Gygax meurt

manunuod sana kami ng ciné kagahapon. pero habang kumakain kami ng hapunan. bigla akong nakaramdam ng inis. parang lahat ng sinasabi sa akin ay pagkutya o paginsulto. iniisip ko na biro lang ito ng mga tao. i am a cheerful and quiet guy and i dont normally explode except on very specific situations. (1) i feel im cornered (2) i see someone i love cornered.

i remember seeing everyone laughing at something or someone. the story was about a certain (E) who i didnt want to be around with for reasons beyond the scope of this rant. they were telling me that i was going to have to deal with (E) anyway when i specifically expressed that i didnt want to. i was becoming agitated at the thought. but apparently noone was taking me seriously. everyone was laughing (at me). i exploded.

(K) approached me and told me everything. i felt even more stupid after. i was not ashamed for exploding. i thought i had every right to. i am sorry though for ruining (K)'s surprise and the whole plan for the night. i offered to just go through with it. but everything's ruined. im glad that i didnt say anything id regret.

(K) felt distant and occupied on the way home. nous avons pris un bus. this was it. (K) va me quitter et je serais seul encore comme toujours. soupire. i cried in public. something i dont usually do. i cried because everything has changed. there was no more tender caress. there was no warm hand holding mine while we wait to get off the bus. j'étais seul. and then the voices came back. i didnt deserve to be happy. it was all my fault. i am too emotional. i am out of control. peut-être c'est ma vraie destinée .. être seul .. :(

Dungeons & Dragons co-creator dies at 69 Saying goodbye to the grandfather of the role-playing game phenomenon. snip .. Dungeons & Dragons players create fictional characters and carry out their adventures with the help of complicated rules. The quintessential geek pastime, it spawned a wealth of copycat games and later inspired a whole genre of computer games that's still growing in popularity.

i started playing dungeons and dragons in college where i met with an odd group of nerds, outcasts, closet gays, writers, and artists (some of whom became lifelong friends). we found comfort in the worlds and people we created. i remember my first character. rod (rodrigo) the human mage. and our first encounter were giant ants. after casting sleep which didnt have any effect on the insects. i had to climb up a tree to escape. (sigh) .. the good old days ..
