So, now that it is mid term time I obviously need a distraction and more bad ideas to make me a less productive student. This is why I have accepted a challenge from a friend.
Apparently there is a national novel writing month. The goal of which is simply to write an entire novel in a single month. If that is not what the month actually is about feel free to correct me, but it won't change what is to follow. In response to this tradition, a friend of mine has decided he is going to try to crap out an entire campaign setting for D&D.
Knowing that I had plenty of scholastic things I should be working on in the upcoming month, I decided to join this challenge. Throughout November I will be crafting an entire world, putting my entire knowledge of how history flows to the test. Man do I wish I could submit this instead of my undergraduate thesis for credit. This is mostly just a warning that I will occasionally be updating my blog with my progress in this geeky affair.
In News that doesn't make me less attractive to women: This weekend was apparently Homecoming Weekend. Didn't find that out until Friday night when myself and a group of friends almost decided to go to the dance to help one of them pick up freshmen. We opted to be honorable people and not encourage such behavior. So instead we watched movies and drank beer.
My observations, though slightly blurred were amusing. I propose you try this experiment at home. Get a group of single geeky guys together and then throw a moderately attractive girl into the room to watch a movie with them. The attempts to gain her favor are amusing. Myself and one friend whom already has a lady friend, were the only ones not bending over backwards to be nice. By the end of the night between 4 of us we had finished off 24 bottles of beer and were sadly disappointed that it was too late to get more.
Oh and if you're wondering what movies we watched, they were Hellraiser and "An Ode to David Bowie's Bulge" (aka Labrynth). We also learned we need to warn people about watching movies with us. My friends like talking through movies to turn them into Mystery Science Theatre 3000 experiences, not everyone expects that. It is probably a bad sign for a movie's quality when I can talk over half of it and still know the exact plot of it.

Thank you so much for the encouraging words. Your right I do have my mind made up just want to make sure Im making the right one, hearing opinions from complete strangers can sometimes be more helpful than hearing from the people close to you. Im not sure how it works that way but it does. Thank you dear
