I'm going to GenCon this summer. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to pretty much most of the stuff I wanted to do, in terms of game events I wanted to register for, but I was able to get a few. A few of the games I'll be playing:

-Diplomacy (an introduction game for first timers)
-Axis and Allies 1941 (for beginners)
-NSDM Cold War - pretty much it's a shitload of people where they do a simulation of a crisis situation, in this case the Cold War. It's actually based on simulations that White House and Pentagon staffers do.
-THE WORLD'S LARGEST GAME OF CATAN - they're getting like, 1600 people together to play the largest game of Catan ever and they'll even have Guinness Book of World Record people to record it as such. Plus they'll be giving away EXCLUSIVE Catan stuff which will be sweet.

I'm also doing two workshops on board game design since I have some ideas I'm kicking around in my head.

I hope I can play the games I want via pickup games and such. Also worried they still haven't approved the second half of my vacation at work, usually it takes a few days for them to approve it but it's been over a month. I hope I can get a few more days off as I wanna stop by Minneapolis as a side trip.

If any of you are going to GenCon, you're welcome to meet up with me and we could play something.

I wish man, I would murder whole villages to go to GenCon.

Same here, Gencon sounds amazing. If I take Dun, he'd sperg so hard he'd practically jizz himself (okay, maybe I'm being a little bit dramatic with the jizz part, but yeah, you get the idea, he'd be like a kid in a candy store considering how obsessed he is with DnD and knows so much despite only playing it for less than a year). It sounds more up our allies than that anime orgy called JAFAX were we at a week ago. At least we don't have to worry much about climate there. People might like and appreciate my Lien cosplay (complete with inflatable shark!) that I'm working more there too.
 
That moment when something finally clicks in you and it all makes sense again. But then other emotions come pouring out, haha;;

I feel dumb for only just being able to put my finger on it, instead of right away.

Gonna play Minecraft, Minecraft fixes everything LOL
 
Actual exchange I just had at work --

Some derpy vendor - "if we evolved from monkeys, why are there still monkeys? Nobody can explain that to me!"

Me: "Evolution doesn't say we evolved from monkeys. It says human beings and monkeys have a common ancestor from several mill--"

Some derpy vendor: "NO! It says we evolved from monkeys!"

Can't imagine why no one can explain it to him.
 
I don't think people like that want to know what evolution theory really is, because then he couldn't "disprove" it with extraordinarily silly ideas like that.
 
Here is what transpired during my trip to Gamestop the other day.

Me: Hey do you guys have any Ouyas?

Clerk: Fuck the Ouya.

Me:......So do you guys have any Ouyas?

Clerk: Yes, but there in the back and I'm not selling them.

I really ned to bring back the Retail Horror thread.
 
I'm tired of work.

I don't want to come off as whiny and petulant, but for the past few months, the stress of being the only real worker on my team has been weighing on me. I can't just forget that there are people who take me for granted and think that I'll handle the entire store on my own.

My Zone Supervisor got someone new on the team. This doesn't help me. The new guy is an older man with diabetes and mobility issues, and he's been known to call out. He can't grasp simple tasks. He used to be a truck loader. He should have stayed a truck loader. But, no, he wanted daytime hours, so my ZS, who I swear is collecting these worn out and lazy workers like strays, decided to bring him to the team.

And I really hate to sound petty, but I requested my birthday off. I even officially put in through the WIRE. Didn't happen. Oh, but slackers get their birthdays off, no problem.

I've started writing a letter to my ZS. I'm going to explain everything that my coworkers have done, why there's no teamwork, and how horrible this has all been to me. If he's working on my birthday, I'll give it to him before I leave. Best birthday present I can give to myself.

Oh! nonononono I'm sorry lol! No it's more in a good way that everything clicks.

I'm going to be moving out of my home by the end of July and start school in New Jersey. My boyfriend lives there, so I'll be sharing an apartment with him. I've lived out of my home before, but it was only for an in-state college dorm, so I won't pretend that's anywhere near the same. I'm scared, but I'm really excited too. I want to figure out my future and share it with my boyfriend ;U;

Basically, it really just hit me last night that I was leaving. It hit me that my family's not entirely together anymore. I mean, we're all close as a family and we love each other, just that we're really going to start doing our own things and we'll be all far away. My sister's going across the ocean ahah! So at least I have the advantage of visiting. Anyways, I realized I was going to miss them a lot, and I want to make the most of the time I still have to make my parents happy.

so tl;dr version is clusterfuck of good and bad feels haha!
 
I had this really awful dream that Niachu called me and told me that her new boyfriend Johnny would kick my ass if I ever did a thing or something. Then I found out Johnny was the Johnny from Metal Gear Solid that constantly shits himself in every single game. I tossed my phone into a body of water which somehow that wound up electrocuting me, and the rest of my dream was about Animal Crossing. It's like everything I was doing yesterday was in my dream except for Nia butting in and calling me. I wanted to call her back and let her know that I was in a homosexual relationship and she didn't have to call me in the first place, then I realized it probably wasn't happening and I didn't have any evidence to back up that claim. :/ Oh yeah, and then in my dream my grandfather told someone to take care of his truck and he fucking let it rot and it was beyond repair by the time I got there.

Man, my dreams are getting pretty weird.
 
Yesterday, I had a scary dream that the Daleks invaded Earth and enslaved humanity and I was on the run from them. Like I was hiding underneath a desk so they couldn't see me. Then I climbed on these huge ass racks like they have at my work in the backroom and I saw some Daleks on the ground and I tried dropping heavy stuff on them but I kept missing so all I did was get their attention and piss them off. Also, they were saying how the Earth could support 500 billion people and they wanted to increase the population so they'd have more of a slave force. Oh, and I even got into a huge ass safe, like the kind you'd find at a bank, and I locked it but THE DALEKS STILL GOT IN.

I normally don't find Daleks scary, but when they seem freaking real, it's pretty damn scary. And it's extra odd as I usually don't have scary dreams like that.
 
I had weird dreams almost every day.

But I don't remember them.

That's why I try to keep a notebook next to my bed so I remember whatever weird dream I might get. I've been doing that the past couple nights and it's been interesting to read back on it all.

I once dreamed I had a Dalek for a butler.

I made it exterminate everyone who was mean to me in school.
 
In my dream, there was our world and the world was dark because there weren't any robins, and the robins represented love. And for the longest time, there was just this darkness. And all of a sudden, thousands of robins were set free, and they flew down and brought this Blinding Light of Love. And it seemed like that love would be the only thing that would make any difference. And it did. So I guess it means there is trouble 'til the robins come.
 
Had a steak for dinner today. A 7 oz. steak, but a steak nonetheless. Gonna clean out my room when I finish reading messages.
