Once More, Men, Onto the Bridge!

It happened again. I knew I should never have let myself get this weak. But it happened again. Damnit. This pisses me off. Yeah, I bear very little ill will towards the individual in question, and that may in fact be part of the problem. This individual could walk up to me, slap me in the face, and my first thought would be "That was understandable." Yeah, it's understandable, but that doesn't mean I'm not saddened and angry at the same time. Doesn't it suck when the one thought, the one individual who has been your mind's solace each lonely night totally betrays you? I've made my bead of knives (a bed of nails is too comfortable), so now I had best lie in it. More later. So yeah, love's a bitch.

Yet another Quiz Result

I got this from one of my friends. Basically, it's a D & D thing, asking what type of character you would play.

Alignment:
Chaotic Evil characters are the most 'evil' people out there. They are willing to do anything to get ahead, and will kill anyone who stands in their way. A chaotic evil person sees no value in order and governments, and believes to the utmost in the tenant that 'Might Makes Right'.

Race:
Humans are the 'average' race. They have the shortest life spans, and because of this, they tend to avoid the racial prejudices that other races are known for. They are also very curious and tend to live 'for the moment'.

Primary Class:
Mages harness the magical energies for their own use. Spells, spell books, and long hours in the library are their loves. While often not physically strong, their mental talents can make up for this.

Secondary Class:
Thieves are the most roguish of the classes. They are sneaky and nimble-fingered, and have skills with traps and locks. While not all use these skills for burglary, that is a common occupation of this class.

Deity:
Velsharoon is the Neutral Evil god of necromancy, liches, and undeath. He is also known as the Vaunted, the Archmage of Necromancy, and the Lord of the Forgotten Crypt. His followers practice the necromantic arts, and raise the dead to do their bidding. His symbol is a crowned skull.

Okay, so how does that stack up with reality? First of all, alignment: yes, I'm chaotic evil. Chaotic neutral if I'm feeling nice. Race: human, yeah, gotta' love the bonus feats. Class: kinda'. I don't play mage per se, but rather Warlock, which is basically a caster who draws his or her powers from a demonic source. Not exactly spells, mind you, but invocations. They are more limited in scope, but are unlimited in number of times they can be cast. Secondary class: not so much thief as Acolyte of the Skin. Deity: sounds about right, though when in Eberron, I prefer the Shadow.

Which Fantasy/SciFi Character Are You?

I Come Forth!

The Fourth of July was this past weekend, so here is the ever-so-brief rundown. Originally, I had planned to journey out to Levenworth to see the woman, but that fell through, so I was stuck here in Spokanistan. Fortunately, the Gemedet across the parking lot was also similarly ditched for the holiday, so it was the two of us. Friday night saw us getting pizza and playing for hours on end, followed by some Samurai Warriors followed by some Full Metal Panic. An interesting anime, to say the least. More on that later. We then parted ways for the evening. Saturday morning, we decided to head downtown to that geek mecca that is Merlyn's. There, I found a fuzzy d12 for my car. Mwa ha ha ha ha. We then went to lunch at O'Daugherty's, which was most excellent. It was then that we returned and had leftover pizza for dinner and watched Appleseed, again, a most excellent film. After the movie, we retired to our respective domiciles. Sunday, we went to Fizzie's for dinner and drinks, and then just watched some more Full Metal Panic. Monday (the day itself), we decided that barbeque would be good, so we went to the grocery store, bought ourselves a rack of ribs, and then went back to the pad to sup upon the roasted flesh. Oh, was that ever good. Gemedet had splurged a few months ago on a stash of highly explosive and illegal fireworks, so we decided that it would be a really cool thing to set them off. Because Spokane County had banned the detonation of fireworks and other such explosives, we decided to go up to Long Lake (on the Stevens side, mind you), where there was this park where lots of people set off their arsenals. However, it must be mentioned that this was a "members-only" park. On the other hand, getting in meant simply passing the brusque interrogation of one guy sitting at the entrance ("Are you guys members, or guests of members?" to which I replied simply, "Guests." Not technically a lie, as we were guests of the park, but that may perhaps be splitting hairs). We got our stuff set up, and proceeded to blow the stuffing out of our fireworks, and had a grand old time. No one was hurt, and we had an appreciative audience. There is something about the Fourth of July/Independence Day that turns an otherwise sensible and sane individual into a raving pyromaniac, and Gemedet is a case in point. He was practically cackling with mad delight as he lit off each mortar, launched each bottle rocket, and shot off each Roman Candle. Granted, I myself am not immune to these effects, but it is curious. At any rate, a good time was had by all, though we only ended up using about half of his arsenal. Granted, the reason for that was that we ran out of lighter fluid, but there was little to be done about that. Oh well. It was fun. Tuesday, I basically relaxed, and then picked G-Fate up at the airport. And here I am. For the Sanada Clan!
