Now Playing: Unsent - Alanis Morissette --> Cold Day in July - Dixie Chicks

Tales of Lassane has officialy started! Hooray! I had my first session Monday night, and everything seemed to go well. I've got to become used to running a game in GURPS again, though (the last time I ran a GURPS game was four years ago, and then for only two sessions), and I've got to get used to GMing on IRC, but everything should be cool.

Eventually, my plan is to get logs of the campaign up on the website, or at least some form of detailed summaries. But, given how good I am with updating... *shameless grin*

Well, at any rate, we'll see.

If you're ever on mIRC and wanna lurk, we meet Monday nights at 2200 CST, on Magicstar, #lassane. Lurkers are always welcome and occasinally tolerated. :)

Y'know, this marks the first year that I've taken summer school. I've only got one class (English 102), but man, I never quite realized how insane the schedule for summer classes can be! I mean, a little over three weeks to get a ten page research paper done while writing a six page mid-term essay? I've got no doubts that I can do it (I've already got the mid-term essay done) but, geez, that's a bit more cramped than I like things to be!

And, even though I know it's wrong... I can't help but be offended by the very nature of this class. "But, Kristin," you say, "Offended about what?"

I'm offended by the fact that we're supposed to be searching for deeper meanings in these stories. My gosh, it's like all famous liteary authors had some sort of hidden agenda: God, death, insanity, the loss of Faith (Hawthorne's Young Goodman Brown... I don't care about that! And it makes me wonder if the authors' even intended for their stories to have such deep meanings.

What if these guys just wanted to write a good story? (Poe and that chick that wrote The Lotteryexcluded. They obviously had an agenda.) And what's up with that one story, Shopping? I mean, what the heck is the point of that story?

Bleh, yeah. I know this is gonna be good for me in the long-run, y'know, with me wanting to be a famous writer myself and all that... but man, if I'm ever stuck in a future Liteary college book, I'm going to go to campus' throughout the world and tell people that there was no point to the story.

"I wrote it because it sounded good at the time."

Yeah, I like that.

*goes on dreaming*
