Divisions and Precisions

Hungover

I am deep in the throes of what I've affectionately come to call "RP hangover". It's the feeling I get after too little sleep, too much caffeine, with my head full of stories from the night before. It often involves dreaming about my characters during the little time I did sleep, moments of lucid dreaming after I get up, and general confusion as to the line between fantasy and reality and sleeping and waking for the first hour or so -- that much, at least, I am past. It's a good feeling. Beats an alcohol hangover any day. The best part, though, is when I get it from writing.

I'm still thinking about all of the things I wrote yesterday, especially in terms of my writing. Still haven't reached a decision about what I'd like to do. But I'm thinking about it, and I'm going to keep thinking about it until I come up with something satisfactory. The web design freak in my head is insisting that a weblog about my writing might be a good way to go. Then again, it might be one more thing that I never update, too. Just writing about this made me go and set one up. La Vie Boheme is up now. Rough, but up.

So this morning when I get to work, Laura and Brand were still up and roleplaying, it only being 5 am California time rather than the 8 am it was here. Since we were all sleep deprived and silly, we started taking tests on Emode. When it comes to sex, I'm Persephone (to which Brand asked, "You fuck the dead?" Heh.). Brand is Eros (which scares me), and Laura is Diana (which scares me still more). Then we started taking the tests for various roleplaying characters. Don't ask. I've done that sort of thing before. One bored afternoon at work I took the Keirsey Temperament Sorter test for all of the characters I was currently playing. The results were interesting, to say the least.

Hey. Remember what I said about that line between fantasy and reality and all. I'm not insane, I just have a lot of characters that live in my head. Sometimes noisily. Posted by Lisa at August 1, 2001 09:37 AM
