Ultra-social weekends!
17 years ago
So apparently last weekend's Rainfurrest excursion was not enough for my social life. Friday, I returned to my regular roleplaying group (the Call of Cthulhu session they'd done in my absence was in canon as a nightmare of one of the party members) and had lots of fun and delicious lasagna made by Caytlin.
Then Saturday I spend the evening, far into the wee hours of the morning, first generating a character for a different group's campaign (Star Wars system in the Star Fox galaxy!), starting at the same level as the rest of the group--level 10, the highest level I've ever had a character for in a tabletop system. But wait! Around noon that same day, my brother had come over wanting to hang out... and in a wonderful bit of nostalgia, we played a bunch of Super Mario Bros. 3 together, just as we'd used to do years 'pon years ago.
Then Sunday, I ran a cute bronze dragon hatchling through Shadowfang Keep--though Lupiko the Tauren Druid is higher level, the AoE stylings of Shisno the Sin'dorei Blood Knight make for much faster clearing of Azeroth instances. And then Sam invites me over for dinner and anime, so we order Indian and I watch Haibane Renmei while being distracted by her playing Spore on my laptop.
So yeah... LOADS of social time. And the only time I felt I was having too much of it, was Rainfurrest's Saturday babyfur party. I couldn't define quite what I was feeling except as "overstimulated," I just needed some more sedate time to myself around then.
And now I am EXHAUSTED from work. I didn't even do anything strenuous on mind nor body... I just haven't been able to get to bed on time for a while. I'm going to go take a nap, I think. I found myself almost dozing at my desk, so I obviously haven't gotten enough sleep.
Lastly, I got Disgaea for the DS today. Why, in cases meant for distribution in the U.S. and (apparently) Canada... do they put the manual at the back of the stack, the Health and Safety Warning which by now everybody's seen in the middle... and the FRENCH manual on top?! I mean, every other video game manual I've seen with multilingual translations has them all bound together!! Did I get a cartridge that was supposed to be sent to Quebec or something?!
