F2F 4: Too Much Candy, Never Enough Mojitos.
Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon: Madison, WI from June 20-22 2008! Official website.
Color me surprised, I had no idea that you were a gamer.
It's a very fetching look on you, I might add.
Computer, RPGs, board games?
Computer. I think the general rule was if Blizzard made it, I played it. Diablo II and Starcraft were my addictions of choice.
Actually "Cass" originally comes from my Diablo II's Assassin named Cassady. My Necromancer was the stronger character though. Except when I had to carefully explain to the very young nephlet why he couldn't play as a character who could
raise the dead.
Kids today...
I played the navigator role for DxH in other games. He'd shoot, I would figure out the tricks/way to survive/puzzles of each level. It was a shocking amount of fun. The Halos and Half Lifes of the spectrum.
I tried with Wing Commander as well, but it turned out to be my insomnia's krytonite and I could never stay awake. The Ambien of its time.
So, you don't have access to Halo 2, then.
No. Sadly. But I may have all of the Halo2 music on my iPod. Including bits that weren't even included in the game.
Heh. A Buffista Frag-Fest via Live would be amazing.
Wouldn't that just be so damn amazing? Scary, but so fun.

I need a new video card. Now. And maybe an XBox.
Raq glows. It's scary. She just shines.
I agree. I couldn't put my finger on it, but she has a Presence.
Lo! I have completed my epic LJ post recapping the weekend! It is, as you would expect, hella long, and full of too much detail in some places and not enough in others. There's only a smattering of good writing. But I spent many hours on it, and my fingers hurt, so give it a go if you're bored. Maybe I say something nice about you!
I am a perfectly capable and canny driver, and I am shocked that you would imply otherwise.
SA, darling, of course you are a perfectly capable and canny driver. You just have a warp drive. Also, the ability to maneuver tricky mountainous terrain while simultaneously composing and text-messaging dirty limericks about PADDYWHACK. If that's not capability, I don't know what is.
I got to dance to "I Want Candy" with Laura Shapiro. Who JZ kept calling, "My best director EVAH!" because (apparently) Laura was/is a theatrical director and JZ was in a play directed by Laura.
Watching Laura Shapiro dance to "I Want Candy" was one of the highlights of prom for me. There was some serious joy there.
Damn! Sports Night! That was the other DVD set I planned to buy.
Fay, if you EVER have Sports Night needs, just come to me. Just ask Kate P. I go to
great lengths
for that show.
In Ick news, I woke up fever-free. Yay! Which means I came into work. Boo! I still can't breathe, and Chloraseptic is my best friend, but I feel light years better. (Actually, I woke up and took my temp and it was 97.1, confirming my suspicions that I go into stasis during the night.)
Don't worry, Pete, that was mostly joking anyway.
Lordy, I feel like I'm just beginning to come out of my coma. Haven't been this gronkified in a while. Jesus.

Hell yes.
Oh, shit, I forgot to put in my post the part where you have awesome hair. I'll go do that right now because I doubt many people have read it yet.

Honestly, that blows me away. I have never, even for a moment, thought of my hair as approaching anything near the level of awesome. My hair and I mutually agree to coexist, and that works for us. So thank you!
As I mention, I basically love your entire look. The full amyth aesthetic.

Seconded!
Loving the pics of everyone. Tom Scola and Fay, in particular, took some amazing pictures.
Everyone's pics are marvelous, a lovely way to hang onto all the foamy and funny and snark. Fay's, however, are made golden by her captioning. Curses! Someone who's seen behind me affable facade!
Pretty, pretty people. Where peeps go? (snif)
Also? The whole "how you pronounce amyth and amych" discussion? I have no rationale for my "ammitch" preference, but my pronunciation of amyth is simply short for amethyst.
