Still Alive

orikesI've actually been showing an interest in Livejournal again recently, mostly due to my current obsession veering back over here.
I've been playing the Sims2 pretty obsessively since I got my new computer back in April 2006. What changed is that I actually started playing a legacy and writing stories about it. Originally I was a bit too embarrassed about them to post anything here, but I've grown proud of how well the later ones have turned out and how they're received.
(I joked with my gaming group last week that I get 'fan mail'. That's not quite true, but some of the guestbook signings are quite fawning, once you interpret the net speak.)
For anyone curious, they can be read here. The first ones are at the bottom of the page, going up to the most recent ones at the top. Think of them as a serial story.
Either way, getting into that as much as I have also means I've also gotten involved in online communities that like that stuff. Recently some of the folks in those communities that I consider friends (e-friends?) have started posting stuff in LJ. So, here I am again.
I'm not sure if I'll use this journal for sim stuff too much, but who knows. The bug might bite me. I am fickle if nothing else.
On the physical life front, I sent out the invitations to AngCon 3 today. This year we'll officially have been running longer than the defunct con that spurred the petulant creation of AngCon in the first place. Maybe next year I'll get my act together enough that we'll actually get someplace bigger to have it at and invite more than just my immediate gaming friends. :)

Date: 2007-10-24 12:23 pm (UTC)I'm glad you're posting in here, whether it be Sim stuff or not. I have been a reader of blogs and journals since before I even knew what the Sims was (and way before Sims 2 existed), and I still have a bunch that I follow regularly. It's a nice way to get to know another side of someone I only usually see in the Sims world. :)
