In the year 2007 I resolve to:
Poke a badger with a spoon.



Get your resolution here.



Errr, yeees. I can see three ways to go about doing this:

1. Find an actual badger, poke it with an actual spoon

2. Find a pint of badger (beer), poke it with a spoon (Less fun)

3. Find a samurai badger, poke it with...erm...a spoon? (Remember *those* samurai badgers? Imagine trying to poke one of them. Eeek!)

So, it's Christmas.

Time to head back home, see the family, take some time off work and play all those games, read all those books and write all that plot you'd been meaning to sit down and do for ages.

Currently, of course, it's been annoyingly busy. Which seems to always happen. Rather than doing absolutely nothing (which suits me fine) we've been doing those irritating inconsequential things that take far longer than they need to. However, this evening I've finally captured that wonderful elusive moment of 'nothing is happening' - a perfect opportunity to play some more of Vampire: The Masquerade - Redemption. And it's kinda cool. Poor Christof...things really don't go his way, do they? So fabulously angsty, with so many brilliant 'darkness and pain' monologues. It's great. And inspiring. I'll have to start taking notes, I think, for when the new year's LARP kicks back in.

I'm on call tomorrow. Which is rather sadistic, really, seeing as it's Christmas eve.

However, one can't really complain. It means that I'll have an excuse to sit in front of a computer all day and play games (with the occasional interruption, of course).

I wanna play games. I just want to sit, undisturbed, and play through my backlog of games. Yet the last time I played anything was two weeks ago! Why?

Work. How does it eat up SO much time? I'm regularly finishing at around six. Which means 'time' starts at about 7. Which means I have four hours before I need to think about going to bed. It's amazing how little four hours is once you've checked your e-mails, caught up on forums/websites, had some food and gone through the obligatory interactions with other people.

There isn't really space for much else. I do *one* thing each each day outside work - that's all there is time for. Right now, it is 'roleplaying games' four nights a week (Shadovald x2, 40K Inquisitor and Dark Ages Inquisitor), I'm on call one night and there's the SF&F Social another night. Meaning I have one night a week free. This night usually gets filled by whatever it is that's happening that week. And suddenly, there's no time. Bah. Irritating! It's nice having money, but I'd happily get a little less money if it meant I had a little more time. The last month has just disappeared into a pit of nothingness. What the hell did I do this last month? Nothing, except look forward to having time to do things. What the hell did I do the month before that? Look forward to having money. *Sigh* I guess it's one or the other...

Speaking of time, I found a great way to waste it. It's like those cyberdoll thingies that keep appearing, except this one is 3D and attached to an instant messenger client. Purdy...

Hello, and Welcome to Legend Support! )

================

You know the great thing? It's actually really quite fun. I kid you not. You get the occasional 'AAAARGHHH!!!!' but everything else is great. Problem solving - while blind! Talking to a possibly irate and/or stressed person. When they don't know what you're talking about. And when half the time, you don't either...

Today was an interesting and varied day. My entire open call list will either call me back on monday, or are waiting for an RITM, or are waiting on a recognised issue that will be fixed in the next deployment. Which means that the Theresa can switch off for the weekend. Wooo...

Just tried to do that 'collage of your interests' thing. It brings up a collage of random images with keywords corresponding to things on your LJ interests page. Which is cool.

Except.

I'm assuming it's 'body modification' that brings up the photoshopped image of the woman with breasts twice the size of her head. I'm willing to discount that one, on account of the fact that y'know that technically *is* one form of body modification (even if it's a rather...silly...type). The fat, sweaty, hairy larpers I can cope with. Hell, I found the 'my eyes, the goggles, they do nothing!!!' image rather amusing despite the nakedness, mainly for the expression.

However. Little did I know how appropriate it was about to become.

So, the new university year begins.

Sunday the 8th was great. Headed onto campus with various people and said hello to some friendly (and some not so friendly) freshers. We seemed to be successful, I think that the Loz/Gemma/Paul/Theresa surgical strike team seemed to do well at not being intimidating or scary (an impressive feat, I think).

So, with this superb start, we decided to do absolutely nothing for the rest of the week. Ah well.

