I've kept busy this week, and that was the goal. I was downright wholesome this week so far and did all the stuff I was supposed to, going to bed at decent hours, ect, et al. Do I get a cookie? My future's still up in the air, and there's not too much I can do about it at this point, so there's not too much point worrying about it now.
I was wicked frustrated yesterday. I came off of work with a headache and headed home to rendevous with Frank to drive to O'Fallon and play Warcraft, but he was neither there, nor did he appear soon afterwards, nor answer his phone. About half an hour there, I called the DM to see if everything was square, and he was already there. He'd just left his phone off and everyone was waiting for me, so off I went, 10 minutes late.
In previous games, I couldn't succeed at anything, really. This game I was actually able to make a few rolls over 10, and thus actually kind of participate. I play in a game where one player dual-wields pistols and another is an ogre-orc crossbreed with a giant axe, so pretty much nothing I do is going to make me the main damage guy, which is fine. I've got the vast majority of the skills ranks, providing they're useful. I'm still holding out for them to do anything besides delay an inevitable combat for a few minutes.
I did have to end the game about halfway through. That's my bane. I have work and they run the game on a Wednesday night. I get a good idea of what it's like to play in a game at our place, because I take off early and wake up to find evidence that my roommate returned like, 4 hours later. I'm pretty sure that everyone just gets hammered after I leave, and it kind of makes me glad that I just leave early since that would ruin me the next day.
We had a second game, and it's confirmed that it's not going through. Can't really blame the DM for that, since he's getting married, then moving, then a bunch of the other players arn't available.... and it's just a huge headache. Now, my schedule is fine with just one game a week, and it saves me a lot of headaches, so I may actually either wait or just make it once a month until the other game's over. Running and playing takes way more then just two days out of my week, in the overall.
The rest of the week - maybe one busy day, then housekeeping, FFXI (providing my machine doesn't brick), and messing about with Brent's nExalted thing a bit, probably. I kinda wanna call it AltExalt.
