Meme + This Stuff.

[atolnon]

First, I'm going to borrow a meme that I've seen crop up. asimaiyat and q99 both posted it, and it makes me a little happy, so Post a comment, and I will reply with one or two reasons why I think you're great. In return, you have to post this same meme on your blog and comment for other people.

You don't have to post it if you don't want to. I can't enforce that.

Lots of little shit, not too much specific gaming shit. My Revised Burning Wheel books are in, so now I've got the Monster Burner and the Magic Burner. I don't really even know if I need these, but I wasn't really going to have another chance and I think they're excellent books. I skipped the Adventure Burner. I feel pretty confident in running if I need to run. My four Wrath of God cards came in for Magic : the Gathering, as well. They weren't very expensive at all because, I think, they're really not the be all and end all of the environments they're legal in. They are excellent, though, for the kind of casual Vintage or Legacy formats they're legal in. When you're just bumming around and flipping cards, wiping the board for 2WW is still great.

I've been really busy at the Bistro. This whole business is currently wrapped up. We had kind of an underground get together where we played Rock Band on the Bistro televisions while hitting the remaining stock up with some friends and Frank's liquor distributor (who sang Dio's 'Rainbow in the Dark' for additional epicness). The Jenna got to stand on the bar surface like she'd always wanted to sing Rock Band and the rest of us finally got to play video games on bar big screens while drinking free beer.

And on Friday, we ended up taking the remaining stock back in to the apartment, so it looks like we robbed a fucking liquor store. I'm not even playing. We have boxes of opened and unopened liquor and wine bottles just sitting wherever. I have absolutely no desire even to pretend to start in on that.

Actually, I've made huge cutbacks in my drinking. It's just become terribly boring and I don't even really like being drunk, now that I think of it. I guess I haven't stopped drinking in total, but it's almost down to the same level as my dessert or soda consumption which, if you know me, is pretty low indeed.

I've always seen you be really supportive of others while, at the same time, I've never seen you be a jerk to someone else. On the internet, where I see a lot of people almost go out of there way to be inconsiderate, I really respect that and I think it says a lot about your character.

And, if I may be a little self-serving, I like that you're always posting little snippits of interesting clips or pictures and stuff online. I could go mad without stuff to look at, and I'm tied to my chair doing work that I could probably do in my sleep. The stuff you post to LJ tends to make my life just a little bit easier, and I always appreciate that.

Thanks ^^ That makes me feel good.

It's partially self-serving on my end, I'd get bored if I didn't find and post stuff occasionally ^^

Yes, please validate my ego. :)

And I think you've made a good call about drinking. One thing I've occasionally said to people is that I don't worry too much about becoming an alcoholic because I enjoy drinking too much. For me having a drink or two is something for a special social occasion, to go with a really good meal or, every once in a while, as comfort after a spectacularly difficult day. Whereas to, say, my father, being drunk is the default state, and it doesn't feel good to drink, it just feels bad not to. I imagine that's a scarily slippery slope to find oneself on, and I can definitely sympathize with wanting to stay well away from it.

One of the things that first caused me to notice you by name on RPG.net was that you'd frequently be making these really well thought out and well crafted posts about all kinds of things, but especially about issues like privilege, women's rights, and LBGTQ rights in a way that I was really able to understand and way better then I could. I remembered thinking, "Man, I'm glad she's around, because I don't even have the endurance to have this conversation." even when I did post.

Since then, I've gotten a lot out of just about everything you write. You just generally sound like a really cool and friendly person.
