4 slices of black olive & mushroom pizza.

Items of interest to me.

Caught April in 2 lies between the hours of 10pm and 12 PM tonight. 1 regarding how much she drank, another of her not eating my food. I didn’t even challenge, because she is out of here in 3 weeks and counting. I don’t care if she lies to me anymore, but she’d better not steal.

Newtie is grooming me, licking the back of my head! Good, lovey kitty.

Met my new everway group. Some nice folks, 3 slob-tech gamers, and one wife-gamer.

Jeffery – met over the net, he found me in a gamer’s directory. Nice guy, as old as I am, married to Bee (Bridgett? Beatrice?) Used to service the machines where I work, and is GM. Kind enough to pick me up and take me home from the game. Seems to dash of on tangents, I imagine staying on topic during the game will be a challenge, but not impossible, fortunately that doesn’t bug me much. 31

Bee – South African, very pleasant, entertaining & gracious. She seems to enjoy my quirks (all of them came up tonight, it seems, from vegetarianism, carelessness, to waving at graveyards.) was amused by some of my stories, and her Afrikaans is close enough to German that we could make silly comments. Met husband over IRC, net wedding. 🙂 23

Joe – Seemed nice, didn’t get a strong vibe, still new to rpg, looks to be suffering a bit from tech burnout. has a palm IIIE 24

Chris?(not sure of name) The only skinny one of us, witty, and quick to adapt to most social behaviors. He’s the gamer who quotes python, makes squirrel and slug comments, and is a primary distraction during the game. I’m sure I’ll get on well with him. 22

Aleria (Bee’s visiting sister from Italy) Cute young lady, fond of train spotting and ewen macgregor, Speaks buckets of languages, and is quite polite and conversant, even though her English is a bit broken. 17

I think I came off as ‘mentor-man’ or maybe ‘overbearing man’ depending on the person. I maintained politeness and helped out where possible, tried not to step on conversations, but may have. It’s funny, I’m confident the girls like me, and Chris, but am not terribly sure of Joe and Jeffery. (they probably did too, just didn’t get a strong congenial vibe)

Many good characters.
