State of the union, availability, and other stuff.
First off, I already updated my schedule post now that the semester's started. It's subject to change due to flex time and work CRAAAAAZY, but there it is.
Remy
IC: Has just been reminded of how lucky he is to be able to communicate with the rest of camp, so is pretty zen in general. He is finally considering making another serious attempt to fix the Tuesday soup (I figure since the incident in September he's been dabbling but not enough that Megan will notice). He is getting kind of annoyed about people making a big deal out of the talking rat and the amount of times other campers keep pouncing him lately. (I need to pick up that thread, but Gosalyn and Remy should totally start a support group for talking non-humans.) I think his mucking around with toucan revenge will become a full-on prank war between Remy and the toucans pretty soon.
OOC: Yeah, I'm zen with Remy. He's easy to throw into just about anything. I may start timestreambending and have any "let's attack the rat" threads happen at a TOTALLY DIFFERENT TIME than other threads in the same post because coordinating that and cutting off conversations because something's trying to eat him... well, it feels to me like it's not fair to do that to the non-predator.
PLANS:
- FIND A NEW PB SO I CAN TURN HIM HUMAN AGAIN. Seriously, the one I have is just too young. Human!Remy would have to be obviously in his late teens.
- Hey, Gosalyn, let's form a club!
- Remy's own sign post, which I considered doing a while back but didn't manage to block out the time.
- Pimp!rat.
Ro
IC: Camp still sucks. But she's starting to realize that she's been incredibly lucky her first month here since she's been spared from the camp viruses and bodyswitching et al. She's a little more open than she was when she got here, since everybody else is in the same boat, but she's still iffy about discussing some things, primarily "hey yeah I'm from 40 years in the future." Unfortunately, most pop culture references are twice as old as her, and being 16 I don't see Ro being knowledgeable about pop culture from when her parents were kids. So she's trying to just not bring it up, but... it's kind of hard when you don't even know who Charlie Brown is.
OOC: AUGH I AM NOT SUFFICIENTLY SMARTASS. That sums up the bulk of my problems. I love Ro, I think I've got a good handle on her character, but I keep revising her comments ad nauseam because it just doesn't sound right. Canon review does help when I'm slipping on the voice, thankfully, but I personally think I need an injection of smartass. I usually know what to say, but the problem is figuring out how to say it. It also doesn't help that I keep catching myself on pop culture references and go "wait, she wouldn't know about that." Also, I need to make more icons.
Plans:
- Meet more people.
- Actually decide on a camp virus since I don't want her to stay this lucky.
- Sleepover post? If there's truth or dare I am so in.
Me
Hi, my name is _____, and I'm addicted to CFUD.
More seriously, I need to get better at my time management and self-control. I say I'm going to hiatus to get stuff done and then I inevitably break it because OMG I'VE GOT TO THROW SOMEONE IN THERE. And then I get distracted by shinies and two hours later I've got three comments to show for it. Or I wind up staying up til 2 am when I should be at work by 7 or 8 am. Yeah, I have flextime, but the insanity going on at work makes it very likely that there will be emergency 8 am meetings in my future. I've been given some actual responsibility, so... I kind of need to not screw this up.
So if I disappear for a day or two without saying anything, I'm just getting my shit together and didn't feel like spamming the network or CFO with mini-hiatuses. I may be doing that a lot more and thread-dropping without notice to make myself get away from the comm and do what I should be doing for an hour or more. I'll pick up, but I probably won't be warning all and sundry if I disappear. Please, please poke me at mandichaos at gmail dot com if I haven't picked up a thread you want to continue.
ON THAT NOTE: Won't be around tonight. No threading, no IRC, nada. I has a house to start cleaning. Ye gods.
Finally, I'm not doing the sexy poll. Because we all know that even with my drop, Remy would win by a landslide anyway. XD
