Happy Birthday, Neil Gaiman

I just can't remember how old he actually is... somewhere in his mid-forties, but he sure doesn't look like it. The userpic for this entry is based off the pic on the back dust jacket of "Anansi Boys". Hm, think I'll read some "Sandman" comics and maybe a few short stories from "Smoke and Mirrors" before I turn in for the night.

And Sieges went on her first mission today, came out of it in one piece, with 260 XP (she needs 400 to get to the next level, so I'm proud of my little girl for making such good progress so soon); come on, baby, you just need 140 more. Still trying to come up with a non-Mary Sue-ish sounding backstory for her, all I know about her is that she is/was a shy and bookish college student (sound familiar?).

EDIT TO ADD: She just posted her notes on her second day

One of the beauties of the MxO (not sure if this is true of all MORPGs), and one of my favorite features is taking screenshots. I've been taking lots of pics of Sieges in action and as she wanders around the Mega-City, looking for adventure. Only trouble was, I thought for some wierd reason they weren't downloading into my machine... but I took a look in the program folder for the MxO software and found them there. *headdesk* I'm planning on making some LJ-type icons from them, if anyone's interested.

NaNowriMo, Day Eleven: Almost there...

19,968 / 50,000 (39.9%)

Man, 32 words more and I'd have hit 20,000. Who knows? I might come up with more by midnight.

Off to see what kind of badfics got dredged onto GAFF, and to see what kind of adventures Sieges will have...

MxO madness...

Things I learned tonight, one of which Flood is hammering into my skull. Guess which one?

Friday night is a busy gaming night: Expect pile-ups at hardlines, up to and including, people walking through your character.

Stay. Away. From. The Blackwoods Gang.

Do not try doing a little sight-seeing, looking for the courtyard where Neo fought the 100 annoying Smith clones. You may get killed before you can even draw your gun, on account of the above being in the area.

But I managed to make a gaming buddy tonight, and he even let me loot his kills. ::Thumbs up to gotanska::

::Pats Sieges, who's now at Level 3, even if she kept getting killed::
