Man.

I was going to do a post, I think, talking about travel--I don't do it very much, and honestly, I don't think it counts, because it's basically flying back to Texas to see my parents. The interesting thing for me, though, is that every time I go back to Austin, I am more and more certain that I don't want to live there; it doesn't really feel like "my" city. After fifteen-plus years, I still don't really know the streets and the neighborhoods and the directions except the MOST famous, and Austin is a city where you have to drive--public transportation is pretty damn laughable. Whereas in Seattle, I know where places are, I know where streets are, and I can navigate comfortably in this gray wet windy pacific northwest place.

But. I don't actually mind leaving Seattle--and coming back isn't very exciting. There's always this little part of me that perks up when we land at the airport in Austin, and part of me that deflates when I have to leave. I blame it on my parents--because I know they'll be waiting when I arrive, and they stand and wave at me until I've gone through the security checkpoint when I leave. I talked to Mom a bit about whether they'd move, and for her, Austin is her city. She likes it there, hot summer weather and allergies and everything aside. They've talked sometimes about moving back to Korea, or moving closer to me, but after last week, I'm not sure. Mom says she'd like it if I could inherit their house, which I have mixed feelings about--because it is the house I grew up in, and I love it, but it's in Austin and it's that horrible sinking feeling of knowing your parents won't be there forever. There is going to be a point where I will go back to Austin and they won't be there and I will cry in public even though I hate it. W-wry.

Then I got sidetracked! Life rolls on--I'm back at work again for the first time in nearly two weeks (in a display of the worst timing ever, I got miserably sick for a week, and THEN I went to visit my parents for a week o lulz) and it is madly busy. Some people even noticed I was gone and expressed concern and relief that I was not, in fact, dead. :|b I am also running my first game of CFUW ever, and it's the whole IC CARRYOVER KILL GAME and ahhhhhhhhhh I'm so paranoid. XD IT IS A LOT OF FUN BUT I kind of wish I could've gotten some practice in first, but oh well. Dive in headfirst to the deep end, me! You can do it! Or die trying!

On that note, I thought about doing the "I always wanted to say ..." meme, but I figured I'd do the super-lazy version and leave it in my journal.

ANON COMMENTING IS ALWAYS ON IN THIS JOURNAL and I made sure it is this time |D SO PLEASE TELL ME IF THERE IS ANYTHING YOU WANT TO SAY.

Technically IP logging is on but I'm bad with tracking that sort of thing.

A-and if people in CFUD can tell me whether I am overdoing it with wolf or if they're enjoying it or if there's anything I can improve, please please do. ;o;

Well, I dunno about Micro in particular -- though in that case it'd be pretty easy to run it past the mods and have them implement it as an lab experiment -- but I actually disagree in that it couldn't work as a "dressing room" type thing. I feel like I think it could be made to happen? People we know who play from various games would probably be interested. And I could for sure take care of the actual organizational stuff, if you'd like to actually try it out -- the more I think about it, the more I think it would be fun, so. :x It probably wouldn't be anything close to perfect at first, but I'm sure it could be pulled off on a periodic basis and the bugs could quickly be worked out.

I still disagree about the dressing room style being totally unfeasible-- i.e. no applications, anyone can play anytime. That sort of defeats the entire purpose of Mafia! Even CFUW has signups, you know? Most of the people who'd be interested ARE in CFUW and wouldn't need a secondary comm. And I'm good at organizational stuff! But I would suck as a mod because I'm critical, lazy, and sensitive. TRUST ME I HAVE BEEN THINKING ABOUT THIS FOR WEEKS.

And see my reply to

nekokoban re: asking mod permission and why I don't want to do that. We generally don't have more than 9 players on at once on any given day, and that's a good one.

I guess we're working under different definitions of dressing room, then. What I meant was... a crossover game, I guess? I wasn't thinking it'd be open to just ANYONE. It'd have to be private, obviously, in the sense that whoever was in charge could yea or nay anyone's participation, and those who were told about it would be people we knew anyway.

And I wouldn't count out people being interested in such a game just because they can play in CFUW, you know? They'd get a chance to play with other characters/with other people/in other situations they couldn't in CFUW.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking about re: low-key game. :/ But I still think I'd suck at modding and I'm already trying to get one (possibly two) low-key privatish games off the ground with a lot less modding needed and kind of failing at both, so.

[snuggles]

Fair enough. I guess what I'm just saying is DON'T WRITE YOUR CHANCES OF EVER HAVING THAT KIND OF GAME OFF COMPLETELY JUST BECAUSE THE CIRCUMSTANCES AREN'T RIGHT TO START IT RIGHT NOW especially since I'd be willing to help with whatever you need. T^Tb ♥ ♥ ♥

P.S. IF YOU ARE INTERESTED ENOUGH AND THINK IT WOULD WORK ENOUGH TO SLOG THROUGH ME BEING A WHINY BITCH, I'll whiny bitch at you later online. \o I need to eat.

SEE ABOVE ♥

I'll be online later -- am in class right now, and must nap afterwards, but!

I for one would think it'd be hilarious to have an entire wolf game all run with different versions of the same character. :(

...

I'd laugh forever.

I mean, considering how horrendously awful Sora was at it--yeah.

Yeah.
