here is an excerpt from sundays with vlad i have been meaning to transcribe since i first read it (great book btw, i’m still working on it, these days i read pretty slow).
excerpt:
in a live-action role-playing game, or LARP, like the one played by the camarilla, everybody dresses up like their character and they act out what their character does. the players use a complicated system of signals and hand gestures to tell other folks what they’re doing as they wander the[hotel]halls–a vampire who is using some kind of special seeing or hearing ability might point to his eye or his ear with his left index finger. while i follow hermann, i hold up my hand with my first two fingers crossed – the signal for being out of the game, as well as the universal symbol for “i’m lying to you about not stealing your pop-tarts” on every schoolyard in america. a player might also cross a hand over his chest to indicate that he’s invisible or make an L with his fingers to indicate that she’s speaking a different language.
end excerpt.
he’s talking about this yearly hotel weekend gathering of nerds doing live action role play, pretty hilarious. if i wasn’t so hung i would transcribe some more.
we are on the last roll of tp, we fight about who should buy it all the time, i use more than fil cos i got two places to wipe, fine, but now that he’s home with me crapping up a storm i think it’s closer to equal now. one time we fought so hard about toilet paper we didn’t speak to each other all the way home in the car. he likes to mime that he is wrapping a tp mitt around on his hand, i don’t even do that. anyway fil this is a head’s up it’s your turn to buy tp memo. oh i can already hear him slamming on his keyboard across the room writing me a flame in my comments.
i have never ever looked at the ceiling at the shoe before thanks to these balloons it finally happened.
