@Thenomain Back in the day, X-Men: End Times (XET) also had a sort of 'RP Oscars' and I always thought they were a blast.
Nominating for them also meant people went back and reviewed the last year's logs, which is always kinda cool.
omfg it's a @bladesurfer. 
I'm gonna go ahead and be the asshole here, because while it's super great to include--especially meaningfully--people outside your friends, the best advice I can give you is:
Run shit for your friends.
At least at first. Fuck other people. Your friends will understand if you fuck up, don't know a rule, have to go clean up after the dog, whatever. Basically every stressful situation I've ever had as an ST has been because of people I don't fucking know, or that I don't get along with in the first place, but was in the unenviable position of having to ST for, for X or Y reason.
I'm not saying NEVER run for people you don't know. Just... get comfortable with the people you do first, then dip your toe further out. And if people judge you as exclusionary and a jerk for it, they can go sit and spin on their lack of plot, because chances are they don't get any scenes because they act like entitled monkey farts.
Good luck!
P.S. Also, all that stuff @Faceless and @Gilette said. Keeping in mind, of course, the above.
This is pretty great, but I was honestly expecting something a little more Night Vale-esque towards the end. XD

You can't be busy with other stuff for a long time and leave us high and dry and then come back and be like 'waaah they're busy now'.
Hypocrite!
I mean, I feel like I've successfully proven that I CAN, in fact, do JUST THAT.
I'm sorry, let me rephrase briefly:
You can't be busy with other stuff for a long time and leave us high and dry and then come back and be like 'waaah they're busy now'. Without being a DIRTY HYPOCRITE.
Go take a shower of honesty and self-crit.
@Coin, my man, broheim, Broba Fett, brochacho; you seem like you have a lot on your mind, heart, and shoulders. If you need to talk about it, just log onto Arx and page me. I'm more than willing to hear you out.
XD
You're all dirty, dirty Arxers!

@icanbeyourmuse - Well, you know I'm Leona at least. And Royal and Coin don't play. BECAUSE THEY HATE ME. (where hate is defined as "being busy with other stuff")

but there's a kind of odd annoyance when you eat something, and unsure if it's good or not, you keep eating it.
Boy do I now this feeling. I've been experimenting over the past year and such with cooking new stuff and sometimes it's like, "did this turn out all right or is it a horrible fucking dumpster fire? eh, whatever. om nom nom."
P.S. I also put pictures of my culinary acomplishments on Instagram, now.
Yeah. Come at me.

@Coin you know, that place I tried to get you to come play on this past Sunday and you gave me a very evasive "I'm totes done with MUing" answer?
Edit: And @Royal too.
Yeah well.
In both their defense it wasn't phrased precisely like that, naturally. I'm sure they'll come around eventually, when the real world permits it. We still heart you both.
Eat a dick!

When are you going to run something where my character can be absolutely fucking brutally awesome again?
Because I liked that part.

Woah, woah.
I need this.
Who did the cover?Forever Never in their album "I Can't Believe It's Not Metal".
Thank you!
No problem!

@Ganymede Sure. I mean, I don't have as many as I used to (hard drive death) but still... so many.
@Ganymede We can trade covers when I have some more time (and am home for easier access).
I love love LOVE punk rock covers of pop/oldies. So you KNOW that Me First and the Gimme Gimmes are basically my idols.

I love good covers.
I love MOST covers, but I especially love good ones. YouTube has been a godsend in a way, because you get people like Holophonics, Postmodern Jukebox, and Walk Off The Earth who do amazing covers.
Honestly, Spotify's Discover Weekly.
I mean it also has some cringeworthy shit, like some band called The Dudes who sing songs about wanting some other dude's girl and that he knows she belongs to him but he wants her anyway? Like, it is perhaps the most objectifying song I have ever heard, it was painful.

Legion was good. It didn't live up to the hype, but it was better than I expected. Which, really, is the sweet spot. So I'll be watching it.
