Eh. Something.

Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls of all ages. I don't have anything particular to say today. I just know that it's been a while since I've written here (I've been keeping a journal instead) and I just sort of have that "MUST WRITE SOMETHING" urge.

My new glasses came today. They're a lot stronger than what I'm used to, and they've also got rims along the bottom (my old ones were rimless). They're pretty cool, actually. The color is called "turtle" and they look like Clark Kent glasses or something. Kind of dorky, almost, but I like it. The only downside is that they forced me to actually stop and consider my appearance so: "Damn, I need a hair-cut..." and "the fuck is going on with this torn-ass sweater" are a few things that grabbed my attention.

As any of you readers who know me likely already know, I got those Dresden Files books. They're awesome. A cream dream. There's so much information in them that I can't begin to coherently do any work with the game because  I'm jumping around so damn much. "Omg Denarians--Wow, Channeling is kind of cool. How does hexing work? Mouse is a scion? Why bother statting Butters?" Etc, etc. As you can imagine, with all this kind of detailed-meaty stuff to read I've been too distracted to stop and JUST read the rules first. But whatever, I've got awhile until any of my potential group members are anywhere near ready. Also, Character/City creation is meant to be done together as a group, so all I can do right now is conceptualize my characters. Plus, chances are I'm going to be the GM, so any characters I make will just be NPC allies and enemies of the PC's.

On a decidedly unrelated note, I hate people with poor communication skills. You try and try to get ahold of them, and when you finally do, they either misinterpret what you're trying to say, make little sense, or spontaneously drop the contact and abruptly move onto something else.

For someone who tends to have an ordered mind, it's maddening.

Anyway, more reading to be done.
