Other Than A Demented Picture........
....... . .. ..Things have been rather pleasant I would think.
Although there have been a few things that have happened to me and a few more things on my mind, so here goes.
This weekend I was invited to Montreal to play in the Minds Eye Theatre of Vampire the Requiem. I have been a Minds Eye Vampire player for 9 years now over all, and play regularly here in London and Hamilton.
But Montreal was a kick! The journey there and the game itself were very enjoyable. I will dispense some details.
A couple of friends invited me to go to the Montreal game and I was delighted to accept. This is a global game you see, and your character can be played in any Camarilla Sanctioned game in the world. So I am very happy to spread myself around if I get the chance.
These friends will be named Jade and Dion.(Their character names)
They both picked me up at about 5 am Saturday morning and we set off on our journey. It was fun. We talked about our gaming experiences of the past and what have you, listened to music, and shared opinions on various things.
We received our first shock when we reached Quebec. People drove like they were being chased by one of the elder beings of some horrible nether world. Fast and cut throat. Amazing.
In all the commotion, we got lost getting into the city. But we stopped at a gas station, got a map, and phoned our French friends and all of that sorted us out for the moment. We were back on track.
We headed into down town Montreal and decided to park, so we could see the sights and possibly get some refreshment.
As we were walking around looking at things and taking it all in, we saw across the street, some Hamilton players who had made it up aswell.
I yelled across the street at them, "Coincidences are like acts of God. They may happen, but I don't believe in them!"
We all got together and had a laugh, then set fourth to seek refreshment.
And refresh we did.
In a pub we all gathered and devoured some poutine* and beer, and let me tell you, I don't think we could have had a better meal at that exact point. At least in my opinion.
We then parted ways with the Hamilton crew and went on our way to pursue the game site.
We got lost again.
After about an hour and a half of driving around looking, we were giggling like deranged children because of the hilarity of it all and the fact that we all had very little sleep the night before and it was catching up to us. With the help of our French friends once again, we finely found the game site.
We met the locals and were surprised to hear they were having a barbique. We actually found this out when we got lost the first time, but I decided to interject this point now ok? So if you don't like it you can FUCK OFF WITH SHINY BRASS KNOBS ON!!!
Right.
They were fund raising for the giant game event known as CAINE that will be in Montreal in April 06. That's what the barbique was for, so we handed em some cash and ate and were merry once again.
After the barbique, we all got changed and the game was ON!
It was a good game. We met some interesting people during and after and fun was had by all so it seemed. Our host as it turned out was more than gracious. We thought we were going to be sleeping on some floor in a dark basement some where(which is ironic considering the game we play) but it turns out we got our own rooms, and our own beds.
Very cool of them we thought, they certainly didn't have to do that much. We stayed where we played, a very nice house that was built in 1915. Impressive, and in the morning there was coffee and good conversation to greet our weary heads.
Having an excellent evening thanx to our host, we set off at about 11 am for Hamilton to play in their game. To our delight some of the Montreal players were going to make it down there aswell.
The drive back down was less eventful than the drive up, and our only incident was some slow ass rubbernecking drivers that annoyed us to no end. But some of us dozed, and I got some interesting reading done, and we made it to Hamilton safe and sound.
During the whole trip Jade was talking about how she is the new storyteller of the Minds Eye game Werewolf The Forsaken, and I offered to be her assistant, so now you are looking at the new assistant storyteller for this game, woooohooooo. :)
A Good Game was had in Hamilton aswell with the Montreal guys attending, and some of the other London players aswell. After the game we all ate at a local establishment and headed for home.
The hour trip home from Hamilton to London however was a bit risky, as we were all tired from the journey and the road got a little blurry for Dion once or twice, but half way through, Jade took the wheel and all was well again. Don't get the impression that Dion is a bad driver, he isn't, he was DOG tired is all ;)
So that was pretty much it for the weekend trip, it was definitely worth it for all of us I believe.
* - For those of your reading that don't know what poutine is, it is French fries covered in gravy and cheese.
So, what else?
My World of Darkness game is supposed to continue tomorrow, but I don't know if I want to do it or not. I believe I will turn it into a Werewolf The Forsaken game, that might turn the tide a bit. The players aren't into the whole thing and I can tell, and I'm not getting the feel for this game because of it. So that's where its going I think.
As for more personal matters............

It's a Celebration Bitches!
My Cousin is getting married. That's all good isn't it?
It normally would be but its happening for the wrong reasons in my opinion. The fact that its a marriage of convenience, and the bride played with my friend Rimmy's feelings(intentionally or not), means that I'm not really happy about it. Maybe they deserve each other.
