Primary issue on the table : Exalted follow-up.
We played Exalted from 7 to about 11:30, and we ended up running into some serious problems like I feared. Even though I know the game is being setup to favor a sense of delayed gratification, which I appreciate even as I continue to anticipate it, so far our Abyssals have been stymed at every single thing we've accomplished. We've been played for dupes, stomped on by province gods, and shown up by existing power bases, and yelled at by our superiors.
Frankly, we're being played for chumps. So, I'm going to have to say that I know what are ST is doing, and I respect that but it's pretty frustrating to actually have to play it out. We're a pretty disfunctional group that isn't fully sure of what our strengths are yet, to boot, so we don't work very well together yet. Anyway, we didn't make the assault on the Golden Throne of our previous, more-powerful Solar characters, so we've got at least one more epic failure that we can't avoid before we can expect any success in our endeavors. So, ok, I'm not a big fan of this game at the moment; it feels like the only one so far where we've been setup to fail. I guess we'll see as time goes on.
My week has been wicked busy since Wednesday night. I don't expect it to slow down until Saturday night when my primary goal'd be relaxation. I guess I'm only posting because I was doing some speculation on ST styles, and the results seem to have made themselves quickly manifest.

Also can you relay this message to Violet for me.
Hey Violet, it's Crystal. I hope you are doing okay. I tried calling, but I don't think that you still have the same number. If you wanted to know, I had my baby, he's three months old now. I named him Dexter. As always, if you ever want to talk, you know how to get a hold of me. I'd welcome conversation with another adult that isn't my husband or baby talk.

It seems awkward for me to leave a message in this way, but given everything, it seems ok. Vi has her own LJ, and I'll point her in your direction. I'll let her know again. I feel it's been so long the momentum is difficult to recover. Naturally, I'll make the endeavor on your part.

So do you think I'm trying to get into contact with her for nothing? I mean, honestly do you think she even wants to talk to me?

Though, I might make a request that messages like this are sent using the mail function. I don't mind, but these can be harder to keep track of.
