Penne noodles and an Alfredo sauce, and some breadsticks as well. Maybe a small salad to compliment it. That still leaves the question of which drink would go best. You can never go wrong with milk, but I might like a juice. Hmm. Actually, let's make that Chicken Alfredo over Penne noodles with a side of peas and breadsticks, then have a raspberry lemonade.
Or maybe I'll just heat a frozen pizza and grab a Barq's. It all depends on how adventurous I feel that night. But I'll still add those breadsticks, because you can't go wrong with breadsticks.

It's Christmas time! Put up the lights, and hold up your light! #LightTheWorld

And it's impossible to edit a status. Wonderful. I meant to say my hard drive is down; I'm working out of a flash drive now.

Whoops. That's one flash drive destroyed. Kids, take good care of your toys! For those concerned, thank you! I don't have any storage, but I do have access to a browser; roleplaying continues!

Driving on my lunch break when a random kid on the sidewalk yells, "It's the internet man! Hi internet man!" Spend the rest of Monday feeling like a champ.

Ah! That's what this is! It's my old role-player guild account!
Hello, folks, from a friend new and old. Old in that I spent many happy hours fictating way back in Old-Guild before Lost Christmas, and then I spent some time in New-Guild during its beginning development; new in that I've been gone for two years, so a lot of the "faces" I was familiar with back then don't seem to be haunting the place these days. Whether you've known me before or not, I extend to you a hearty greeting and a virtual feast. If you'd like a name shorter than the full one, please call me Taro. I'm rather comfortable with that one.
Well, you didn't come here just to hear about my history. You're probably looking to see what kind of a role-player I am. Truthfully, I'm not totally certain right now; two years without practice does bring on a multitude of changes. Then again, even in those two years I've kept the creative spark fed and fanned, in isolation though it may have been, and I can tell you this much with great certainty:
I like light-hearted laughter, soul-searching questions, and that precipice of commitment.
My favorite settings would be:
High Fantasy
Modern Fantasy
Science Fiction (new worlds, a newer Earth, even just in the immensity of space)
I consider it a given that, where boys and girls coexist in a story, Romance will blossom.
Horror I have a very weak stomach for. (I read the basic instructions for Betrayal at House on the Hill and had to consciously tell myself that night that everything was fine and I would sleep safely. I didn't even play a game; I only read the instructions!)
I stay away from graphic violence, sexual depictions of any nature, and profanities. I'm very much a PG-rated writer; I plan on sharing everything I write as bedtime stories with my kids someday.
I play a convincing dude (I'm sure you never would have guessed that), but a vast majority of my favorite characters are female. So if you have romance in mind, I'm happy to play either party. If you don't want a romance, you will probably have to tell me that plainly. Then I'll just go with what feels right for the story, subject to a few personal whims which I hope will only bolster the plot and development.
I'm very picky as far as my own ideas go. I'll try just about everything I can think of to break the idea in order to insure there are no gaping plot holes. I invite everyone else to examine my ideas in a similar light--different people, different thought processes, different problems discovered--and to offer any compliments or constructive criticisms you have. As part of that, I absolutely love pushing the boundary of an idea as far as it will stretch, or looking for that odd, "I never thought of using it like that" approach to a character's abilities.
What else would I say with this space? I really like old poetry; reading Isaiah gives me the happy trembles. I hope I've presented a fair assessment of my writing style and capabilities through this brief introduction. I love creating--creating characters and bringing them to life from the page; creating worlds filled with fascinating lore and beautiful locales; creating stories, be they narrations of ordinary men and women facing their trials or epics of fated heroes overcoming every obstacle to save Dwarf-kind.
And, in closing, I'm excited for the chance to work with you. I should be able to post daily. PM me anytime, especially if you have a question about anything I've said here or elsewhere, but even if you only want to chat. You could even ask me about my mysterious two-year absence. I'll tell you now that I was in California, but that doesn't really answer the question. I'm happy to talk anytime.
Sweet water and light laughter until next we meet!

I don't know, either. I just pulled up a menu from Beverly Hills and picked something in the pasta section. ^_^
Pyro V said I am master waiter. Quit your thumb twiddling.
What would you suggest to go with the Black Farfalle?
My thumbs are getting sore from all the twiddling, but I'm doing well enough.
I was kind of hoping someone would say Raki. ><
What do you think of Yuto?

Oh. An eight-year-old wouldn't really fill that gap, would he? Ruri and Taraah; Ada; Kiara, Xia, and Cyrus; Haven and Mal. You're right, we're very stacked.
Okay, I'm going to change that. Just so everyone knows, the small girl Ruri saved is really a small boy, and I'm going back to edit my posts as such.
Hmm. Claire is no longer a viable name, so I'll need a new one.

I'm not sure if I want to keep Claire or not at this point. I'm right on the edge, so if I grow any more attached there's no way I'm losing her. But you want Claire to be a dude? I guess I could go back and do that. It wouldn't change anything.
Ruri has a passenger to get to the city. Maybe. That was the plan when I first sent Ruri to save her, but some things might happen. I don't even have a name for her yet! =O What do you think of Claire?
Tyrell looked at the armored person, mildly surprised that she sounded like a woman. He received another, even more mild surprise when the looter denied her words. He kept his face passive, more than happy to let the guy walk away. That did leave one man beaten to a pulp on the ground, though, and Tyrell didn't want to be standing nearby when the guard showed. He looked up and down the street, checking for anyone with a weapon that might give him grief. No guards, no wannabe heroes, not even a butcher--a happy, peaceful street, by Tyrell's reckoning.
"You ain't with him, then. You two partners?" he inquired, turning his gaze to the other suit of armor. Tyrell squinted in an attempt to see inside. He couldn't make out any features in the darkness, so he finally gave up. Whatever they were, it seemed these two weren't particularly keen on their identities being known. Tyrell could respect that; he didn't like people knowing who he was either, but he had always favored the low-key approach. Full-body suits of armor were attention magnets, this one woman's especially so.

@Ryonara: Who? Do you have someone in mind, or are you leaving it open-ended so it could be anyone?
