aaaargh.

Have set up a new gaming group for friday nights.

one of the players keeps trying to cancel last minute because she wants to go do other stuff.

it's getting kind of infuriating as we started 4 weeks ago and  have only had 1 game aside from character creation and prelude.

she's one of my oldest friends and it's starting to piss me off. She did say it would be hard for her to make every session but i was assuming it was work and not other reasons than "Oh, I;ve got a LARP game sunday and i want to go to taekwondo" or "someone has invited me to the pub".

I avoided chewing her out very narrowly earlier and have decided to ask if there is a better way to keep to a regular schedule/ not cancelling last minute unless work or sick or a good amount of notice (I.e not morning of the game day).

she just un-cancelled after cancelling. FUUUUUUUUUUUU

run the game without her

we've moved it to Monday night now. This should mean that she gets less distracted by other fun weekend stuff. I'm playing Werewolf the apocalypse and can't really run a rite of passage without the entire pack. I will be trying to get maybe a couple extra players for if it all falls through with her and her partner (he's an old hand and understands gaming and the commitment it takes better)

Pixie, I will join your gaming group in your friend's place.

I can only take part via IRC, but I am sure this will present less of a problem than the current arrangement.

yanno with voice chat and speakers that might just work.

Tonight we are meeting up but we are discussing scheduling.

I personally think the fact that he did fucked up shit in the past doesn't negate that this time he did the right thing.

maybe he's getting more bipedal, maybe that's why he doesn't want the reward money. Personal redemption?

It does help...the pills are more for the anxiety than the depression though.  The depression sort of comes and goes and, while I don't take it quite as seriously, the people around me seem to be more negatively affected by it.  The anxiety is more personal.

I also started eliminating as much processed foods in my diet as possible as well as going easy on dairy and carbs.  I've been having a fruit and veggie shake mixed with coconut water every morning and that's doing wonders for my energy level.

if it's not primarily  for mood, then I'm a wee bit confused. I am ANXIETY GIRL! and my doc gave me beta blockers for the stopping panic attacks and physical symptoms. I'm getting pretty good at figuring out when to take them.

...for a generalized anxiety/depression thing.

I know you're all pretty intelligent folk--some of whom have probably treaded down this road before and was wondering if you had any advice I could screen?

did they offer you a talking therapy?

ROGER I NEED YOU!

I caught you a delicious bass and im holding it. Hopefully this doesn't turn on the Tuscan guy. Hi, I've been called Paul once or twice in my life. This Paul guy kinda likes the mime look. If you want ro know more then tou know what to do. Luap

And then we have the minimalist, whose username is also his phone number:

Hi

Tuscan?  You know some Italian?

I'll come up with something tomorrow.

  Awesome.

In the interest of full disclosure, I have this in my profile:

You should message me if
You want to receive a personalized response from my Spiritual Advisor. He's a guy who lives in Tucson and his head is full of bees, and I'm having him write my responses for a while. Because why not?

Write message, switch it though google translate and back again from italian, hilarity ensues.

I'm just going to be upfront RE: Happy Ending Dude.

That is not a service I provide, there is no trick or password or Right Thing To Say that will make it happen. Ever. If you ask me again I will end the session, allow no further sessions, and consider most strongly pressing sexual harrasment charges. Ja?

That should do it. If it comes up again, and often, (aha) I may consider a Wall Of Shame.

GOOD.
