stupid girl, i should've known, i should've known
Awesomely, I just wasted like an hour playing The Oregon Trail (version 1.2, according to the "about the Oregon Trail" menu thing. There's real graphics. It's somewhat disconcerting). I started from Independence, Missouri, in April with Naomi (a banker) leading a team consisting of Daniel, Charlotte, Miles, and Frank. (Why yes, I am, in fact, a dork.) First Daniel got sick and died, then Miles died of cholera, then Frank got sick and died, but the girls arrived in Willamette Valley, Oregon, in December in good health.
I am more amused by this than is probably logical. I think next time I play I'll do Jack leading Gwen, Owen, Tosh, and Ianto. Or maybe the Doctor, Barbara, Ian, Susan, and...uh...fill in who the fifth member of their party should be, if you please. Vicki? Vicki never traveled with Susan but I could lie like a lying thing. The Doctor, Donna, Martha, Jack, Sarah Jane, and Mickey. Ned, Chuck, Emerson, Olive, and Alfredo. Tommy, Jimmy, Jenny, Kevin, and Sean. Harry, Murphy, Thomas, Ramirez, and Molly. Seriously, I could totally make up wagon teams from most if not all of my fandoms!
There was a secret on fandomsecrets about the secret-poster wanting to make Facebook profiles for hir original characters. And...now I kind of want to do that. I barely even use my own Facebook profile, wtf. And I probably wouldn't do anything with them once I'd made them. But still. *flails a bit* It's a very weird urge which I will try to sublimate.
I wish I wasn't such a rubbish role player, though. Because I remember I used to enjoy role playing, and I'd actually really like to get back into it -- my original characters or my fandom characters, I'm not picky -- but I seem to have lost the knack. I've tried a couple times with LJ-based role plays and I just...I fail. It's very sad. I envy you guys who are such awesome RPers.
