jchrisobrienToday there was an accident at South Station.
A man (fell/jumped/was pushed) off the platform and was run over by a train.
The T was shut down for three or four hours, commuters had to be shuttled to a more distant point. And I'm sure that 95% of the people were pissed off about being delayed.
Which is pretty pathetic.
The weekend was full of activity. Friday night we planned out events for the LARP, how different scenes would go down, what contingencies we needed. Saturday was the big event itself. I think the majority of people had a good time. One downside to running a game with more than twenty people is that players are pitted against other players in different scenes. Which means someone ends up on the short end of the stick. But overall I think people had a blast, which means I have a blast. And I got to enact part of Julius Ceaser during the night, a "play within a play" as you like it. :)
Afterwards we descended on the Second Circle (Jim, Karen, and Joe's place) for post game unwinding and drinking. And once again, I got to see a potential interest of mine making out with somone else. Fortunately, by now I'm used to such things and just called it a night. Besides which I was very tired, too tired to make it to the Anniversary party for a mailing list I'm on. As I understand it, it's not the actual birthday (which is sometime in the summer) so I will try to make that one.
The next day I did have another date with Michelle (another reason I wasn't too put out about the night before) We grabbed some dinner at the Burren, and waited at Diesel to play pool. After an hour the tables were still full, so we came back to my place, where I got my clock cleaned at Monopoly. But I never gave up Boardwalk!
It was an OK evening, pleasant but marked with awkward pauses, where I didn't have anything to say, or want to say anything. She asked a lot of "getting to know you" type of questions, which I didn't have ready answers to. I'm still unsure about things, but willing to keep the option open, to see if anything develops. I don't think she's what I need right now, but since what I need is open to debate... sometimes you have to give things time to develop. But I still hold out for that moment of passion, the shock of electricity when you touch someone's hand, your eyes lock, and you fall into each other. I know that passion exists, I have experienced it once or twice. It will happen again. I'm sure of it.
I met Diana after the VHS meeting, and when she asked me how I was doing, I said "Great, if a little tired." She smiled and said she was glad to hear it, that so many people she asks that of say "eh" or just shrug. I surprise myself by realizing how often I can respond that way lately.
