I got a telephone call from Philadelphia last night, from one of the best friends I have that I've not met in person.

Among the things we talked about was Raven. "I've never seen a picture of her," quoth Ms Philadelphia.

"Nor will you any time soon," I said, "Raven is pretty strict

hello from Philadelphia

Yes I am home! It was good to hear your near-sandpapery voice on the other end of the line before going to bed. And I have yet to read your 1-19 entries. Why are you using Dreamwidth? and why can't people without dreamwidth accounts see your entries? Should I get a dreamwidth account? Inquires the Mz Philly.

'Sandpapery', eh? I blame your phone and/or the lousy connectivity on your end; half the time I had to work out what you were saying based on context! Anyway, I'm glad you're home and (I presume) at least reasonably well.

As for the Dreamwidth entries, they are all available here, so you don't need to read them there, even the friends-locked ones. Still, you might want to look into getting one (I think I sent you an invite code ages ago, but you never used it). I believe they're a non-profit enterprise and they're selling themselves as believing in freedom of speech first and foremost. If it matters to you, many and possibly most of the people behind it, including the techs, seem to be women, as well.

I think I still have that code if you're interested.

I took it as meaning that sometimes characters are interesting in particular combinations. So I might prefer writing scenes where Aisha and Boris interact, because they have such a complicated relationship, over writing scenes where Clarissa and Darshika interact. Everyone else took it to mean "do you like writing fighting scenes or fucking scenes?"

*Sigh* I hate being part of dumb old 'everyone else'

You're probably right. I wish I'd posted first thing in the morning so I could claim that sleep was still clogging up my brain, but unfortunately that would require a pretty major lie.

I think there is something to be said for differences in relationships. I think what matters is whether or not those differences are complementary or compound bad personality traits/problems. I'm convinced one of the reasons my husband and I work so well is because we each have positive traits that balance the other's negative ones.

Vive la difference!

I think and hope that you're right. And with Raven and I, so far so good; I've never spent so much concentrated time for so long (not even close!) with a partner before and we are somehow still not boring one another.
