Hiatus/Slow
My next 18 credit hour semester is go go go on Monday. It will take me a while to deal with starting class at 8:30 AM and finishing at 7 PM. I am also having some nasty computer problems that probably won't be resolved until this laptop gets replaced next month, so if it blows up before then, breaks on campus are the only time I'll be able to do much. C'est la vie. I am never good at being totally absent when I'm on hiatus, but I will definitely definitely be sssslow.

In my neglect, I would say Carla's probably locked in her room being unpleasant and depressive between intermittent bouts of 'going to work.' An episode like that is a pretty workable lead-in to her calling together this fight club nonsense, so I guess I'll go with it.

If you need me/her though, plurk is a good bet, because I sit on plurk mobile through 99% of my classes.


Fight Club
Carla is thinking about calling together a fight club at the end of January/February. She would be making a public call for 'sparring partners' but really just turn up with a hat full of numbers and explain the rules.

I'll make another post about it later, but I wanted to take an initial read on how many people might be interested in that! Folks with powers are invited to fight, just not to use said powers. No weapons, fights end with tap-outs or knock-outs. Closer to the meeting, I'd be happy to take a list and RNG up matches. The idea is more to meet a variety of people, so I could also RNG up a winner, if you're not in to writing fights.

Those are just some initial ideas, and I am more than open to questions, suggestions, comments, and concerns.

(the CS student in me also feels obliged to note that RNG is not random, never will be, and never can be. So maybe I will actually roll some dice or flip coins.)

Nah. Mostly because he'll probably at least try to bring it and his razor and just know exactly where they are...

I hope your new semester goes well!

Sephiroth would definitely be interested in a "fight club", especially if it's advertised as "sparring partners". He can't really deactivate his super strength and speed, though.

I do want him to show up, in any case. He'll be curious, as always.

Sephiroth's really annoying about showing what he's got. He only does juuuust enough to beat you. >:C

But he's happy to help others improve!

I have a few of those that I keep for special occasions...

Aww, Carla. I can also recommend wacky curse days.

[personal profile] blizzardseason 2012-01-09 02:22 am (UTC)(link)
She's gotten off easy on curses so far...

When school and computers are kicking your arse less this is easily rectified.
