I found this while going through old IM logs to try to pull some details together about the New Hellions Academy of Rhydin.
In addition to some amazingly goofy and cringe-worthy roleplay which we shall pretend never happened, I found a heated discussion between Lil and I about an instance of god-moding. Our plans [...]
If you’re not worried, you should be.
About what? Lots of things.
Right now, coughing my way out of another upper respiratory infection, I’m worried about the flu.
The next influenza pandemic is probably just a matter of time.
Unfortunately, the prevailing sentiment among those I work with is complete nonchalance about a worldwide flu pandemic. Granted, these are [...]
On the surface, the Rhydin Governor Election at Dragon’s Mark is just a popularity contest. However, a lot of players are crying foul.
The broadest concern is that from the start, government always has been left deliberately vague in Rhydin. This whole election idea was spawned by the Dueling folks, and I understand the Rings of [...]
I had the hiccups for over two hours, and was getting increasingly frustrated when Ebonfenix provided the remedy.
[21:45] Ebonfenix: then think of this… as shown on both sides of my family over four generations the genes that led to me produced progressively more intelligent offspring… so imagine the ones that would follow me… then again [...]
I admit it. Cat pictures make me relaxed, and LOLcats make me laugh. So, I end up checking i can has cheezburger at least once a day, usually three or four. It’s cheap stress relief.
This one struck me with some absolutely appropriate wording. The cat obviously is enamored of its tail and is completely gone, [...]
I can’t get interested in the private lives of celebrities. Actors, models, even rock stars – – – they’re there to put on a show, to entertain with their creativity and talent. Is today’s talent so mediocre that celebrities can only entertain with the bizarre circus of their personal drama?
In other words, who the hell [...]
Aya knows how to use a digital camera, operate Brian’s MP3 player, and call me on Brian’s cell phone. She can install CD-ROM games on her own computer and surf through her favorite sites on the internet – usually PBS Kids, My Little Pony, Barbie, and Nick Jr. She is quite blase about using a [...]
When clouds are seen, wise men put on their cloaks;
When great leaves fall, then winter is at hand;
When the sun sets, who doth not look for night?

There’s an interesting thread at Dragon’s Mark (Where the Wind Takes You) discussing this question:
“How much do you control when it comes to your character and how much do you let yourself be guided by your character him/herself?”
Alysia Skye was an unformed character – literally a child – when I first started [...]
It seems like I’ve been hit with more colds since losing weight.
Post antibiotics, I was healthy again for about a week, during which time Brian came down with some sort of upper respiratory infection. He suffered through three days of sniffles, sneezes, and aches and promptly recovered. Now, despite fanatically washing my hands, increasing [...]
