I Have (a) Character!

[qos]

Yesterday evening I did something I have not done in several years: I sat down at a table with a friend and created a new RPG character. The young lady in this icon is Jehanne, who I will be playing on the Saturday after Thanksgiving, and hopefully for some time thereafter. She turned out to be a nice balance of some of my own strengths (communication skills, diplomacy, and etc.) and some of my wish-fulfillment traits (bold, athletic, adventurous).

I'll be sitting down at the table with two people I know -- Hob and _storyteller_, one I know slightly from LJ and will have met once prior to the game, and one (or two?) I will have just met. It will be the first time I have ever gamed with anyone but my previous, long-running group, which makes me both excited and nervous. I'm glad that Hob is going to be there.

Going to work today does not thrill me -- but it's going to be a short week.


Oh, and I finally saw Good Night and Good Luck on Saturday night with uncrowned_king. If you haven't seen it, make the time. It is an excellent movie, both in themes and in artistry. Afterward, uncrowned_king and I had some excellent conversations about justice and rights. Then we watched The Contender, which is also quite good and treats some of the same ideas, but paled in comparison to GN&GL.

Something I will welcome, once I have enough free time to manage more than one game.

At the moment, school and regular life is keeping me pretty busy.
