Seduction
Posted by Keiri on January 27th, 2005 filed in UncategorizedIt appears I have seduced a new reader completely out of nowhere. The frightening thing is she
appears to be a law student as well as an immortal on a mud. Um.. wow… creepy.
Sooo… this prompts me for some stupid reason to tell you all about myself at 3:45 in the morning. Damn Fernando for making me work until 9 pm, now I’m wide awake!
Anyway…
I’m almost 28, a lawyer *yay* and working in a mediation firm. I own/run/operate a MUD as well. I will not link the mediation firm because I’m happy my boss does not read this page, although i love him as a close personal friend, we all need somewhere to vent.
I went to Loyola Law School and American University undergrad in Washington DC. I moved out here the day after graduation to be with my then-boyfriend, my now-husband. We had been dating for eons before that, many years…
I’m originally from Long Island, New York, and frankly I’d probably still be there if I hadn’t got this crazy idea to get the hell away from my insane family. I did, and now we get along much better, and I miss them a great deal. I have two cats, I love to cook and I love to play video games. Lots.. and lots.. and lots.. of video games.
More to come…

It’s not really creepy
Okay, maybe a little! If you go to your personal profile and click the ‘mudding’ link under your intrests, you’re listed, she’s listed, I’m listed, a bunch of other people are listed.
On a side note, I’ve been reading on my epilepsy forums that a lot of people are denied the first time they apply for disability and then they go get a lawyer to represent them and they end up winning.
What happens if I’m denied? I can’t afford a lawyer! *frets*

Yes, but it is somewhat creepy to discover someone else the same age, in the legal profession (an area known for a certain desire to stick to nonfiction and real life and stereotypically only adequate at computer literacy) who also muds (a creative form of escapism, antithetical to most attorneys). Creepy, yet cool.
Just so you know – tit for tat – I’m the same age, just starting law school (took me a while) at Widener in Wilmington, DE, and I work in a title company. I recently took the position of top dog… I mean god… on a MUD that I’ve played on since I started college 10 long years ago (along with the poor man I’m adulterating with. So it’s not a real word. Sue me. Err… wait!) I currently live in PA right on the DE border, although I work just outside of Philadelphia (which is why I whine about my commuting all the time.) And like you, I love to cook, love to play games, love movies. I have a dog who thinks she’s a cat although my boyfriend has cats. I think we finally came to the conclusion we’re both animal lovers, period. Just no big smelly shedding icky dogs. (Like my roommate’s.)
I’m incredibly jealous, I’ve always loved CA and I’m likewise impressed. That’s one of the hardest bars to pass. But I’d miss not being able to complain about the snow. I mean, complaining about the smog just doesn’t seem the same.

Complain about the imaginary snow. That gives you a history you can reference as evidence to an insanity plea (read “get out of jail free card”) should the occasion ever present itself.
Kiri, I know all about that feeling closer to the family from far away. Once I decided to move here, I got really close to my family, especially my father. A few months before leaving, it started: parents as more than those guys that made me do my homework years ago. As my parents are divorced, I didn’t know my father very well. Now, he and I talk almost like good friends. I guess there is truth to the phrase “you don’t know what you have until you’ve lost it.” …or in this case, distanced yourself from it.
