Nothing too lengthy this time, just a few random thoughts.

I'm very much enjoying my pencil and paper work, so much so that I'm using it in favor of computers when I'm on the job. It's nice to be able to walk around as I write, practical as well, but there's even more to it than that. I love the way the pencil starts out sharp and gradually dulls, and I see my lines and curves becoming wider on the page as it happens. I love the way it seems to tire, just as I do, unlike a computer that always responds when you strike a key. But worse, it responds in precisely the same way (regarding the output) every time. A pencil stroke on the other hand is different every time, each touch on the page its own unique mark. There's something attractive about that, even romantic. Maybe I'm just weird. *shrugs*

After playing tabletop RPGs for a while with some of my coworkers that I can stand, I've started designing two classes of my own to use. I balance everything before I start, and amusingly enough the most common comment I get from the GM is "I don't think that's overpowered at all *grin*". It's always good to make the GM happy. :3 I really am having a lot of fun with it, though, more so than I've had in a while. Certainly more than I ever got from WoW.

Guess it's not so bad to be a big ol' nerd after all. ^_^;
