So how was your weekend?

Surprisingly good. On one hand, I was pretty sick Friday and Saturday...but on the other I ran into some really cool/cute things online.

And I got well in time for a best friend's birthday bash at a Wing Stop for the Houston game on Sunday. Yay. =)

Everybody else good? lol

[msisko]

online shopping AND a birthday party?


How did Houston do? i didn't get to see it. I was doing final projects all weekend.. (thankfully almost done with them!)

Laurenced: Ohh! he's hunting people... ok. for a second there, thought he was hunting some kinda beast.. I was gonna say, that's creative..


though, if he's hunting a bajorian freedom fighter, he best have a disruptor pistol on him.. because 10:1 she does.


Knife to gun fight... just sayin'.

Nice post!

I know, but I'm not huge into online shopping. 1) I shop enough. Believe. 2) It's more fun in the stores. ^_^

And I saw a VS boxed gift at the party, and now my single obsession after reading for class (later, heh) and making Guild people happy (now) is visiting VS later. And some other stores. >>

Houston pretty well dominated. Needless to say between now and next Monday I'm going to soak up all the winning happiness I can. Mainly because much like my hatred of Chivas is my hatred of the NE Patriots. I'm already a nervous wreck. Thank goodness I don't gamble on games like...all my male cousins.

I saw them over thanksgiving. I think they can take NE this year. may take some OT..but I think they can do it.

Maybe! Luckily, it's football. And the NFL is weird, unpredictable. In a way I want them to lose to NE now. Because...can you see NE or Houston beating each other twice in one year? I can't. Will these two see each other in the postseason? Probably.

Grading all weekend? I suppose now I know what my professors did all weekend. Heh.

Nice post, by the way! I might be able to get mine up today. Depending on how the muse goes. I have a book to start, too, over the break.

[msisko]

no.. not grading. actually doing them. I'm working on another undergrad degree.. Because I don't have enough..


thanks! I had muse issues with it.. such fickle things.. but I wanted to get SOMETHING up today.

In THAT case...I know the pain. =)

Isham Lakem
Gul 3rd order
Location: Acamar System
Starship: Keldon Class. Lerok’nor

Appearance:
Dark skinned, dark hair, typical Cardassian facial ridges. Isham’s left hand is mangled. All the digits are present, but the hand curls in around itself as though having been injured and incorrectly healed. He’s never had surgery to fix this, though the option is available. He thinks of it as a reminder.. One would be wise never to cross the Obsidian order.
Age: 35.
Build: 6’2”, 215, muscled.


Personality:
Isham is a ranking Gul among the Cardassian Union, a member of the 3rd order, and in charge of the Dominion troops in the Acamar system and surrounding areas. This affords him a air of authority. He isn’t used to be questioned, isn’t used to being told no. He expects that when he speaks, whatever he says is to be obeyed. He’s a passionate man, somewhat slow to anger, however, when he is angry, his temper has been known to get the best of him.
Isham is a tactician, however, is better at games of Cardassian social strategy than he is at military warfare. He understands well the power of a favor, and the value of a secret, so he always listens to the whispers of dark corners. Though he has a healthy fear of the Obsidian Order which stems from an alleged incident between himself and them a few years back, which is rumored to be the source of his injured left hand.

Bio:
Isham is a son of Gul Thior Lakem, a well known and highly thought of member of the Central Command. His family have been privileged citizens of the Cardassian Union their entire lives, managing to stay in their status through his fathers manipulation of the Cardassian Social structure. On Cardassia, who you are isn’t as important as to who owes you. Collect personal debts, favors, and secrets on the right people, and you can climb the social ladder relatively easily, or in Isham’s case, maintain a high status without fear of falling. His family has a house on Cardassia Prime, just outside the Capital complex, and his brother is believed to be an active member of the Obsidian Order, though this is only speculation and rumor, and thus believes to be wildly false… though nobody has braved the question.
Political placement allowed Isham to propel himself through the ranks of the Cardassian military to the rank of Gul, securing him a place amongst the commanders of the 3rd order, though his ambition does not stop there. This is, in his mind, just a stop on the way to the legate’s office, and control of the Cardassian military.
Towards the Dominion, Isham has no love. He isn’t of the mindset that the Dominion holds Cardassia’s best interest at heart, as some of the more blinded of his brethren are. Isham believes that Cardassia is as conquered a nation as the Federation, though their surrender without fight has awarded them a police like position over the subjugated Federation of Planets, it’s a far cry from equal, free partners in the situation. Isham abhors the Dominion, and secretly looks forward to the day when Cardassian betrays is oath of loyalty and strikes at the heart of its Dominion masters. To subjugate the founders and make them believe they were fools to ever believe they could hold a prize as powerful as the Cardassian Union.

Nice post!

Narrow corridors of crates and containors, Sharp turns and many angles.... Gotta say, Disruptors are going to be a bit useless when its that cramped.

Besides, It's only a bit of play combat... He'll probably release his food in there later ^_^ if not.... He'll release it to the entire place.

And.... I'm good... Falling into the place as a Klingon quite nicely so..... RAWRRRRR BATTLE!! ^_^
