For all of you who are curious why you act in certain ways, I recommend The Myers Briggs Personality test

There are 16 different personalities and I find(tested it on myself) its fairly accurate in describing you. That being said, some of you may find it uncomfortable sharing the results with others, which I understand since personalities are quite private things.
Theory of Myers Briggs.

INTP here. Which probably explains a lot.

(Except for that whole lazy thing. That's just insulting for no good reason. Paralyzed by indecision and lazy are very different problems)

Lynora – you need to delegate the workload. You can’t be everywhere at one time. Failing that, then you’ll just need to accept that’s the best you can do.

Yeah, it's more the acceptance thing. My husband is up to his eyeballs in work projects. The kidlet is up to his eyeballs in homework. And even if they weren't, they're not much good at arts and crafts. Or cooking and baking. I mean, they try, but it's not what you would call a talent. And definitely not going to take up sewing. The poor kidlet freaks out every time I use the sewing machine because he's afraid I'm going to sew my fingers. No matter how many times I've showed him that this is literally impossible on my machine. I've used the older models where it wasn't impossible and never had it happen with those either. (I sincerely miss that old machine from the 50s that I learned on. Best sewing machine ever. You could do anything with that machine. It had no safety features at all. I was sad when my mom gave it away.) So yeah, basically, I need to accept that sometimes I have to buy some ready made things because I need sleep and such. :P

love those machines. Heavily associate them with my dad.

Freehold also likes Anime as a general topic. He could go on for hours, especially for a series like My Little Pony (MLP). And Video / Computer Games like the Final Fantasy series. And MechWarrior. And so on.

this is true.

I would not be surprised to find out they were the same person. Or somehow related. Or one of those weird situations where their wives look EXACTLY alike.

I swear, my family is bound and determined to kill me off through sheer stress so they can inherit my debt massive wealth.

As I've mentioned, NobodysWife has a fairly open feud with my sister-in-law, all caused, fomented, stoked, and encouraged by my gossip-happy mother, who never met a soul she couldn't say something nasty about behind their back.

Needless to say, NobodysWife is extremely sensitive to our family dynamics as a result. A good portion of her wants to disown them all, but she also knows that I feel that family is extremely important (paladin of Erastil and all), so she's willing to see how our nephews grow up.

Today I got a care package from my mother with our Christmas gifts. One for me, one for Impus Minor, and one for Impus Major.

Yep. My own mother did not send my wife a Christmas present, but made sure everyone else got one!

And the saddest part? I know exactly what happened: She was planning on getting gifts for the kids, went to the store to get them, saw something she thought I'd like, picked it up, and sent it all out, not for a moment considering the fact that she was implicitly snubbing NobodysWife.

And now I have to calm the whole thing down.

Stoopid family!

if it helps I am the same way. I see things people would like and get them for them. Sometimes this means I have something for everyone but one person, other times it means someone gets 7 of something and everyone else goes without. I'm sorry, Nobodyswife.

aww old history channel was actually good.

[gran rey de los mono]

My players enjoyed my version of Captain Bloodtusk tonight, but just talking in that voice hurt so much that I didn't even try to perform Come Sail Away. Maybe next week, if I can get to it early enough that my throat isn't wrecked.

[gran rey de los mono]

Another highlight was when one of the players asked the coxswain (don't laugh at that) if there were any "rules of the sea" that they should know. The coxswain (I said don't laugh) replied "Rule number 1: This is a river, not the sea. Rule number 2: Don't fall in."

And the kobold merchant also earned some laughs.

What can I say? The good Baron is rubbing off on me.

[gran rey de los mono]

Some guys just came through my lobby and one of them asked "Are you going to be having a fire tonight?" I said "I really hope not."

He meant in the fireplace. Oops.

You mean ... Twenty four hours of training videos, with exams? Where a failure starts the whole cycle over?

Happy Birthday, Freehold!
I'd find a cake to jump out of, but it's too far to the top of the next page.

Give a man a fish, you keep him fed for a day.
Teach a man how to fish, he sits in a boat and drinks beer all day long.

Give a man a fire, you keep him warm for the night.
Set him on fire, you keep him warm for the rest of his life.

Don’t try the second. Really.

Glad your players enjoyed captain bloodtusk. I can't even do voices :(

When life gives you lemons, kick that bastard in the nuts and shout "I ordered a beer, you *$#&*&@^@&*(*()&$&*^$^#&*@*@()@*(@**(@&(*&# ^$&*^&*#@(@*)@(*@!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

And if life gives you melons, you may be dyslexic.

I'm not particularly good at voices, but it can be fun sometimes.

A GM I used to play with tried to do an Australian accent for a character and missed slightly. Instead, he went redneck. Like Bubba J redneck. It made for an interesting conversation.

There are two reasons I don't usually give money to homeless people.
1) I think they may spend it on alcohol.
2) I want to spend it on alcohol.

Oh, nice! What other swords do you have?

Er...

3 x tulwars, which, luckily, you can pick up pretty cheap (all sharp)

2 x sidesword trainers, one steel, one nylon;

1 x Hungarian sabre trainer;

A kukri (sharp)

Three or four knives & daggers, some sharp, some trainers.

Various accessories, like shields and whathaveyou.

I work full-time, have no kids, do Historical European Martial Arts, and like swords quite a lot...

Nice collection!

Have you ever tried an arming sword?

I have - a number of my friends and acquaintances have them. I tend to concentrate on Renaissance-era stuff, though, where a more complex hilt is generally used, and when I do use an arming sword, I end up putting my finger over the cross-guard anyway, which means I get whacked on the finger a lot...

Do you have one, blunt or sharp?

Happy birthday Freehold!

[Just a Mort]

So how was your birthday, Freehold?

I can only do irritating, high pitched squeaky gnome voice. The kind of voice you get when you breathe in a helium balloon.

*notes down that talking about firearms is politics*

It's not firearms in general that's political, but rather the banning or prohibition of such. It's a highly, highly, HIGHLY politicized issue in the US and a few other places, one that can get EXTREMELY volatile.

OMG. Like, I have a gun, but I'm decidely neutral on the entire issue of gun control and go to great lengths to avoid the topic because it's such a minefield, and I just keep getting dragged in. I straight up tell people to leave me out of that argument and they don't.

Happy birthday Freehold, hopefully it doesn't get marred by flaming bikes.

Is there a reason why the artillery fires bikes and not something else?

[gran rey de los mono]

I love this video.

Because Freehold rides a bike. I think. Maybe. I don't really know. Luckily though his hatred of math means he can't calculate trajectory very well and so you're not in much danger of being hit.

An inability to accurately calculate trajectory is made irrelevant by a sufficiently large barrage fired at enough different angles

so far it has been restful. I slept for 7 hours. About to shave. Have a party with free food and booze tonight so I think it is going to be AMAZING overall.

because flaming bikes are awesome and result in considerable pain, not death.
