I CAN'T HEEEAR YOUUUU--okay why are you shouting? · 6:29pm Aug 8th, 2015
I work with ex-military types, retired Master Chiefs mostly. And to deal with them you just gotta--I dunno how to describe it. They're not bullies (mostly), but they're forceful and their sense of humor is rough and you don't just have to be able to take it, you have to dish it out, too. At least a little. Not too much, because they're in charge. But if you can't give as you get then they won't respect you.
So after a full day of dealing with these assholes stout yeomen, I come to this place full of gentle kind souls and I hear myself talking and I think who IS this asshole?
It's hard to throttle back all of a sudden.
Fortunately I'm hanging with Bad Horse. So I offend only the best people.
All of which is by way of telling GaPJaxie hey, I'm REAALY sorry about the monkey Joke.
I am massively envious of your current location and your choice of company. Ah, to be a fly on that wall...

We spent Friday night in Quills and Sofas playing "I, Dark Overload," a round-Robin storytelling game in which we all pretend to be evil minions explaining to our boss why the caper went wrong. I think I got a little too into character. DAMN YOU MADAME STANISLAVSKY!

I played Münchhausen with a bunch of FimFic guys (Bad Horse, CiG, RainbowBob, a lot of other people whose Skype nicks and FimFic nicks differ so I can't remember them[1]) over Sykpe a few times and it was marvelous fun. I'm sure it would be even more fun to play something of that sort in person...
Mm.
Envy. It's a terrible thing.
[1] Sorry guys...

I am drinking a Redbreast in your honor. Unless you'd rather it were something else. I could drink that too
I have absolutely missed seeing you this entire con, unless I have and I just missed the name tag.
MY T-SHIRT STRATEGY IS NOT WORKING

Oh man, I so badly want in on that action.

Well it could probably be organized sometime soon. I don't know who'll be interested but at least a few people are bound to be.

Boy howdy. Ed really kicked up a storm in that game. It was pretty awesome watching the geekery unfold before me, watching Ed get so into roleplaying.
Me? I was Koglypt. I dunno what in the hell were these words I was trying to jam together, but I'm assuming Koglypt would be a homonculus. One of supreme failure. Like, I was purposely trying to be incompetent, and I'm pretty sure I got a death glare from Bad Horse immediately, but I don't think anyone actually noticed, so I failed at failing :B Multiple times? I dunno. I was paying more attention to Ed and "Ellen". Definitely ain't helpful that I kinda suck at talking :P

So then, regarding that red "NOM NOM NOM" Green Eggs and Ham shirt you were wearing at that dinner, I should have offered you ketchup flavoured 'tater chips, a proud Canadian staple. Hmm... I see...

I have never had those, but given French fries, it seems like a reasonable thing. Merely a different preparation of the same basic tastes.
