So, it's that time of year. Time for Feats of Strength, the Airing of Grievances, and other such festivities! It's been a few days since I've posted, but the day after my last post, Alexa and I went to Oak Mountain State Park to give Slender Man a Christmas present. Or rather, we tried. The abbreviated story is that Alexa lost her way and I ended up getting swamped in traffic for an hour. Ultimately we went back to my house and played video games instead, ultimately having a blast. We played Saint's Row 2 and made a black shemale with blue pigtails and a cockney accent who didn't take shit from anyone. Following that, we played Dead Rising 2 and our chuck was a valiant knight who also didn't take shit from anyone. With electric wheelchairs. Yeah.
All in all, I laughed the hardest that I can remember for almost 3 hours straight. I believe that was the 23rd, so Christmas Eve-eve. Now, it is the 28th and I am in Pensacola with my family. What a great idea - going to the beach in December. There isn't much to do besides mill around the condo or walk to the outlet mall in lieu of using the car. At least we're coming back before New Year's Eve, when Steve plans to throw a party for me and my other friends to nerd the fuck out and stay up all night.
My Christmas was great! I got a few Dark Heresy books, a couple games, but, most importantly, a drawing tablet. It's a Wacom Bamboo Pen, and I love it. I'm not a great artist, but I'm interested in getting better. Well, I'm about to watch The Expendables. Is it weird that I have a recent interest in Stone Cold Steve Austin? He's simply ridiculous. Anyway, I'm out. If you have any questions or comments, or want to tell me how your holiday of choice was, just post in the comment box and I'd love to hear from you.

First Post?
At the behest of my girlfriend significant other whatever she wants me to call her, I have decided to create a blog!
Well, I don't feel any different so far. So! I asked my mentor, Alexa, if she had any advice on how to not make my blog as boring as shit! She, oh-so-insightfully replied, "Don't be boring as shit." Sound advice! So, I suppose this would be a good time for introductions. My name is Will. I am a senior in high school, and a nerd. Or is it nerd-y? No matter. Point being, I love the internet. I love playing games online with other people, none of which I am particularly good at. I love browsing internet sites for humorous pictures. I even love doing work if it means I can balance it off with breaks of internet time, or perhaps breaks of work from internet time. Still with me? Good.
At the risk of sounding like an ADD-riddled MONGREL, I suppose this would be as good of a time as any to discuss a pen-and-paper game I plan to play with my friends in the near future. We meet up every other week or so to play tabletop RPGs like Call of Cthulhu and Dark Heresy. Admittedly, none of us are particularly experienced in this field. Anyway, Steve, a friend of mine who has quite the penchant for all things technological, is running a game of Mutants and Masterminds. For the uninitiated, it's somewhere between Dungeons and Dragons and 90's Superhero Cartoons. As such, it has been decided that this game will be a non-lethal campaign, meaning that there are punishments for using excess of force or killing the villains.
This puts me in a bind, as most of my more...*cough* creative super powers are low-key powers turned up to 11 in ways that are extremely deadly. Admittedly, my two best ideas were lifted from a Manga called be - Mudah (WRYYYYYY) . Yeah. Can you see why that may not be considered "non-lethal"? My current best idea for a superhero power is something Alexa calls the "ctrl+f" power. Simple enough, right? Just be able to find whatever you want. Completely non-lethal on its own, and has immense utility. I like it. SO! If you happen to have stumbled upon my blog and have slogged through this IMPENETRABLE FORTRESS OF TEXT, I'd love to hear any comments, questions, or suggestions in the comment box.
