I was putting together a “Top 10 Ways to Kill a Roleplay” list, and I figured I’d post it on the GWing Roleplay site to get everyone’s input on the issue. Roleplayers there should spread the votes across all of the options, for the most part. I’ll probably take the top 10 and make this top 10 list a bit more intuitive.

On another note - a friend from my childhood found me on Facebook last night, and we were talking this morning a bit. It’s good to hear from her, it’s been a few years. Her mother called me on Saturday, and we chatted for a short while. It’s always good to stay connected. Okay, maybe not always, but this circumstance DOES apply.

Though, it doesn’t quite make up for Facebook’s broken note import feature.

Well, Amber, Chenoa, Catinka and myself went to a halloween party tonight…

My legs are exahausted, my head hurts (from the music), and I’m only slightly sleepy at 1:52. Perhaps it’s only 12:52 in my mind. But then again, this is the last year for daylight savings time, isn’t it?

Here’s what we looked like before we left.

From Amber

I’m a priest, and she’s a little girl. Think V for Vendetta, here. Actually, her mother(!) made the comment, “Shouldn’t you be a little boy…?”. So, dun dun dun.

So I come home, clean up a bit at the apartment, and sit down on GWing. I didn’t feel it was worth my time to respond to anything as of yet, and thought like usual that I would leave it to the community to say more effectively what I would say in a single sentence or word. After browsing around and reading all the new posts since this morning, I thought that I’d look at DiggDot.us’ newest posts, since they’re on my Google Homepage.

I found an interesting post on what love is, and thought it was a touching read. Kids certainly do say the darndest things don’t they?

Now that I’ve upgraded to Google’s Blogger Beta, I’m tweaking a bunch of controls on my blog. I am continually running into the user-friendly syndrome, where a feature is too user friendly and I can’t get down to the nitty-gritty tech side of the application. While it saves me the five minute trouble of setting up a Wordpress or similiar in-house blog, it constantly reminds me of the merits of having the Wordpress, and consequently influencing me to neglect posting here at all.

I woke up this morning to a completed upgrade from Ubuntu’s Dapper Drake (6.06 LTS) to Edgy Eft (6.10), after encountering some problems resulting from my own stupidity. Upgrading from the servers took a grand total of 16 hours, start to finish. This includes my time working out the kinks from my said stupidity, which I won’t go into further here. Due to the complications, my personal alarm clock (XMMS and an alarm plugin…) failed to wake me at the goal of 5:30 AM, having not rung at all. Sadly, this caused me to miss the chance to see my beautiful Amber, with her leaving for school at 6:30, and me waking at 7. *grumble*

After rebooting the machine to seal the deal, I opened up my shiny new Firefox 2.0 to look at the GWing RSS feed. I clicked the most important thing at the time, a new topic titled A Tale of Two Wreckages: A True Story. I then proceeded to heartily laugh my way through the time I had remaining before I had to leave for work.

Pimp status, hrm?

GWing.net - Home

Got a new face for GWing - kinda exemplifies the idea that it ISN’T JUST GUNDAM. But it still has a picture of a Gundam like, RIGHT THERE. Grr.

An update before I go to sleep!

I’ve recovered a *VERY* old backup of GWing’s index pages… and I don’t think I have any better ones.

I’m very proud of Fletcher, mainly because it’s so simple, yet so functional. I’ve not had any problems with it, and I seem to have everything modded perfectly for the uses it is put to.

Wow, I had intended to sleep at about 11:00, but a couple of friends came over. They left at 11:30. Yet here I am at 12:49 AM, sitting alone, still fiddling with HTML. Is there something wrong with me, or is this normal?

I’m also looking down at my signature for Gmail, which is what I’m using to write this entry right now. I thought at first that I enjoyed flaunting my IT-Professional-ism, but then I realized that I’m just too damned lazy to go down and delete it. Of course, my ultimate realization is that I’m still sitting here typing about absolutely nothing.
