Take me where life's sweeter

It's simple, and yet very complicated. I've been roleplaying. I'd let myself forget, because it's been twenty years since I really did any, how all-consuming and addictive it gets. And I didn't know, because we didn't have the Interwebs when I were a lass, how much more compelling it can get when it's happening in real time on IM.

I did know how especially good it can be when you're playing with someone really, really good; but to have all those factors together at once? Better than sex, better than crack, almost as good as the first flush of true love, almost as good as flying hawks. It's terribly, terribly easy to let everything that isn't absolutely essential for my and my pets' continued survival just slide out of my mental field of vision.

We had a talk about this on ...was it Thursday or Friday? I forget. But we have resolved to devote rather less time to it; we were both getting a bit unbalanced.

Not stopping, though. It's too damn good for that.

What's the milieu?

[lizblackdog.livejournal.com]

It actually grew out of my Neopets fixation; but it's rather outgrown that milieu and we're planning to move it on out of there into a wider universe soon.

I've always avoided that sort of thing. I have a hard enough time pretending to be me.

Another question! What's the very first book that you absolutely fell in love with?

Also, quick question - is there a minumum amount that you have to sponsor for? I can manage a small sum, but not anything like as much as last year sadly.

[lizblackdog.livejournal.com]

There's no minimum on the Blogathon end, but some of the charities have a minimum amount, since it's done by donating direct to the charity. To my shame, I have no idea if the PDSA has a minimum.

Thank you XD

I miss roleplaying with effigyvisceral and violent_vincent. Some of that stuff - particularly the Marius/Corpselight scenes - was very intense. Effigy is in Brisbane and Vi is in Toronto though, and with the baby to look after now I'm rarely online on IM now, let alone at the same time as them. :-/

i totally know how enthralling it can be.

I've a feeling you'll still win the "most missed admiral" aware in the TBBS AL. :^)

It's good to see you in any time, Liz. :^)

Better than sex,

You, need a better memory. And more sex.

[lizblackdog.livejournal.com]

My memory's fine :p

No disagreement on the "more sex" count, though.
