   Problems and Icognito
Sorry for the brief absence ^^''.
Things have...taken up my attention.

First off. I had some D&D problems this past Friday.
I spent the week before using up a lot of my personal time to get three new players, whom I knew through a personal friend and who I thought were my friends, into my game. Two of them turned out to be a big mistake. The first one only wanted to argue with the other party members throughout the entire game at one point blatantly yelling at me. This, woke up my roomate, who was quite upset that A: he was woken up so rudely, B:didn't like the guy in the first place an only allowed him into our apartment because I begged him, and C: the guy was yelling at me over a game in my own house.
The second guy, was brought over to the apartment without my consent, and being the kind-hearted person I was, couldn't turn him away. He told me earlier in the week that he wasn't going to be at the game because he had to work - so his character sheet wasn't finished when he arrived. I tried to get him to the table so I could finish his stats - and he ignored my completely, parked himself on my couch and buried himself in his PSP. Then at the last minute he decided it was time for him to join in. Then all HE did was attack our Rakshasa chracter, and refused to attack any of the monsters/NPC that we encountered during the game, and talked trash because he's "the baddest mf in the world."
Did I mention that they showed up late, and that I had to call them four times to ask why and four times they were doing something more important elswhere?
So not a fun session. Roomate and I have decided that those two are never allowed over to the apartment again.
Two days later I talked to both of them about what happened. The first guy was alright with it and behaved like a reasonable adult and even apologized to me. The second, PSP-guy, did the exact opposite. Bad mouthed my roomate and myself and said many hateful and ugly things to me.
It made me very sad. My heart is to soft and I constantly worry about offending people and this was just another example of why I need to toughen up.
I called my Navy recruiter yesterday to see if they had my new ship date since I switched my job classifications, and was dismayed. Apparently the person who can allow me to get the new seat has been on emergency leave and his office is having a hard time getting a replacement to do his job - so for right now I am still a Gunner's Mate and I am scheduled to ship Jan 23. MY recruiter assured me that he will do all that he can to get me the Cryptology position. I believe him and I'm going to go by to see him later on this morning.

Other than those occurances- I'm doing wonderful! ^-^

I got to vote! (even though my candidate didn't win -.-' but I exercised my american right and I feel great about it). I found two more players for my D&D game that seem more mellow than the other two, but I'm taking it slow with these two. ^-^ Maglin has told me many interesting 'bumps' that may lie in our D&D road...it is delicious!!
I shall let you know how it goes down. I realized that I was role playing my character wrong, and I still haven't quite got her pinned but I've made a lot of mental progression with her personality.
Both my jobs have been keeping my quite busy since the holiday season is kicking in. We've been receiving a ton of our holiday supplies and stock in a lot earlier than last year -and finding places to fit it all is a chore in and of itself! o.o
My kitten, Michi-ru, is growing so big! ^o^ I shall take pictures to show you...eventually. oo''
I have ALMOST beaten Enchanted Arms on the 360 - you're going down Devil Golem King!!!! >.O
Listening to Cobra Commander aka Starscream rattle on about world domination is hysterical!!!
Random I know, but my roomie is watching it whilst I type this ^-^.

I shall try to get to sites later on today so check in the evening and I should have dropped by.

love to all and more soon!
