one of those things.

You know, I think some people just don't understand the concept of a message board. Oftentimes in the Arena (and in other places on the Boards) I'll see a post that at the end has something like, "Sorry this was so short and horribly misspelled I don't have time to write right now." To an extent I understand this, because sometimes you want your character to really get something done. And yet to another, much larger extent (my metaphor got all twisted), I don't. It's a message board. Not an instant messaging system. The people you are messaging with probably expect to have to wait. And you should expect to have a wait with them, too. To me, "I'll come back later" is built into the system already. I'd a thousand times rather wait for you to post something insightful that makes sense that have you promise you'll come back later right now.

Hm. I don't think I explained myself as well as I could've, but you probably get the general idea.

So, who knows where this comes from: "I have heard that you enjoy prancing around like an idiot. Is this true?"

I had more to say, too, but I forgot it at first. Firstly, I had a new idea for an RPG that I think would be smashing. Then last night when I couldn't sleep (because I was up coughing, man do I hate being sick) I started thinking it out in my head, and I came up with all these intricate storylines that I don't think would work in an RPG, simply because everybody would have to know everything that was going on, right from the start. But I still really want to play it. ... And write it. So I might do both. :-) I don't know yet, though.

Secondly, today I had Cinnamon Toast Crunch on my vanilla ice cream. A fascinating idea (a friend of mine's idea, man that looks like some weird grammar, and it probably is incorrect). It was pretty good, but my teeth are too sensitive to enjoy it. Still, you might want to try it.
