Real Life and other petty distractions

[stilljustandrew]

So. Um.

I've just gotten a new job. Fulltime. I start a week from tomorrow.

I'll be the office secretary in a private grade school for girls. Phenomenal cosmic powers .... iiiitty bitty working space.

And working hours of 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Which means my late nights at Milliways are going to have to be severely curtailed, and my occasional afternoons at Milliways are going to be pretty much gone.

Weep, wail, tear hair, &c.




Just so y'all know.

Just so people know- I'm deleting my LJ, villainny, for this week. I have the world and his coursework to do.

I'll be emailable, but that's it. I'll be back, though, so dinnae fret.

I forget how it came up, but Joe-mun and I were discussing what we'd do if we found ourselves (not our characters, our sadly-easy-to-kill selves) in Milliways. (Oddly enough, I think it was shortly before this was posted -- hive mind, anyone?)

It's an interesting question. If you're, you know, bored and waiting two hours before class starts. What would you do? How would you react to meeting your own (apparently autonomous) character(s)? Would you tell anyone the situation? (Joe-mun brilliantly suggested Andrew.) Would you use your knowledge of characters' secrets? (Talk about canon-puncturing.) Give Tarot readings? Try desperately to contact other muns? ("Shati sat down and thought about the disturbing fact that she was trapped in Milliways as a character. She wondered when her friends would get her out. She wondered REALLY REALLY HARD. Bastards.") How many fried paradoxes would you eat? Would you participate in karaoke?

a random Milliways poetry moment

(I found this over at breathe_poetry this morning, and I think it'll be immediately obvious why I thought of Milliways and brought it here to share with you.)

The things they don't tell you about heaven
by Jill Alexander Essbaum

Apples still taste like apples. Funny thing,
serpents taste like apples too, and kisses

and bread. In fact, it is all about apples,
this place. Everything you touch is smooth and red.

Your skin is comfortably heavy on your bones,
like that sleepy moment between being awake and falling

into a dream. The moon is a pendulum clock,
and light from the sun comes down in drops, as rain. And,

as any child will tell you, what we call rain is really tears,
the soul of God weeping over something great or small,

as anything with a soul will do from time to time.
Mostly, it is the apples, and a longing kind of sad.

They are firm as musculature. They smell like the flesh
and juice of unrequited love.

Well, pooh.

It's finals week. And after that, it's home for 3 weeks. Home, where I don't have internet access. Therefore I really won't be at Milliways at all. Well, Echo may be in. Maybe.

Anyway, I'll have Blaise leave his presents with someone in a couple of days, and then until about mid-January, you can assume that:

Blaise: is upstairs or sitting un-noticed in a booth working on magic stuff
Ember: is in her home world
Anya: is upstairs sleeping off the mysterious headache from hell
Echo: is in her booth

I hope everyone has wonderful holidays, and I'll miss you all!

*hugs entire bar*

Nothing to see, move along . . .

I've gotten into the habit of drawing really stupid comics about the dumb things George-mun (Saphie) and I say, do, or think of doing. So when I found out that Saphie had managed to get not just the twins but also Ron arrested after I'd gone to bed, I just had to draw another. Figured you guys'd be a more receptive audience than, say, my mom.

If you're a masochist and wanna see more, they're in an album.

On a completely unrelated note, I've just found out that I've gotten into to my college of choice and I am OMGLIEKWOSOFRICKINHAPPY! Because! Not gonna be a bum living in a cardboard box for at least four more years! GLEE!

And, just relaying the message-

Dream'mun/Arithon'mun, aka the player Madb, won't be on tonight (Monday night, over 13th/14th... dratted time zones) due to family issues. If she does manage to be on tonight, its for email and so on, and not for game-age. *clarifies*

FYI, yall.

*leaves snugz for Dream'mun*

Er, Dream-mun, when do you think we can get around finishing Ron's dream? I mean, whenever you have time and all is fine with me.

Dear Delirium:

I took the pink stripes in the hair fine.

I have not objected to developing a taste for things that I should not have a taste for.  (Honey mustard does not go on ice cream, taste buds.  Note this.  Live it.  Learn it.  Love it.)

However.

When I write a post for my OWN LJ?

AnD It'S aLl LiKe ThiS?

Too much.

GIVE ME MY BODY BACK!  *weeps*

Love, the mun.

*dances* Because I have a wonderful Galinda to play with. And she is amazing.

And everyone should know that. Go fangirl her. (Dude, could I play Glinda? So much no. It's hard to get someone that vain and that likeable. And I am in awe.)

Now...*grins* Who wants to play Fiyero? Or the Wizard? (Oh, man. So bad, so much angst, and yet, so fun.) OR NESSA?

Yes, I'm on crack. The Star Wars Holiday Special does that to you.

Now, let's all join hands and celebrate Life Day with all the other Wookies!

Ugh.

So, I just started training for a new job today. It has hours that I'm incredibly non-used to. So I expect to pretty much come home completely exhausted for the next two weeks, and not be able to RP much.

Of course, this all can be easily explained away IC by Buffy hiding out from the Roman Demon Mafia.

If you wanna RP something important, an hour or two may be arranged if you ping me. This applies for Agent Jean Qualls too, since I play her as well.

Can anyone tell me - have we got our Christmas Tree in Milliways yet? And if so, where is it? Roughly.

Did someone just IM me? I accidentally typed at it and it ran away.

Will delete this in a moment, sorry for the spam, I go 'way now.
