new year report
Last night with the help of some cold medication I was able to make it out to Nation. Seamus had to drop out at the last minute, so a random lucky faghag got free admission. I enjoyed the small pleasure of selecting out of a group of strangers who would be the recipient of a free ticket to avoid the overpriced admission. She was very gracious, God bless her. Were I a multibillionaire, I think I would really enjoy forming 'The Jimbo Foundation,' or somesuch nonprofit to give money to deserving and needy charities. I'd be more of a giver if I had more to give.
Despite the fact that I was alone, people were still friendly. 180-degrees from a typical snooty bear party, I might add. One shirtless muscleskinhead wrestler INSISTED I dance with him much of the evening, and introduced me (sometimes twice) to everyone around him. I guess he was rollin' on the love train. OK, if you insist, it's really not a problem, I will dance with you. I also got to get some real close dancing in with furry-armed late-30s short muscle Daddy material. I think he had a boyfriend, but I gave him my card anyway.
But alas, without even looking at a clock, grampaw jimbo was ready to go by about 2:30, which seems to be my usual ending point no matter what the case. The lower back was tightening up, and the music was getting all Tina-ed out and monontonous, so I went home to reluctanty shower all the hot musky mansweat off of me.
Tomorrow I'm going on a date with a friendly, polite Southern man. I like how Southern mommas raised their boys to be polite and press their shirts and all that. He's very cute and has a beard of course.
Then later that evening I'm going out to the Eagle to meet up with a potential new geek for the D&D group. We need a new player. As I've stated before, our geek HR policies are often more strict than that of some major corportations. We've been looking for someone out of our circles of friends, able to socially integrate outside the geek environment, and able to attend gaming sessions every two weeks or so with dependability. I was hoping for another female for more female energy, or even a 'gasp!' straight guy to add some het energy to the group. Several layers of grueling interviews and test geeking are requred before integration into the tightly-knit group of gossipy carbo-munching geek-queers. Benefits include endless supplies of fattening food, an extensive gossip network, gift exchange on the holidays and occasional free condo use at Ocean City.

Ack - several layers of grueling interviews and test geeking? Hope I can pass this.
On the other hand, the benefits seem worthwhile!!

And that's just getting past Jimbo, you still have to get the thumbs up from the rest of us.
As the last new recruit I can say that the group is worth any arduous task that Jimbo can come up with.

Hey Jimbo. Spoke with Glenn Kirksey and want to throw my hat in the ring to play D/D. Historically experienced, however I'd love to hear from you and figure out how to make this work.
JOEL (meet you at Blow Off)

I hope you're testing the ability to remain stoic in the face of "hurp" as well as the ability to devour a single row of Oreos in a single bound.

I'M polite, friendly, hopefully cute, and bearded.....and from the South....but wouldn't dream of sitting around a pressing a shirt when the flannel and denim is more than satisfactory. Hope that Southern man treated you well.
