2012 OTAKON BALTIMORE DWRP MEETUP


(Hell yeah.)

So like nine million RPers will be in Baltimore for Otakon, making it a preemo chance for a pan-game Dreamwidth RP party. (LJ is invited, too, we guess.)


(Super exciting.)

So I guess we need some details.

When: 7:00PM to ???PM, Friday the 27th
Where: 201 Light Street, Light Street Pavillion Food Court (take the short skywalk east from the convention center until you get to Urban Outfitters. Go into the mall Urban Outfitters is in until you find the food court)
Who: DW and LJ RPers
Do I need to register for the con?: No. Light Street Pavillion is a public mall
Do I need to come in cosplay?: Also no
Is there an age limit?: No, it’s not a bar


(I forgot I had an imgur account with all these gifs.)

To make this even more extra special fun, some games are planning individual game meetups at the edges of the main one. So far I know:

- Aather, 7:30PM
- Mayfield, 6PM


(Sounds awesome, right?)

Please pass this around to games and people you think might be interested! I will be bringing (optional!) nametags, and carrying either a large gold trident or a blue lightsaber so people can find the meetup in the food court.


(Dramatic conclusion.)

Hope to see you there!

Guys. Guys. Did you know Winston Churchill's mom was a total cougar?

She slept around during her first marriage, even with the king, which " greatly helped Lord Randolph's early career, as well as that of her son Winston." After her first husband died, she married a guy the same age as her oldest son, and her third husband was three years younger than Winston Churchill.

WHAT A DAME.

Dear PJO fandom,

I think you are my new favorite. I love that your kinkmeme is filled with het and girlslash, because, rightly or wrongly, I see that as a sign that the series has an abundance of kickass girls in it, and that fandom appreciates how kickass those girls are.

Oh also the historical necro requests make me lol, too. Nico/Julius Caesar what is this I don't even.

Love,

Me

I have black holes underneath my eyes.

I spent most of last night reading Marie Phillips's Gods Behaving Badly, which is a romcom-ish book about Apollo, Artemis, Aphrodite, Hephaestus, Athena, Ares, Hermes, Demeter, and Dionysus living together in a run-down house in London, annoying the bejeesus out of each other as their powers dwindle to nothing and two mortals who wander into their way.

Can't recommend it highly enough!

My resume is a page and a half.

There is no way I can make it a page or two full pages.

ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff

I drew Godzilla, an elephant, the Little Prince, Karl Marx, and the Mona Lisa in my scratch paper exam booklet today for my professor. He did not collect our scratch paper.

Sadness.

Here is the Russian version of animated Winnie the Pooh.

Damn, my lips are chapped.

Also, schiarire passed on Hottest Heads of State. Yulia "I Could Be A Supermodel If I Weren't Running Ukraine" Timoshenko deserves the top spot, but Borut Pahor of Slovenia really needs to move up the list (gorgeous eyes!) and Sarkozy needs to go waaaaaaaaaay down.

My offering to DW today is a couple of "unreleased" tracks from the Aladdin soundtrack, which are pretty hilarious.

- "Call Me A Princess"
- "Why Me?"
- "Humiliate the Boy"

Wow. I told people "I don't think I did terribly, I don't think I did great. I'd guess 168."

And it turns out that's actually what I got.

I'm not thrilled (actually, I'm a little disappointed), but I'm not unhappy enough to retake the test.

One morning the Prime Minister wanted to dictate while he was in his bath… Eventually he got out of the bath when his devoted valet, Sawyers, draped an enormous bath-towel around him. He walked into his adjoining bedroom, followed by me, notebook in hand, and continued to dictate … Eventually the towel fell to the ground but, quite unconcerned, he continued pacing the room dictating all the time.

Suddenly President Roosevelt entered the bedroom and saw the British Prime Minister completely naked walking around the room dictating to me. WSC never being lost for words said ‘You see, Mr. President, I have nothing to conceal from you.’

This is a clip from an 80s Winnie the Pooh live-action television show, where Pooh and Piglet sing a musical number about how you shouldn't let people touch you in a not-okay way.



... actually I think it's pretty comprehensive and well done. But. So strange to hear coming from Pooh.

I wish Snuggies came in brown.

It would make them really rad Jedi costumes.

Instead of adapting the newest sentai series, ABC is airing Mighty Morphin Power Rangers in 2010, and Bandai is bringing back MMPR toys.

Tomorrow will find me shamelessly begging my thesis adviser to see if he can get me a reserved spot to see Tony Blair speak.

If not, I will be getting up at five in the morning to camp outside the auditorium.

Sob.

Just watched the pilot of Adult Swim's new stop-action show, Titan Maximum. It's basically an unholy cross between Team America and Power Rangers, and it is filling the troll-mecha void in my heart that the end of Space Cake left.

I'm so happy right now.

- Slack off

Haha, that said, the LSAT went okay! It wasn't stressful at all. No gauge on how I did, though.

Holy shit.

My name is spelled wrong on all my university documentation.

I'm a senior.

How did I never notice this before.

My quantitative methods professor sounds so much like Aladdin that I find it excruciatingly difficult to pay attention to anything he says.

Urghhh I have a big scrape and one hell of a bruise coming in on my leg about an inch above my foot.

I have no idea how I got it but, then again, I also don't remember three hours of Thursday night.

Gah.
