past two days

No notable difference from the outness at work. Of course, in an office where one of the top ranking people is a homebody homo, and at least one of the people a step down from him is a gym bunny homo, I think it may safely be said that I have little to worry about in terms of glass ceilings.

I went out to da burbs to game w/ & friends. His friends do seem pretty min-max-munchkin-tastic. One was unabashed in his boredom with roleplaying and his preference for rollplaying. The cute, slightly short, quiet, and pretty clearly het guy was good to look at, and seemed to use his brain for things other than code (at least, more so than the other new-to-me guy), though maybe I’m painting the picture I want to see on a blank canvas. *shrug*

I may play the bastard son of a merchant clan, with another clan’s magical birthmark, turned paladin. Now, to play a homo male, or my more typical (for me) asexual male character (asexual female is most common, followed by nympho female, followed by asexual male). I may also want to consider ways to insert conflict into the party. Rob’s ideas may be a bit over the top for me, but something to shake these guys into at least trying to roleplay their characters would be a bonus.

Drive back to say hi to . Much conversation on the way and there. Clarification of Jen’s girlscout sadness. Receipt of vegan girl scout cookies. A funky, dark sweet beer that involved plum and some other fruity thing. Sleep. Early morning train ride downtown. Buy a ticket at the station, lose the ticket, buy another one on the train, pay $2 penalty for not buying ticket in advance. Ugh. Back to work.

Ride back home on L. Try to nap. Fail. Chat with kid about to start freshman year of high school. Strange chat, kinda fun. I didn’t feel uncomfortable. I think I feel uncomfortable with the _idea_ of associating with youngish kids. With the possible stigma. *shrug*

Sleeeeep. So much to do, so much to say….
