Murphy's Law 4 (4 Times The Mayhem!)

[CoffeeIncluded]

You may be the only person who does, in that regard.

I can just see Serrin running laps around her room while shouting excitedly while Rolf is passed out.

Well, high school is not exactly the most accurate measurement of society and culture as a whole. College is much better in that regard, as high school is where most of the idiots lurk.

I find out next year!

Hm. Well, its still good to know you and your family weren't directly effected or anything. I didn't know New York got tornadoes, especially in the city!

Neither did I!

[Lycan 01]

Hm. Okay, I see your point, and I am reminded of "Death by Snu-Snu" from Futurama.


College. Is. Awesome. Seriously, you will love it. Even if the one you go to is different from mine, it'll still rock your socks off. No bullies, no cliques, all the high school cliches are gone. You can be yourself, and not worry about being judged. I go to a pretty conservative school, and I still see people with anime t-shirts, spikey neon hair, and random things that would have made people in high school hate you... but are "normal" in college.


They're pretty common in Mississippi. One almost hit my college last year, in fact. It touched down a few blocks away, IIRC.

[MoleMage]

Heh Gicko. Were I two to three years younger I'd probably agree with you. As it is, well, a Junior in college tracking down a senior in high school (third year university and last year pre-university for you non-Americans) from halfway across the country is just a little...creepy. So I won't entertain the idea.

Plus, from what I can tell she's a cat person. I'm a dog person. Would never work.

Pretty much.

You have just made me even more excited about college, if that's possible. Will I have time to work on my comic?

MoleMage, I'm more of a dog person, but that would still be extremely creepy.

[MoleMage]

Well, I still have time to participate in numerous play-by-posts, play my video games, play in one real-life DnD campaign, create homebrew when I want, and sometimes work on my language for the race of gnolls in my homebrew system which I also have time to work on sometimes. Oh, and read like ten webcomics including yours, read fantasy novels (usually before bed), and play frisbee when we can get enough people for it. I don't do as many clubs as I could though.

MoleMage, I'm more of a dog person, but that would still be extremely creepy.

Well this changes everything. I need to travel halfway across the country to my original hometown up in ND, relieve my parents of the puppies (actually a twoish year old dog and two old dogs), then travel halfway across the country AGAIN and use them to attract your notice. Hah.

Like I said before, try to find guys in your interests; clubs do exist for all manner of things at most colleges. Learn from the mistakes of geeks before you (me) and actually take part in those clubs.

[Lycan 01]

Coffee, I have more time than I know what to do with at college, and I'm a Junior who's taken the max amount of hours allowed for every semester up until this point. I took so many classes my first two years that I'm almost out of classes to take. I could graduate half a year early, if I wanted. And even though I worked my butt off for those first two years, I still had more than enough time to spend hours a day doing nothing - playing video games, surfing the web, writing fan/crack fics, running RPGs, hanging with friends... And I still have a 3.0 average... without even applying myself to most of my classes. This semester, I'm only taking 15 hours - 5 courses. I spent about four hours in class on Monday through Thursday. I go to class for an hour on Fridays. An hour. And that's with 15 hours, an average schedule. I could take 15 hours for the next two semesters, and graduate. I could take 12 for the next three, the minimum, and still graduate on time. I'm a History Major, though, and I have less courses than a science-y major would need, admitably. But I know several medical, biology, and dental majors. They still spend more time having fun than working most days.



In short, Coffee, you will have time for you comic.

[Marnath]

I thought Terrence and Gianna were halflings, not dwarves?

[CoffeeIncluded]

Thanks guys. That makes me feel better.

I thought Terrence and Gianna were halflings, not dwarves?

Terrence is a halfling, Gianna is a dwarf.

[Lycan 01]

Coffee, if you have time in high school for all this, you will definitely have time in college. I did way more work in high school than I've ever had to do in college, on average. I mean, reports and stuff are hard and time consuming - I need to work on a 5 page paper due Wednesday, actually - but generally speaking, classes aren't that demanding.

