Yesterday I learned that the Father of D&D, Gary Gygax, passed away last Tuesday in his home. Never have I been more sad. I first discovered D&D in High School in 1986 and I have been playing it ever since. I sincerely agree with Gary Gygax about the  newer editions of his fabulous game. There have been so many unneccessary rule changes and I for one do NOT appreciate the constant attacks on the First and Second editions of D&D! There was nothing terribly wrong with either system! It is the GM and the players who make or break a game and it is and always has been the GM who decides which rules shall be followed! Nothing was ever written in stone and yet people today have made the game of D&D into a system of concrete unchangable rules. Anyway I missed my chance to meet Mr. Gygax when I decided to attend DragonCon instead of GenCon Indy where he was a GOH! How I wish I could travel back and change this small thing! There will forever be a small black hole in the world of gaming as far as I am concerned! Gary will be missed!

Does anyone know "True Ressurection"!

Yesterday I did something very foolish and stupid. I found out that my crush has a girlfriend who is way prettier than me. I told my crush that I am happy he and his girlfriend are in such a great and loving relationship. I also told him that I have feelings for him, but that I understand he is committed to someone else. I too am committed to someone and I am unable to break things off at this point. I told my crush that I will always have my dreams at any rate. I have also resolved myself to tell my crush in person how I feel and that I am not just another groupie. I want to know that he does not see me like most of the other girls who hover around him and drool. I also will tell him that I understand he has a girlfriend and that I can never have him. I am probably not his type anyway. I feel foolish for sending the message to him and want to apologize when I see him in NY next month. My true problem is that I am married and although I truly wish I was not married it is not because of my crush on this guy, it is because my husband is not paying any attention to me and tends to treat me more like a baby-sitter than a wife. He actually said that the title of wife means nothing! And he told me that sex is not important in a relationship!! What is up with that?!?!

 Dyed my hair black while having red roots from last dye job...looked like my head was bleeding.

I am so bored at my job it's insane! I sit at desk for hours just waiting for someone to come and ask me a question, but don't get me wrong I love it! I get very few people and when I do have people ask me things I don't need to spend a lot of time finding the answer. I know the building that I work in like the back of my hand since I have been around for a long time. But it is boring, so I decided to break down and create a livejournal account--go figure. I probably won't use it that much but I will use it.
