Metamorphosis

Still playing catch-up. I hope the next one is something interesting!

What you wore today, in great detail

...guess not.

Today today, or when-this-was-supposed-to-be-posted today? Either way it was a button-down shirt (white Friday, blue today), black pants, black socks, black shoes.

WORK CLOTHES.

Sorry, yesterday got hectic plus I couldn't decide what to write about. I've got a pretty good idea now, though.

A moment, in great detail

(It didn't say it couldn't be fictional.)

I believe this means I'm all caught up. That said, we continue on to:

Your day, in great detail

...yeesh. I get it. I'm supposed to Exposition Man the whole thing. You don't need to keep saying it.

Today was interesting, actually. And by interesting, I mean it started with the commute from hell. I'm not even bothering to capitalize it, I'm that pissed off about it.

( I knew Golf was going to be under construction... )

I was very busy this weekend, and thus was not able to keep up with it. I'll catch up today.

What you ate today, in great detail

What.

Does this mean a recipe? What the food meant to me? An anecdote about the food?

Okay. Trekkiegirl challenged me to be able to actually write this topic "in great detail", so goddamnit I'm going to do it.

Introduce Yourself

My name is Kevin O'Shea, and I am twenty-five years old. My ancestry is mixed Irish and Russian, with both Catholic and Jewish family members. By Judaic Law, I am Jewish (as it is a matrilineal religion), though I am not practicing¹.

I am a writer. I tinker with story ideas, and I dabble with outlines and scripts. I run a (roughly) bi-weekly Dungeons and Dragons group for my friends, and I think I do a pretty good job². I have a few story ideas for original novels and short stories in my head, but I have yet to put any work into them outside of brainstorming.

I run the Made of Fail podcast with my co-host Dayna, who often has the great ideas for shows while I just bounce off her cues. Our conversations are full of puns, pop-culture references, and thoughtful ideas, which is what gave me the idea to record them in the first place. The show has grown considerably; we average about three hundred listeners and have had quite a few awesome guests, many of which have their own notoriety in one form or another. I'd be happy if the show kept growing, but I want to make sure it doesn't grow faster than we can control it.

I play World of Warcraft, but am uninterested in any other MMOs. I specialize in roleplaying games, science-fiction action/adventure/shooters, and I dabble in fighting games.

My favorite books lie within the science-fiction and fantasy overgenres, though I stray outside whenever I find something interesting. I am currently reading the Dresden Files.

I love intricate storylines, clever wordplay, musicals with a whole lot of people tapdancing at once, landscapes, mysteries, and - as recently as the last few years - horror. I like piña coladas and getting caught in the rain.

My hobbies are writing, Warcraft, and humorous footnotes³.

I tend to shift between talkative and quiet, depending on various circumstances. I don't always reach out to other people, but I try to be available when people reach out to me.

I am extremely stubborn; if I make up my mind to do something, goddamnit I'm going to do it. I also have a habit of refusing help unless I specifically ask for it. I also have a habit of offering to pay for things while at the same time refusing to let people pay for me. This gets me into trouble sometimes.

I'm also friendly, polite, and outgoing, especially when meeting people for the first time. I have no trouble striking up or joining a conversation with a complete stranger.

---

1. To be entirely fair, I was raised around my Catholic family more often than my Jewish family, although my parents raised us without religion. Possibly to forestall any awkwardness. I know my grandmother expressed concerns about their mixed marraige.


2. I seem to specialize in getting first-timers interested in playing, and making them into life-long gamers.


3. Especially self-referencial footnotes³.

Not surprised in the least. Although the questions were also pretty obvious.

So, I had an idea for the worst Dune pun ever.



EDIT:
@Gendou: Or, "The Baron Harkonnen was found with his limbs stretched from their sockets."
@alliancesjr: That pronunciation works even better! But it doesn't fit in the bubble.
@Gendou: Now it can fit - http://tinyurl.com/kwizatzpun

It's been a while since I've done one of these. Taken from Linn.