The Bride, I feel is some sort of fiend who like it or not has no care for anyone but herself. I used to like her very much.
The Groom, is doing what he believes is right, but I fear for the wrong reasons.
It will end badly, and their son will be the one who suffers.
How do I know this? Because I've seen the history of my family's relationships, and I see the same downward spiral in these two.
In fact my mom and dad hooked up almost the same way as these 2 are,
shotgun wedding while the bride is about to burst with a kid.
Safe to say it didn't go well after that, even though my parents were together before that.
They made the first step to the Olsen Dark Side .
I suppose the saga must continue, fuck knows why.
I'm trying not to contribute to the next step of ODS, which is to have a loathing searing hatred for The Bride.
I'll do what I can to ignore the blood compulsion as much as I can, unlike others.
What a fucken mess :P
anyhow, that's my shtick for now,
Dig It.

Care for some Shittake Mushrooms and some sticky sweet Green Tea??? ......maybe we should change that to "magic mushrooms" and some " blueberry wet" instead??.......... *grins
The ODS did not get me while I was in the family, and I will not let it affect JD either .
I know the example you used to criticize your cousins wedding, (which was wonderful by the way, we mised you there). You really need both sides of that story before you decide what actually happened. I knew your father and I judge him not. (Perhaps he was not as strong as you or I and leaving was the only way he knew to aviod the ODS. There is supreme evil in the elder of the family and love knows no place in that family - you however are part of my family and you have always had the love, you just needed to want it, or to be a part of it.
You have hurt someones feelings, someone who loved you like a brother. I am extremely proud of you breaking away from the chains that bound you - but very disapointed in your reaction to something that was and should be a wonderful occasion.
I can understand someone being upset at me. I can. As far as hearing both sides of the story goes, I'm afriad there is more than 2. I know the sides very well, and thats why I'm angry, and seriously, those who know me know that I have NEVER been prone to anger about anything. Its not how I react to things. But, If I am angry about something, perhaps there is a good reason for it.
I'm sure it was a beautiful ceremony, and now that the anger has subsided a little, I can say I do wish these 2 the best of luck.
Someone I know was hurt badly aswell, that's mostly the reason for my anger. He was involved, but isn't anymore. It doesn't matter.
The point is, I know more sides than perhaps you do, but again who can tell.
I respect the way you posted Auntie.
You could have hurled insults at me, but you didn't, which is cool.
But because of what I know and how it all went down, is the whole reason for how I feel, and I'm not going to take it back.
It is just my opinion. Period.
And just as another note, I don't hate anyone, I'm too good for the ODS. No hatred here, I'm sorry that someones feelings are hurt, but its a sign that I care and am looking out for him, whatever anyone believes. He IS the brother I never had, one of a very few I can say that about.
I probably sound like a lunatic, but if you knew what I knew........well.......you don't so no point in saying anything.
I stand by my conviction, I don't think it was a good Idea, but again I don't have to live it, and I would love nothing more then for them to prove me wrong and live happily ever after. Who ever was hurt that I know, will get over it and move on.
I hope all is understood.
At my advanced age and after having survived the ODS there are a few things I have learned.
1. You cannot make someone like or even love you. To waste your time trying is the only ture waste of a life. (I know I tried for 17 years).
2. Anger has no place in our lives; and words said in anger will ALWAYS come back and bite you in the ass.
3. You cannot stop those you love from getting hurt; but you can be there to help pick them up and to hold them whiile they cry.
4. Don't waste your time thinking about things you cannot change. Eventually what goes around comes around (this one you can count on).
5. Love and kindness are gifts we share with each other, but - RESPECT must be earned.
6. Loving someone means the good and the not so good, just as they are (we have no bad).
These are things the ODS has not yet learned. You are an individual with much to give, never let them or anyone tell you otherwise.
The most important piece of advice I can give is "be yourself, you are beautiful and if people can't see that then fuck them, they lose".
I respect what you said and why you said it, perhaps just not the way you said it, but you are entitled to your feelings. But if you apply my life lessons you will see that negative fellings are really not much good for anything. I do hope you stay in touch.
Love Auntie W.
As I have only been aware of this blog recently, I'd like to catch up! Can I ask who are all the bodies on the ODS?
Butterfly Von
Well Butterfly, I responded to your comment on the next post up(If you can cut through all the comments to find it).
There are no "Members" per say, its just compulsions in the blood I guess, we all get our time in the spotlight, me included.
I'm done ranting about it lol
If you can find the comment on the"Something to Think About" post
then that will answer your question more I think.
I havent gotten this much press ever lol I guess all press is good press.
