Monday: Stench of Subway baking filling our office, nausia nixed (for the moment) by Sour Patch Kids and Skittles. Ahh, the joy of working at a university.

The Dog-Child: Gave my 4-month-old Lab-mix puppy a bath, & though good in the tub, once she was out, I never saw her so hyper for my attention & treats (which she earned), but damn she's demanding!

@RomanAria, you are indeed correct! I'm out of Latin for two years, and my memory goes to pot. And nothing like having to get to the end of the sentence to find out what the subject is! And thanks for the welcome! :-)
@RIGHTEOUSwench,I highly recommend "Inanna, Queen of Heaven and Earth," which was a collaboration between the wonderful storyteller Diane Wolkstein, and Assyriologist Samuel Noah Kraemer. Yeah, there's a little bit of modern bending, but it gets the tales across. Reading the actual translations from tablets can be just eyeball-gouging because their style of telling a story, their structure, is a bit different from our own; it's a bit like Tolkein gone hyper myth and without cultural references.

Forum: 1x1 Interest Checks
Let me start by saying that the 18+ reference is not because of adult scenarios (which there might be), but because I appreciate folks with life experience under their belt. Add to that, as a female I not only role play females (though their sexual preferences can vary), but I also run numerous NPCs of any gender, species, etc. I like a good tale, so I like to flesh it out.
That being said, I'm looking for someone to join me in role-playing/writing in the fantasy genre that TSR (now Wizards of the Coast) made so popular at the tabletop. I tend to play humans myself, but welcome elves, orcs, dwarves, satyrs, and MINOTARS (oh, did I just capitalize that last word? Yeah, I have a soft spot for the big guys.)
I'm NOT a statistics person, I'm a storyteller, so give me a character concept and we can run from there. I like creative people, and I'll warn you, though I have a life that includes a full time job and family, I love to write creatively and will gladly post at least once per day.
Please PM me! I'm rather shy about my writing, and don't want to clog up the public posting system.
By the way, if you're feeling tale of baud and smut set in the fantasy realm, and you're willing to do a paragraph or so, feel free to drop me a PM and we can discuss.

Salve omnes! (ancient Latin: Hello everyone!)
Okay, I'll stop being a smart arse college graduate... maybe. *mischevious grin*
It's great to see such a sizable resource for gamers of different types, writes and artists! Hopefully I can contribute at least a small something to entertain folks.
P.S. The handle comes from a Sumerian goddess of somewhere around 6000 B.C. who, according to what I can find, is the ONLY goddess treated as a whole person in the breadth of her tales. We see her as a child, a teenager coming into her own, a ruler, a builder of civilization, a mother, a wife, a warrior, a sister, and even a rape survivor (oh, justice was done, Sumerians had no tolerance for rape). To say the least, she's my favorite in mythology.
