So, gaming has been cancelled for the night...due to general chaos at the house and lack of positive responses...

I can live with that. :-) More time to work on the rough draft of my paper..more time to read up on this article on school bullying...

This weekend? Class, then a meeting for the Convention stuff...neither of the two programming leads will be able to be there, so I'm coming in to give a quick report, and then vamoose...I MAY stay for parts of the committee meeting, but still won't be staying for the club meeting...

Once again, had a friend say that the elite who are prepping the convention needed to split and form their own...and he'd be willing to help. Somehow, it came to me as someone to pull a group together like that..because, even if I don't have the skills, I can talk to and recruit the people who do.

Whereas I appreciate that type of compliment? Really? I don't want that responsibility right now...

Several years ago, I essentially felt like my life was on hold..that any plans I wanted for the future had to be put off, because the membership of the club had trusted me to run the convention...that was amazing for someone who, at the time, hadn't been around long..anyways, that story runs long, with a lot of "Me being valued" mushy feeling crap rolled into it..

So, Convention is over...I'm helping in minor ways, and refusing to be drawn into the chaos, because as I found out last year, I REALLY have to make a life...something that feels like I"m working towards something.

Tis interesting reading this article on school bullying...of course, as would be common, certain things are coming back to life for me, but the more fun is just how much psych-babble is in it, in regards to bullying being responsible for the sun going nova, amidst a host of other "medical" maladies...not sure where I stand on that, yet...will still be an interesting paper. Am hoping I can come up with enough opinion in it that this one will be my Final...

No Current Five...brain is too tired, too fried, and the give-a-damn is broken in the off position..

Need to e-mail the other gaming company, and see what their plans are for Gencon this year...and how I can help there.

I was one of those 'tormented children' back in the day, so I'd be interested in the article on bullying as well as your paper....if that is something you are willing to share.

I just looked at what what I typed....to clarify...I was one of the kids BEING tormented by others....I was not a 'tormneted soul' that felt the need to pick and bully others.

*heh* I kinda assumed that's what you meant...and hadn't misread that, so all is good.

Let me see what the paper becomes...as is? Go look at inspire.net, and do an educational search, for Bullying, in schools...that should pull up the pDF, as it'll likely be quicker thann me getting it to you.

I didn't think anyone who actually knows me would misread that, but as I have seen some articles that refer to bullies as 'tormented souls who feel they must express their inner toment and rage on their peers...blah, blah, blah..', so I thought it might be a good idea to clarifiy.