Shadovald on Wednesday. Made a banner listing our 'lost and damned' comrades. Then realised I knew about three of them IC! A weird start, didn't really find myself engaging all that much (I think it was just me sugar crashing though). General predictions for the term bode well - we've got a nice mix of characters, even if they seem to be getting on a *little* too well (or at least if they aren't, they're being apathetic about disagreeing.) I think this will work in the favour of new characters, who probably don't want to get caught up in the middle of some obscure political cold war - they want to go out there and be heroes, damnit!

The social was great. Glad I went. We had the usual crowd, and everyone thankfully was talking at a slightly more sensible volume than normal, meaning that conversations were possible. Which is always a good thing! Looking forward to next week's one.

Fresher's fayre - yay! That was soo much fun. Very optimistic on the membership front - lots of enthusiastic people, as opposed to just 'oh, ok, I'll sign up' people. I think the weapons-practice-in-kit thing was a really, really good idea. The number of amused bystanders who came along asking to have a go, or asking who we were, or where they can sign up - it was a very positive experience. I've identified three types of people:

1. Don't make eye contact. Just keep walking. They can't hurt/embarrass you if you don't acknowledge their existence.
LIKELIHOOD OF MEMBERSHIP: 5%

2. Hmm. What's this? That's horrendously nerdy. But looks kinda fun. People actually *do* that? I'm intrigued.
LIKELIHOOD OF MEMBERSHIP: 40%

3. SWORDS! FIGHTING! Where do I sign up?
LIKELIHOOD OF MEMBERSHIP: 95%

It's very nice to see those of the female persuasion taking an interest as well. This looks set to be a good year for SF&F.

Sunday was Shadovald. Joy! Oh, so much fun. A great start to the year - an adventure that was perfectly set up for maximum 'argh, ghouls!' factor. I already fully realised how much fun combat drugs can be for larp characters, but I didn't ever expect *Verity* to share in the joy. Damn those red potions all looking the same! Got to play rough and tumble with Katje (a rather one-sided fight, that! Don't try to punch out a beastkin...), do the 'aaaaaaaargh, Quinn, HELP MEEEEEE' scream (oh god, oh god, slay living, the horror!!!), beat up poor innocent priestesses (stop whining you pathetic little imbecile! No, I do not want a hug. *smack* Get away from me!), only actually 'drop' into death-count twice (and one of those was during the combat-drug rampage. Yes, it must be some kind of record. I like armour and hits. And resists. And healing potions!), and generally be as abrasive as possible to my friends. Woo. I shall be having not-so-quiet words with Klaus re: colour coding potion bottles, methinks!

Oh, to have kit (and HAIR!!!) like this...

Shadovald was awesome. Great event, lots of fun. Somehow didn't die. Still recovering from it - need to get fitter. Got plot. Got lots of new plans and direction for Verity. Happy!

Home again. It's been happening a lot recently.

Feeling a bit low right now, and somewhat prickly. It happens.

Looking forward to the next few days. Not particularly looking forward to the obligatory 'being social' bit - but definitely looking forward to being able to do something constructive. And play dress-up with all the tac-gear. And blast loud driving music out while cruising the autobahn in a rather large freight vehicle. Now I need to work out precisely how one goes about making a shipping waybill...Novisad, here we come.

Went for a great walk on Eggardon today. Even went to that single lone tree at the top - haven't been to it for a loooong time. And then wandered right off the edge to where the bellstone is (not to be confused with the hellstone), then continued on along ancient overgrown paths through the scrub and forests to the little village of powerstock, where I used to go to school. Wow, that brought back memories. A fair walk as well - a good two or three miles across uneven terrain. Fun!

Managed to get my hands on the Silent Hill soundtracks. Awesome. It's funny how you don't really notice half of this stuff while you're playing - so busy trying to run away in terror from horrible nasty decayed things with strange bits that don't quite fit and weird frames or cages to hold them in...

More family stuff this evening. Sadly, because our house is full of people, I haven't had any time to myself, and nor have I been able to fulfil my usual desire for strange crappy late night horror movies. Always been something on the go. That's why it was nice to get out to Eggardon today - no people! Just miles and miles of exquisite rolling hills, woods and rocks.

Slow Zombies

You scored 35 Violence, 27 Holiness, 27 Reasonableness, and 12 Focus!

Alright. You like to kill and like heavy body armor. Good instincts.
And it works well.
This is, unless the zombies use tools or tactics.
Or overpower you.
Or have an evil master who uses them strategically.
Or when they are caused by something other than a bite. (say, by
violent tendencies...)
Try not to be so trigger happy, and maybe get a goal other than
blasting things. Unless they are slow, mindless, average zombies. In
which case: Go to town!

