9:14 am	New Years Game So here we are again. Getting ready for the holidays and I find myself looking more forward to the new years gaming session than to the commercial holiday that precedes it. We'll be having several friends down for the annual game. Once again, the concept started as a whimsy, but takes on a force of it's own. Previous years have featured such things as the Choco-zombies from the Saruman and the Chocolate factory game. This year it has taken a bit of a darker turn. I'm looking forward to running it as it will be a bit more serious. Not that there isn't room for humor and joking. The point to these games isn't so much serious gaming, but rather a chance for friends to get together, tell tales, joke and spend time together around the game table without having to worry so much about "will my character that I have spent so much time on survive the session?". For me, it's just fun to be able to entertain my friends. This year the title is "Don't kill the messenger" and it starts with the characters in a city that has been besieged for over a year by an Orcish Horde. Just the perfect place for a few good friends to meet. Don't ya tink? ::wicked grin:: Current Mood: amused (1 Comment |Comment on this)

6:08 pm	Reality Once again I find myself back here. I don't know quite what it is I'm feeling. Is it grief? Anger? Mostly I find myself not quite able to focus on anything. My father died wednesday. Kind of a bald statement, yes? It leaves out all the details. Like how he had tried to run my life for most of my adult years. How he had never accepted the fact that I had grown up while he wasn't looking. I did not hate the man, just wanted some acceptance of the fact that I had grown up. I guess I'll never get that from him now. Every time I saw him, most of what he had to say to me was condecending or hurtful. I could never please him. I think it would have killed him to have told me that I was doing ok. I cry when I allow myself to think of him, and I don't quite know why. Is it grief? Or anger that I will never get the acceptance that really was the only thing I wanted from him. I would never have been able to be who he wanted me to be. I am too different from the rest of my family. But it would have been nice to just once have heard "You are different from me, but that's ok." My wife came down with the boys. Just dropped everything, called in favors from friends and came to help me cope. I work out of town you see. So we normally only get to see each other once every 2 weeks. That's almost over now. We're moving the family down closer to where I work. but if it wasn't for her, I don't know if I could have handled things as well as I am. Not that I'm really doing well. That will take a long time to sort out. (Comment on this)

5:49 pm	Moving blues I'm kind of new to this whole journal thing, so bear with me. I'm currently in the middle of one of the strangest moves I have ever made. I'm not used to the whole concept of having a place available for weeks before having to be out of the old one and it is confusing me. I'm sitting here in my friends basement in wichita, while my wife and sons are at the place we've been living in Baldwin City. Tomorrow I will be packing the stuff I have stored here. After work of course. Then driving it all up to Hutchinson. Then I have to stop at the courthouse to fill out paperwork for city utilities. Why they can't just do business over the phone like the normal utilities I don't know. Then I have to get over to the new house and start unloading while I wait for the person from the Gas company. Once they have turned on the gas and checked the house to verify that all is well, I can drive back down to wichita and crash before having to be at work in the morning. Anyhow, enough of this. Later. (1 Comment |Comment on this)
