating powers over there.
I'm sorry that spammers have been taking over, we'll get this sorted out as soon as possible!

*pops the bubbly*
Yay! Let us begin the celebration of things possibly happening to make this spammer go away~! This was a very good idea, kudos Xavi!!
Le poop. Spammer has gotten worse. *shudders*
Really? What level of spammy is this guy at now? D: Although I've noticed he is online... a lot.
Awesome: New skully pajamies for the winter~ <3
He's like triple spamming. It's annoying. And he seems to spam the same threads. It's annoying. imma go fight 'm now. >3
Yay! Thank Xavi! I really hope a mod or admin will get on and help us out. :)
Sorry about that, you guys. Yesterday I was busy all day and the day before that I was busy towards the end of the day. :/ You weren't being ignored. Someone just happened to get through our mighty spam blocking software at a time I couldn't spend on WTF. :c
Things that are awesome: Shark Cat destroying spammers! *Chomp chomp*
