I've got a girl whose idea when I was spawning/planning her was "fox", and... it turns out that not only is she 'weaker than average' but she's also a good hunter, fighter, and fisher.

Now, the thing about foxes in stories, usually, is they're not the strong ones. They're the tricksters and the clever ones. So when my character's got skill but not strength, and then the fishing lets her get a food source that's fairly wild-seeming to me... I am pleased.


I just realized that this may be spoilering one of my characters if anyone reads this who's in her area... but I don't really care whether people know my characters are mine or not. *shrug*)

And... the character generator has once again decided to be surprisingly appropriate. I spawned a character who, as far as I can tell, is secretly a puppy, personality-wise. And what do I find out today but that she's an expert at digging? :lol:


Hey, I tried the exact same thing, tried making a character who is a 'fox'. Much Stronger than Average, awkward hunter, efficient fighter. Skillful at fishing, but really as far as I know foxes don't catch fish, at least not the type of fox she's based off. *sigh* I hate that, when you spawn a character with a specific idea of what you want, and it doesn't work out at all. You got lucky. xD

Whoever wants to play " Cat Lady" must be careful because it has a saving problem. Today I had to start from many hours behind.

Is that the horror game? Is it fun?

Yes, it is a strategic horror game. It is not scary like some games people play , but interesting.

People who decide to mow the lawn at 8:00 a.m. Seriously? Grass does not need to be cut that badly in October! :evil:

Seconded.

Also, people who mow the lawn in general.
Stop doing that, I'm allergic, you're ruining my day.

When it's the first time in several weeks that it's not monsooning outside and that morning at 8am is the only time it's dry enough to mow, people are gonna mow.

On the verge of a mental breakdown. Someone in my family is given a brand new car. And my car decides it wants to die as I'm leaving work. Someone just shoot me? Or give me a big bottle of vodka and make sitting here on the side of the road outside my job worth it.. When it rains it pours..
Oh look, another glorious morning… makes me SICK!

Use to have neighbors who were all drugged out of their minds and mowing at all hours of the night...those days, I would have been happy with 8am. :lol:
Now though, I have learned to tune things out rather well. (lucky me).

Same. I also hate the ones who use the blowers, holy hell is that bad.

Once again, I request that you send us poor Californians all that wet weather. We would love you.

Why thank you.
I'm spending mine at work, having anything but a blast. Difficult client. The bosses have forbidden me from working tomorrow though, so that is something.

Apparently I miss all the exciting stuff in my hometown. Read on the local police scanner page for facebook, that there was a theft at the local family dollar. (One of those cheap lamps that are less than $10). Anyway. The getaway car? A flipping semi truck. Led the police on a high speed chase between here and the closest major city. They deployed spike strips like 3 or 4 times before actually blowing out a tire.
Thankfully no onew as hurt. But damn the one day I take a break from Facebook and then i find out about all of this? Crap!
*cue lamp humor* Must have been the leg lamp from A Christmas Story..
Oh look, another glorious morning… makes me SICK!
