The smallest funeral home EVAR.

Or maybe my friend's family is just lots bigger than I expected O__O

There was a SUPER narrow, one way driveway that led to a JAM PACKED tiny parking lot.  Once I managed to cram the Imperial Cruiser (my black minivan) into a spot, I walked up to the building and people are staring at me... I thought maybe I had a booger hanging on my face or something...  When I walked in, I noticed there was only ONE funeral.  All these people were here to see my friend's dad's memorial service.  So I'm looking through the THRONGS of PEOPLE, most of whom are just STANDING in the hallway and others are crammed into the viewing room and I don't recognize one person.  Thankfully, my friend comes over to me and I give him a hug and he and his wife point me in direction of some food and where his brother is.  By the time Joey and I weave down there, I discover that the tiny lounge is also packed with people I don't know.  I hung around long enough to chat with both brothers, I saw their mom for a moment and then made my exit after signing the guest book.  I was sweating so bad because my hair was down (I always pull it back but I thought it would be cooler and less crowded, and I wanted to look a little dressy; and also it got up to 65 degrees.  In fucking January. WTF.

This was the first time I'd ever been to a visitation where there was no body.  He'd been cremated and his box of ashes had a personalized candle sitting on it.

Here's a pic of Joey and I before we left and I got all sweaty.

I have a question.... kinda weird one... maybe.

So I'm playing a MMORPG (Star Wars The Old Republic). and my character (Sith Lord Sonjajade Kazenaya) is vying for the attention of my companion (Imperial Capt. Malavai Quinn), and things are going well.  I've got his affection level up over half (closer to 3/4 full now) and we've already kissed.  But along the way, I've flirted and SLEPT WITH other NPCs (non-player characters; quest givers and other contacts) and I've been thinking... about writing fanfic about them.

See, I slept with a Colonel on Nar Shaddaa as a quest reward, but I still got affection gain with Quinn... which leads me to think he likes to watch.  And I'm the dominate one because he's such an honor bound guy and all dutiful to the Empire and stuff.  I could order him to sleep with me (in fic) and he'd probably flip for it.

I'm not sure about the protocol when writing GAME fan fic.  Should I just write it for myself?  I'm sure my guildmates would get a kick out of it, since I'm keeping them up to date on the whole thing.  They're all trying to get PVP rep and other stuff and not flirting with their own companions.  What say the F-List!?

Here's me and Quinn kissing

That stuff on my face is because my race is also Sith, but Quinn's a human.

Writer's Block: Hello, World!

[Error: unknown template qotd]I can remember getting an Oscar the Grouch toy my second Christmas (I was almost two years old).  It's fuzzy, but I can remember that.  My earliest clear memory is hearing Van Halen's 'Jump' on the radio and jumping every time it said so in the song.  My dad and I were in the kitchen and he was making spaghetti when it happened.
