Spark.
As I read my friend's page on my LJ, I'm starting to empathize with most of them. SOme of it I don't want to get into right now, because I'm typing this from work, and it's still about 40 minutes before I go in. One problem is content, the other is that that isn't nearly enough time. ;)
Though, with theninjakitten, I can totally sympathize. I have that one app I need to really get done soon, or else Iceraver and Gamerguy are going to get way ticked at me. Besides, I need to do it. I'm only playing one character now. One. So, that means if I'm not RPing him (which I should do more because he's a great character), I'm basically doing nothing. I haven't been a 'one character RPer' since way back when I started MUSHing at all. I need a little variety, I admit. There's a few places out there, I know. Just need to know what/who I want to be. Any non-WoD suggestions/invitations would be most welcome *ahemahemHINTahemahem*
Ok, so I was reading one of the EZboards, and a thread about players on another MU*, which foomf has been posting to, as well. I lurk, don't post, don't want to draw attention as usual. But they brought up something about a group of players whose lives were basically their characters. This is not something I want to be, and something I do try to avoid. I like my character/characters, and some aspects of their personalities are things I wish I had the guts to do/be RL, but I kinda think that's different. Am I wrong in this assumption?
Personal theory: Every character we make, no matter who it is, carries a part of us when we RP them. Even if its the parts we don't readily admit or want to admit to having.
As foomf said to me before in an earlier post, it is a healthy way to deal with those feelings. And I agree. Though, I do avoid playing types of characters that would make me uncomfortable, but that's a matter of personal preference. No biggie.
As for work...there's the library, with open computers around. That's where I am now. On the table behind me are a few jigsaw puzzles. Someone else (I dunno who) opened one up a few weeks ago, starting it. On my lunch hour, I'd come here, check e-mail, and start helping out with said puzzle. Yesterday was fun, since we had gotten a lot of it done, and I just started fitting pieces together like mad. I finished it, and I was happy that I could...finish something, you know? I'm half-tempted to open up one of the other puzzles and start, but I might wait to see if someone else begins another. Not sure yet.
Also happy with myself that I'm posting. Even if it's not all deep thoughts, I'm still keeping concictent with posting, relatively, and not forgetting about this.

I thought that was the point
We all have our own versions on the Ideal, and we all have our own self image. Most gamers go with "Hey, I don't need to follow their laws" and break things, but once you hit the point of saying "hey, I can make this aspect of me, and supplement it with this and this, and hey, I can even use a knife... etc." You get a VERY different world.
I like that one MORE. I know, I'm a minority.
