I spent a frankly embarrassing period of time in doing it, but I got my preorder in for a Ness amiibo. I'm ridiculously happy with myself!

Having some trouble with roleplaying. I'm not sure exactly what the problem is. Possibly it's the open choice? Maybe I'm too used to playing linear video games and the like, where there are several ways to advance, but they all lead in the same general direction.

Finally bit the bullet and decided to install a wiki for my private roleplaying data. PmWiki turns out to be like 0.25 megs or something! Even my little web hosting account can handle that! So that's done and I've spent a completely stupid amount of time customizing my install. (Some of it was useful, like tweaking the search results so that passers-by don't get stuff from the wiki help pages unless they're specifically looking for it. Most of it is me having fun with conditional markup and coding. That part is time wasted.)

Bah, I'm not good at postprandial journaling. I'm sleepy and happy and possibly a few more of the seven dwarves.

Have a good one!

Some days, you wrestle with the toothpaste tube. You grab it and grip it and carefully work the contents out.

By which I mean that I squeezed out a roleplaying post again today. It ain't Shakespeare and it still doesn't come as easily as I remember, but I'm in it all the same. Feels good. One post does not a habit make, of course; I still need to work on keeping this up. One post is more progress than zero posts, though, and one drop at a time can fill a bucket.

... I don't actually know what that metaphor is supposed to represent, in this context. Gimme a sec.

It... means that, even if I manage one or zero posts every day, eventually we'll get there? I think. Don't ask me, they're just my words; why does that mean I should know what they mean?

I may be a little brain fried. My mind is currently full of a certain redhead dancing to Queen (because I refused to let her infinitely loop the Ramones). She can dance all she wants, just so long as she hangs around. I've missed her.

I'm happy lately. Friday, I got some good roleplaying done, after [personal profile] anke helped me get past a particular sticking point. Another person in the chatroom commented that our story sounded neat, which was a pleasant surprise to me!

That night, I dreamed I was back in school, fully clothed (in nylons even!), getting complimented. It seems my subconscious is still trying to wrap itself around the notion that I don't suck. Aww. We'll get there, brain!

Sunday saw me quite unexpectedly playing a game of Traveller for the first time in my life, with a group I didn't know (except for the GM, who was once my housemate). We did really well! I got to be the muscle but not an idiot. I felt a little uneasy about playing that type of character (a marked departure from my usual), but it turned out splendidly.

Today I tried to catch up on stuff I'd let sit over my delightfully lazy weekend. I even scrubbed in the bathroom, which killed my nails. Oh well.

It's time for me to leave the computer. I feel like I didn't get anything of substance done today, but I guess that's to be expected after I let so much pile up. I'll just keep plugging away until I get there!
