uberreinigerGoing to another L5R pre-release tournament tonight. Hopefully I'll do better than the one I attended Saturday. Not that I did badly on Saturday - I took 3rd - but 1st and 2nd get lots of the new cards w/o having to pay for them :) Tonight I'll be playing my faction, the Crab, which should make me do better. For those who know nothing of the game, the Crab are a samurai clan of really vicious warriors and berserkers who basically try to keep the forces of hell from conquering the empire. They're vicious, ugly and fun to play.
But enough gamer geek stuff. In three more days I'll be leaving for GenCon and I've got a ton to do. Isn't that always the case right before you travel? I've got to buy stamps and mail all my bills due this week, get traveller's checks, write my ghost story for![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
skynock and anirishspitfire and... oh yes! PACK!
I haven't taken a vacation in three years. This should be interesting. The only downside is that I'll be spending four days in close quarters with two married couples. (We're all sharing a room. I'm sleeping on the floor.) This should be... fun. Fortunately the convention hall is open 24/7 so if I get fed up to the gills on lovey-doveyness, I can flee as need be. But *sigh* I find it annoying that while I can flee my shady neighbors, my dead-end job, and my car-shopping headaches, it seems I cannot flee my wistful sense of longing for companionship. I mean come on, how BAD is it when you're part of a group going to a ROLE-PLAYING GAME convention and you're the ONLY ONE without a DATE!?
Oh well, a lot of cute goth chicks do show up at these things to play Vampire: The Masquerade. Maybe I'll manage to get up the nerve to like, talk to one of them or something.