Slow monsters all the way! It's much more fun when they're slow. You can take your time to shoot bits off them. It's much more fun to battle slow inexorability than instant death - keeps the tension up.

1. If you could talk to yourself from one year ago, what would you say?
Do. Some. Work.
Don't live with mike and anthony.

2. If you could talk to yourself from five years ago, what would you say?
If I told you that there is this amazing hobby you can do where you get to wander around in fields wearing pretty medieval/renaissance themed clothes and pretend to be a warrior princess demon fairy sorceress while fighting monsters and indulging all your childish fantasies, you wouldn't believe me. But it's true. Therefore, when you go to that amazing town in America and see all those amazing clothes in that shop - buy them. All. Everything you can see. Oh, and watch out for spiders. Especially spider-eyelid bite interfacing. Oh, and don't lose that CD, damnit!

3. If you could talk to yourself from ten years ago, what would you say?
In ten years time you'll be happy as all hell, have loads of friends, have a degree (even if it's a fairly crappy one) and will have just spent the best three years of your life pretending to be the aforementioned fantasy cliche amalgamation while slaying goblins. So, stick with it. And don't be pathetic. And don't sit around waiting for someone else to do things that you should be doing yourself! Oh, and, also. You're not going to be an astronaut. Idiot.

If there is someone on your friends list with whom you would like to engage in a hot, sweaty, 4-hour long sexual encounter which, in terms of voracity, would sound like someone banging two steer carcasses together while stirring a 50 gallon bowl of macaroni and cheese over a public address system...

...post this exact sentence in your journal.

I don't think I'd use precisely that analogy, since it makes me think 'ick, sweaty bodies' rather than 'mm people I am attracted to'.

Erm. Yeah...Anyway...I had a good rant a short while ago. The Tom listens well, he does, yes.

Maelstrom was great, as always.

Some OOC issues, which made things a little awkward and/or irritating at times - but in general, the bits that weren't fucked were great. Quite a change of pace compared with last event - lots of hiding in the shadows and priest-dodging. Hopefully next time round I'll get more of a chance to play my character properly.

"Name ten of life's simple pleasures that you like most, then pick ten people to do the same. Try to be original and creative and not to use things that someone else has already used."

1. Pub lunches with my family in beautiful, happy Dorset
2. LARPing with my friends, meeting interesting new people and killing them/being killed by them in interesting new ways
3. That wonderful feeling when you've come home after spending all day working, and can afford to take a few hours' break
4. Waking up, realising it's 9am on a Saturday, and drifting back into oblivion for a while
5. When you're sooo tired and thirsty and hot that you can't hold the bottle of inevitable sugary energy drink straight so it ends up going everywhere - but you don't care, because you're too happy-tired!
6. The happy warm giggly feeling you get when you've just done something constructive, your favourite song is playing, you've just had a great meal and things are looking up
7. Train journeys. I actually really like two+ hours' worth of enforced stillness and quietness
8. Curling up on the sofa in front of the fire, laptop on conveniently placed table, playing a nice fun adventure game or reading a book
9. Doing something creative that actually turns out *right*
10. Drifting off to sleep to the beautiful, relaxing sound of Loreena McKennitt

So this is how it rolls: List ten things you want to say to ten different people. Do not state who these people are. Do not confirm or deny any 'comment speculation'.

1. Lighten up. I can't work out whether it's a problem with me, or with other people in general, but you used to be a lot more pleasant to talk to. Now it seems like anything I say (and, for that matter, anything that most other people say) is just background noise that you shrug off while waiting for the only other *real* member of the conversation to speak. It can't be what I think it is, because that's just lame.

2. Don't hate me. I don't know what I did to deserve it, but I wish you'd give me a break - irrational hatred is a terrible thing to be faced with, especially when it's constantly being sprouted behind your back. You used to be a friend, now I'm terrified to be in your presence for fear of provoking snide comments or further bitching. Having said that, I think you have, at least to some extent, eased off. Thankyou. While I was worried for a while back there that we had a serious problem, things seem to have really mellowed out. Or maybe I just don't hear about it anymore.

