The bus trip home was fairly benign. I astound myself, the way I'm so antisocial. I rode a bus and walked over ten blocks next to someone going to the Greyhound terminal, same as I was, and didn't say a word to 'em. And here I sit, wondering why I have so few friends.
I arrive home to discover that my family was actually there on time to pick me up -- miracle! It seems my mother has finally decided to give up smoking. This is something we children have pestered her about for years.
Of course, she isn't doing it for us. She's doing it so it won't screw up her cosmetic surgery in a couple months. Aaaaaaaargh.
Most of the vacation, however, consisted of ROLE-PLAYING! ROLE-PLAYING! ROLE-PLAYING! YAAAAAAAY!
The Alternity Game:
The Alternity game starred me and Pete; I was the genius Academy dropout with a knack for technology; he was the alien diplomat, famous and adored. By the end of the game we had captured a military vehicle and a ship that had tried to take the vehicle from us. Good stuff, but it was quickly lost to...
NATE'S 3rd Edition D&D GAME!
Our first 3rd Edition experience! Quite frankly, I was skeptical about 3rd Edition, but I have to give it credit -- fun and simple! I played Vargas, a larger-than-life rogue with a deafening laugh and a swagger. The other players, both idiots, insisted constantly he was gay. Gah.
DRAGON'S ILL-PLANNED, CURRENTLY-DENIED GAME
Oh, god. ::cries::
DRAGON'S THIRD EDITION GAME
After I swore I would never run another game again, they made me run this one. Within thirty minutes, the paladin pushed the wizard to his death. I renewed my vow to never run a game for these people again.
Christmas was really kind of blah. I got more clothes than anything else. My grandfather sent my sister $50, and me nothing... My father sent nothing. Lucky I had absolutely no expectations of anything better.
New Year's consisted solely of me demonstrating how well I could use Pikachu in Super Smash Brothers.
Pikaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!And here I am. :D
Any questions?
