This post is just going to be the World of Darkness stuff. There seems to be Werewolf, Changeling, Pentex, LARP, Mind's Eye Theatre, Mage, Kindred, Wraith, Technocracy, Immortal, Wyrm, and all sorts of good stuff. I've forgotten how intense the storylines of these RPGs are. Just reading the backs of a bunch of them I'm feeling that bug that is interested in playing again.
So, as usual, if you know me or are interested in buying them directly from me, message me and let me know and we can deal. :)

D&D (old school), AD&D Books, & D&D (both 3.0 & 3.5)
Here are some more books that I'm listing for sale. Again, if you are in town and/or you know me, contact me and I'd be happy to sell to you (probably at a bit of a discount) directly.
I found a stash of AD&D stuff, so I'll be adding those, and I found a Heavy Metal magazine from 2007! way cool.
**update*** I just realized that some of this stuff is D&D like... D&D before it was AD&D before it was D&D 3.0!! old stuff here! get your old stuff here!!! lol
:)
Thanks!!!

D&D Books that I'm selling, Part 1 of many
These are some books that I've acquired in various ways. I'm cleaning out shelves. Please check and see if you are interested in any of these. If you are click the link. :)
If you are interested in purchasing these directly, and you know me in real life, send me a message and I can just sell to you direct, and we can skip fees/shipping/blah/blah :)
As many of you know, I've finished my Undergrad program (Bachelor's of Liberal Arts, Major Emphasis History, Minor Emphasis in Art) I've applied to Grad School, and I've calculated the total cost to me to be about $50,000. At the end of which, I'll be a High School History teacher. Which I'm really really looking forward to. Due to a variety of reasons, money being one of them, I will be holding off on Grad School for a year, and I'll be just stocking money away towards that.
At any rate, all proceeds from the sale of these books go towards Grad School. Currently, I'm at $1,050.28 (I had to pay for graduation fees and application fees for Grad School)

Books I am giving away via PaperBack Swap Part 1 of many
I'm going through a lot of books, etc, right now. If you are interested in any of these books, let me know.
I've listed all of these through http://www.paperbackbookswap.com/ it is pretty amazing. I've attached the Amazon links for the books so you can see all the books I'm listing in one place. Now, if you don't want a paperback book account, or whatever, I understand, but I'm telling you, it's awesome! :)
I've five free books coming to me right now, I just need to decide what they will be.
Not that I'm getting anything by advertising them, I just think it's an awesome service, all you do is pay to mail someone a book to you, and then you have a credit, so you look through and find a book you want, and then you have them mail it to you.
Just FYI, all of these books will be donated to the Hospital Plant and Book sale on Friday, so if you can't get a hold of me by Friday morning, you should probably just come to the sale and but the book, because I think we're donating all the leftover books to the Long Term Care department afterwards.
These books include several of the "gaming" style books, Ravenloft, some of my cyberpunk, etc. I'm going to try to list books every day and post them here on this blog, and then link through facebook sales places. I'll soon be posting D&D type gaming books PHBs, etc. Those will be available through purchase on Amazon or through Gateway Games.

drama
I'm not sure why everything has to be so full of drama.
Granted, I've been making probably more than my own fair share, but seriously, it's just kinda silly.
We have a duplex we're renting out. Or rather, trying to. The previous renters moved out at the end of October. There was dirt and furniture left. So most everything eventually got moved. and then we decided to scrub it properly. and then paint.
Finally we show it to some people, most of whom say it's just not big enough. True story. The three of us living in there was interesting at times, but not too bad. Finally a guy and his girl and their baby look at it. The first words out of his mouth to me are: "Has anyone else looked at it yet?" They want it, they'll take it, they're very very excited about it. It's Tuesday and they could get me the money by Friday. I let them know that I showed it to this lady and she may bring her husband back to look at it. The girl immediately says "we can get you the money sooner...?" No, honey, it's that I promised I'd show it to someone else before I even knew you existed...
On Wednesday they get me a list of references. Which is where he works, a personal reference, and their current landlord. they've lived there for 6 years. Holy Cow! That's amazing! I want tenants for 6 years!!! So I call and there's one of those anonymous answering machines. I HATE those!!! how am I supposed to know I left the correct semi-confidential information on the correct answering machine if I don't know that it's your answering machine. So I hang up and I vow to call back the next day.
An hour later I have a solid one min long message from their current landlord saying that they are awesome and have lived there ever since high school, but the place isn't big enough.
Well, that sounds nice, I call them back and make an appointment to meet w/ them at 5.30 in front of the El Burrito store. At 5.15 I get a phone call asking where I am b/c we were going to meet at 5. I tell them that I'm home, thinking that we were going to meet at 5.30. (my husband later agrees that we said 5.30)....

Today in the News...
I heard the funniest clip on the radio this
morning. “The Ubuntu people are dancing in the streets as the French
has liberated their city. The French army is poised and ready to invade
Timbuktu.”
Seriously?!? Like, did no one in the radio editing
office or whatever listen to this clip and say, “nope, WAY too many
things that are potentially hilarious about this”
First to my head is: isn’t Ubuntu an operating
system or software or something like that? So then I get a vision of
all of these software nerds, like all dancing around Napoleon Dynamite style:
(and, as the pictures TOTALLY show, I believe Linux nerds can be hot and Napoleon Dynamite can be cool…)
The next thought on my list is “What? France
invaded something?? And is winning??? (Sorry, France, but I cut my
teeth on the “and just to be on the safe side, France surrenders” meme.)
And then my thoughts run to Timbuktu as this sort
of mythical place (this time, blame my mother! We’d always joke about
re-route things through Timbuktu.) So, in my mind, it doesn’t have the
legitimacy as, say, London, or even the Arctic
Circle. (we learned about the Arctic Circle in Science class… my
Geography teacher may have mentioned Timbuktu once in passing…)
But, I swear, I know Timbuktu exists!!!
Ok… but until this blog post, I probably couldn’t have told you that it was in Africa…
