Travian
My latest time sink has been Travian, an online strategy/war game. It's played with many thousands of people around the world, most are enemies, and some can be allies. I have villages on three servers (gulp). The best part about the game is that you get to balance growing your villages and military with the political intrigue of alliances, spies and treachery. If you'd like to join me, sign up for server 3 in the NW quadrant. My alias is "Ransom". I'm also on server 7 as jholiday, naturally.
I would love to meet other players, especially if you're a good player in a top alliance.. Drop me a message here or in the game :)
For those of you not already in the know, go to www.travian.us

Simile, and the whole world similes with you
I've been so busy with school lately that my beloved blog has been neglected. I'm upset by this because I adore blogging, and honestly if I could list things that, in 2008, made me happier than anything else, blogging would be near the top!!
I've been writing a lot too, and I've finally finished my first short story. I'm so proud of it that I'm going to submit it for publication in a few literary journals and magazines! This is a big deal for jholiday because getting published has always been something I've wanted to achieve. To be a published writer.... (for full effect, read published with a dreamy, far off look in your eyes).
I also plan on putting it online so that I can share it with all of you, but I'd like to copyright it first (yes, I'm paranoid). Expect my opus "Touchstone Cove" in a few days!
