I feel as though I ought to say something -- there are a lot of things I ought to say. There are too many things buzzing round and round in my head just now. (It's an anniversary sort of month. A year ago my mother was in the hospital. When I prod in that direction my emotions are still as thick and numb as they were then. I don't know why I find

I know just what you mean about the dream state. But sometimes in my dreams (when I realize that I am in a dream) I actually try to make bad things happen, because I want to see if I can. So I'll try to make a monster be behind me when I turn around, just to see if I can. And I never can. What's the point in being in a dream if you can't at least have fun and make it scary? :D

The letter game sounds fun, but I'm not sure if I really understand it. XD Wikipedia articles confuse me sometimes. Do you just create characters and have them email/mail back and forth to make a plot?

What's the Evangeline project? -clueless- I've heard you talk about it a few times before. :) I'm guessing it's a creative project? :]

So, you can do things in your dreams? That's fascinating. When I'm dreaming, it's like watching a film -- I'm not aware of being anyone outside of the dream, and I can't think outside of the dream.

Essentially, yes. It's easiest with two players, but some other friends and I have got a four-way game going. One person starts, and their letter sets out the initial rules for the game -- the setting, the date, some initial ideas for how the plot could go. Technically you're not supposed to talk about the plot of the game, or plan anything together -- you should have only as much idea as to what's going on in your co-player's world as your character does, though you can plan as much as you want on your end. Since Alessandra and I live two houses down from each other, we're hand-writing our letters, and there's a hollow tree in front of her house where we put them when we're finished. (In a plastic sandwich bag, usually, because it's been snowing fairly violently most of the week and we don't want the letters to get wet.)

Muahaha... Murry <3 Cassandra!!!

*flees, laughing maniacally and cackling insanely and muttering in her Niska voice*

[faeriemaiden]

NYEH.

Both of them are terrifically offended. And, hey, MARCEL, WOT WOT. ^-^

YAY YAY YAY!!!! Murrandra! Or would that be Curry?

*evil grin*

[faeriemaiden]

OH MY GOSH.

*is dead*

...Now I'll have to stick some weird reference to curry in there, for the fangirls. Like when they have dinner for completely work-related reasons.
