I get ideas...

I get ideas for stories that I often don't know how to complete. Sometimes, I'll just get an idea for a character. That's what happened to me yesterday morning. I woke up with this character's basics, but I don't know her whole story yet.

Dr. Jennifer Derben. She's an MD, all through school & residencies & such, but the AMA wants her license to practice medicine pulled. Why? Because of her recent sex change. That's right, Dr. Derben was born male & made an "alteration to fit".

I like her; she's interesting, but I don't know how she got to this point or where she's going with it. :-/

KoL Philly Meetup

If you know me, you probably know that I play Kingdom of Loathing.

I've been playing for nearly two years, & I've made some good friends, which is weird considering I've never met most of them in person. Well, when the opportunity arose to see these crazies in the flesh, I jumped at it!


From left: Amextex, Wanderer's brother whose name I can't recall, Sir Nighcrawler, Wanderer202, KingDobbs and little lisa!


The only one I know in this photo is the skinny fellow 2nd from the right. That's Aeralis!

I also stood for some pics. I have to admit, I felt like a pygmy in a land of giants!


Alike in majesty, if not in physical stature! Me & KingDobbs! I've got a lot of ascensions, but next to this guy, I'll probably remain a newb forever. 8-)

Here's little lisa, who came all the way from Texas! A total sweetie, we share a bond forged by similar jobs with insane customers we have to support. It was lisa who threatened & cajoled me into agreeing to attend. (Truth be told, she didn't have to work too hard.)

SirNigh is one of my newst clannies & is always a lot of fun. We play a side game most days called "Where in the world is SirNigh today?" Nigh is a truck driver & is never in the same place any two times I ask him. Hell of a swell guy, too!

We also met a girl with a chicken on her head and her tiny paper fiance. I have no further explanation for this picture.
