Ohman, weekend!

Friday, I pretty much just hung out with assorted college kids --Lauren, Emily, Ty (Em's boyfriend), Ria, Maddie, Dominik, and Cecily-- from about noon until three in the morning. It was kinda righteous.

Lauren and I watched Saw II somewhere in the middle of that one. It's pretty good, and ohman am I a wuss. Just kinda in general. Various groupings of people also watched Willard and Thank You For Smoking, but I was phased out on the computer for most of that. (Fucking TV tropes.)

Saturday, I woke up when the amazingly amazing Lezzie-Beth called me and was all "Uhm, lab hours for Play Productions class, kthanksbai?" (in not quite those words) I wound up working in the theatre for the next five hours or so, helping to make a chastity belt. Which was kinda fun, especially the interlude in the middle where me and Lezzie-Beth wound up looking at assorted torture devices, as part of the "hmm, lets google chastity belt for reference!" thing.)

Got food, went upstairs...and shut myself into my room for all hours. I think my goal was to never leave and be real life social ever, mostly because I was...slightly socialed out.

This was actually a good thing, as it culminated in having a much needed gossip session with my fabulously sexy best friend, Veronica (seriously, go look at her new usericon. What the *fuck* Belanie1, no one has any right to look that amazingly good.) Of course, just as we started to get to the really good bits, my internet connection went all "fuck this shit!" and died on me. So me and V need to finish that gossiping sometime, probably/hopefully over spring break.

Me and The Katters wound up tossing text messages back and fourth for about an hour, while I did some housecleaning, and then I went to sleep. At four in the morning.

Eleven and a half hours later, or so, I woke up again. Man, there is nothing that will totally fuck up your sleep schedule as much as waking up at three thirty in the afternoon. On the plus side, I do feel particularly well rested.

Once awake, I stumbled downstairs, got food, remembered that I had been invited to [livejournal.com profile] xalolo's for gaming, went "Shit yes!", put on clothes, and walked to Harvard Square so I could catch a bus to his place.

...and waited. For a really frigging long time. Rarrrrrr.

EVENTUALLY the bus showed up, and I went over, and said hullo to Chris ([livejournal.com profile] xalolo) and to Nathan (Lab Rabbit with pretty hair) and to other assorted people, and wound up getting sucked into a game of "Covert Action", which is an pretty good game with a terrible winning mechanism. Like, "Planet Hollywood" terrible, only *worse*.

Played a couple rounds of Sixis, which is currently in beta, and I got to play a bunch of when I went and worked for Chris a couple weekends ago. It's interesting to play it as a team game instead of a two person game. I'd like to try it with three sometime now.

Played a game of "Blue Moon City" which is a suprisingly fun "God, this is the sort of game I hate, isn't it?" game. Part of that may have been that it takes about 20-40 minutes to play. Still though, I may have to accept that strategy/thinking games are not inherently evil.

(Totally unrelated note: WANT ICEHOUSE. WANT PLAY! Who's in Boston and willing to play with me? *whines*)

And then we played a million zillion rounds of RockBand, because it is the greatest video game ever. I no longer suck at the drums part on medium for "Foreplay/Long time".

Annnnnnnnnd I'm out. Class soon. I may wish to eat something. Hmm, maybe I should curl up in a corner and read. I haven't done too much of that lately.

MOOP!

are you a board gamer? I didn't know

We have board game night on Thursdays 7:30-11:30 and Sundays 2-11:30. If you're ever interested.

...

(For some reason, I completely missed this comment. And that's bad, because it's a Good Comment.)

For reference, I enjoy large amounts of games, especially silly party games --current favourites are Icehouse, Fluxx, Chrononauts, JungleSpeed, Settlers of Catan, Apples to Apples, Attribute, Who-What-Where, Pit (as played by our house rules, which is really closer to Spoons), Sleuth (which is an intelligent version of Clue), and other stuff that I'm forgetting because I'm sleepy...I'm open to trying just about anything except Puerto Rico (haaaaaate!)

...Yeah, you do realize that this was the single most dangerous thing you could ever say to me, right? What's your address again...?

(I like that my self preservation instinct *really* dissapears at the prospect of gaming. Because gamers aren't creepy in the slightest.)

*chuckles*

I feel less worried about it now that you've met me.
Yes, little girl, we have board games and kittens! Come into my parlor. Muhahahah...

shit, now I'm creepy again.

Wow, that's the second time someone's referenced that song to me in two weeks -- and no one had mentioned it to me in fifteen years prior to that.

My sister and I used to sing it in the car.

!!

Right, I remember that, you were mentioning the whole listening to Clam Chowder thing. If I had remembered proper, I would've just tossed out some lyrics instead of bothering to find a link. *grins*

Me and The Katters wound up tossing text messages back and fourth for about an hour, while I did some housecleaning, and then I went to sleep. At four in the morning.

And i successfully confused the issue by sending her a text right after you said you were going to bed. ^_^

. o O (yeah, on the weekend when my insomnia kicks in, i sneak downstairs & stalk whoever might be awake at that time.. you can probly guess the Usual Suspects ;) )

*grins* Well, feel free to IM me anytime you need someone to talk to and I'm up...I can't swear I won't be trying to sleep, just because I'm one of them crazy east coast folks like you, and I go to bed early.

See Eric's note on introversion.

"Socialed out" is the definition of being an introvert, dear. Read this. (http://www.theatlantic.com/doc/200303/rauch)

Yes, I generally consider myself an introvert. I'm just an exceptionally outgoing one.

(I am, as Winnifred the Woebegone would say, SHYYYYYYY!!!)

I may as well note here that, in addition to hair, I have a livejournal.
