Confessions of a Mormon Otaku

I don't know how many folks on my flist actually celebrate Christmas. I just wanted to share this story that some real life friends gave my sis and I this month.

( Three Little Trees )

It's not really a Christmas story per se, but it doesn't really matter. What matters is that God has a plan for everyone. It may not be exactly what we had in mind, but it is always important in some fashion.

Found it through seasonal_icons today, and I thought it would express my Christmas wishes perfectly. At least somewhat. They didn't have a Turbine Points for LOTRO option.

Speaking of LOTRO, I haven't really talked about this game a lot here. Well, now I shall remedy that. I adore this game. It's just plain awesome in nearly every aspect. The developers are understanding and patient with the players, the community is on the whole far more mature than other games I've played, and the game itself is easy to get the hang of and challenging enough to make you want to come back.

Monday nights are especially fun for me in game lately, ever since I joined The Lonely Mountain Band kinship(guild) on the Landroval server. Why, you ask? Because Monday nights is when our RP event Ales and Tales occurs. Officially starting at 10:30 EST(we start gathering about an hour beforehand), we tell tales(lore appropriate, of course), play songs(the in-game music system is awesome), and generally just hang out and have fun getting drunk off of virtual booze(the only booze I will ever touch). Seriously, drinking alcohol in game makes the screen go all double vision on ya. It's loads of fun and open to anyone on the Landroval server. The location changes from week to week. This week it will be at our recently appointed HQ in the Raglan neighborhood of the Bree-land Homesteads. Tons of fun are sure to be had.

In other news, having a cold stinks.
