Now, I don't want to encourage excessive emoting here, because it can get a little annoying if emotes are making one of your chat boxes scroll, but I just have to /dance and /giggle a little here because we got an offer on our house, counteroffered, and now we go to settlement on August 31. I need to mail a deposit check today on the place that we're hoping to buy. If everything goes smoothly, we'll be moving soon.
If you've been reading this blog over time, then you know what that means: soon I will get my desktop PC out of storage, and that may very well mark my return to active MMORPGing.* Oh, what fun we'll have when my feet are firmly.... or not so much firmly as imaginarily... planted on the electronic soil of some virtual world!
There will be /dancing. Oh, yes. There will be /dancing.
And then there will be blogging. Oh, yes. Much blogging.
*Ugh... did I just verbify MMORPG? To quote Calvin (of Calvin and Hobbes), "Verbing weirds language." It's probably a sign of the times that I read MMORPG as a single word, pronounced "Ememo-arpeegee" (or "More Pig", when I am in a mood), rather than the words it stands for. I don't think I'd ever say that I'd be returning to "massively multiplayer online role playing gaming". For one thing, I am too lazy to say that many words in a row when I am talking about a single thing. For another, it's ugly and awkward.
I've got to run to the post office now. I'll be trying to think of a better, more compact way of naming the genre while I am gone. I realize noone will adopt my suggestion and MMORPG is pretty well established, but it is just the sort of problem I like to mull over when my brain is idling.
