Of Friends and Monsters

This time it is only been 3 months, so we are improving, somewhat at the least.

So… no special theme here or something, just felt like writing something on my blog. Just because I can.
Quite a lot of stuff has happened the last few months, sometimes I feel like I am riding a rollercoaster and I don’t know when a quick part starts or ends, but I mostly enjoy it.
The last few months have mainly been about friends, new friends and a bit of old friends.

Let’s start with the old friends, these consist mostly of friends from across the globe, ones that I have known mainly through the interwebs, the ones that come and go, the ones that stay for a while and move on, you get the gist.
Lately I have thought of a few of them again, Lynn from Spokane, Raz from England, Oriagi  from England, Julia from Germany and Natalie from Blackpool.
All these people have been nice buddies and friends at some point in the last.. 10(already? geez I’m getting old) years or so. I have talked with you all, laughed with you, wanted to smack your head in and just hang out.
Some I have lost contact with, some I still have some words every now and then, but none of you have been forgotten.
Through games, websites or other (forgotten) friends we have found each other, picked up the talking and maintained contact. With some of you I have experienced the wildest adventures and tough emotions, I have scaled mountains, killed Pic’s, romanced as a detective, build mansions, arrested criminals, died in your arms, hyped about the next new game, mourned an old one going dark forever, discussed tactics and taunted you while dodging your bullets. Those were great times, and I know there are even greater times to come yet, perhaps with you, perhaps with new friends.  I still remember each and everyone, so if you read this, give a shout-out to me!

Now for friends, and I have to start with the most important update in that area, my friend Steven and his (now) wife Mariska are married now! They were a lovely couple to which I was his Best Man(damn, the honour) . The day was long, but so very worth it, had a lot of fun, and again I want to wish the couple the best in life!
On other news, I have really bonded with Didi(who plays Ardalys) lately. Been chatting a lot with her, and I think she is a great friend. I hope this won’t be over any time soon, all of this is way too much fun to have this end sometime soon. Which reminds me, I should start to discuss Artificial Intelligence with her, although I have a slight feeling she’d rather stick her sword in me rather then cutting this subject *grins*. Did I mention teasing her is fun? No? Well, it is, albeit slightly dangerous(but it is a good Dodge or Endurance training). Also, her dog, Mushu, can be real funny when you start calling him while on skype *grins*

As for new friends, quite a few of my acquaintances have been ‘upgraded’ to friends, after a good bit of talking with them and getting to know them(yes, I am very picky like that, I consider a friends(although the internet one is somewhat special for me) something you’d have to earn, someone I meet is an acquaintance, whom may or may not have the potential to grow into a friend). The biggest batch came with a new thing for me(more on it below), a new LARP, to which 2 of them asked me to join in on. I can say I was really flattered by it and try to live up to their expectations. Through them I have more contact with a few other friends, also connected via the LARP as well as a lost sister to one of them(and a girlfriend to another), to which I am happy to talk. I have had a great time with them so far on plotting for the LARP, DnDing(much better then the other DnD party I had) and fun in general. They helped me with a lot of my skeletons and opened a door to a new place, for which I am grateful.

The best part about all of this post? I haven’t talked about missing or lost friends, for I haven’t got any! I have not lost a friend these past months, so jeey! for that.

As for the LARP, the only thing I am allowed to say, it is a LARP with a Western meets Steampunk feel, so basically a Western LARP with Steampunk touches to it. There is much more I know about it(well, duh) but which I am not allowed to say. Perhaps I can soon tell more about this, and then I most definately will say more about it. But for now, this is what you’ll have to do with.

Now for my usual closing of things, music!

I’ll start of with Axxis – The Monsters Crawl:

Second off, Tenacious D – Master Exploder

From Skyrim, sung by a beautiful voice: Malukah – The Dragonborn Comes

And lastly, University of Tennessee Men’s Chorale – John Williams Is The Man
