Today’s topic is purple. It is the color of royalty, and those dragons
you see down at the gas station during a bad acid trip. I really don’t know
what that’s like, and it makes me happy. I have enough crazy shit going on
inside my head, I don’t need to compound this with chemicals that make things
worse.
Say no to drugs, kids.
And, I forgot what I was saying…
Oh, right, Purple, the color of kings. This is the color Julius Caesar
wore the day his armies marched on Rome. He knew he would become Rome’s number
one citizen, and the first emperor, even though he never really was called an
emperor. I think most of that is attributed to Ceasar Octavious, Julius nephew,
who changes his name to Caesar Augustus when he takes the throne.
Though, I guess Augustus would have had to have someone build a throne,
you know, since he was the first emperor and the first sole ruler in Rome for something
like five hundred years, I think it was. I’m not sure.
History lesson aside, Cupcake (who did you expect?) gave me the color
purple as my topic for the day. She didn’t realize that today was cancer
awareness day or some such thing, and that their dominant color is purple. I
forget exactly what organization she was talking about. It probably wouldn’t take
much in the way of a Google search to find out, but I’m lazy and I don’t want
to do it.
As for other things, on days like this, when the topic comes from a
color. I really wish I had a wide array of pens to choose from. Yes, instead of
writing this in purple ink… I’m writing it in black. Oh the shame! Yeah, felt a
little overdramatic there for a moment.
Now, I believe I’ve run out of things to say about the color purple.
Isn’t there a movie or a book by that name? The Color Purple?
I believe there is, and I think it was about race relations or
something like that. I’m not sure, I’ve never read it. I know Google’s an
option, but again, lazy.
How could I incorporate the color purple into my Dungeons and Dragons
game? Well… I’ve already done that. A certain little boy’s “invisible friend”
likes to change the colors of the PCs at random. I’ve actually worked up a
chart for it :D
And, now for shits and giggles, I’m going to try an experiment. Which
of my players read my blog?
The little boy in the game is Jacob. He’s an orphan, his mother and father
killed by slavers when they attacked his home town. Jacob’s invisible friend is
known as The Childlike Goddess (like The Childlike Empress from The Neverending Story). She is a greater
deity with 20 divine ranks. She has 60HD (hit dice) worth of outsider “levels”
(not actually levels, but there’s no better way to describe them) and she has
62 class levels covering the Barbarian, Wizard, Sorcerer, and Wilder classes.
She was born a dragon (half celestial gold) and is older than almost any other
dragon, though she chooses to remain in the guise of an 8 year old elven girl
when she needs to be seen, and a wyrmling (youngest type of dragon) when she
needs to fight. Though, most of the time she prefers to stay invisible and
incorporeal.
And, unlike the topic of the post, her favorite color is pink.
With that, you kids have a fun day. I’m going to sleep through it.

Yes, this post was written almost a week ago… I’m not proud of that. I’ve
had a hiccup in life over the last half a week or so, and I don’t know where it
came from. Part of it, was me instituting my F*** it Friday policy, the rest
was a blur. It might have to do with me landing on my ribs pretty hard core,
and feeling like crap after all that. And, how that pain has grown over the
last week until it’s some great monster I’m afraid of. I’m going to go and get
it looked at this week. And, hopefully it won’t be bad news.
Also, hopefully, I’ll be able to get back on track. Back to my walking.
Back to my writing. Blogging. Goalling. And, yeah, you probably get the
picture.
I’m dusting myself off this week, and trying to get back into the game.
I hope you’ll ride along to see the result.
And, one other thing, I’ve been posting my first novel here on the
blog, Raising Kain: Diseased God, and I was wondering what you all thought of
that. The first five chapters have posted already (links below) and I wanted to
know if you liked them… Basically, I’m asking if I should post the rest of the
story, or if it’s better off left in a hidden file folder on my computer?
