Barrels of Monkeys!

Hi everyone!

So today was Sunday gaming as usual. We played Dungeons and Dragons 3.5. We have a lot of really varied characters who all stand out and excel in their areas of expertise. My character is a Bard going into a Rainbow Servant. I told myself “this character doesn’t’ have to be useful, just fabulous.” And that’s what I did. I made it a changeling who is a female who stays in male persona most of the time and loves to sing and play the pan flute. We started making jokes about Peruvian panflutes and panflute death metal. I like the fact that I can make all the guys laugh with my character and the remarks s/he makes. S/he is the life of the party in my opinion.

Our group is great and I love to game with all of them.  They are all very nice and very smart. It’s cool to have conversations with them about random stuff. Right now I am relaxing after such a long day. We get up to game every Saturday and Sunday at 7:00am or earlier.

Last night Batsz and I finished watching LoveHina for the first time. I never got to finish reading the mangas when I was younger so this was kind of a treat for me.  I’m not sure what we are going to watch next. For people who don’t know, Love Hina is a harem-style anime about a guy named Keitaro who wants to go to a certain college to fulfill his promise to a girl he used to hang out with when he was  just a young boy.

I’m thinking that the next anime we are going to watch is The Wallflower; which is about a goth girl who thinks she’s unattractive who lives with four handsome young men who want to transform her into a beautiful young lady. I’ve seen the first few episodes but we never got past the second disc (I own  the series). So that would be fun.

Happy Father's Day + Happy Birthday D!!

Happy Father’s day to all the fathers out there and the moms that are pulling a double shift!! May your day be happy and peaceful. Today is also my boyfriend D’s birthday. He is a bit older than me, but we don’t care. Age is really irrelevant. 

Yesterday, we had a birthday dinner with one of my besties. She made us some spaghetti with meat sauce and some ciabatta garlic bread. It was really good. She is an amazing cook. We went over to my mother and father’s house for Father’s day and D’s birthday. We ate tortellini with alfredo sauce and some mushroom and squash with some garlic bread. Mom also made a banana cake for D’s birthday as a surprise.

My mother surprised us by giving us money to go to the Soonercon convention this year. We’re going to be putting our money up to pre-register as soon as we can. I’m really excited about going. D is thinking he is going to wear his costume there and see if we can win the prize, which is a nice bernina sewing machine. I think we will be able to win it, but I can’t be sure. There are usually a lot of really well put together outfits at conventions.

I’m so excited and I just can’t wait to go get my convention on. D wants to see the Star Trek thing that they are having on Saturday of the convention and I want to meet Vic Mignogna. He does the voices for a bunch of the characters that I love in some of my favorite animes. The unfortunate part is that I can only remember that he played Dark in DN Angel, and Fai in Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicles. These are the dubbed versions. I’m a big old nerd for this kind of stuff.

Hopefully, D and I will finish watching Love Hina before we go to the convention. We watched the first of four discs a few days ago and it’s really good. I haven’t gotten to finish watching it ever, but I bought the full set a while back and never watched it. We just got done watching Moon Phase a few days ago, like sometime last week I think. It was great. I recommend it for anyone who wants a semi-comedic semi-dramatic version of vampires. Mostly comedic I think though.

Anyway, I will post more about D’s costume plans later on. I won’t have one, but I’ll be leading him around the con probably.

YAY!!
