Tigers are distracting
Would you believe sometime last week I was sitting at my computer about to begin writing my blog when I saw a tiger run down the street in a blur of orange and black and that is why I got distracted and didn't update my blog? No? Okay so maybe it wasn't a tiger but I've still been busy. I went to your house Imy and saw alot of your family. I was a little freaked out by all the people but that's more me than them. They were nice. I also went to Tahranui or whatever its called and that was very fun. I'm going again tomorow if the weather is good. I have written more of my vampire novel although I didn't write that much. Hmmmm what else. I saw Misha again after ages and I have decide there is no point coming into contact with the guy. Also Andy appears to be a ghost and that's just fine by me. I don't say that because I'm angry with him I say that because it really is fine. My dnd game has been cancelled because there are not enough players and I'm making another campaign just for fun. I still don't know whos going to play it but I at least have one player now-Imy! The players are a band of raiders who go around taking whatever they want from the weak and divided villages. Their plans for easy living are however threatened when a soldier with a gang of men decides it would be a good idea to unite the villages against raiders and other monsters. I thought it would be fun if the villain was a hero while the players were evil although Meredith has a campaign like that for her starwars game. The first game of that campaign was fun but the second wasn't really. The main problem was that the action of the game was at a crawl. We shouldn't spend 30 minutes running and crawling through grass or an hour fighting one monster. That may sound like harsh criticism and maybe it is but I'm not saying my games are flawless either. I'm sure there's plenty of problems with my dm style not the least of which is under preparation but with this latest game I think I've prepared the first bit well. In my experiance it is extremely difficult to run a interesting and fun dnd game but Imy does tell me I am easily bored. I like dnd because I like stories and what I like in a story is epicness, awesome heroes, awesome villains, and awesome story. At least that's what I like in a dnd story. Hmmmm it is fun to ramble. I saw die hard recently for the first time. Bruce Willis was very funny and Alan Rickman was awesome. The movie was tense, action packed and also hilarious. It had crack up lines like "Looks like we may need more FBI guys." This was said after a pair of arrogant agents got blown up by the terrorists. I had seen die hard 4 before this first one and thought that was very cool. I wander if the others are as good. Anyway I think that's enough rambling for one blog.

I'm typing this at the uni labs as I look over my shoulder at you sitting at the table with the others playing your Star Wars thing and I am SO happy that WAAAHbacca has been killed and I'm looking at what you have written with regards to DnD and I am looking over my shoulder at you there again and I am thinking to myself.....HA!