You'll enjoy it. Trust me.

[Silverraptor]

Take it from me Coffee, you will have time to do this during your college year. And if you have trouble, you can always come to me so I can practice my therapist classes if you want to just want to talk. I'll listen any time you need me.

(Speaking of which, check your pm soon.)

In junior college. The first thing i realize was 'god this class is cold!'

The first thing i realized that didn't involve classrooms was 'DAMN i have a lot of free time'

[Asta Kask]

Terrence is a halfling, Gianna is a dwarf.

Now I want a Terrence and Philip crossover.

[Allan Surgite]

My dense black core of cynicism warns against hoping that college will be good; hopes are the first step towards disappointment. Mind you, a little hope is never bad. Blah, this makes me seem a lot more... what's the word? Jaded, perhaps. Yes, jaded works. So, it makes me seem a lot more jaded than I am. Regardless, I wish you enjoy college when it comes~

Anyway! I've not read the prose as of yet, nor the comic in any great detail. Would you kindly put a link on this page, since I've only just caught up on the thread and have forgotten which page it's lurking on.

[CoffeeIncluded]

The comic's on the front page. The story is here.

[Darklord Xavez]

You're a great girl with a good heart, a sense of humor, and a love of DnD, webcomics, and other "nerd stuff" most girls hate. You are a rare breed that many guys I know would fight tooth and nail just to be friends with, let alone date. Don't be too hard on yourself.

Totally behind you on that.
-Xavez

[MoleMage]

Well, in theory its true, but from what I've seen, most geeks aren't like to fight tooth and nail over many things. Shyness kinda gets in the way of that.

However, their willingness to actually fight notwithstanding you'll definitely be piquing their interest.

I consider myself pretty geeky; and I would fight tooth and nail over many things (I am also a martial arts enthusiast so that might be the reason I would do that)

[CoffeeIncluded]

I'm a true wizard. I'm not physically strong in any sense of the word, but I am smart.

[Dusk Eclipse]

Smartness is something I really found atractive, IMO there is no point on a relationship if you can't have a meaningful deep conversation.

[HalfTangible]

Can i quote that? it's just too awesome XD

I'm a true wizard. I'm not physically strong in any sense of the word, but I am smart.

In that case you'll attract people actually capable of holding a conversation. That's the second best kind, next to weird people who might be good at conversations anyway.

Unfortunately, I have serious social issues.

Now I have good news and bad news with the comic:

Bad news: Because of college apps and senior and swim team...Well, you know how much it's eating into my time.

Good news: When I'm swimming laps for 2 hours straight, my mind needs to wander to stay sane. (Yes, I have a very short attention span; I'm diagnosed with ADHD and take medicine and stuff). This gives me lots of time to think of the Aequar series.

I'm gonna need a flowchart for the sequel.

[John Cribati]

I'm a true wizard. I'm not physically strong in any sense of the word, but I am smart.

I'm a Monk. I'm powerful in theory, but when I get into a fight, I'm pretty much useless.

[Mystic Muse]

I'm a commoner with badly spread skillpoints.

[MoleMage]

I'm an expert. With no particular pattern to skill points. If magic existed, I'd be a sorcerer probably; except I don't know if I have enough Charisma.

[Lycan 01]

I'm a Bard, but we already knew that.


I have a few more things to add to the whole "Coffee having social issues and getting a boyfriend" conversation, but I am afraid we may be getting off topic. So, I'll just PM them to Coffee instead, rather than posting several paragraphs off off-topicness.


Also, its a pity we have to wait, but I can be patient for new comics. All good things in time, after all.

[RdMarquis]

I'd probably be an Expert, too. Or maybe a Monk.

[CoffeeIncluded]

Only 2 more days to wait. Now let's get back on topic.

[Maxios]

In other news I'm currently working on a webcomic, and one of the characters is a Half-Orc who may or may not be of evil alignment.

[RdMarquis]

Great, I'll have something to look forward to on Friday.

[Maxios]

I am, I just have to actually make the strips. I'm still in the character designing phase.
