Xmas Gatherish

This just in! Kok is having an Xmas Gatherish on Wednesday! No Kok, don't argue! I was writing it in my calendar, and instead of "gathering" it became "gatherish", so this is what you're having! It'll be a new tradition!!!!

*rofl!*

Girls Only Club!

Tomorrow begins the 12 Days of Christmas! Humm.. I'd like to be wildly creative and do something every day for that, but I'm not feeling very creative. :P Oh well. Was happy to get an email from Rob* today! I had emailed him a few weeks back.. heh.. I guess to the wrong email, cuz he gave me his new one in his reply. He's a guy who I was friends with a few years back, in Dark Ages. He played Paladine Meatha, a popular and kind priest who married my character, Rhiamon. We used to talk a lot OOC too, and he was a very nice guy. I loved role playing his wife, because I knew he would never take it for more than a RP (I hate it when people assume that because you RP a relationship for the game, it means you want one in real life! :P ) The reason I knew he'd never confuse it is because he's gay. And I'm happy to learn that he has a husband now! Congrats!! He was the first gay friend I had, the first ever that I'd met (online or in person)! ..hmm.. I don't know if I ever told him that I'm bisexual. Hum. Oh! I nearly forgot.. I wanted to add a link to the Girls Only Club! I'm too lazy to edit the template and put it the links list. In fact, maybe I shouldn't advertise it like that, since it's only for me and my girl friends. hehe.. yup, no boys allowed!

*Note: Actually, his name is Roy and his email addy used to be "roybob" so I kinda combined the names by accident. *looks at Kok and mouths the words: Rob Roy Fingerhead?*

How do you say "bless you" in German? Gesundeict!

Well, it looks like I won't be in Chilliwack until after 8pm on Monday. Kok and I are having a sleep over & gift exchange and we're going to meet up with Gina for coffee & chat. In an email to confirm this, she randomly told me about how a girl she had a crush on has a gf, so she's disappointed. Too bad for her... but.. heh heh. Can't wait to see how Monday goes.

As for what happened today. Work, tired, sleep. I think I'm sick. My throat isn't very sore, but it was bothering me today and I have a mild headache constantly, on top of sneezing and exhausted. Bah. I checked out my meds at home and I have plenty that should cover it. I even have two boxes of Contac! One from Europe (which was wicked-good stuff, and doesn't expire until 2005!) and one I picked up last year here. It's funny to see the differences between the European packaging and Canadian. The European one I got at a pharmaceutical in Austria, and it's all in German. The ingredients are nearly the same as the Canadian one, except ours has more.

I know you want to hit that

My goodness, for a Thursday it was really busy at work!! That's okay, I like to keep busy, but wow. I've been so exhausted lately! Nothing much happened to report, not even in DA. I didn't even really feel like playing much tonight. So why am I posting this at all? I was made aware that I hadn't posted anything since Tuesday (on Friday). The horrors!! No posts!! Tsk tsk..

Yes, they were big chests.

Yay! NOW I'm finished all my Christmas shopping!! Went out with Mom today to finish the last of it. Now I can start wrapping! Other then that, today was a very tired day. I was woken up at 10am by the stupid yard workers weed-whacking right outside my window!! Bastards. I couldn't get back to sleep, figured I ought to get up, but by the time I was on the bus at noon, I was nearly falling asleep already. I was sooo tired all day! Somehow muddled through, and by the time I was back home and on DA, I felt fine. Weird. I ended up having Ailios leeched to insight 16! Crazy! I've never done that before. Normally I wouldn't, because it's not as fun as doing the hunt yourself, and because you can't improve skills that way.. but Ailios is a peasant and peasants don't get to improve skills at all! Plus, she has plenty of insights to go, what's a little leeching here and there? Hehe. It's fun! Freaky too. I've never seen some of these creatures (Chests and Great Bat).

Strangers came a'knockin

Got to talk to Gina again last night. My goodness, do we have a lot in common!! It's really cool to talk to someone who understands & relates to these kinds of things. I have other friends who relate to OTHER kinds of things, but yeah. This is neat. Can't wait to talk again! She's going to join me in Dark Ages one of these evenings so I can show her around. We're also planning on getting together next Monday for coffee.....

I noticed a few strangers on my tracker! I know most of the IPs..... but some I don't! O.o That means... there's... STRANGERS reading my diary! AHhhhhHhhhhhhh! Oh wait.. I knew that'd happen when I switched to Blogger. heh. Okay, strangers are welcome. Maybe I should make a guestbook. Yeah, that's what I'll do!

