Because I like to copy shadawyn's lists. XD

Yesterday I was home sick recovering from whatever ickiness hit me over the weekend, which makes today my "Monday." But there's still plenty of happy things going on:

1. Staying home sick with kyonkun yesterday was actually pretty fun, because we got to take it easy and take care of household chores (though kyonkun was more productive than me). We also watched Enchanted with aznridah, which was cute in an almost entirely not-cheesy way.

2. Sunday was another Warmakers adventure, with all the hijinks and combat I could ask for - including four critical hits in a row for me, one of which resulted in a decapitation (oh, Critical Hit Deck, how I love you). We won't have our regularly scheduled adventure in two weeks due to SakuraCon, but we're making up for it by getting together anyway.

3. Speaking of Warmakers, last night I had my first Warmakers dream (that I can remember). It wasn't as good as kyonkun's Warmakers con dream, sadly.

I was playing Sae (though, being a dream, the combat was much more up close and personal than usual, so I "was" Sae). And I was fighting dinosaurs. Yup, dinosaurs. I think they were supposed to be velociraptors? They actually reminded me of Old Lace from Runaways, honestly.

Anyway, Sae's magical scimitar suddenly had this crazy ability, wherein its damage type was randomly determined each time I made an attack. So I would roll a d4, and that would determine whether the damage was cold, fire, electricity, or cold iron. Except the weapon spontaneously generated a fifth effect when I was fighting the dinosaur, and I banished it. No, that doesn't make sense, but I specifically remember "banish" being the word to describe what I did in the dream.

So, weird. But fun. 8D

4. Today and tomorrow, I am expecting my final two orders of shoes. (Yes, final. I've been on a shoe-buying spree lately, but at last I am finished.)

5. Tonight, I'm going to Blue C Sushi to celebrate coramegan's birthday!

I don't buy into a lot of the typical heterosexual "romance" schtick. I don't believe that my guy needs to get me a lavish bouquet of roses for Valentine's Day, or that he needs to serenade me from outside my window in the middle of the night, or that I need to dress up in a fancy dress and have a perfect princess moment.

But just because I don't buy into this stuff - because I don't believe it ought to be important - doesn't mean that I don't ever get affected by it.

( semi-embarrassing ramblings about Enchanted and wanting to be a pretty princess )

edit: Oh yes, and the desire for the male protector! That sometimes hits me too. Even though a guy who gets violently jealous is likely to be obnoxious, and me being weak/threatened enough to need protecting is not a good thing ... I still feel the appeal of being the object of said jealousy, or protection, even if it's just a little bit.
