Squee

It's so weird how just a few years ago I was that awkward highschooler that played Nightmist because he was too poor to do anything else.

...Now I'm just that awkward university student. xD

I was able to finish my first year at McMaster University with 9.5/12 average. It was way different than what I was expecting, but I found that I was able to keep my balance after the initial shock. I guess that's what they're trying to test.

Those bastards.

By the way, I don't know what a 9.5/12 average means either xD
I think it's like a B+ or an A- or an 80%. What this means is that I get to renew my entrance scholarship: $2000!

That's a lot of Mac & Cheese.

Speaking of which, I've recently experimented with Mac & Cheese pizza. I ordered a Hawaiian pizza and poured Mac & Cheese all over it. Pineapples go surprisingly well with it.

In September, I'll be starting my major in Honours Biophysics. And after that, I'll be aiming for Med School. That means I've gotta start studying up for the MCAT! Phew, lots of work for me this year but I think I'll manage.

I've leased out a house with six other people (4 Engineers; myself, a science student; a buisness student; and a stranger who I don't really know that well, but he seems like a nice enough guy). In those four engineers is my girlfriend of over three years. We get the entire upstairs to ourself.

She told me that if I don't help clean the bathroom, we're through.

In my spare time, I'm still roleplaying over message boards and even playing D&D with some new people I met. A lot of them are really upset with me because our last D&D session was sometime in March with a killer cliffhanger ending (a professor at a magic academy cut open his stomach and when the PCs turned to leave, a bearded devil popped out! Not to mention, they're carrying an artifact of gross and evil power which they just recently found out is actually a fraction of a legendary Lich's phylactery). We haven't played since just because we live so far apart.

Squee still doens't drink or smoke anything. And I'm just fine with that. I'm saving hundreds of dollars. xP
(...Which, admittedly, I blew on D&D books. It's too damn easy to drop $200 or so on these books in just one trip to the hobby-shop.)

I'm working this summer at a factory doing manual labour. For me, it's at least the second layer of hell (the first is consists of my first two semesters in chemistry). The other day, I spent eight hours sweeping up an airplane hanger. On another, they made me sweep up a parking lot - then they yelled at me for using a broom and gave me a rake. How do you rake a parking lot?!

I have the feeling that my boss is just trying to make me suffer so much that I'll stay in school. Needless to say, it's working.

Anyways, that's about all I have to say. It's good to see that a lot of faces are still sticking around. I'm sure the game is much better because of you. It's also good to see that the game is making a steady (if not painfully slow) progression forward.

1-alt NM was a great push forward.

Next you'll need to make NPCs a bit more active. After all, they're characters and not just autamatons. Make it fun to go on a quest!

And because I'm a huuuuuge Forgotten Realms fan (What? You don't know what Forgotten Realms is? For the love of God, go read something about Elminster or Drizzt!), I'd say that greatest and most unique thing NM could do is have the staff play the role of gods with their own (sometimes hidden) agendas. What if Trevayne offered a massive amount of gold and jewels to a clan to go into the depths of Stadius' Realm to kill his trusted Seraph of Awesome and take his Amulet of Also Awesome?

Why, I think you'd have a good ol' Gods War on your hands. And everyone loves that!

Anyways, I'm rambling way too much. I'll end it here.

Take care of each other, Nightmist.

I'm basically testing how would nightmist look with icons that match each other and the rest of the user interface.

Possibly the sexiest idea ever.

Just thought I'd point out that this image is from the Expanded Psionics Handbook from Wizards.

...And that picture of the bearded dwarf is also from another D&D book. I can't place it exactly, but I'm sure I've seen it before. I just thought I'd point that out.

It might seem abit unnecessery, though im a firm believer that small things do make a difference.

Truer words, my friend.

And after this gets put in, maybe we'll see Nightmist's own calendar with original holidays! And maybe even weather will begin to change in NM!

Oh, oh! And don't forget NM's own pantheon!

...Aww, golly-gee, I'm all aflutter now. xD

Zing!
