Hermetic Physics

Had a nice "Small World" moment yesterday.

I woke up to find jackalsmischief pouring over the Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning site again (we've been keeping an eye on the game for quite some time now), and he was excited because he found some nice artwork done by one of the spotlighted gamers on the Women of WAR page. I took a quick look and mentioned that I know of someone in San Fransisco that had been involved in making some cool Witch-hunter gear. i.e. lilibat.
He got all animated and shot back that he just read her interview on Women of WAR. A pretty minor incident, true. But it's still feels strange when two normally unrelated people cross paths in my Universe.
In any case, an interesting conversation ensued where I had to explain how I *really* didn't know her and I had only found her on LJ because I was surfing one day last year and found a pretty woman with blue hair. And then I realized that fate *really* meant for ~me~ to escape to San Fransisco but apparently chose her instead. Fate and I had a disagreement. As usual, I ranted and Fate just ignored me. Fate really is a bastard sometimes.

I can see why Fate was confused though, seeing as though lilibat are both gamer-goth-geeks born about the same time in about the same part of the country and had almost identical childhoods.
Except she has the before-mentioned blue hair.
And she is actually using her art skills instead of squandering them making gaming maps.
And she is actually using her interest in Game Design to, well, DESIGN GAMES.
And she actually has a goth scene that is active.
And she doesn't have to drive 100 miles to attend a club if she wants to dance.
And I think she's more into computer games than into pen&paper ones.
And she doesn't live in the cesspit-that-is-the-bible-belt anymore.
Did I mention that she's in SF and I'm not? That's really important.

Okay, fine. We're really not that much alike.

She doesn't teach Mutants how to properly take over the world (granted, some get more attention than others). Or have 'bella. Or get her life sucked out by The Freak every couple months.

There. Just trying to prove that no one is beyond scrutiny. Even the great lilibat-who-gets-interviewed-and-I-don't. ;-P

Now I just have to figure out how to get littlebella1980, thecloris, and strange_venus onto the Women of WAR site as well. Although it would help if I could all of them interested in WAR first, yes? Hmmm.

I can really see strange_venus playing Chaos. Or rather, I can't really see her playing anything but Chaos.

Grr.

There. I feel better.
