Dungeons and Dragons, death and exercise

I took this dorky little test today...

I Am A:
Chaotic Good Human Sorcerer (3rd Level)


Ability Scores:

Strength-12

Dexterity-15

Constitution-14

Intelligence-15

Wisdom-17

Charisma-15


Alignment:
Chaotic Good A chaotic good character acts as his conscience directs him with little regard for what others expect of him. He makes his own way, but he's kind and benevolent. He believes in goodness and right but has little use for laws and regulations. He hates it when people try to intimidate others and tell them what to do. He follows his own moral compass, which, although good, may not agree with that of society. Chaotic good is the best alignment you can be because it combines a good heart with a free spirit. However, chaotic good can be a dangerous alignment because it disrupts the order of society and punishes those who do well for themselves.


Race:
Humans are the most adaptable of the common races. Short generations and a penchant for migration and conquest have made them physically diverse as well. Humans are often unorthodox in their dress, sporting unusual hairstyles, fanciful clothes, tattoos, and the like.


Class:
Sorcerers are arcane spellcasters who manipulate magic energy with imagination and talent rather than studious discipline. They have no books, no mentors, no theories just raw power that they direct at will. Sorcerers know fewer spells than wizards do and acquire them more slowly, but they can cast individual spells more often and have no need to prepare their incantations ahead of time. Also unlike wizards, sorcerers cannot specialize in a school of magic. Since sorcerers gain their powers without undergoing the years of rigorous study that wizards go through, they have more time to learn fighting skills and are proficient with simple weapons. Charisma is very important for sorcerers; the higher their value in this ability, the higher the spell level they can cast.

I'd say it's fairly accurate. I don't play D&D often (ever) but I have played Baldur's Gate, which is basically D&D with a storyline. My favorite class was the sorcerer because he could cast one spell like, 6 times a day if he felt like it. The other magical classes could only cast once or twice a day, which was lame.

In other news, my uncle passed away two days ago. I only met him once that I remember, and he was a very kind and generous person. I wrecked my car not far from his home and he drove out at 3:00 AM to pick me up and give me a place to stay until I could get home. At the time he was almost completely blind and he kept driving his car with the help of his wife. All she did was tell him when he was doing something dangerous. He could pretty much tell how he was doing otherwise. Anyway, I guess now that he's dead he has a better grasp of how thankful I am for his generosity. Too late to pay him back. The best I can do now is pay it forward, which I'm sure would do him the honor he deserves.

Now though, I seriously need to start exercising again. I've become so lethargic and inactive that my joints and back are aching and becoming stiff. I've spent enough time scolding myself and getting frustrated at how lazy I've become so now I'm going to simply go for a jog.
