A man said that to me in all seriousness yesterday. Intense and intent in his intention to 'poon that chandelier. I lead a magical life, I do.
Two straight days of happiness and adventure-the one more spectacular and greater than the other, but in the end, they were both good. I spent Saturday in Portland at an extended function for a vendor of ours. I drove up with Andrea, and we were there until almost midnight. Toured a warehouse, saw a friend, hassled family, and then went to an incredible party. Food and fun and mischief and music and people I know and people I don't and people I won't remember their names even though I shook their hands over and over and over. Sigh. I was up forever, I think I crossed the river 5 or 6 times, and I can honestly say without reservation that it was the most fun I've had since the party last year. Nonstop, endless, ridiculous fun. I'm still worn out.
So that was good, that was nice. Woke up tired the next day and had some of my nerds over for what ended up being one of the best games we've had in a long time.
Now, I've been doing this for a long time-gaming, I mean. And the FIRST rule...I mean first thing, before all of the others (there are others) is that no one wants to hear about it. No one wants to know about your magic sword or how you slew that wyvern (spellcheck don't like that word)...they just don't. So don't go telling stories to the straights, keep it to yourself and your fellow nerds. And it's too bad, straight people. Because some nights you miss out on are like last night, and I am so pleased and proud and happy to be sitting around rolling dice and talking sheer nonsense with the people I am. You know who you are-give yourselves a hand.
And for the rest of you...I'll be back at work on Wednesday. Get yourselves together by then.
