So, the other night, I'm gibbering with my girl in bed about random stuff. The conversation takes an unexpected turn:
Me: Blah blah blah D&D blah blah blah.
Her: Y'know, I once bought D&D when I was sixteen.
Me: ?! Really?
Her: Yeah. It came in a red box and had the DMG and the PHB....
Me: !!!!!
Her: What?
Me: YOU HAD RED BOX D&D?!?
Her: ... Yes...?
Me: DID YOU PLAY IT?!?!?!
Her: No. Didn't have anyone to play it with. But I read it. Hee. It said that as a player, I wasn't supposed to read the DMG, but I did anyway.
Me: WHAT HAPPENED TO IT?!?!
Her: ... I dunno. Maybe it's still at my mom's place.
Me: CAN YOU FIND OUT?!?!?!?
Her: Yeah, I guess. Is it important?
Me: ONLY IF YOU'RE A COMPLETE GEEK ON THE INTERNET! OMG, IF THE CATPISSMEN HAD KNOWN ABOUT YOU, THEY'D BE WORSHIPPING AT YOUR FEET, NOT THAT YOU'D WANT THEM TOO....
Her: Cat... piss... men...?
[Insert side conversation about catpissmen and jerks who come into her store]
Her: Well, I'll see if my mom has it. I'm not sure though.
Me [having finally figured out how to turn off the verbal capslock]: It's okay if she doesn't have it. I mean, it's not like I want to play it or anything. It's just... kind of like a historical text or reference text. I just wanna see. God, I thought I was the one who got you into gaming, but it turns out you have more geek cred than I do.
Her: Hee. I didn't know it mattered. It just looked, y'know, interesting, so I picked it up.

And that is how I fangirl'd all over my girl. I'm such a dork. :D |

I went sledding today with my girl and my lab. It was fairly warm (-3 degrees Celsius-ish), the snow was slick, the hill was tall, and our boogie boards (it says so right there) hadn't fallen apart yet.
I came home wet, cold, achey and hungry.
It was AWESOME. |

MY THESIS IS IN!!! In two days I should know if the formatting was off. But I used another thesis as the template and carefully followed the instructions on the website. Oh the relief. To know that this is actually done.
Now I can focus on goofing off (as is only proper), trying to submit papers (as is expected), and trying to be a good technician (all I'm good at are slightly amusing anecdotes).
EDIT: I now have a link to my thesis since I submitted it online. So go read up on grassland birds (actually, it's probably pretty boring...). |
