Home today for a worrying medical problem and an exceedingly unpleasant doctor appointment.  If the problem doesn’t resolve swiftly, there will be more unpleasant doctor appointments.

Little things – morning person

Aya is definitely a morning person.

After all, she was born at 6 am sharp, five days early. Why wait for the day to get old?

On weekdays, she usually gets up in the morning sometime between 6 am and 7 am. She trudges down the hall, knuckling her sleepy eyes and dragging both blankie and [...]

As much ranting as I do about Forum RP, there really are some absolute gems out there at Dragon’s Mark. In no particular order, here are a few Free Form RP stories I’ve been enjoying lately:

The Trial of Renna the Betrayer (Renna the Betrayer & Lt. Cowrie, Briarius, Jewell Ravenlock)

And the sands are bright

The water is calm and still below,
For the winds and waves are absent there,
And the sands are bright as the stars that glow

Play By Post Pet Peeves – Make it meaningful!

If you’re going to take the time to write up something for a Play-by-Post roleplaying game or Forum RP, make it meaningful.

Virago

One of Dictionary.com’s recent Word of the Day postings was virago:

virago \vuh-RAH-go; vuh-RAY-go\, noun:

2. A woman regarded as loud, scolding, ill-tempered, quarrelsome, or overbearing.

I chuckled over the definition, then trailed off as a moment of blushing realization dawned; between those two descriptions, I have all of my [...]
