This is my personal domain, where I write about the ups and downs in my life, obsess about music and video games, post about characters I roleplay online, and write in loving detail about my various craft, web design and writing projects. I think of mysel

Apache upgrade, Leah lives!
I'm upgrading Apache to 2.2.8! Hopefully nothing will break horribly. D: I'll have to upgrade MySQL eventually, too, but Apache is more pressing right now, as most of the Ruby on Rails examples I've s...
Soul Collectors: chargen info + houserules
Gah! n.n I finished it... for now. I still need more books. Namely Ex2 Abyssals, the Yu-Shan book and the Underworld book. But, I think I've crammed enough on this initial page for people (as in... li...
Getting ready for Sis's visit!
I've got a lot of dust in my nose now. n.n; We moved around some stuff to make more room in the apartment. I have this wall now to the right of me and it makes me feel kind of claustrophobic. I dunno ...
Houseruling Ex2 Excellencies.
I've been fumbling over houseruling Excellencies for Ex2. I really would like to retain the dice "schticks" that each of the Exalt types got in Ex1 but... it's kind of hard to do, AND keep things bala...
Gas masks, Eutopia Project and Genetic Symphony!
"Gasmasks are just like... so post apoc. XD" Heh! I was going to play Sims 2, as I said, but I ended up getting distracted by chatting with Grey. ^^; I just said that while explaining Eutopia Project ...
Emberdays RP and oddness.
I ran ED today... it wasn't bad. I got nervous at some points and I didn't get as far as I would've liked. But... it was mostly fine. It looks like I may not be able to start the party at Daran's unti...
Soul Collectors, state of.
Here's what's going on with Soul Collectors right now. - I intend to start running it at the end of April / beginning of May. It will be on a biweekly schedule, and right now I think it will be Wednes...
Awesome RP weekend!
Including: - Wardragon 40K... awesome beyond words. - Panoply of Faith, first Exalted session ever run by Eni! Woo Eni \o/ (Plus a lot of ramble about my Panoply chara, Tashna!) - Yesterday's 1890's g...
I dislike this time of day... (insomnic rambling)
It's about 7 am, and I know I should have gotten to sleep like... 3 hours ago. I was in bed for almost that long, though. Usually I'm talking to Jon, or we're playing games on PSP or DS in bed, or oth...
OMG charsheets. o.o
Right, so I finished two today! Well, one was more of a tweaking than a finishing, since I'd already finished it months before, but there were new chargen rules to adjust for. First, Riezsa Sahlak-Cir...
Soul Collectors: potential houserules, etc.
I have a lot of work to do to write the Soul Collectors site (which I will be starting next week. Tuesday, I intend to see about buying the Dragon-blooded and Sidereal books, so I have all the Exalt t...
RP stuff! Wardragon, Ex2 griping.
Wardragon was short today. That's all right, I had fun posting Archana as usual. ^_^ I wanted to remind myself of some things for Archa to say next week, but I'll do that at the end of the post. I tol...
Wiki wiki wheeeee....
I made not just one wiki but two today... um... yesterday. Whatever. Kinda sleep deprived here. :O Here is DarksirenWiki ... 3.0, I guess. I rather like it. ^^ I guess I just couldn't get away from us...
Today's list of stuff to do.
First of all, re: last post... everything has been resolved, more or less. Sorry for the rant (I've already talked to everyone involved in private.) My to-do list for the moment. - Make my Solar char ...
Insomnia, wiki futzing, Soul Collectors thoughts.
Mrrrr... I napped around 1 am and woke up at 5 am. Good going, me! I'm messing with DarksirenWiki right now. I moved the PmWiki install I did at the beginning of the year over to my backups, and insta...
Obligatory Emberdays session post... :P
Hrmmm, I don't feel as confident about the last scene as I did about other scenes. Probably because there were way too many NPCs (even though Jon was writing a couple of them for me. I hadn't realized...
What! I'm up early? O.O
Well... sort of... I got up like 4 hours ago... but I'm starting to get tired again. I am going to sit and write the rest of the Emberdays stuff and see if I have time to nap. Hrm, on wiki stuff, I am...
Emberdays wiki stuff, blah blah.
I'm not doing much lately, just gradually building up the subcategories for characters in Emberdays and writing an odd NPC profile here and there. The site is still not organized to my liking, and the...
Ouroboros is Broken: The Soul Collectors
(This Exalted game idea is mostly typed up from a hand-written journal I was jotting notes in while playing Sims 2. I'm posting it here now because insomnia doesn't want me to get to sleep! =_=) Premi...
Cabin fever? + Emberdays.
I feel like I'm tired of staying inside so much. I want to go outside, but I keep thinking, I have no money to do anything out there. And I have to get dressed for the cold, but I get really picky and...
Eaxia... and another sketchy chara concept!
I am poking at Eaxia, on Kalli's suggestion. It's kinda like an offshoot of DR1, I guess. And it has this kind of "not quite finished" feeling to it, I guess that's because it's a free game with a sma...
Another odd thought about Jackal...
I think he actually strongly resembles Albireo from Reborn Again in some ways. They are similar kinds of people, and in a way even *look* similar. Well, they're both blond, on the tall side, good look...
Playing the Jackal... ED stuff.
I finished another scene with Kraken in ED tonight. It was one of those moments I just *really* enjoyed running. I so rarely get that rush of "yes! this is fun!!!" when I'm STing that when it comes al...
A webcomic I read; thoughts about gayness.
Yesterday, or this morning, I stayed up reading all of YU+ME:dream (well of what's available so far). It's a pretty comic... the art style improved so much over each issue. I thought that not knowing ...
Emberdays yesterday...
...it was bad in some parts, and good in others. Mmm, I kind of messed up during Kraken's part. So I got discouraged for a little while. In hindsight I really think I screwed up that scene by adding a...
Creating a myth, and the reality of love.
These are the days, the end complete A world still turning to the sound of the suffering You are the jury, we are the saints Our minds divide, the past repeats A war still brewing in the hearts of tho...
Anniversary dinner, Emberdays babble (and Macgyver!)
Gonna go out for dinner with husband ^^ Since we didn't get to celebrate our anniversary yet. We're going to a steakhouse I think, 'cause I wanted red meat and red wine. Wooo, carnivorous boozing! Ye...
Prepared for once. o.o Mostly.
I'm running Emberdays in ...several hours, and I actually have stuff written down. o.O I don't plan THAT far ahead, but I try to at least get the big descriptive bits written ahead of time when I'm no...
A lot to think about :O
So today turned out ... pretty cool. :D I met a new person! and we get along! I met her 'cause she's in the modern game I mentioned earlier. Which has a name, and I should use it, but I'll change my t...
I got through today @_@
And I wasn't sure it'd go well because I woke up pretty depressed. I always wake up feeling worse than I do when I go to sleep. I don't know why that IS. =_= But despite that, I was able to nearly fin...
