wedding day

I am married now.

Olivia's Mom had come early to our house while I was hemming the new pair of pants I bought for the ceremony. I thought I had done a good job. I was proud of the effort.

She offered to iron them. When she saw what i had done, it was horrible you could see the hem from a mile away. She said she would never forgive me. It was like instant lava in my chest. I had thoughts of every girlfriends mom eve. there was no escaping that misery ever but then Olivia told her mom to back off and even lectured her that I was amazing and that she wouldn't tolerate that attitude toward me.

She is my wife now!

It almost didn't happen though.

When me and Olivia filled out our marriage licence we neglected to read everything carefully and skipped a part that said we needed to pick up our licence 24 hours prior to the ceremony.

Today should have been hell, but it wasnt we waited in line and waiting rooms and messed things up and had hundreds of photos taken, all with me looking dumpy and wrinkly, and we laughed and had a great time.

I had a buddy from work standing in line for us and Olivia got stuck in traffic I got off the subway thinking the city hall stop on the R meant THE city hall but of course it wasnt.

Murphy and his god forsaken law were in attendance all day.

But again I wouldn't trade a moment of it.

I am married to a wonderful woman I love her so much and am so happy.

Been drinking most of the day so I am sure this makes no sense.

I needed to write and say how great I feel.

So in the imortal words of Tony the Tiger and 400 words later, "I feel great."

Minotaur Paladin

This morning I painted miniatures and asked a potential DM to allow me to be a Minataur paladin. My wife CC'd me on the e-mail and under the excitement of him allowing her to be a Elf Bard he asked if I would want to a Ranger Archer.

No sir I would not want to be a Ranger Archer.

That sounds horrible.

He does not know my opinion.

I have yet to e-mail him.

He lives in Inwood.

That's an hour by subway from Park Slope.

I like playing a paladin when I "roll"play, I don't know why. If I explored the concept it may bring up my upbringing as a catholic. Or maybe internally I am a raging conservative who believes no rule shall ever be broken.

I break rules all the time. Or maybe break is to strong of a term. I bend rules all the time. I like to find work arounds.

Like being a 400 pound 7 foot tall Minotaur paladin, fuck maybe being a 400 pound 7 foot tall Minotaur ranger archer would be cool to but I think he bow might break when I hit people with it.
