It's moments like this that make me glad to be geeky.

Hello, who are you? Your IP address indicates you're in Canada...

Nerd. I have a feeling if I where to do such, itd be re: Harry Potter. I have too many friends who live the death eaters...

Aww, you wouldn't pretend you're Captain Jack or someone vs. the Daleks or the Cybermen?

I think I'd go for UNIT vs. the Master myself.

Excellent.

And...nerd.

Am I allowed to hope for Marcus Thorne vs. the Maxim of Relevance?

[mayamaia.livejournal.com]

Who? You must outdo me, must you? *grins*

[animate-mush.livejournal.com]

The first Deadlands character I played. Marcus Thorne, Field Botanist! Look under my Marcus Thorne tag one of these days. And the Maxim of Relevance is, of course, "Be Relevant."

*quirked brow* Well, I've heard you mention this before, but I don't quite see how it applies to paintball.... sounds fascinating.

[animate-mush.livejournal.com]

It applies only in that I was being facetious. We were bringing up classic enmities, and Marcus and Relevance are certainly one of those.

Yeah, paintball would be tricky.

[animate-mush.livejournal.com]

Heh.

I used to paintball when I was younger. Paintball injuries are *nasty.* I got hit in the throat, and no words I could use to describe that would come close to conveying the OMG SEARING PAIN. I always wore a neck-guard after that, but still.

I also got barely grazed on one knuckle, which didn't hurt at all, so I ignored it. Then looked down a few minutes later to discover my knuckle swelled to the size of a pingpong ball and had turned green. (IT WAS ORANGE PAINT.)

Sounds like my kind of fun!

But seriously, I've been itching to try it for years - just lots of random things got in the way. I'm fairly sure it will happen eventually.
