*sigh*

so apparently our downstairs neighbors have filed a complaint that we make too much noise. *wail* how? no more late-night tv for me, i guess. and while i'd already gone back to the earphones cause they drown out the kids that have taken up residence in the hallway, i kinda wish i didn't HAVE to wear them. *heavy sigh*

haha!... chess pieces.

so, here goes, even though i know for a fact that i'm forgetting somebody (my mind is a seive & i apologize in advance).

King: SG, of course. patient, powerful.
Queen: me. versatile and quick to react.
Bishops: belfana and Blondie. both hide their natural strengths behind quiet facades, but can move to protect wherever they are needed, even if they get there in a bit of a roundabout manner.
Knights: ford and phthisic. no one's ever quite sure where they're going, but they're always standing right between you & the enemy when you need them to be.
Rooks: lindvior and bigdoggie. staunchly loyal, zealous protectors who are always the first to attack & the last to give up.
Pawns: all the people who've stuck by me, standing between me & disaster. you all deserve to be knighted.
