Thursday Thirteen Geeky Buttons (#14)

I’m a geek. O.K. I’m a roleplaying geek. Many of my friends are roleplaying geeks. About 15 years ago, we were on this kick where we’d keep track of the really off-the-wall things we said, usually during roleplaying games. Sometimes, the quote was something we overheard somewhere else and repeated because it “sounded” like something we’d say — you know something “geeky cool”. Then if the quotable was worthy enough, I’d have it made into a button at the next sci-fi convention I made it too.

As I was packing to move into my house, I rediscovered my stash of buttons and couldn’t help wandering down memory lane. I’ve picked out thirteen of my favorites to share here and I’ve decided that sometimes they’re funnier without the background story, but feel free to ask — though I’m not entirely sure my memory is up to recalling all of the details of way back in the day.

Thirteen Things about N. Mallory

1. Lately, I’ve been packing a helicopter with my underwear.
2. Thwarting Evil is a good thing!
3. Remember, unless it’s confirmed by God, it’s probably a joke.
4. It’s hard to look innocent when you’re holding a loaded crossbow.
5. Now we have to break in another dwarf!
6. Warning: Amnesiac Gullible Pyrokinetic Pyrophobic Witch
7. Why do I always have to jump out the helicopter?
8. It started with the orange juice…
9. I don’t like being dead. It’s quite annoying.
10. Another common area bites the dust.
11. Be quiet! I’m plotting!
12. Who’s Roleplaying?
13. Which Unreality are we in now?

   Bond, if you have to ask about the helicopters, you aren’t cleared to know.

   OMG, I’m a roleplaying geek too!!! The quotes we have are peppered with cuss words so I really can’t share them, but they are funny.

   Are you a WoW player too? Half of our gamers are into WoW. Hubby and I are working on the other half…

   WoW? Is that one of those online MUDDs? I don’t do very well at computer games.

   Love this list! I say #11 all the time. (I’m always working on a story, you know.) I didn’t know you went to Sci-fi conventions. Hubby and I have gone to a few, too. There hasn’t been a good one in our area in YEARS! You have a very Happy Thursday and thanks for stopping by!

   Great buttons! I used to RP, but not a lot and not in a long long time. I do however, like another commenter it seems, play WoW… which is just fantastic and addictive