3. Will you forever remain just out of reach, gone before you've even finished arriving? And even if it weren't the case, would I *really* want it to be so anyway? I think I'm far too fickle, and you're too fickle too. Which is a shame, because we'd be awesome (if simultaneously terribly, terribly awful).

4. And you - Argh! You could have had me. It would have been awful, and pathological, and messed up and terribly bad for both of us (but especially you) - but I can't help feel that despite the obvious differences, we'd have *worked* on some fundamental, primal, impossible level. We're so different, but so alike...

5. You're a great person, and a surprisingly good friend. You've gone from mild disinterest to occasional almost seething annoyance to bloody good friends, and despite the faint nagging cynicism I can't quite escape and occasional 'argh, stop talking now, I'm irritated', you're a remarkably sound person to talk to.

6. You were nice to me when I felt like I had nobody in the world. You have absolutely no idea what great things your kindness has done for me - but it meant so much, you picked me up out of a hole that I thought I'd never, ever, ever escape from - oh, if you could see me now! I know you almost certainly won't ever read this, but thankyou so very much for being so great.

7. You never knew, but way back in the mists of time I really, really liked you. I still do, all this time later. If it wasn't for circumstance, I wonder how things would have worked. 'Course, you have no idea, not even the most tiny inkling, even now. I'll open your eyes, maybe, one day, given half a chance - and show you how great being silly can be!

8. You're gourgeous. Fabulous. You make me jealous, you do. Curiously, I always wondered, in fact in many ways I secretly sort of wished it were so. I still yearn for another. Perhaps that was why it wasn't going to happen. Oh, forgive me.

9. Fuckface. Ha, hahahaha! Those endless wasted hours...Bus Washes, Singularities, The Mothman Prophecies. I take pride in having been nice. You (and your other half- oh, come on, you hated each other far too much for it not to be so! You were like an old married couple...) were wonderfully funny. Wonder what you're up to now. Wonder if you're wondering. Doubt it, you never were that sort (or at least, you wouldn't have admitted it). We'll have to hook up again some time. Throw some insults, just like old time's sake.

10. And YOU! God damnit, it was good to talk the other day. How many hours, how many wasted business studies lessons. Remember the goatse incident? Remember finding the admin account? Arse burgers? Remember *him*? And *him*? Remember the hours we spent devising, scheming and generally being really quite disturbing? Remember those random drives to Bournemouth and back, because we *could*? You took the piss out of me mercilessly, far more than this bunch ever will (and probably ever could), and yet it never got to me because for some reason it was *appropriate* rather than vaguely nasty. I'll probably never actually see you again, but I'll remember the good times always. You made things bearable, you insensitive, hateful, angry, nerdy, intolerant but somehow still incredibly likeable bastard.

Ahh Serenity was great fun. We didn't die! We started off the session with three people critically failing at what they were trying to do, took on a crazed stowaway with a grenade, shot up twice as many heavily armed slavers as there were us, managed to get shot twice, and yet none of us died! Yay!

Changeling yesterday was fun. Fun fun fun. I'm glad people seemed to enjoy it - it was rather fun to run. The voices! They speak, and I must follow! I'm inspired. Muahaha...

Shadovald today rocked. Great fun to play, great fun to monster. Finally, for the first time playing this character, I got to fight demons. Yay. (Damnit, I need that Runeblade spell!). Apparently, there was a cock-up of some kind on the second mission - which is odd. Nothing seemed particularly amiss or awry. In fact, everything seemed pretty, well, straightforward. Very little faff, loads of fun. Was great. Especially the 'BOOOOM' at the end. That whole last 'cutscene' bit felt very 40k/hostile waters.

Well, Shadovald was great. All rainy and soggy and gritty and harsh and utterly terrifying in an oh-god-rain-and-sweat-in-my-eyes if-I-let-my-guard-down-for-a-second-I'm-going-to-die kinda way. Which was great. It's been so long since I've played a ghoul, and I don't think I've *ever* played a demon before - so on the monstering side, it was awesome fun. On the player side, it was an absolute blast as well. I think I've finally found my feet with this character now )

Serenity was great. Marcus seemed to have fun throwing random 'awareness' rolls at us - which made me grin. For some reason I became overcome by paranoia, even though my character's supposed to be cool as a cat. We got drunk, and now have a mission to do, and have a glowing pink space samurai called Kenji onboard! And a cat! Yay. This looks set to be a fun campaign.
