We had a thread similar to this last week, didn't we? Monk, character sheet, unfocused player.
Reminds me of a funny story. I was in a local game store, Dr. Comics and Mr. Games way back about a decade ago.
I was looking at the game books and an excited guy, who I believe was a teenager asked me if I played. So we had a short conversation and he asked if he could come to our next game. I said yes and gave him the contact info.
So we met as usual and he was there. The only quality I can recall that was annoying was eating the snacks and having food fly from his mouth. I know the host wasn't pleased.
But in my defense, how many times are people going to actually follow through with finding directions, getting from Piedmont/Oakland to San Leandro, and having the balls to show up, eat snacks, all that? If I recall he had to take the bus one way and get a ride from his mom the way back.
Anyway, we briefly "ended the game" when he asked if we were going to play next week and then started where we left off.
