Had a dream where I needed some blood drawn for some reason and who knows why couldn't go to a hospital. So there was a stapler fucntioning as a needle, operated by my father, and when he finally managed to draw some blood (I have tricksy veins so at least the dream got that part right) it was... clumpy. Like marmalade or something. Slightly wtf.

Oh, yes. I thought I should share with yous as well, seeing how important a part of my (web)life yous are: I gained a rather significant personal victory at the convention on Sunday. I sat down to play Great Dalmuti with people I didn't have even a passing prior acquaintance with. This is a first, as I usually feel the need to have someone familiar around. May not sound like much to yous but I am proud of this progress.

Also: Will be away until Sunday and then again until at least Wednesday. Don't miss me too much. :)

Someone took a photo of Jukka and me at the con. Mostly because they were teasing him, I understand. :P

Word. That's all I can say about this.

Gaaahhh!

I overslept. And am missing today's possibly most interesting/entertaining talk. It would be roughly translated as 'The vampire spins in its grave'. Goddammit. >_<

Ropecon this weekend <3 Which means I'll mostly be on during mornings and evenings, but that's about it.

Rainwalk

Velvet beneath
where water blurs concrete
enveloping
from feet up
head-to-toe in sky's embrace

even that fragrance
fills your being
Clap, laugh
twirl,
dance with these drops

No cold
only joy, bare skin on asphalt

the music of the storm

I don't need this shit right after a poorly slept night. Everyone can just go hang themselves and their sardonic comments.
