Stolen from dougals

My 'New Year' was officially celbrated on November 1st, but since I have to abide by the american calendar, I find it an excuse to party.

My First stop was Kirk's festivities. After getting lost for only 30 minutes, I found his pad and hung out for a bit, it was mellow, but then again, it was just starting.

Next I went to a co-worker's apartment. Drunken festivities ensued. I'm trying to get the photos from the party, and will post them, when I can.

Is there an unwritten rule to party going that says?
"If you have been a bartender in the past, you will be the bartender for all parties henceforth (unless a more suitable, or active, bartender is available)"

I really need to update this thing more often, instead of barraging your collective eyes with an extended update of my life, but...

The holi-daze are winding down, or are done, depending on your preferences.

The most disturbing thing, so far, is that I gave my mom a copy of Twisted Sister's Twisted XMas and she liked it! This was much better than I had anticipated because she kept playing it around my aunt, who hates anything with a guitar.

My Solstice was spent doing a whole lot of nothing, which was mildly depressing, but I have been so long out of the loop with most of my friends they think I'm dead or have finally moved back to my homeworld.

Xmas with the family was fairly painless. None of the children tried to kill themselves. It was kind of strange not having my daughter around, but I talked to her and she seems happy in Deutchland.

I Am A: Chaotic Neutral Human Druid (4th Level)


Ability Scores:

Strength-13

Dexterity-16

Constitution-14

Intelligence-16

Wisdom-16

Charisma-14


Alignment:
Chaotic Neutral A chaotic neutral character follows his whims. He is an individualist first and last. He values his own liberty but doesn't strive to protect others' freedom. He avoids authority, resents restrictions, and challenges traditions. A chaotic neutral character does not intentionally disrupt organizations as part of a campaign of anarchy. To do so, he would have to be motivated either by good (and a desire to liberate others) or evil (and a desire to make those different from himself suffer). A chaotic neutral character may be unpredictable, but his behavior is not totally random. He is not as likely to jump off a bridge as to cross it. Chaotic neutral is the best alignment you can be because it represents true freedom from both society's restrictions and a do-gooder's zeal. However, chaotic neutral can be a dangerous alignment because it seeks to eliminate all authority, harmony, and order in society.


Race:
Humans are the most adaptable of the common races. Short generations and a penchant for migration and conquest have made them physically diverse as well. Humans are often unorthodox in their dress, sporting unusual hairstyles, fanciful clothes, tattoos, and the like.


Class:
Druids gain power not by ruling nature but by being at one with it. They hate the unnatural, including aberrations or undead, and destroy them where possible. Druids receive divine spells from nature, not the gods, and can gain an array of powers as they gain experience, including the ability to take the shapes of animals. The weapons and armor of a druid are restricted by their traditional oaths, not simply training. A druid's Wisdom score should be high, as this determines the maximum spell level that they can cast.

Some people said that when I gained the ability to drive that the world would unceremoniously end.

Well... That would be now. I finally, after 35 years on this rock have that little piece of plastic that says I can operate a vehicle. And just to goad the universe into action, I purchased one also.

The universe did not give up this gracefully; in fact it fought almost every step of the way. I bought the car in August from a friend. I've been making payments on it to my bank but they started sending me nasty letters saying that my loan was to be canceled because they did not have the title in their possession. I verified that the other party had sent it to my bank,but they still said they did not have it. After a few talks with my bank again, I found that they did have the title, but it was still in the previous owners name. They wanted me to transfer it into mine, but there was one hitch to that idea: the previous owner is currently a member of the Army and stationed in Grafenwoehr, Germany. To make matters worse, he never signed the title over to me. Luckily his wife was still in the states and has been given power of attorney. After two trips to the DMV (and $350) I got the registration and title in my name. My bank is happy now.

Then, after I got the necessary insurance for the vehicle, the car would not start. After tinkering and a few calls to AAA, The battery was DOA ($85).

Now, finally the universe has been quieted and I can now perform my duties to the 'human' race and pollute the air just like the rest.

Today I was allowed to work from home to test a new VPN Client and firewall system for my job.

I don't remember who told me about this but it is still good, and up to episode 6!

my friend demonstrated a new toy that might help me actually get down and contribute to this thing.

The toy is called Flock. It is based on Firefox and includes a bunch of usefull plug-ins for the purpose of blogging and the like.
So for the first posting I decided to add some imagery.
