Forgive me, friends, for I have slacked. It has been over six months since I last looked at this journal or anything associated with it. Which is rather sad since I really do like most of you. (Except you, yes you, you’re the one who killed my dog and laughed about it. Shut up, I totally had a dog once.)
I’m sort of in a hurry at the moment, so this’ll be short, but I’m hoping to get back into the swing of daily updates. Now won’t that be fun? In bulleted form, here’s my life since we last talked.
- Grad school applications are in. NYU, Michigan (Ann Arbor), and Georgia Tech. Currently waiting to hear back from them.
- Flying to NYC this weekend to visit NYU. If you’re in the city and want to get together, give me a heads-up. You know I like to meet people.
- On track to graduate in May with two B.A.s. Rather excited by this prospect.
- Planning to finally execute my roadtrip this summer. The one where I take three months off and put 10,000 miles on my odometer in order to drive around North America. If you live in North America and would be up for a visit, then I want to hear from you.
- Haven’t been doing much roleplaying recently, or really much board gaming either. This is sad, but life goes on. My interest remains undiminished.
- Have been thinking a lot about internet communities and the way software shapes them (surprise!). May make a post on the topic at some point.
But now I’m hopefully back, and will hopefully be updating daily, so I’m sure you’ll hear more about each of these as time goes on.

I can put you up in Phoenix if you wanna come out this far. We could have lots of loving gaming. Or you could see the large hole in the ground near Flagstaff. It’s pretty, and you can collect Intelligent Design tracts.
How lucky for you. I’m already planning on being in Phoenix. Just not entirely sure when at this point. Probably sometime in May, though. WOOHOO! ID TRACTS!

*reads over her previous comment* Um, “lovely gaming” is what I meant. Not loving gaming. I mean, no offense, but…
Hurray! My email is mufary@gmail.com — do let’s get in touch closer to time so we can arrange logistics!

Will do! Any time that’s especially good and/or bad for a visit?
Thomas
I’m trying to plan to be out of town the weekend of May 23, but other than that, pretty much any time is good. I would very much like you to meet my gaming group, especially Ben Mandall, who may actually be some sort of anti-Thomas with whom you will mutually annihilate upon meeting.
Let me know if you plan to swing through northeastern Kansas, as that’s where I’m at now.
you’re the one who killed my dog and laughed about it
and stole your bible!
do you want to visit me?
And me!
*(Will need several more people to finish the Python quote I’ve in mind here.)
I’m going to place bets that everyone gets along famously–unless of course you play Universalis: Game of Discord.
But MLWM should make everybody happy.
I’ll email you with more details when I’ve got something approaching an actual schedule. You don’t happen to have a weekend/weekday preference do you?
Thomas
I can totally swing through KA. When you’re roadtripping as far as I am, nothing’s really out of the way (well, Edmonton and Anchorage, but that’s about it). I’ll keep you updated.
Thomas
What if I like discord? Did you ever think of that? HUH!?
Thomas (the good one)
