[d20Dwarf]

So I'm sitting at dinner with Bree and a friend tonight, and I started a sentence with the following:

"You know, they had **deleted for your protection** on Oprah today..."

Her: 'So, what do you do?'
Me: 'I'm a writer.'
Her: 'Really!? Wow, that's cool. So, what do you write about?'

I've had binges of 18+ hours of Dark Age of Camelot-until I cut myself off cold turkey. I bought RttToEE for my PC but have not even loaded it yet .

TV and games can be a time Vampire.

You mean an hour and a half each time, right?

My favorite was always, "Well, I didn't get paid by company X again. Guess I'll be paying my rent with my credit card..."
