Backlight Needed...
Been really busy with work lately, had some consulting on Friday, but came back into work even though the weather was super shitty. Emilie and I were going to go to Koto, but didn't, we might have gotten Chinese but I can't quite remember...I don't think we did, actually we went to Wings and got our usual.

I got Lunar Silver Star Story from my cousin on Wednesday, unfortunately I've not had time to play it, and won't for some time. It's sitting in my queue of games to play around spot 75 or so. I'll probably have to use some guide from the internet although I will poke around on eBay and see if they have anything.

This coming Tuesday I am finally going to do that Xserve/Xserve RAID consulting with a group of CSIs (Crime Scene Investigators...), that's going to be wicked awesome. Hopefully it's going to be pretty straight forward.

I've actually not touched many computers out of work, mostly because when I get home I am dead tired and I just watch a movie, get something to eat and pass out haha It sucks, but that's how it is, that's mostly why I am writing this at 2:30am, I just randomly woke up and I figured I might as well write something...

I 've been slowly reading my Feb. edition of NewType, collecting names of animes that I might enjoy, I got the new one done by the guys who made FLCL, hopefully it's good. Emilie and I watched the first episode of Ah! My Goddess last night before going to bed at 9pm (we were very tired). I enjoyed it, not sure if she did, but I would think she did.

We went to Koto last night, I told myself I was going to try sushi, I didn't. But I did get cucumber rolls. Wasn't a fan of the smell of the seaweed, but other then that, I enjoyed them. So I know I can get myself past the smell of the seaweed, so maybe I'll try sushi sometime :) I did love the cucumber rolls though, I got a new favorite thing! They were cute lol.

I think today (Sunday) I will get my taxes done, I am kinda excited to use TurboTax, I've never used it before! I also want to play some Super Paper Mario...I got a guide for Eternal Sonata last night. I was going to get Resident Evil 4 and Resident Evil: Outbreak Files #2, but I ended up getting Dawn of Mana. I definitely will get those Resident Evil games at some point though.

So if you've made it this far in my dull post, I have a question I've been meaning to ask for sometime now...what is this whole RP stuff everyone is doing? I never really understood it and the point of it...it seems like a girl thing, I've never seen guys do it (I am sure there are some that do though...). Ok, if anyone could shed some light on that, I'd be happy, just wondering what is it and the point of it...I guess for fun?

Ok...I suppose I should get back to bed if I want to function tomorrow.

Yeah, there are rp servers for WoW, just like there are communities for rping but that basically is the gist of it. If you're in a fandom, like Harry Potter or Star Wars, you're taking a character that's already been written and trying to write that character as true to the 'canon' as possible, if you're writing 'real people', id no fandom/universe involved, then it's just making stuff up.

Yeah, it sort of is a lie you have to remember, that's where good memories come in, but when stuff like that happens, not remembering what street your character lives on or the dogs name, you can blame it on dumb rperitis. Everyone's human and make mistakes, but it's sort of a challenge unto yourself to remember all the details - or to cheat and make lists so you can remember haha.

It definitely can be, but unlike WoW where there's an external force (Blizzard or whatever) creating things and missions and timelines to abide by, role playing is something you can stop whenever. That doesn't mean people always do when they should, just like WoW. It's basically just an extension of fandoms with the discussion boards and websites. Any "good" fandom has role players in it *snob* XD
