Blargh.

Last night I was ostensibly supposed to go over to Trey's and watch a movie, but I was so tired just from getting Will back and forth to Sibshops and then going with Trey to the bookstore that I just couldn't. Instead last night I came home, took some knitting pics, thought about knitting but didn't, thought about eating but didn't, and then went to bed at 8:30 PM -- and then slept until 7:30! And I've taken a nap today too. Crazy. I'm supposed to go see Trey this evening too, but I'm not sure what time. I'll have to call him in a bit and figure that out. Probably around six, all things considered, which means if I want to make beef stew I should really get it going. Hmm.

Doing laundry, did some dishes. Fussed at the fact that I don't have my financial aid yet. More fussed that the first book I need for my honors class might as well not even exist -- the University Bookstore is sold out, it's checked out of the library, neither Seattle nor King County carries it, and no store I can find carries that edition. I can order it, but that's 3-5 days and it's got to be finished by Tuesday. It's just not going to be read by Tuesday, at least not the commentary (I can get the bulk of the text available online, which is the ironic part to all this). I also can't go get the class packet until Tuesday at the soonest, though I should be able to get it in the morning, God willing. Then at least I can read what I'm supposed to have read in that before class time. Gaaaah. And hopefully that professor will email me the syllabus so I can see what assignment is due next week that I have no knowledge of yet, because I didn't get the chance to grab anyone's contact info from class before being told that she wasn't going to go over the first day and I needed to get it from them. (Missed the first day because I had no gas money and no bus pass yet -- being an evening student in a day class totally bites for getting my paperwork done in a timely fashion.)

Must also remember that on Monday I have to go see my professor about a new copy of my letter of recommendation for one of my schools, and must get that and my paper mailed off next day on Monday, or I miss my deadline (which would suck). I'm going to be so glad when I get these things done, I can't even tell you. I almost don't care if they turn me down, really. I mean, I do, but that's totally out of my hands once I send everything off, you know? Just getting it off my plate will be a godsend.

Character Creation: Changeling

I really like Changeling. I liked it when it was The Dreaming, and I like it now that it's The Lost -- quite a bit more than the original, actually. It's got better legs, if that makes any sense. Anyway, I only relatively recently got a core book for Changeling, so I'm making a character for it somewhat belatedly. It'd be nice to get to play in a campaign of it someday. We'll see. :)

The Game: Changeling the Lost
Publisher: White Wolf
Degree of Familiarity: Somewhat. I've played in a few one-shots. None of them really close enough together that I don't have to be reminded about how it all works each time, but such is the way of things. It's nWoD, though, so I have a general sense of it in my brain.
Books Required: Well, it would terribly nice to have supplemental books, but I don't, so life goes on. I also have the core WoD book if necessary.
