To my little twenty sided die,
Oh, the power that you hold,
The strength over life and death alike,
Through you my story will unfold.
You cost so little yet give so much,
Your worth’s not in your weight,
So smooth and light you are to touch,
Please have mercy on my fate!
One cannot fight on stats alone,
Unless you are a fool,
All power lies in dice and wrist,
You ca be a cruel and fickle tool.
As you toss and bounce across the table top,
My heart begins to beat,
On 2? On 10? Your playful dance
Will determine my next feat.
Be kind to me this day I pray,
For there is much at stake,
The world is full of nasty things,
Of my head, a fine helmet they might make!
Clink, clink, I hear you tumble,
My heart begins swell,
Until I see that horrid number,
Which has doomed me straight hell.
Curse you, plastic Judas!
Single digits burn my eyes.
My hopes are crushed and shattered,
Body slumps and teammates sigh.
Praise be to my party members,
Who can keep me on the track,
They’ll pick me up and dust me off,
Don’t worry, I’ll bounce back!

A Tribute to Xanga
A recent addition to my friendship circle made a comment a little while back about how it was "adorably old school" that I still blogged on the once popular site known as Xanga. I realized in that moment that indeed, many have left the once fertile land for greener pastures, and I have wondered if my own lack in motivation to blog was greatly due to this fact.
So here I am - moving on.
Hello, new blog!
So why "Geeky Bliss and Sunshine"? Well, I wanted my title to include two things that didn't seem to go together, because that's often the way I see myself. I am in many ways a walking paradox: a loud and confident introvert, a gym addict with little to no vanity, a decently liberal Christian, a female gamer.
I'm inevitably going to be talking about super geeky things like video games and sword fighting, but I also plan on talking about my life, which is inexplicably ungeeky if you were to only peek at it from the outside. Thus, I spliced two opposites together, playing off the idea that you most likely know: all geeks hiss and smoke when they are forced to exit their little caves of safety during the day.
Xanga, you were so good to me and to many. You were my first, and thus will never be forgotten.
