thessalian | Game Over?

Julie rang in sick today. I'm sure I'm an evil, evil, evil person for thinking this, but I hope she's not just being a hypochondriac and I hope she stays away all week. The quiet is just life-enhancing. Well, apart from the fact that we have Capital FM on and Hanson was played. I thought "Mmmm-Bop" got laughed out of existence years ago.

Lunch with SOINM went fine; I recommended him a book for the plane (lucky bugger's a slow reader and a Stephenson fan so I insisted he try "Snow Crash"), we wandered a lot and now he's off to Melbourne. God help the Aussies.

Dinner with the 'rents also went fine. SSD liked his present and laughed over the card and that's a victory in my book.

Then there was the lunacy over the still-in-contention gaming group. Basically, there was a lot of miscommunication and the entire thing resulted in my muse stamping her feet and shouting "Fuck the lot of you; you're all psychotic!" and locking herself in a closet. Which made finishing my little project rather difficult. I managed anyway, but I'm hoping to lure her back to put the finishing touches on. As it is, though, we're on an on-again-off-again situation reminiscent of my relationship with FOINM (First One I Nearly Married).

Here's where I am on it, for those of my cabal who're reading this. It's nice that you're "in". It's not nice that you're not enthused. I don't want to push people into something that's supposed to be fun if the enthusiasm isn't there. And if you're of the tribe of "Shows No Enthusiasm For Anything Ever"... You want to game like that? *BZZZT* I'm sorry, but that answer isn't even on the board. I appreciate that you don't want to nag. But I have the job and the muse who runs off on ten different tangents at once. If you're enthused ... don't nag; prod. Man cannot game by GM alone.

And I still have the flu. Everybody has the flu. And it will not go away. Damn epidemics.

You could try to lure you muse of the closet using cookies (or sexual favours .. which ever fits).
Gaming groups respond well to cookies too I noticed (was kinda tough with the last group I was in tho, one had a severe nut allergy, and two were lactose intollerant - meant lots of cookies for me tho), Pizza works well too ... but if you REALLY want a a rsponse (or Nocturne knocking at your door) try Nachos!

Erm ... you seem confused as to the location of my cabalites. Two are in California -- one in the Bay Area and one in Santa Barbara, some miles south. And the third lives in Ohio. I don't think luring them anywhere with food would work unless I managed to find a way to DCC real objects.

As to Nocturnes showing up at my door, I'm strongly considering getting a drinking session together with the British LJers I know on Halloween. After all, it's a holiday I truly celebrate and it's not so fun alone.

yup ur right, thought ur cabal was local to you. Typical of me not to think.

re All Hallows Eve, unfortunately I HAVE to attend a party someplace near Dartford that weekend, so it's unlikely I'd be able to attend .. my fiance's sister and her neighbours want to see my car. Depends when your celebrating of course.

Hey, don't worry about it. With me, though, it's always safest to assume that the friend I'm talking about lives at least 5,000 miles away.

Halloween was just a convenient date for all-out mayhem. However, when I'm out there's no helping the all-out mayhem. So I could just arrange it another time. (But I'm still going out for Halloween...)

Sounds like a blast either way.

*affronted snort* What am I? Chopped Cthulu liver?

(I'm in Oregon, btw.)

Yeah, I know, but you're not in on Mage: the Clusterfuck. I was talking about the Clusterfuckers. If I was talking about those not in on the Clusterfuck, or who used to be on the Clusterfuck, I'd have to include several towns in Ohio, Pennsylvania, obviously Oregon, New York State and Christ only knows where else...

OHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

Gomen nasai...it's early, and I'm preparing for another 11 weeks of skewl. *beats head on keyboard*

Eh, don't worry about it. I know how you feel, believe me.

Luck with the school-thing. Damn educational system.

Oregon?
Been there a couple of times, small place called Coos Bay. Wouldnt'e be from anywhere near there would ye?
Great countryside, trees (lotsa trees), and sand dunes. Nice beach too.

Coos Bay...ew...my former dorm-mate is from there. She says it's a pit.

Nah, I'm from the Portland area, but now live in Klamath Falls, a teeny college town just n. of the California border.

J-chan

Well it's been 12 years since I was last there, so it might have changed. Or I may have had those funky rose colored specs on ...
But the memories of the place are all good.
even my visit to court was kinda fun. (I was specating before you ask)
