The last couple of days have been both good and bad.

The good:

My roomie, Manny, has been running a role playing game for a couple fo months now. He ran last night, and that was a really good time. He's really good at this stuff, and getting better. We're working on descriptiveness, but other than that, he's great. I like the character I'm playing. I like the group. Face to face is nice. Played some again today, with a GREAT group. I like these people, even though there's a little drama happening. You'd hope at 26 years old I could get away from this shit, but here I am, posting about it like a 16 year old girl. *sighs*

But hey.

The bad:

The drama. And a little of my own. About stuff I'm not sure I understand. But I'll live. It's really not a big deal.

Hey, what's wrong with that?

Hey, some of us used to be 16-yr-old girls. *g*

Stuff happens, it's pretty much unavoidable. It's how you handle it that counts. Dealing with it as best you can is good; pretending nothing is wrong *points to her own last entry* is bad. Dealing with things means figuring out when to deal with the other people involved, and when to back off, hibernate a bit, and figure out what's in your own head -- finding the balance between the two.

Back on day shift this month; you know how to reach me if you need to talk. *loffhugs*

Apologies about missing last night's game. We need to get back into the swing o' things...
Is there a Bob in your group?

I view role playing games as a specialization of what we as people do every day--put on masks--personas--and then go in among the crowd. One of my profs referred to such activities as imitations of imitations of life...or something along those lines. Probably know all that, but hey, I figured I'd mention something about it, since it's the reason I bother with any kind of recreational role playing (that sounded weird...) anymore.

Anyway, about your own personal drama and the stuff it's about...I think someone else posted something said, how stuff happens. It's true, and it sucks, but sometimes it doesn't suck. Yeah...

Hmm, that's really lacking the point I meant to make. Well, to simplify, I agree wholeheartedly with the bit about dealing with it as opposed to pretending...I should have followed that advice in recent weeks, and I'd have been much happier probably.
