... *faceplants onto desk* Wizard need caffeine badly.

So I'm not going to be going to Escapade this year. Sigh. I kept holding out hope that I'd manage, but it's time to face the music and admit I just can't afford it this year. This sucks. After this year, I was really looking forward to spending a few days just hanging out with my friends and talking fantalk and probably drinking too much again at at least one point, and ... Yeah. *gloom*

The Dutch have been suspiciously quiet this last week. This is what's known as the silence before the storm, isn't it? *eyes Holland nervously*

Roleplaying tonight, which at least is a bright point in my week.

[ETA] Fuckity crap. Just finished the red stripe on the Gryffindor hat I'm knitting, and guess what? I forgot to brig the yellow yarn. So not only am I knitting-less at work, but this evening as well, which means I'll be fidgeting like mad. I think it may be worth nipping down home for the yarn, another quick look for my dice, and possibly to change, before I go to Kai's. *muttergrumbleBAHHUMBUG*[/ETA]

Sadly, google gave me only one result for "yarn delivery service" and that was just a blog. The internet isn't as versatile as it always pretends.

Heh. Well, I think the extra pound it'll be to get home and back here for RPing is cheaper than a delivery service, anyway. :D

But on the other hand the carrier would certainly wear a fancy knitted uniform.

And you just reminded me of a role playing group I attended long ago. At some point the GM got himself a girlfriend who refused to participate in the game for religious reasons, but attended the sessions anyway. She simply sat nearby with her knitting, listening intently to every word.
*twitches*
Those were some damned self-conscious rpg sessions. :D

To be fair, she felt perfectly comfortable and really enjoyed listening to the games, to a degree that she knew more about most characters and the campaign than anybody else, she just refused strictly to participate, because rpg=evil.

It was weird.

That does sound weird! I just multitask knitting with other things. LIke RPing, or watching a movie, or reading porn online, or ... Yeah, I'm a pervy granny in a 25-yo body. Sigh.

I'm not sure how open god is to a 'but I didn't inhale' kind of argument, but of course I wish her the best of luck with that :)
Knitting while rp-ing is perfectly okay. I even advocate that because it distracts the people from devouring the whole chocolate supply, constantly rolling their dice to use up the bad numbers or building dice tower until they keel over and roll about everywhere. And the like.

You know, pervy_granny would make a great username. I'm surprised it isn't taken yet.

And I am terminally talkative today, but I shut up now because I have offline stuff to do.

What's wrong with dice towers, eh? Eh? *pokes*

And yeah, refusing to play it but watching it quite that attentively is ... odd. o_O
