Blog Vacation

I haven't been blogging recently. To be honest I don't really see much of a reason to. I'm not saying I'm abandoning my blog, but I'm not going to be writing for a while. I don't know how long exactly but blogging is not something that is taking up much of my time these days. I might start in the new year, but otherwise I don't feel I have anything to say on my blog.

End of the World Scenarios

I finished the first draft of my essay last night. I think I can do better on it, but I'm taking a break and will get back to it tonight. Anyways, I'm back home for Thanksgiving and look forward to much turkey and stuffing. In other news SCIENCE WILL DESTROY US ALL!
Yeah, you heard me. Science is going to destroy us all. Look what I found on Stumbleupon. Yeah, that's right. The top five ways science can kill us all, and recreating the Big Bang is not even the top one. A lot of this has to do with something called the Large Hadron Collider, which is supposed to bang together dangerous particles or something. I'm not really up on all the sciency details. Apparently scientists have made this thing somewhere in Switzerland and plan on turning it on in mid-November this year. First off, after reading all this I am now going to say that I am afraid for my life and the life of my loved ones if this thing goes off and recreates the Big Bang or opens a wormhole to the future or something like that.
And that's not even the scariest thing. Number One way science will kill us all is nanotechnology, which in the wrong hands can create an army of desructo-bots that will devour all organic matter in there path. What really scares me is that my campus is working on a place that will build nanobots. This makes me feel uncomfortable, by which it means it scares me shitless. I am seriously considering making a sign and marching in front of were the building is being made and starting a protest on the grounds that this building could lead to the destruction of all life on earth.
Well, I need to get some cold water and calm down. Figure out a way to calm down. I can't link to the wikipedia article on the Large Hadron Collider. Look it up on wikipedia.

Feeling Slightly Overlooked

Hey folks, it looks like I'm three-for-three on RPG posts. I've posted three times and tried to start part two of the game three times and so far I've gotten nowhere. I can never get everyone in the same comfy lounge at the same time. I'm starting to wonder if this game was meant to be.
Well, aside from the whole RPG thing I am also in the process of putting the finishing touches on my Kabbalah paper. I'm just going to write up a final paragraph that will put rational philosophy and mysticism in the Jewish context up against the future development of human society or something like that. Shouldn't be to hard.
Still wish I could get this game running. I know in my heart it is a freaking awesome game, and it would be if I got everyone to get here on the same day.

I need Role-Play

Well, no Weimar Mage today. Two of the guys can't make it and now I'm listening to everyone talking about how cool and epic 10-Mage is. I am banging my head on a wall thinking why didn't I play because it's awesome.
What with running a role-playing game that I hope to be totally epic, and hearing about a role-playing game that is totally epic I am beginning to realize something. I need to play a character. Because of this I am thinking about getting involved in the local Vampire LARP, as it is the only LARP going and the only game I can see myself in being involved in. I'm thinking about playing a Thelemite who becomes a vampire. I'm working up what else to do with him. Now I'm going to go.
This is Role-Play Update. Goodbye.

Where To Find Supernaturals

I was going to post Wednesday night, when I had my Autism speech. I forgot though, so I'm blogging now. It's raining outside and I'm a good walks away from my residence. I am in fact at Cafe 1842. I haven't ordered anything yet and I'm trying to decide what my next move should be.
Anyways, Wednesday was when I made my talk about being autistic and how that affects communication. My mom kept me in check so I wouldn't bore anyone, and I made alot of jokes. I can't really say if this whole thing was an education for me. Except that one of the people who asked questions brought up a bunch of stuff about how wireless internet is making the world autistic. Since I'm on a wireless connection at the moment I'm wondering if I should be worried.
School is alright. We're getting to paper writting season, and I've got two pages worth of a Kabbalah paper and I think I can work out the standard number. It should also cover pretty much everything I have learned that's important. So none of my Professor's funny jokes. I should also figure out what I should be doing for my English paper. I probably should read Morte D'Arthur when I get back to residence. Once I figure out how to do that.
Being at Cafe 1842 is a bit depressing, because this was were the Changeling LARP once was and I really liked the idea of getting into it. This is the exact place I'd see a Changeling LARP as taking place. It's just how I see the Changelings in the game. There are certain strata of society I see the various WoD templates as inhabiting. Changelings I see as being almost always in coffeeshops, or on Skid Row, or squatters. Not sure what I see the rest of the templates as. Mages can be anywhere, but I usually see them as having at least religious or spiritual background. Vampires I see in power positions, or in skeevy techno disco hangouts. Werewolves I don't have an actual picture, but I always thought there was something similar to Twin Peaks in the nature of the set up so they'd largely be in small towns. But I suppose there would be Werewolves in major cities. Hunters, like Mages, can be everywhere and far more scattered. Hunters are basically everywhere. Prometheans, as per game rules, are nomadic.
I'm working for my ultimate campaign setting for World of Darkness. It's a project for me to create a city, a really large city, where I can set various WoD games, mainly based on the three concepts I have that I'd like to work on (Psychedelic Mage, Beat Generation Changeling and Hunter: The Wire). I'll have to come up with a regular city though, like who's the Mayor? where is it? What are the major neighborhoods?(I see Psychedelic Mage and Beat Generation Changeling as being in the same basic area, sort of a cheap bohemian neighborhood). I already know that most of the city was designed by a Mage who worked it for reasons no one really knows at that his old house is now were the Consilium meets up. His name is Guillarme Archimboldi by the way.
That's all for today. I'm going to go buy a hot chocolate.
