Big Mistake

[unforth]

It really was a big mistake for them to put computers in this classroom. Interestingly, I seem to be one of the only students not paying attention, which, I think, is probably testament to the dedication of Grad students. Or the extent to which they worry that they'll get caught. :) It seems strange, somehow - I can't really think of any good reason to pay attention, but I guess at least some of the others feel that they really aughta.

Anyway, I'm not used to general updates cause I usually don't give them, but, well, I'm exceptionally bored right now so it's not a normal situation. :) Still, normally I'd write (I've started writing up the Hogwarts game, but I'm having a heck of a time figuring out where to start) but I have a dreadful headache, which I've found has greatly limited both my grammatical complexity and my vocabulary - very bad things to limit if one hopes to produce quality writing.

I find I'm having trouble figuring out where to start. Should I start with summer vacation, as the Harry Potter Books do? I'd have to make up a bunch, but that's I suppose. Should I start with the opening feast? That's where the actual game started, of course, but it feels very abrupt whne I try to start there. There are also a bunch of intermediate points in that range, and later points too, so I just can't decide.

I also find I'm reluctant to write in dialog for other people's PC's - I don't wish to do anyone any injustice, and I fear being unfair to my friends. I've run into this problem with previous attempts to write up games as well - I just worry some how. :)

Anyway, I'm starting to worry that I'm drawing attention by being the only person in the class typing, so I'm going to shut up now. :)

Oh yeah, one other note - All us wrestling fans will miss you Eddie! RIP

Which class are you in? At least you don't have to worry about Suitcase girl in your classes (a very annoying SLIS student who has graduated, thankfully). I'm thinking about a LJ community for the HP story. We can settle on an outline via consensus and everything.

Have fun in class!

L528 - Collection Development. It's in 302, with Prof. Sowell. They put in a whole bunch of computers a couple weeks ago. :) And I'd be cool with an LJ community, just lemme know. Looks like I'm gonna have to start using this thing. ;)

There once was a boy and his stick...


...you see, he really loved his stick, and the magical powers associated with his stick. You know, like getting chicks. Oh yeah, and magic powers...don't forget the magic powers ;).

If you write this story the way you write everything else you write, I doubt you'll have much trouble for all too long. But I'll wish good luck with it anyway...cuz I'm just that nice of a guy :).

Dude, I didn't know you read my LJ. ;) Anyway, the problem with that start is that my character is a girl (a straight girl), so I don't particularly want to use my magic stick to get with girls. ;)

[ultimabaka.livejournal.com]

Hey...girls have magic sticks too...you know...the magical pulsating vibrating kind ;). If you wanna be really technical about it, you can definitely use that to get with chicks...and it would make the story that much more interesting :).

She could use it to get with dudes too....but ewww...

I still think there is wisdom in forming an LJ RP forum for the Hogwarts game ^.^ That way you would not have to make up dialog. It's odd how much the Hogwarts game inspires one to fill in gaps between games. I've never really cared much for running "scenes" outside of games for LARPs before this one....but I really feel like there is so much to do and so many conversations to have! I mean if the next time that Marcus and Delia (sp?) got to talk was Christmas that just wouldn't seem right. I'm sure a lot of people are in the same boat.

Yeah, I feel exactly the same way about basically everything. :) And yes, that's how you spell Delia.

hiya! Ben drydem tells me that you knit Hogwarts House scarves! If so, I would LOVE to buy a Ravenclaw one...

lemme know! :)

Well, normally I'd say that I don't have the time, cause, well, I don't, but as it turns out I have an extra Ravenclaw all finished and stuff already - I got a bunch of requests that I made all of but a few people haven't showed up to games, so haven't gotten theirs. I'd be happy to sell it to you. :) You'll have to let me know who you are though. ;) It'll be $5.
