Kick Out the Jams
1) I’m so excited about getting rolling on our D&D, I could pee. I’ve been going back and forth on e-mail with Bill, who’s DMing the game, on character stuff and whatnot. I got the handbook about a week ago and I’m just having a blast with the whole thing. I have to say - playing with the 3.0/3.5 books threw me for a loop, and I never came close to getting a grasp on anything, but it’s much, much easier in this edition to catch on. Not to say I haven’t made my share of mistakes already, but I feel like the entire thing is pretty simple.
I got a big bag o’ dice, which is a fun little addition. eBay is funny like that, I suppose. If you need any miniature 6 sided dice, let me know.
2) Funeral is on Friday. We’ll probably head down tomorrow night. Not sure yet.
3) Because I should, a meme:
a) First Name: Jeff
b) Age: 27
c) Location: Fabulous Manch-Vegas. Manchester, NH
d) Occupation: Children’s librarian! 18 months and running!
e) Partner?: Ann. 15 months and running! And I still kinda like her! d;-)
f) Kids: I sure hope not.
g) Brothers/Sisters: My brother Kyle is 24 now, has his own place in Millbury, my old hometown. We exchange lolcats on MySpace a lot, but he seems to be doing well when we do talk.
h) Pets: Pigeon, the kitty. She’s been extra cute the last few days, too. She also wanted to play with the minature 6 sided dice.
i) List the 3-5 biggest things going on in your life:
- Work. Because work is work, and it’s hard, but it’s great. And summer reading. Yeah.
- The book. Because I keep stalling on it, and then life happens, and then I remember it and get angry that I’m putting things off.
- Life. It’s a copout answer, but life is very big for me right now.
j) Where and for what did you go to school for?:
Anna Maria College, Paxton MA, class of 2003. Went in as a music major, went out a history/political science major, using little of it.
k) Parents?
Two, still. Heh. My father is coming toward the end of his tenure at the prison - one of the good guys, not the guy behind bars. We continue to have a better relationship than we ever did during my more formative years, and that’s a good thing.
My mother is doing well. It’s hard to judge properly being away, but “is doing well” feels right.
l) Who are some of your closest friends?
At this point, we’ve finally become close to a local couple, also a librarian. We’re still quite close with Michelle and Josh and we’re long overdue in seeing them, and it’s just like old times whenever we catch up with Julia and Tiff and the like. So it’s been decent, all things considered.
