I missed a post yesterday and I feel a little guilty. So I'll definitely post twice today. I've already got my other post mostly written because it was done in my Public Speaking. I hate that class so much it hurts. But eh. It happens. I don't think this post will be quite as long as the other but this one should have a little bit of background info.
I used to role-play a lot back in "the day." It was how I made friends, enemies, lovers, and more. I had two characters: Lea and Carmen. Carmen never really got off the ground with people (she was a little too cold for people's enjoyment.) Lea, however, was everyone's sweetheart. I can count the number of times she cursed in character on one hand. It seemed like everyone enjoy talking to her and she was even married. But like most sweet optimistic people, a lot of guys just used her. And I agreed to most of the things they suggested because I thought it might "move the plot along." So Lea was pushed out of a window while pregnant, pissed on by the man she was married to after he shocked her into unconsciousness, and gave up her first born child because he "didn't want to deal with it."
There was one good friend of mine, Redd as she will always be remembered, who helped me actually develop Lea's character without abuse. She played a whole slew of Yu-Gi-Oh characters, her favorites being Marik and the Evil Bakura. Lea had developed a bit of an attraction to Touzoku (her Evil Bakura) and he was... happy to indulge her. Many times he would just disappear for long stretches of time (she liked to keep her characters along a single timeline so she wouldn't have to keep up with multiple wives and husbands and such) so Lea was very often left alone.
I guess I just sort of miss those days when I could pull out a character and create something. The longing for something really hit me today in class and I wrote a little more about it than I probably should. Will more than likely post it all later.
