I first got into role-playing in college, when my brother and I both bought the Core Rules for Decipher's CODA Lord of the Rings. Having no idea what I was doing, I immediately set out to write a campaign and roll up some characters to play it with. My brother obligingly played it, we ran around having a good time, and we both learned something valuable.
Oddly enough, of all the campaigns he or I ever did for CODA, that one is still my favorite...
But after a while lack of support/press/development from Decipher got annoying. We stopped playing when I moved to Amarillo and he stayed in Austin. And then...
I pick up a D&D book. I'm thinking it'll help me with my fantasy writing. I got sucked back in to wanting to run a campaign and roll up characters. Thankfully, I can't see WotC deciding they no longer care about D&D, and at some point I may actually find a group to play with!

End-of-year Headaches
Teaching high school is fun. It really is.
I love my coworkers and my bosses. One started only a few weeks before I did, so we got to learn everything together. How to log on to the
online gradebook/attendance system. What to do when the online gradebook/attendance system is down. Where to go to get supplies. Why they
needed teachers to take over on Jan. 22.
But sometimes, the paperwork is a hassle. I don't like paperwork.
Today, I collected autographs so I can leave Friday and not come back instead of having to return for the Tuesday after Memorial Day. I have nearly a full set - can't get one until I have my grades finalized, can't get two until I have everything else done, haven't been told yet what I have to do for one. I spent almost all day with my computer, a printer, and a vaguely glazed-over expression.
Next year, I swear I'll be more organized.

Hi world!
Now taking bets how long till I forget I have this.... or get annoyed at having to hold the mouse button for the first word or so to get anything typed.
I can't keep a real journal, what makes me think I can keep one where I actually show my thoughts to the world?
Anyway, it's worth a shot, right?
