As requested by mikailborg:

fleeing to canada

I'm substantially to the left of most of this country, I'm not terribly attached to much that's here (I'd miss a number of people; place has no particular resonance), and I hear Vancouver's nice. Limited planning began the morning after the election in 2004. Prop 8's a good reminder that I ought to get on with the less limited portion of the planning.

meeping

Often, though not always, preceded by nose-poking.

nanofictionary

Andy Looney's best card game, or at least it was before he decided to rewrite the rules and make it less game-like. Draw cards and make up a story based on them, with neat game-y stuff going on during the make-up phase. I should play this more often.

snail shells

They're the kind of thing you never see until you start looking for them, and then you see them everywhere. They're emblematic of an ongoing growth process that started in spring '03. I consider them to be spiraling out or in at different times, depending on what I'm looking for.

the scribblies

The Interstate Writers' Workshop. Steven Brust, Emma Bull, Patricia Wrede, Will Shetterly, Kara Dalkey, Pamela Dean, Nate Bucklin. A (formerly-)Minneapolis-based writers' group that's consistently turned out some of my favorite books.

tjhsst

The Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology. The first place I ever got to be surrounded by people like me. It made me the well-adjusted individual I am today.

zarf

I met Zarf at my first Origins in 1998. He writes adventure game reviews and text adventures, he got me into Planetarium, and for awhile he wrote a weekly compendium of niftiness that consistently made me smile. Zarf is one of the genuinely oddest people I've ever had the privilege to meet. I deeply regret being roughly ten years too young to have attended CMU with him.
