Number three tube away!

[robinbloke]

I feel the need to write, but don't have anything to braindump, well not to say that I don't have anything in my brain - although this is possibly disputable - but more to say I'm not in the frame of mind to actually just wholesale download to text a chunk of rambling burble that vaguely identifies as language. Hmmm. So I'm just rambling instead, which probably isn't that much different, but certainly more coherent at least. But hey, it's kept you distracted for a few seconds, a few seconds of entertainment or getaway from the world around you as I mercilessly suck you into this stream of words that flicker from my keyboard like... like... a word flickering keyboard thing. Hmm. Maybe I use too many similes, I know I use them a lot; maybe I should set myself a quota or some kind of limit and format every piece of text I write. Counting off nouns, verbs and other important factors in my prose and then adjusting it to the criteria that I've set myself. But then that would be artificial, true I'll go back and tweak things I've written, but that's usually for repetition (one of my personal bugbears) or if I think of something that 'sounds' better, although I don't speak out loud when I read I do try and (usually) flick over anything I've written and edit/change the odd word or three to make them somewhat more readable; the exception to this being braindumps, which are so malformed and chaotic theres a) little point and b) editing would destroy the whole point of them anyway.
But then this is sort of a rambling brain dump anyway, perhaps more just a jumping list of thoughts that came to me as I started writing, which as I think I previously noted, sometimes I just have to do.
And you get to be inflicted with it all, lucky you - I'd get a doctors appointment if I were you...

Comments

Have you tried?

[k-lioness.livejournal.com]

Have you tried fiction when you feel the need to write but have nothing specific to write about? I usually start with, "Once upon a time," "It was a dark and stormy night," or even "A long long time ago in a galaxy far far away..." Usually something just rolls on after that. Never makes much sense (there was one with a young girl sitting in a tree eating steak until a bird came and stole it from her) but it sure does feel good. (I think there's only one in my back LJ, but I think it's worth reading.)

Re: Have you tried?

[robinbloke.livejournal.com]

Ah, a fine idea indeed; thank you!

Oh, sidetracking utterly, which base are you at again? As I've been contacted by a US Cammie thats moving to Lakenheath soon and is interested in local games; I wondered if you'd mind if I quoted yourselves as local friendly faces?

Re: Have you tried?

[k-lioness.livejournal.com]

We're at Mildenhall, but it's less than 10 min to drive to Lakenheath. Please refer this person to us, especially as we're considering opening a chapter in this area once we've moved house and found enough people.

On an even more off-topic note, if you're still looking for marching cadences for Fox, go rent the movie Full Metal Jacket... there are a lot in there, some of which you could use straight out, some of which you might have to modify a little (unless Fox thinks he's on his way to Vietman).

Re: Have you tried?

[robinbloke.livejournal.com]

Certainly :)

I'll CC you in the reply to her :)

Re: More off-topic

[robinbloke.livejournal.com]

Squiffy idea, thank you!

Fox is actually convinced he is in Vietnam... well, one of his personalities is... He hit 15 personas at the Changeling National, thankfully some of them are dead now...

Re: Have you tried?

[k-lioness.livejournal.com]

Thank you, make sure to use my AOL address. I'll get more details and see if there's anything I can do to help.

*Ping*

[karohemd.livejournal.com]

Sorry, couldn't resist.

Re: Have you tried?

[robinbloke.livejournal.com]

Oh pooties, I used your hotmail one :(

Re: Have you tried?

[k-lioness.livejournal.com]

That just means I'll have to go out to hotmail to check it... no biggie. I usually save my hotmail for lists and things instead of personal e-mails. That way I can only check it when I'm in the mood for sorting through a bunch of lists (but I'll make an exception for you this time), and it keeps my AOL mail clean for personal messages.

Re: More off-topic

[k-lioness.livejournal.com]

In that case, I strongly reccommend the movie... it definitely explains a thing or two about Fox...

My, my....

[phoenix-tat.livejournal.com]

Do I need to start keeping an eye on you two? :)

hehehehe

Re: More off-topic

[karohemd.livejournal.com]

Has he named his plasma rifle yet? You know, Soldier's Bride and all that...

Re: More off-topic

[robinbloke.livejournal.com]

He hasn't actually... hmmm, hadn't thought of that...

Re: My, my....

[robinbloke.livejournal.com]

*hides a bunch of roses behind his back* Nooo! Not at all! ahem...

Or maybe we're just simulataneously bored and noone else was online ;)

Re: My, my....

[k-lioness.livejournal.com]

Please excuse me while I blush and try to look innocent at the same time...

Re: My, my....

[phoenix-tat.livejournal.com]

Hey now...no giving roses to my wife withouth my prior written permission. ;)

You slut. :) (Robin...not my wife.)

Re: More off-topic

[k-lioness.livejournal.com]

How about Vixen?

Re: My, my....

[k-lioness.livejournal.com]

It's a good thing you clarified that. I imagine it would be quite chilly sleeping on the couch... ;-)

Re: My, my....

[phoenix-tat.livejournal.com]

I would NEVER make you sleep on the couch, sweetie...you know that. :)

*run away....run away*

Re: More off-topic

[karohemd.livejournal.com]

Hm, I think it'll be Not-Not-Not-Not-Fox or something.
Then again, it is supposed to be his bride and I don't think Fox is gay, at least not Full Metal Pooka.
Hang on, if one of his personalities has a girlfriend and another is gay and has a boyfriend, this could get interesting ;o)

Re: My, my....

[robinbloke.livejournal.com]

Slut, moi?

Re: *Ping*

[robinbloke.livejournal.com]

That was thankfully one of the ones that died; after the both sides beat it up because it was so damn annoying.

Re: My, my....

[phoenix-tat.livejournal.com]

Yes...and I happen to think you're rather proud of it, too. :)

Re: My, my....

[robinbloke.livejournal.com]

And you haven't even met my Toreador character... oh dear.

Re: My, my....

[phoenix-tat.livejournal.com]

Oh...I wasn't talking about characters, I was talking about the player. :)

My Goodness

[k-lioness.livejournal.com]

Well now. This is a side of you we haven't seen much of, Robin. Perhaps we could see a little more? Just (ahem) to get a better idea who we're dealing with.

Re: My Goodness

[robinbloke.livejournal.com]

Erm, I'm not, nono, honestly. I'm more the shy retiring type.

Unless I'm playing my Toreador (hence the other comment) who is a total tart, and based on the premise that some Toreadors just shouldn't have ever been embraced (seduction 5, speciality brunettes, performance 5, speciality "Lurve", more social traits for seduction than you can shake a.... stick, yeah, stick at...)

Robin
Pure as driven snow (Tm)

She might buy that...

[phoenix-tat.livejournal.com]

but I think you're just trying to hide the inner slut you've been carrying around deep inside of you. :)

[prettybabygirl8.livejournal.com]

I only know two of you, but I have to say you really lost me on some of those comments!! And how is it that my two friends always seems to attract you very different people?!

Back to the blurb you wrote....interesting way to chat about next to nothing...I bet you got great grades in English!

[robinbloke.livejournal.com]

Sadly not so, my English only ever developed once I started roleplaying online and there I had the sudden desire to construct quality pieces of prose.
So RP is good for something after all.

The lengths people will go to in order to do well in RPing!
