Lord of the Pickup Lines

OK, I caved.

I lasted little more than a month without playing an online game. Tonight I signed up for the 30 day trial of Lord of the Rings Online. I didn’t want to do it at first because there is neither a “priest” or “wizard” class in the game – those are the roles I’m most inclined to play. I went with the minstrel class, because I can heal and buff up my fellows.

Anyway, on my first hour or so of playing, guess what uber-geek “character” I ran into?

wil wheaton? is that you?

I’m guessing this is an incarnation of TV’s Wil Wheaton of Stand by Me, ST:TNG, blogging, poker, and literary fame! (dorklaugh!)

Way cool.

Not much longer after that, I was asked if I was a “Real Girl.” Although the number of female gamers is on the rise, people on these online games have a hard time believing that real girls exist in lands where hobbits roam.

Once I convinced this Casanova that I was real, I received the best pick up line of my life:

baring children is illegal on the internet

I smudged the name to protect the poor soul. I’m probably old enough to be his mother, anyway.

Anyway, if you’re on the Nimrodel server, give Dinahwyn the minstrel a holler!

Hello!

About Me

I've been blogging for over twenty (2 decades! 2-0!) years and I'm apparently one of the few over-50 female bloggers who haven't sold out to THE MAN yet; hence this blog remains quirky, homespun, and unprofitable. No big. However, if you're from Disney, Doritos, or Dave Matthews Band, I'm open to talk about selling out.

I live in Southern New Jersey with my husband WM, and our dog Murphy. I'm an adult who likes Disney but not a Disney Adult. I used to work a fun (really!) office job in Philadelphia, but since March of 2020 I'm a work from home hermit. So if you're looking for a childless, slightly round, marginally boring GenX woman's blog to follow, you've come to the right place! :)
