Weird notes you have that have forgotten the context for.

[ConansWitchBaby]

You ever get that? I just stumbled into my own notes and saw:

"Do NOT sex the orc. Only one to respect because of the families eventually."
I think I know what orc I was referring to but not what families I was talking about.

"A slave AND a slaver! Market is pussies. Do it."
I'm drawing a bit of a blank on this one. What market? In story or in general? Don't slaves and slavers come hand in hand? Why would I have to point this out?

"Don't forget to put the ghost baby back in Christy. Don't forget the shaman did the thing. Maybe have it hover around? Decide if this will still be the MC's first baby or not."
Hmm. I think I know the plotline for this but, I can't remember a shaman. Or why I would want it to be hovering around the mother.

"Would the rotting girlfriend be squishy?"
It might be talking about a cursed lamia but this one got me confused to all hell when I read it for the first time.

I do but I need to find them.

 

[Hoshino]

What-nya.

 

[ConansWitchBaby]

What-nya.

Exactly

It sounds like the time when I was a teenager and me and my buddies decided it would be a good idea to write down all our good ideas when we were drunk and high at a house party.

"I don't know why the ducks are being so judgy."
I think it was meant to be like a snorted-awake fragment of a dream but who knows?

I'm not sure, but I think my cursive writing is now completely gone.
I just don't try anymore. It's a wild mix of print and italics these days.
Someone remind me why cursive writing was so important to learn.

Because it was used in business... because computers didn't exist apparently.

Always thought it was dumb needing to learn two ways to write the same language.

Yes :'( it's especially like that when you are writing fast because the ideas are flowing in your mind, and your notes wind up being a cursive/print mix of shorthand ideas that you'll be like, "I'll know what this means when I come back to it."

But more often than not, because you wrote the idea, you cemented the concept in your mind and may not have to look at the note again. until it turns up months later and you're like, "Wut?"

lol Exactly. *^^*

I honestly think I can read my chicken-scratch until I get away from it for a few weeks or months, and look at it again and...

I used to know some shorthand when I worked in the legal dept., but that knowledge has left me too.

Geez, I'm not THAT old. I actually took typing classes in high school for computers. ?

haha so did I, first on Apple IIe's then we got the IMacs I think. Coloured panels on a roundish housing, CRT monitor with the computer behind it.

I still remember our grade 9 comp science teacher saying we should convince our parents to invest in Google, back when it first launched.

I think I can top that.

A boyfriend I once had asked if I wanted to invest on the ground floor on a software company around 1986. I was like, "Nah, stocks are a complete waste of time," and we broke up a few months later.

The company was Microsoft. ???

I goofed on the year. lol Oh well, it was still a shock. I wonder how he is these days.
Hmm.
I wouldn't mind dating a millionaire again.

Hah, good luck.

I just need to find someone that plays D&D and wont judge me for writing smut. If I even look again.

Think we managed to derail this thread nicely...

Oh I found a bunch of random notes I wrote in my field message pad from 2004... Apparently I was delivering fuel to a different unit and between the numbers I was writing down, I also was putting ideas down for different pick up lines to use at the bar that friday...

 

[RepresentingCaution]

Depends on the edition of D&D ... though most of my friends are (like myself) either married (though some would probably be up for dating anyway...) or just "not playing THAT game (i.e. "dating") any more"

Heh. When I moved from Chicago to Boston, I went through about 20 notebooks and kept the 8 I could make any sense of (and, I found out later, accidentally four others, mostly of unfinished Champions characters from two different editions). From 2 of those eight I built about 1/3 of my second published module, so there is that...
