Duper Doo!

I'm not feeling particularly excited today, but I thought writing about things I'm excited about would be a good thing! So here!

1. Volunteering at the Museum of Antiquities on campus! I am going to be... researching? It is one of those things I should have asked about, but I was kind of too excited. I guess I am going to compile information maybe? I am doing research on the glass collection. So. Anyway I'm very excited, I might do tours as well! Are you excited for me doing tours!?

2. The possibility of working at the MoA's summer camp for children! You realize I am the MAN for that, right? I would be so fucking excited for that. Move over, boys and girls club! And a good thing about that too would be that I won't feel awkward telling the boys and girls club that I want to work there instead, because its totally reasonable, right? "Hey, I'm afraid I won't be able to work the whole summer at the camp this year, because I've just been offered a great opportunity et cetera, I love history so much and this is great, et cetera".

3. Playing Axis and Allies next week. Um. Yeah. There are some guys from high school I meet up with every once in a while to play Axis and Allies or paintball with. I am excited.

4. Dungeons and Dragons! I'm not playing/running any games right now, but I am excited about this one idea I had for a big campaign. An adventure to a Dwarf mountain city. I've got a villain and everything. It is open but has clear objectives and checkpoints. The villain is so interesting you guys, but the details are a secret! I have just been working on it here and there, and I have maintained excitement for it for a long time, which makes me think it is actually a good idea! I enjoy thinking and planning for D&D a lot... it makes me imagine things like old dwarves guarding doorways, tired in appearance and still strong, their shields stained black from a fire long ago... gnomes doing yoga in a field... riders storming down a hill.

Hey Hads, I'm really stoked that you're going to be volunteering at the MoA. You're basically their dream candidate, as far as I can tell.

I've been getting excited thinking about D&D as well... I have a ton of exciting ideas for my monk campaign and am really wanting to collaboratively tell that story. We should really do some research and find a good virtual game table, so that we can get our online D&D on!
