kleenexwomanMy roommates just left in a cloud of glitter, terrible wine-smelling perfume, and short skirts. They left with boys. I assume they are going on some kind of triple date, because they did not invite me. They did leave the door propped open, so I do not know whether they are coming back or not.
People have been coming back and forth all day in and out of the room. I don't know who most of them are; I think they're Sara's friends, but it's hard to tell, because Annie and Erin were also talking with them. I didn't see them arrive, just wandered out to take a shower and they were there, lying on the futon and watching football.
It has not been a very pleasant or interesting day. I've had a lot of German homework that I really didn't want to do, and had to read an essay on "Theme" for my English class that I completely disagreed with. (Or maybe that was just because I was in a really fractious mood.) Also laundry, and I've ruined three of my favorite shirts with really bad stains. I didn't bring enough clothes to begin with, actually. Now I only have about 5.
I missed Fiction Collective. It's usually at 8 PM, but Skylie set this week's meeting at 4 PM. I wrote it down and everything, but my mind went, "Ooh, it's Sunday, get to the Kaya by 8," and so I went there at 8. So I missed seeing everyone after a whole long summer. I feel like such an idiot. Such an idiot.
Point of amusement: Am watching "American Dad" right now and Patrick Stewart's character is singing "Little Girls."
RPG Saturday was fun, though. We're playing White Wolf (every other Saturday), which is a werewolf game. My character is an Ironmaster, which is a technology-oriented Tribe, and a Cahalith, which is the bard/empath moon sign. I tend to play intellectual characters in RPGs.
My actual pack is made up of:
Mel: Played by Logan, an elder statesman of LARPing. Mel describes himself as "basically like Marv in Sin City," although he reminds me more of Wolverine (mostly because I haven't seen Sin City yet). Mel is the alpha. He is a very laid-back alpha within his own pack, and quite a hardass to anyone who challenges it. (He's been playing this game three years, so he can afford to be.)
Rigel: Played by Mike, a shy geek boy. Rigel is a New Age con man and is trying to start his own religion among the mortals in order to sell more supplies. At my suggestion, he is trying to affect a cultured Southern accent.
Davinius: Played by Dan, a spiky, beaky kid. Davinius is a Ghost Wolf, which means he's a total outcast without a tribe. We're trying to help him find one. He also has two personalities, a crazy redneck and a slavering psycho who has to be kept on a chain.
Fares With Spirits: Played by Brady, a very nice older guy who's kind of glommed with me IRL. He is a Native American shaman and lives on the reservation. Packs one helluva peace pipe.
There are two other characters in our pack whose names I can't remember, since they had to leave early to go get their baby; they're a couple in real life (not in the game, I think). The guy is playing a gang member. The girl is playing another Cahalith. She's more of an empath type, whereas I'm more of a voice-of-reason type.
Our pack is the largest in the game, but we're kind of the misfit pack. We have been given the outskirts of the city (we tend to stick around the quad, but we play as though we are all over Mt. Pleasant) to guard. Mel expressed the opinion that unless we get the territory we asked for (the downtown area, mostly because it contains Mel's favorite bars), we ain't guarding shit.
The Vampire and Werewolf games are made by the same companies. Said companies also put out a game about mages which I would absolutely love to play, but there's nobody running one. (I also want to try playing "Call of Cthulhu." I also need to get more Lovecraft books. I am woefully under-read in that area, particularly because I want to write a Lovecraft pastiche.)
One of the things I like is that all of the handbooks have a chapter in the front where they explain the game and list influences. In the Mage handbook, Re-Animator, Naked Lunch, and the complete works of Philip K. Dick are listed as being influences on the people who created the game. The thought of Herbert West or William S. Burroughs as mages amuse me. Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas is listed as an influence on the Vampire game. (I don't totally understand the reasoning behind this.)
My roommates are back and are asking each other if they have any liquor hook-ups. They haven't asked me yet. Maybe I've turned invisible?
ETA: One of them brought me back some new T-shirts. I am saved. What a nice girl. Now they are discussing new boyfriends. It's so interesting to watch people that you live with go through relationships. Especially when you have just about no hope of getting any.
Anyway, I've got a new story to work on. I'd like to co-write something with someone. Or have someone that will feed me ideas. I don't see this happening anytime soon.
And my ethernet cord keeps falling out of the socket.
