A gay nerd who likes horror/sci-fi/fantasy and ttrpgs. I also write and go on hikes sometimes.
So, I don't like to be political, but also understand if hell exists, I got my ticket years ago (according to a guy I worked with because I'm gay).
When I saw Kristi Noem run from congress, I riffed, "Sorry! I have to pick up my shift as a nurse from 'Escape From LA!" Laughed myself silly. #IYKYK

I was on the phone last night who tried to explain my job to me, even though he has no experience in my field.
People have forgotten the old saying: "It's better to keep your mouth shut and let people think you a fool, rather than open it and remove all doubt."

I was having a hard week.
Then, I ran a table of MOTW today.
4 hours of improv, my table kept me laughing, and they even killed the BBEG and gained an ally.
It was a good day!

Sometimes, I dream of how peaceful it would be, living as an NPC in a cabin on the side of a mountain, who aids weary adventurers and answering their questions only if they beat me in a game...

I was bored at work, and I started calling Flo Rida "Florida" to see if anyone would notice.
It led to a five minute extended joke about mispronouncing singer's names that about killed my friend at the front desk because of laughter.
My peticular favorite is saying Ho-Ho Schwa instead of Jojo Siwa
