The glance of a stranger in a car as he drives past.

That's what this post feels like. A nanosecond of information in a river of tailights. I'm currently going about a million miles per hour and don't expect to be able to stop for about two weeks. You guessed it. Finals time and me WAY behind schedule.

It was worth it though. I went with my partner to visit her family in Washington State. A twelve hour drive each way. I was really concerned about making a good impression. We've been legally 'married' (a notarized domestic partnership agreement) for approaching five years and this was my first visit to see her family, though I'd talked to her mother several times on the phone.

All in all, they were great and the trip went really well. Her sister is 12 but a really great kid. We took her to see Treasure Planet and went to watch her play indoor soccer (which is a really rough sport) So now I wanna play. Looked like they were having just too much fun. :) I wish we'd had more time, but I could barely get out of work for as long as I did and I really am gonna pay for letting my schoolwork get so far behind. Que sera sera. It was worth the trip. :)

Isn't that also known as 'assault with intent to score/maim' ^^;? It's fun though, especially if youre playing it in a smallish gym with a bunch of friends. ther'es no out of bounds, so you can do all kinds of things like bouncing it off walls and the like. well, if your'e just playing with friends. official rules are soo boreing at times. ^^; Indoor ball and broom hocky though...scarry O.O;;

Aw visits with the inlaws are good, especially if they go well. (As opposed to my INSANE inlaws!)

Good luck with the finals, I'll be watching this space for results!

I am really quite relieved to hear that - I'm biased by my own family, but I had no idea how this was gonna turn out. Are you and the centauress looking for a role-playing game, still?
