Is it just me or do the boards seem a little empty as of late? Where is everybody?!
...and this is our young one, Connie.
I have never posted much, but have beenposting far less recently due to what I might call an "overload" of DnD with 3 separate campaigns running I use my spare time for other things now.
I know this guy with a pointy head that says he's from France.You just almost made coffee come out my nose again.
I think you've some inborn need to experience the sensation, myself.
You're like some kind of Man From Javalanta, destined to swim within oceans of piping hot joe.

Hey, at least it's not a work overload.
Yesterday, I had to re-interview for my third job because my boss retired and the new one had to know all of us.
Also, at my second job (the TV station), we are in the process of converting from VHS to DVD, and I have approximately 76 cubic feet of VHS to convert, one tape at a time. I gave up counting tapes at two hundred. I'm ballparking the total number of tapes at 900, each with approximately 4 hours of footage per tape. Going by these figures, it will take 600 days--close to two years--working six hours per day to finish the conversion. F@$$ing ridiculous. What's worse is that about half of the tapes are S-VHS, which can't be converted. So, because of this, I have to convert the S-VHS tapes to VHS, then convert THOSE to DVD.

Gotta remeber: don't breathe liquids.
Well, I've been in Florida, running around Disney/MGM/Animal Kingdom/Epcot/Sea World/Universal. I'm still in a haze... The "vacation" was so unreal on many levels.
Anyhoo, I'll be returning to normal operation here soon (I hope...)

Never that prolific but snowed under and having a crap time at work so I'm even more infrequent.
also I think Mothman might be right, it was manic for a while after the news..

Orlando is a freaky place, man.
Oh God, I can't even imagine what how bad it gets. I've always wanted to go to Disneyworld but haven't been able to talk anyone into coming with me. And now I'm just too scared of old people and little kids to do it. My brother's going during GSA Day in a few weeks. I bet that will be interesting.
I've been busy with school and finals and what not. Even though I'm not that prolific of a poster....
I just graduated and I'm back at my parents' place in CT. Trying to get my life started and figuring out how to get a D&D or Call of Cthulu game together.
I'm busy with decorating, work and sleeping.
Looks like the T-virus is working to me.
AWED has most likely been tripping on his own neurotransmitters.
I have been busy Mr. Shiny,in other words trying to beat Resident Evil 0

You ever have the urge to ride "Splash Mountain" on acid?
I'm at work, working. maybe?
I'm high on life, like Ted Nugent.
Actually, I suspect those are flashbacks he's high on, but close enough.
At rehab hoping to find a play by post.

Keep it up secreturchinman the paizo family got your back. You will have to check the PbP board.
I think we're all pretty much here, but still adjusting to the changes in the board layout as well as getting drawn into new threads that some of us have never made it back from. There are quite a bit of us working on writing projects as well (Werecabbages) to woo people with at Gen Con. We'll all be back. Don't fret.
Drowning in homework, work, and unpacking. Blech. And not-so-good news from the chiropractor.
I've been job hunting.
You know, I once met a girl that was everything I wanted out of a girl. She was smart and funny and amazingly cute, and she knew me when I was a fat little kid and moved away, and yet didn't dwell on that when she moved back in High School.
So I remember listening to her dreamily, moving in closer to her to kiss her, smelling the sweet smell of her perfume and touching the soft skin of her arms . . . then I notice a strange mark on her arm.
Out of the blue she says, "you know, you should never close your eyes when you are on an acid trip," wonders if we should go wait on the train tracks and try to dodge Amtracks, tells me how she carved her ex-boyfriends name in her stomach when he broke up with her, and tells me that she has run away from home a few times, but the cops keep finding her.
::Sigh:: thankfully my psycho alert was stronger than . . . other factors, and I ran like hell.
Wait . . . how did I get onto this topic?
Oh yeah . . . acid.
At any rate, my wife says I'm too strange without any outside help.
Newborn preemie...
O.O Hope everything is okay! Hugs n' kisses to your 1st level human! :)
You guys totally crack me up! I have to wonder what my kids think of their mom sitting in the office by herself laughing hysterically, and youtube isn't up on the screen.
Wonders about some girl who now has to explain her big KnightErrantJR scar on her stomach in addition to all those others...
As for me. Well I got a little bent outta' shape by the whole "no more Dragon" thing and took off for a while. Then as I started paying more attention to Pathfinder unfolding (and after a personal e-mail from Gary Teter asking me to stay...wow, huh?) I've been around more but not like before.
I've been running a couple of pbp campaigns and playing in a couple of others, but the wheels have fallen off a couple and the others are showing general signs of waning interest.
Oh and I've been romping around on Matrix Online--which is an awesome game.

On that, I find pacing is important. I've been quite conscious to keep up the pace on my pbp, and it seems to be going OK. I really enjoyed reading the pbp you were running - inspired me to do mine.
On mad girls carving names on their anatomy - never had that (bit of a turn-off, frankly) but did have the tattoo addict for a brief while. I was quite turned off by that too - I hate tattoos - but she was quite pretty. I won't say my psycho alert was tripped - but she wound me up so much our rowing broke us up. Thank God - getting married to someone quite sane on Saturday instead.

I love Jinx, they have such awesome stuff.
If you're the kind of guy who doesn't get health insurance and lives in flood zones, more power to you. I'm not here to convert anybody; we all have our own road to walk. Moff asks me questions; I'm happy to answer them--but if they're not for you, that's OK-- I respect you as a person anyway. Mevers scoffs at this "tolerance," but that's his choice.That's an interesting take on religion. It feels kind of like total utilitarianism. Don't get me wrong too--it's not like I don't enjoy Buddhism and the discussion of it. I'm really not trying to stomp you so much as get my foot in the door of a really interesting conversation. I just wonder about blanket claims like the apparently misquoted "life is suffering". Buddhism always has been kind of an enigma to me because it seemed very fatalistic and nihilistic. I've always found the idea that everything will be fine when it returns to wu wei (basically--though from what I understand wu wei is a taoist term) and basically ceases to exist a fairly somber sort of happy ending.
Also if I might for a second step in and mediate...I don't think the breakdown in the other conversation here has been about mevers thinking you're a degenerate subhuman--or even evil. In fact, I don't even think he would say you're a bad person. I think the entire scope of his thesis is that good doesn't cut it and that anyone who doesn't accept Christ is treated the same--good or evil. I'm not sure that this isn't more worrisome than if he thought you were subhuman, but there it is. Good people burn right along with the bad. Bad people get saved right along with the more bad (since in Christianity no one is good--just flavors of damnable). The worst thing about this whole thing is that it's so downright antiscriptural--weird for a religion that venerates the Bible so exclusively and so highly.