Later.

Peasants will riot!

Kok and I went Christmas shopping in **** today. It was fun, running around trying to find what we wanted. I found the black jeans that I wanted to get, and finished up shopping for everyone but Kok! I think, anyway. Yes, I think I am absolutely done! Phew. On DA I got Ailios to attend Naze's class. Naze is one of the first Aislings to follow the peasant path, and she agreed to be my mentor! That's really cool. It's like being accepted into the "peasant club" or something. Strangely, later that night I met another peasant-path guy! I don't know if he knows Naze and the others, but it was really neat! The guy who was Semmiron has other names now, and has revealed himself to be younger than I thought (I'm guessing 17-19). Too bad. I don't really want to RP a relationship with him, because I don't know how much he RP's, and he may take it the wrong way. He was hinting that he liked Drusylla, and was interested in RP'ing something there, but gack.. no! Not unless I can trust he won't think it means anything OOC. Besides, what if I find someone I *really* want to RP with that way? he he he. Don't want to waste it on an aquaintance.

Is James Gay?

No! And don't let the nasty rumors get carried away! But according to "Buffy" magazine, James Marsters has a role in an upcoming movie ("Italian Heat") where he "plays a married farmer, living under facist rule, who has an affair with a male Army deserter." (quote c/o "Buffy" mag)

Some are going to be disgusted by this, others fascinated. Me? I don't even want to say it. Those who know me best know my answer and "omg" is all I can say. Repeat. OMG!

*grins at Kok from cyberspace* I wonder if he kisses the guy! :o

EVP Xmas Party 2003

You would think that starting work at 10am and sleeping in would mean feeling more rested, but far from. I was so exhausted all day! Really hard to keep concentrating on work, but I did and I got a lot done. It was also weird being off by an hour all day.. heh. Then, it was off to the company Christmas party! Judy (lady from the upstairs office) picked me up after 6pm and off we went. We sat with Laurie (also from upstairs) and her husband. Dinner was late, but very good. Turkey dinner with all sorts of stuff on the side. Desert was also very good. Oh, and we got wine with dinner. I had maybe a quarter of the glass. It wasn't the best, and I'm not big on drinking anyway. There was a bar, but I just got a Coke. I didn't win any of the prizes. :P Sucks. Oh well. At some point the lights went down and the music got louder, opening the dance floor. It took a long time for anyone to get dancing, bunch of chickens! Finally, some of the office ladies (downstairs; shipping office) started going, and even our General Manager, Rene, got up there! Once a good song came on I went out to join the office ladies, though the rest of my table sat out the dancing. Heh. It was a lot of fun. There were a couple times when we disbanded to get a breath (and wait for better songs) but I went back up a few times before Judy and I left. At one point there was a big group of us with Dave, and later the girls got Ryan Chimilar (supervisor) up there! After a bit of dancing I went to get some Ginger Ale and some guy (don't know which he was) walked by, met me in the eye, and asked "Hey, how's it going?" lol! That's all he said tho.. after I replied he continued on to where he was going. It was funny because all evening no one was really noticing me, and I don't know the warehouse guys well so I stuck to the office staff I know. I know he saw me dancing. I know a LOT of people who weren't dancing were watching the dancers and I can't seem to get embarrassed by that. Wasn't drunk, knew what I was doing. And I know how to dance, so yeah. Goodie for me if some of them start to notice me now, although I think most of them are taken and/or smoke, so oh well.

I can't remember the last time I danced! At least, in public. Geez, it may not have been since Europe! That really sucks. Well, goodie for me because I get to dance again in a couple weeks, at my friend's wedding. I tell ya, the next person I date had better like to dance and want to go out dancing at least once a month, if not more!! It would be helpful if they didn't need to get drunk to dance, but what are the chances of that? Not good. The problem I have with that is when people are drunk they don't act like themselves and it makes me uncomfortable/nervous. It's like some sorta instinctual sense that something's not quite "right" with them. Like one of the supervisor's last night. He was getting drunk (maybe about half-way there) and he didn't do anything wrong, but when he talked to me there was just this vibe that was icky. Like, if he DID get drunk he may have started to act improper or something. Yeah, that's one big part of alcohol I don't like: how "friendly" people get after drinking a lot. It's not a good kind of friendly. It's a "drooling", tripping, leering type of friendly that's very unnerving. If I'm ever at a club somewhere and someone's trying to get up the courage to talk to me, they'd better not get drunk to get that courage, else they'll end up just really turning me off! :P
