Back in 2011, I was dating an attractive young woman who told me she didn't play #DnD, but wanted to show me her D&D set. Weirdly, it was the 1977 "Holmes Edition" #BasicDnD set.
"What's weird about that," you ask? Reader, my girlfriend was born in 1981. How does a non-gaming Millennial start her #ttrpg collection with a box four years older than herself?
Did an antique six-sider impress that girl? I'd like to think so, because she married me, and I have the #dice to prove it!
So, Happy #ValentinesDay to all the gamers, grognards, and other geeks reading this. Remember, with five funny dice and one #truelove, you can handle any adventure!
If your partner won’t peel an orange for you, you need to find someone else. That could be the takeaway of a popular and very unscientific test on TikTok. Vox’s Alex Abad-Santos talks to an expert about what this true love litmus test is really all about. Not so surprisingly, “An entire intimate relationship can’t be boiled down to what a partner does or doesn’t do with an orange,” says Alexandra Solomon, a psychologist and author who teaches at Northwestern University and specializes in relationships. https://flip.it/ytgay4 #Culture#TikTok#TrueLove#Relationships
One of the other amazing things about Mozart is that he is born on Lord Mercury's holiday of May 15th. Mercuralia. A feasting holiday where you bless your modes of transportation, and honor Lord Mercury.
Realizing Mercury's holiday is Mozart's birthday just adds to the magic that was his coming home. I knew of Mercuralia, and even though Mercury has been my primary god for decades now, I really don't observe the holiday. It's geared towards merchants after all, and I'm not a merchant. So I didn't put 2 and 2 together till recently.
Still, there's soo much leading up to Mozart's coming. Year of the rabbit saw me fiending for a bunny. As I searched only one option was available to me, he was born on Lord Mercury's holiday, he was born with 2 white toes, marking him as "flawed". Ensuring that he'd be the one the breeder doesn't want. I call them his magic star toes. Everything about this rabbit is magic. He bonded to me extremely fast, which is unheard of for rabbits. As prey animals their trust must be earned. It usually takes 4 to 6 months. He was mine heart and soul day one, so rather uncanny.
I honestly believe he is the reincarnation of my familiar. Who has been, Salem, Waffles, Odin, and Scar. It's that same energy, a deep bond, so pure and genuine. My soulmate unmistakable no matter what his appearance. ❤️
