When I left work today, I took a different route home, as the sun happens to shine directly in my eyes when I drive my normal way home. I decided that one close call was enough for one day. I think I might leave earlier tomorrow morning so I will miss the stupid sun.

I drive a Del Sol and they are quite low to the ground. If I had hit that truck, my car would have gone up under it. Ouch.

The Lord of the Rings movie is out today. I won't be seeing it tonight or anytime soon from the way money is looking right now. Kal's the only person I know who's going to see it this soon.

I have spoken to people at work about the movie and it's amazing how many have never heard of the books or even had a clue that the movie was being filmed. I find that to be very sad. I started reading the books when I was 9 or 10. My son is reading The Hobbit now, and he's 8 years old. What is with people? I tried explaining what a hobbit was to someone today and they couldn't even grasp the concept of elves, halflings, and other fantasy races. Same thing goes for another friend. I was discussing a book I was currently reading at the time and he couldn't even understand who Drizzt was.

It's sad that the only people I have ever met that even come close to liking the exact things I do happen to be online. People I'd never get to play D&D or any other roleplaying games with or even meet in person. I had friends that roleplayed before I got married, but now they'd rather stick a needle full of heroin in their arm than do anything fun. The roleplayers that I know in person now are friends of my husband and I really don't want to spend any time with them. Two are okay, but still, they aren't *my* friends and to play D&D with them, I'd have to also play the game with the person I married. I'm definitely not doing *that* again. I learned to avoid gaming with him a long time ago. He's fine with his friends, but he's a total jerk towards me.
