Well this is it.
You may have noticed that the last few weeks I’ve been difficult to get a hold of, distracted, and otherwise distant. This is because I’ve been making a decision, an important one. I’ve decided to spend my life savings and fly to Japan to marry the love of my life.
I met Alice playing World of Warcraft six months ago, I was an Orcish Warrior, she was the Human Paladin Anatolia. We had little in common to begin with and we fought often about the nature of the Horde, whether Paladins were good or evil, and what should be done about fixing the World of Azeroth’s problems before the Burning Legion attacked once again. We began to talk more in more, first through the WoW forums, but eventually via AIM and Skype. The hate gave way to mutual respect, which eventually grew into friendship and then, love. We’ve been talking nearly daily for the last eight weeks or. She is contractually bound to remain in Japan for the next two years while I have no such obligations, so I’ve decided to take the next step and go to her instead of pining away here.
The ring is in my pocket, it is simple but elegant. It cost me most of what I own. I had to hock my anime and my 360 to cover it. I plan on proposing the moment I step of the airplane and meet her.
I know this is sudden, but I need to leave fast, before I lose my nerve. I want to apologize to all my friends for whom this will come as a surprise.

Sorry about TC, I had a lot of fun whenever I showed up.

I’m sorry about the BESM game, I’m sure you can find some other way to amuse yourself.
My flight from Sac International leaves soon, but I’m not sure when I’ll next have internet access, so I just wanted to say, thank you, all of you.
We’ve had our ups and downs, but the last eight years or so have been a wonderful time for me personally, I couldn’t ask for better friends.

I remain convinced that I would have been a full orc were such an option available.
I Am A: Chaotic Good Half-OrcRanger Fighter
Alignment:
Chaotic Good characters are independent types with a strong belief in the value of goodness. They have little use for governments and other forces of order, and will generally do their own things, without heed to such groups.
Race:
Half-Orcs are a cross between a human and an orc. Generally, this kind of mating does not occur willingly, so half-orcs are almost never raised by a full set of parents. They tend to be less intelligent and attractive than humans, but are generally stronger and hardier. Violence is a part of their nature, and few half-orcs manage to overcome this to follow other professions. They are generally treated with disdain by other races, if not outright hostility.
Primary Class:
Rangers are the defenders of nature and the elements. They are in tune with the Earth, and work to keep it safe and healthy.
Secondary Class:
Fighters are the warriors. They use weapons to accomplish their goals. This isn't to say that they aren't intelligent, but that they do, in fact, believe that violence is frequently the answer.
Deity:
Shaundakul is the Chaotic Good god of travel and exploration. He is also known as the Rider of the Winds. His followers are typically rangers, and work to protect the land. They typically wear leather armor, and carry long swords and short bows. Shaundakul's symbol is a white hand with the index finger raised.

A striking song about the horrors of the Crusades.
Robin Hood and Little John
Walkin' through the forest
Laughin' back and forth
At what the other'ne has to say
Reminiscin', This-'n'-thattin'
Havin' such a good time
Oo-de-lally, Oo-de-lally
Golly, what a day
Never ever thinkin' there was danger in the water
They were drinkin', they just guzzled it down
Never dreamin' that a schemin' sherrif and his posse
Was a-watchin' them an' gatherin' around
Robin Hood and Little John
Runnin' through the forest
Jumpin' fences, dodgin' trees
An' tryin' to get away
Contemplatin' nothin'
But escape an' fin'lly makin' it
Oo-de-lally, Oo-de-lally
Golly, what a day
Oo-de-lally, Oo-de-lally
Golly, what a day

I was talking with Dan one day and the phrase, "Your the Pieter to my Baron Harkonnen" came to mind in our conversation. What disturbed me was how much the comparison didn't bother me. I wonder if it's a natural reaction toward the playing of villainous characters. I think there are a few positive if not necessarily admirable traits of Harkonnen and I think I like the strange almost conspiratorial relation he has with Pieter and the other characters. Of course it goes without saying that his diversions and appetites remain horrible.
Anyway with that in mind I took this test so it might not be totally representitive.

Which Dune Character Are You?

On the other hand if you look at the other quiz characters, there aren't many good ones aside from Paul and maybe Leto and Duncan. Alia was a creepy abomination, Chani did jack and shit, Jessica was a conniver and Ghanima was merely a foil for Leto. And don't get me started about Irulan or that Prince guy... The Imperial court had one cool member, Count Fenring.
