Yeah, I'm egocentric. Shut up.



New Rant: Why VtM is so cool. To those of you who don't know, VtM is Vampire:the Masquerade. This is called a LARP, or a Live-Action Role Play. Better than Dungeons and Dragons, better than online, LARP involves dressing up in costume of choice, getting a character sheet, and joining your local enclave of One World By Night. OWBN is an international VtM game. Yup. There's crazies all over the world who do this!

Yeah, so every Sunday night, I go to game and get to be a vampire or a ghoul, depending on what character I'm playing. ( Glossary and Details) Okay, go on and read about me. If you want to check out more about VtM, go to Columbus in Darkness, my chapter of OWBN.

Now, about me. First, to quote Cyndi Lauper, "Who is that girl? And why is she so unusual?" Here's where I tell you. So I'll stop stalling and get to the point.

  1. Who the hell are you?
    My name is Stephanie.
  2. Then why are you "Jo Risu"?
    As to the Jo, that's my middle name. For the Risu, we wander over to my Japanese-English dictionary and see that "Risu" translates into "Squirrel". Then, out of curiousity, we look up "Jo". What is this? "Jo" means "Girl"? So... "Jo Risu" is "Squirrely Girl"? ... Huh.
  3. What dimension spawned you?
    My planet, well, I think it's called Earth... don't know about dimension, though.
  4. Be more specific.
    I was born in northern Spain, and have lived in Kentucky, Venezuela, and am a current resident of the Great Buckeye State.
  5. Hey, aren't the Buckeyes the National Championship team?
    Shut up. I hate American football. Give me REAL football any day. Grr.
  6. And how long ago were you spawned?
    Enough with the spawn-ing, it makes me think indecent things about Spike and Nibblet... who should never, NEVER breed, by the way. Um, I was born two decades ago.
  7. How do you occupy yourself?
    Most of the year, with college, writing, because I'm an English major. Around the edges, I tend to write. And read. And write. And play Vampire: The Masquerade, because it's FRIGGIN' AWESOME.
  8. How do you provide yourself with sustenance?
    My current job involves making phone calls and typing row after row after row of little numbers into a spreadsheet. Got to love data entry.
  9. Why is this a lot less funny than it should have been?
    It's a curse.
  10. Why do you use those weird languages in your fic?
    In a few fics, I use Spanish. I consider myself a NATIVE FLUENT SPEAKER by accident of birth. I also speak fluent French, look for evidence in the eventually-to-be-updated saga, "Twinned Weapons".
  11. When did this become a shameless plug for fic?
    When my brain melted to mush and goo-ed out my ears... what was the question?

  12. Can you go away now? I want to read.
    Be my guest.
