Just a few minutes ago, Bobby and I were sitting back to back in the study in total silence, "talking" back in forth over Gmail chat. We were RPing our characters for our gaming group's latest D&D game. I blame Patrick, our DM, for enticing us with extra experience points for developing the storyline of the game or doing background work on characters so that we have fallen to this new low. Since I am the unofficial story writer each week, then Bobby needed a way to get in on the extra XP, and this idea was born.
Before that, our worst transgression was the time I was "beta'ing" one of Bobby's essays for grad school; I was in the study and he was in the basement, both on our laptops, and I had a question, so we started chatting back and forth over Gmail before one of us thought to ask, "Wait, aren't we in the same house?" and Bobby came upstairs, pulled over a chair, and we actually spoke to each other as we worked side by side on his paper.
One final note: I am alive. I know that I have comments to answer on my last two posts; I started to answer some through a circumventor at work the other day, but it runs so damn slow that I lost patience. I have been working on a pretty major upcoming thing for SWG*, as well as getting ready to give my journal a pretty major overhaul**, so this hasn't left much free time for playing online. What have y'all been up to? I haven't been able to read my flist in weeks, so if you have news or any posts you think might interest me, please tell me about it! :)
* That should be announced tomorrow
** This should be announced some time in the next few weeks
Also, I still owe a post about the lake trip. Suffice to say, for now, that it was awesome. More details forthcoming. :)
