Bryn (gnome cleric of Oghma) was my first D&D character. It’s a trope that we work through trauma with our PCs, but she was the one I played as I was coming out to society as nonbinary while simultaneously leaving a controlling religious environment.

I’m the notetaker at the TTRPG tables I’m involved with, and I’ve written most of our stories up and posted them online (with permission). Here’s a thread of links if you’re so inclined!

I wrote words about the week about food and gift exchanges and tattoos!

I have gone to a Christmas party.
After about a half hour I saw a cat in a doorway.
“Oh that’s Hank. He’s sweet but older and has tumors in his ears and he’s never been very social so don’t be surprised if he doesn’t let you pet him”
Two minutes later:

It’s a rainy Sunday morning and while it seems more than a few folks are getting snow today, I’ve no such luck. But it’s still a good day for staying indoors and chatting next to a fire (even if it’s on the TV) with a beverage of choice - water for me today, thanks.

in case you missed it, I have two new tattoos as of yesterday!
Five years and two months ago I’m had 0 tattoo.
Today I have 6.
And I’m already planning numbers 7 and 8 . . .

On my arm is the Death of Rats from the Discworld novels in the style of the MCR’s Black Parade logo. Ghost, my artist, perfectly brought this idea to ink.
On my leg is a copy of a medieval cat churning butter. I have named him Klaus, and he brings me joy.

Today was our work Christmas party and our office inadvertently sat at tables in a manner some would say was separated by gender. One of the guys said “oh so this is the guys table” and my inside thoughts came out and I said “well I guess I don’t belong”

Bought a used copy of Gangs of New York and the second disc with the second half of the movie is unplayable - to the point it freezes my player, requiring me to unplug it just to eject the disc.
Sigh.

Slept in a Tragically Hip shirt, when I left your house this morning it was a little after nine

I am colorblind and have no frame of reference. From the descriptions 1 & 2 would be black; 3 would either be really dark or really bright, and 4 would be some kind of blue-white, maybe?
What's your favorite color?
1. sandstorm on Mars
2. dark nebula
3. intergalactic rogue star
4. icy ocean moon

I just finished watching this week’s episode of Welcome to Derry and all I can say is that is was beautiful and I hated every minute of it. But that’s the true horror of the show: we already know the outcome even as we root for the protagonists, doomed as they are.
I also wrote words; read them?

December 7 is Pearl Harbor Day and I’m thinking of my friend - and Pearl Harbor survivor - Mr Tom Poole.
In the times in which we find ourselves I find myself often asking “what would Mr Tom do?” and the one thing I know he’d do is that he’d try to do the next right thing. I try to do that, too.

Six is a low number for me as I am a serial rewatcher of movies I like.
How about a movie I’ve watched more than six times this week?
