For the first part, many of you know of the Cat-Weasel.
As for the second part, I noticed while I was playing that I was only giving RPXP to my fellow players, and never to my DM, and the DM is the one that does all of the work. So I started to be more conscious about it, and remind others to do so too.
First part is my happy Nzarlingness, but the rest....

It's from "The DM of the Rings" webstrip linked in the sig. I was reading through it and spit kool-aid all over the screen when I read it. It's worth the time to go through the whole thing...Lots of laughs.

Water finds its own level is an old proverb. Maybe chinese because we all know the best proverbs come from the chinese. Mostly it means that somethings in life it's better to let them take their own course. You can try but often it's as futile as trying move water back up river.
And it's a play on my the spell my screenname is based one. Create water belongs to the lowest level of magic.
There is a possibility it refers to the fact that I and my characters will reach the level they were destined to reach even if I don't know what that may be now.
The first part of my signature is in Russian. If you are seeing more than six figures, you're getting a garbled version rather than the actual phrase. Unicode views it properly, but the standard Western does not. It translates roughly as "I don't know."
The second part of my signature is strictly temporary, and is there to let my players/DM know that I am once again connected and posting.
On an only-slightly-related note, "DM of the Rings" is fantastic. Everyone should check it out.

My return to this website, from my brief previous stay. I felt the need to come back anew, and found a new avatar to go along with it. Seeing as i'm known as "mouse" in a fair few websites i decided that would be my avatar, and hey, the Christmas season.

Mine is a quote from a Dragonlance short story. Its sort of an inspirational quote kind of like the "People will come, Ray." soliloquy from Field of Dreams by the amazing James Earl Jones.
had to find the quote, wanna hear it here it goes...
Quote:
* Ray. People will come, Ray. They'll come to Iowa for reasons they can't even fathom. They'll turn up your driveway not knowing for sure why they're doing it. They'll arrive at your door as innocent as children, longing for the past. Of course, we won't mind if you look around, you'll say. It's only $20 per person. They'll pass over the money without even thinking about it: for it is money they have and peace they lack. And they'll walk out to the bleachers; sit in shirtsleeves on a perfect afternoon. They'll find they have reserved seats somewhere along one of the baselines, where they sat when they were children and cheered their heroes. And they'll watch the game and it'll be as if they dipped themselves in magic waters. The memories will be so thick they'll have to brush them away from their faces. People will come Ray. The one constant through all the years, Ray, has been baseball. America has rolled by like an army of steamrollers. It has been erased like a blackboard, rebuilt and erased again. But baseball has marked the time. This field, this game: it's a part of our past, Ray. It reminds of us of all that once was good and it could be again. Oh... people will come Ray. People will most definitely come.

You should see the Zuni narrative poetry book that I drew my inspiration from. That stuff is all over the page but I love reading it. I'm not so good at reading it out loud which is truly how it's supposed to be done. Still, it's good for a change of pace. The spacing is meant to represent an actual long pause while a youngster visits with an elder. Given sig rules, I can't have anymore lines than 4 so I left out some other things that might be found in that narrative style.
