March 17th - Saint Patrick's Day
Today is, of course, St. Patrick's Day, in remembrance of the day St. Patrick arrived, looked around, and said "Well, ye live on roots from the earth, ye boil yer beef, and God help ye, ye burn dirt for warmth. This place is fooked, let's get seriously shitty."
The tradition continues to this day.

hey, where are you?
hypnogogic:
very nice. you need a drink?
Well, I've got two friends now. Which is not too shabby.
Really, when you think about it, they're both ideal.
One's an animated lecher, with a heavy drinking habit, and a fondness for loud clothing.
The other's a tall girl from Canada. Hmmm.... she's a girl, she's from Canada, and she's marked as my friend. Holy shit, I've got a girl-friend in Canada! I haven't...

For the record, I wasn't fishing

Careful, I might poke you in your eye if you have it too close. I keep a lot of blunt rubbery vibrating objects around.
Well, I've recovered nicely from my drinking binge. Not that I had much recovering to do, really, but there's always that lingering toxic feeling that comes in the aftermath of draining a lot of booze.
A thread here yesterday got me to thinking about getting older, and the gradual loss of dreams. The young always want to be renaissance men, really: there are infinite possibilities...

This is just like how i remember the real Sesame Street!

thanks!
Well, I went out and got shitty drunk last night. I'm not much into going out on a Sunday night, but my friend really wanted to go, and we haven't done anything together in a while, so I went.
We spent the night just trolling around. We hit Devil's Point first, but they were doing a karoake night, and I'm not really into that. They...

One of the best ways to get a feel for a new board is to watch other new posters start threads, and to see the reactions of long time posters to those threads. So that's what I've been doing - for the most part, the folks on SG seem pretty laid back, and there are a lot of posters here with nicely laid back senses...

I always read the journals to see if I'll like the person. It tells me a lot more than their profile answers- although I look at those too.
When I first scrolled down to say hi, I saw all purple and was thinking, "wow, everyone who talks to this guy is one of my friends!" LOL
P.S. If you think people on SG are "laid-back," then I will assume you have been steering clear of the current events boards.

yes, account sharing is frowned upon by the staff
Day 3 of this journal thing - I'm trying to get in the habit of writing these, and repetition is good for that. That's my moment of Shaolin wisdom. Hey, after 8 years of study, I suppose I should apply it to something besides hitting things.
Anyway, this morning I was thinking about the house I almost bought, but didn't. It was a thing of...

Ah well that certainly helps with my bafflment and confusion... although I think it's a permenant state sometimes.
I'm not a "serious" writer - yet. But it's definitely something I do as a hobby, and hope to one day publish something. i have indeed heard of RPGs, and I can proudly say that one summer, long, long ago, my mom, in a last-ditch effort to send me away for the summer, sent me to a Dungeons and Dragons summer camp. Now if that isn't the epitome of dorkiness, I don't know what is.
I know how hard it is to even get your foot in the door at some of these publishing houses. I seriously think they base their decisions on things like throwing darts, or i don't know, pin the tail on the donkey. "Yes, I believe we will accept...this one! It has shallow characters, a boring plot, and could be mistaken for a cliche dictionary... but gosh darnit, the donkey tail told me to."
And I loved the Earthsea series too. I haven't read it in a long while. I'm also a fan of Anne McCaffrey.

Alas, the only RPGs I'm into these days are the ones on my X Box.
And I'm actually familiar with a few publishing websites - erotica and others. When I found them I thought it was a cool concept, but I was disappointed with the calibre of writing... which, in retrospect shouldn't have surprised me that much. But hey, if the money's there...
I also read a lot of AM's older stuff, haven't read anything recent. But I absolutely loved (and I think it's in my profile) the Crystal Singer series. I found it such a fascinating concept. If you're in the mood, you should take a look.
I took a Sci-Fi English class in University. It was interesting since the reading list was diverse enough to hold my attention. We read a Le Guin book, The Left Side Of Darkness. I didn't like it. I was very disappointed.

Day Two - The Natives Are Restless
I've figured out why this place is so damn relaxing to me, compared to the forum I admin: RPG.net
It's all about what's waiting for me when I first log in.
On RPG.net, I see complaints, and reported posts - "Waaaaa! He said I'm a doody head! And I think you're a doody head, and you're mean! And...

thats right, i forgot. youre a family man too.
rudegirl:
well, thank you for the compliment Patricks wife.
Well, this is my first journal entry ever.
It's like when I lost my virginity, only I'm not screaming or bleeding, and Mr. T is nowhere to be seen.
I am pantless right now though, so that's a bit of symmetry.
Anyway, to tell you all something completely fascinating, I'm still waiting for a final call back on a job. After 4 interviews, and...
