All Hallows Eve

The night the dead and sprits walk the earth, I love it. Halloween is the best holiday ever, I get to dress up anyway I want and it's in my favorite season of the year. I love the crunch of the leaves the smell of the chimney smoke and the slight bite of chill in the air. Then add to that people running around as ghost, goblins and other cool things and you have a perfect holiday. I just wish I could go out and enjoy it more, I being an adult can not really do so. As an adult you can go to a bar or a party but other then that walking around in a costume is considered silly. Maybe some day I will have kids and then I can run around with my silly monkeys and have a blast again.

Heroes

I have been watching this new TV show Heroes and I really love it, it just makes me think of all the things I wish I could do.

I would love to have the power to tell if someone is lying and then to be able to make them tell the truth. We would no longer need courts I could just talk to them to now the truth, lying is important sometimes but not when it comes to killing or other horrible things. I would also love to fly; it would be great to be able to go to places without using gas and to feel the wind and to see the beautiful sky. But I think most people want to fly for one reason or another. I think my last would be not a real power but to be able to live till I'm like 100 and never look or feel any older then 25. I still want to die because I have no wish to live forever I think I would get bored, but I don't want to loss my mind and function of my body. I want to just keel over someday ripe, strong and still all there.

I think that’s about it I just think it would be neat if everyone had some secret little power.

The 90

Well I had a very interesting Friday the 13th, I spent it trapped on route 90 in Buffalo New York. I don't know if everyone heard about it but there was a very big storm in western NY which really sucked. About 350 thousand people are left without electricity, plus trees are everywhere having been knocked out by pounds of snow. By Friday afternoon I did finally escape the 90 but only after being rescued by some very nice Amish guys. They came and dug my car out of the snow as well as several other people's car. So far a lot of people still don't have electricity and a whole bunch of damage was done to the trees in Buffalo. Hopeful all the electricity should be on by the end of the week, but I think it will take a lot longer for Buffalo to recover from this it was pretty devastating.

Gaming

I have been thinking about gaming a lot lately. I love the games we play in our group and the characters we create, but I fell something is lacking sometimes. All the people in my group love to play but not many love to run a game. It would like very much if we had someone in our group who liked to just GM. I guess it's not so bad especially with the game we are playing now, Ptolus which is going to be a long term think. I would be nice thought not to have to figure out every time who is going to run, most times the person who runs only does it for a little while then they quit.

The group we have is great thought. Rob is a very detailed gamer with a high knowledge of rules and how to tweak his characters. He is big on action not so much on role-play. Heather Rob's wife is a great role-player and a very energetic gamer for the first 4 or 5 hours. At around the 5th or 6th hour she generally falls asleep but that's not her fault she has a lot on her home plate. Dave my husband is a good mix he likes role-play and action, he has a tendency to want to be the center of the action thought which can be annoying sometimes. He usually has great character background and in depth plot. Megan is new to gaming but had come along fairly well, she keeps track of all our adventures in written form which is neat. Her only downfall is that her characters tend to be one dimensional and pretty much the same personality every time. Matlock is funny and smart with his role-play he can be a bit crass sometimes but most of the time he is not to bad. He is newest to our group and tends to come and go some of the time. Autumn has been gaming for awhile so her characters tend to be well thought out and pretty cool to deal with. She loves the role-play parts but can get frustrated when we take forever to figure something out (which I can totally understand sometimes). Eric her husband is very detail oriented he runs most of our games right now and is freakin great at it. As a player he is also a good mix of action and role-play, his characters are always interesting. Last but not least me, I love the role-play but lately I have really started to like kicking some butt. I think I am good about making my characters but my one issue is I get distracted really easily so if nothing is going on with my character I tend to wander away.

Well that is my group in a nutshell, I think we work together pretty well but I guess time will only tell. Mwhahahahahahahahahaahaha.

Driving

Because of where I am living now I have an hour and 15 min ride to work which gives me a long time to think about things. Like how pretty the trees are, I wonder where that guy is driving to so fast, should I call my sister tonight? Things like that. I just wonder what the other people are thinking as they are driving to there job or home or where ever.

My week is broken up into segment’s work, gaming, Sunday(day off). Then my day is broken up it to segments home, driving, work, driving, home. Finally my work is broken up into segments start work, first break(first quarter), work, lunch(halfway), work, break(last quarter), end of work. Sometimes I hate that I just want to throw it all off and go crazy, but it's day in day out of segments. When I drive this is what I think of. I also make up stories, and silly romances. Most of all I dream about things I want to do in my life, little things, and big things.

Wood Floor, Bare Feet

I am so happy I am now in my new apartment, I have no furniture but I am in my new place. I love the feeling of a new place, everything is new and interesting. The feeling of the hard wood floor as I walk across it with my bare feet, the new fridge and shiny new stove, the light of sun coming thought the windows.

Things have been so hard the last couple of years, my husband and I had only been married for a little under a year when he lost his job. The stress of trying to find a new place because the place we where living in was too much for our means was horrible. Then my husband taking 2 years to find a new job and the whole time having to live with my parents, it was a real strain on our marriage but we held thought it and I think that shows how strong we can be. Having our new place and him having a job has really made my life so much better, now then only thing I have to stress about is me not my whole family.

I am so happy I have had friends these last few years it has made my life so much easier having people who understand. I don't know how people can get along with out friends, getting into table top gaming has really changed my life in that respect. I will never forget the day my brother talked my twin sister and I into playing his Castles and Cockatrice game that he and his friends had made. I have found more real friends in gaming then anywhere else, heck I meet my husband at a live action role-play event. I am just so happy that things are going better and I hope it stays this way at least for a little while.
