Life as we know it
I haven’t had anything overly significant to say lately.
I’ve mostly been absorbed in web work, dance, and my MUD.
I let my dad have my bank card today to get groceries and a couple hundred out for himself to use for holiday shopping. He can’t afford to buy anything, he can barely afford to pay monthly bills. So I take care of that for him. Even if it’s essentially buying gifts for myself.
I received a holiday card from Alison, it was unexpected but very much appreciated it 
I am not sending out holiday cards this year, since I had to make sure my dad was able to send out cards. But you all get imaginary cards from me, because I adore you all very much.
I also received a movie off my wishlist from a friend out in California, which was also very much appreciated. Ever see the movie “Starman?” It came out in the early 80’s about an alien that falls to earth, falls in love with a human etc. It’s very romantic, I remember my mom watching it when I was a wee sapling. I watched it last night and cried, of course. Kudos to alien romance.
I’ve been feeling more pull towards my spiritual self lately. I still don’t have as much time to devote to it right now as I would like, but I am one by one pwning through items on my todo list.
And I really love having a MUD. I have so much culture and depth stored in my brain about this medieval fantasy world, and as I’m putting it into the game, I’m seeing other people (players), playing this culture and setting out. It just boggles my mind at how awesome that feels. I’ve even had IMPs from other MUDs login and tell me how impressed they were with the game, and I’m just in alpha (even though things feel fully operational). And the more players absorb themselves into the game and create all these storylines, the more I want to write and create.
My dad and I are going to get our tree tomorrow and decorate. So I will spend the day doing that, and taking pictures.

i am glad the MUD is going so well. Sounds like fun. What kind of dance are you doing?
