27 June 2002 (Thursday): well, "less" mundane...

I am working from home today. I am being productive. This is an oxymoron. Particularly bewildering because I am feeling wholly unmotivated, but here I am, steadily crossing things off the to-do list.

Reflection X, however, can kiss my patootie.

Okay, somebody is going to have to teach me to play D&D. I am often the one-girl-among-guys, and my taste in men has always run toward the geeky, which means just about everyone I hang out with these days knows the game through and through. Plus Ms. Slithy-Tove, who I am convinced is my great lost love across the sexual-orientation divide, revealed yesterday that she spent her high school years rolling the dodecahedron die. And playing an elf. Ooh.

Soren says I scratch myself vigorously while I sleep. How embarrassing.

I see you as an elven cleric. High morals, an undefined spirituality, able to control the undead, and ruthless with a mace.

Clerics are also enthusiastic sleep scratchers. ;)

how about playing mud? it's scary addictive, though... backstab flee!

Live anywhere near san Diego? We play...and I usually am an elf or a human...boring I know, but when I am a human I am a bard. I think you'd be great at it!

Chaotic neutral is the way to go. The most difficult alignment to play where only lunatics can fit the role. Just remember, the only reliable trait is unreliability...

what you have here is an excellent excuse for nethack. download post-haste, child: you'd make an excellent lawful valkyrie.

as a friend put it, one is obliged to adore a game with big, scary capital letters filling in for monsters.
