The above image is dedicated to the awesome Texans who gave me a lift to Cincinnati and laughed at my stupid jokes. You guys are awesome, and also crazy, for driving for almost a full day just to party. To all of you who didn't give me a lift, I love you anyway. Every single person in attendance was completely awesome. I just wanted to say that it was great to finally meet you guys. Getting swag, playing games, and getting drunk was just icing on the cake. I'm sorry, you'll have to continue to do without pictures from the party for a while because I didn't bring a camera and would forget to take pics even if I had. I'm proud to be part of such an awesome community. Take care, you ridiculous bastards, and know that drinks are on me next time.
DISCLAIMER: I am not actually buying any of you drinks without sexual favors being involved.
I'm going to treat this blog as confirmation that the Texas group got home alright. You guys are troopers for coming all the way out here. Hopefully, the lady and I will be able to return the favor when we get around to a Texas NARP.

about me
Oh, me? I'm just some guy, you know?
Alternatively: I'm a 22-year-old student at the University of Memphis, majoring in Japanese, minoring in Weeaboo, with a certificate in being ridiculously nerdy. Inexplicably, everyone I meet in real life seems surprised that I am a nerd at all. I play just about every genre of games out there, with an especial focus on stultifyingly intricate RPGs and soul-shatteringly hard action games. I listen to a vast array of bands that bring me glee when I hear their sounds, and have a slim chance of overjoying me again when I meet someone else who's heard of them. I take and enjoy philosophy courses. I read obscure English poems. As my handle may indicate, I'm obsessed with Voltaire. I watch a whole lot of anime. I'm developing a penchant for beer snobbery. I'm writing short stories whenever I have time. I am prone to bouts of self-criticism and navel-gazing. I am painfully self-aware. I am, in short, nerdiness personified.
You can usually find me in the IRC. Apparently I'm not one of the cool kids yet, and don't get a spot on the corkboard. I'm sorry you're ashamed of me, IRC.
