merry married

I was going to make a simple wedding post, before the wedding, but during its composition I got sidetracked into a(nother) conversation with Bjorn about vowel merging.
   Bjorn, being of the New states Jersey and York, finds marry, merry, and Mary to have all different internal vowels.

Here is a post now, post wedding. 
   For "something old", I had on my person the handkerchief I inherited from my great-grandma. For "something new", the top I wore (which I had not worn before, and which, against all my plans, was white) which had a neckline that allowed for my borrowed something, a choker sent from Luminous. (It was her grandmother's!) For "something blue" I bore the ring (with sapphires) that was my wedding band from Roscivs.

All four items were "old" (even my "new" which, though new to me, I bought second-hand). This is not unexpected. There is nothing new under the sun.

New Game New Name

Yesterday I participated in an afternoon of world building, story telling, and character gaming.
   I'm not used to the particulars of RPG games, but I have plenty of experience role playing, making believe, and riffing off of others' contributions to the world. 
   I enjoyed myself.

The platform we're using is Fudge. The game manual available in PDF for free from Grey Ghost Press. Fudge, self-descriptively named, is highly customizable. Bjorn, who's the Game Master (GM), is using it for the first time. It lets him play up the parts he likes and avoid the fiddly bits of D&D that he doesn't like that have deterred him from being GM (or DM).

We mostly expressed preferences and formed world. We meet again in two weeks. Between now and then I shall finish my character sheet. I need to choose a name ...
