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.
