Update

So I've mostly bounced back from Tuesday's news. Things are returning to quasi-normal.

In a crisis, I explode. Then I put the pieces back together very quickly. I've mentally reorganized the next half-year, and quietly gone back to writing and working, which seems to be my life.

I've gotten ten pages written on the not-novel, and thinking about how I'll revise novel #1 when the second copy returns my way.

Tonight, I'm happy. I read A Midsummer Night's Dream -- Shakespeare's most fun comedy. And the anime we're watching would probably make anyone feel better about their own life.

I got a lot of writing done. I'm feeling appreciated at work. And -- and this will only make sense to 7 people on my friends-list -- I've learned a trick to dodging lightning. Sadly, this trick requires me to have my eyes open, which is more than I can manage tonight, so I shall have to save it for tomorrow. I can't seem to get past 60 bolts in my sonambulant state.

There shall be no game this weekend because [livejournal.com profile] montrealais will be at an NDP conference helping to hammer out the gay socialist agenda ^_^

If my erstwhile players are interested, I could go for another round of that game we played last time.

If you actually do the 200 bolts of lightning I'll buy you the cookie of your choice (just about the only reward I can afford right now).

Glad to hear there is progress on the not-novel. Hopefully, I'll get my hands on a copy of the Novel soon. (Every time I think of your novel, I imagine an intelligent, thinking being and it's getting kind of weird.)

Sadly, I, like [livejournal.com profile] montrealais, am also headed out to St-Clain-clain-de-Meu-Meu, to Save The World From Fascism. Apparently, if I'm gonna be handling the lucre, I also have to show up for the boring things. :p

o_o; Care to enlighten the rest of us about the lightning?

OMG that sounds like torture... my shrink wants me to practice being patient, and I'm all up for that, but holy crap... 200 strikes to dodge, I doubt I could endure it. When you get that I'm going to be so proud of you! I might try it myself one day when I'm a bit more stable... or I could go buy FFX right now and try it... Hehe.

Congratulations!! (throws confetti). Good job :)

And yeah, maybe I'll wait on doing it myself :P

Just out of curiosity, have you ever considered doing a "tabletop" game online? I've previously successfully run a cinematic GURPS game over IRC, and I'm thinking it's about time for me to try one again. Be happy to fill in with some quick entertainment for you lot while your other players have donned their superhero gear and flown off to defeat the Radioactive Intolerant Killer Robots From Mars, or whatever they're doing. ^_^
