Randomness
May. 8th, 2009 10:28 pmEeep! And I'm neglecting my dragons. Does anybody who cares want to click on them so I don't kill them off again? :)
So...I'm still being a twit on Twitter with this The Stand thing. If you don't want to follow all of us-- there are a lot of characters-- you can follow the feed here. I got yet another direct message from a reader today pretty much saying wow you guys are good and asking how we were doing it. He wanted to know if we were sending emails to one another off-line (aka back channeling) or if we lived close and knew one another. I told him that we didn't know one another and we've sent maybe two or three direct messages, but most of it was improvised. We take our cues from the other players. Personally, I don't think it's as hard as what it looks. You read the relevant parts of the novel, try to get a sense of what that character is like, and then you attempt to react how they would react. It's also easy to bullshit in 140 characters or less. And even then, I'm not always taking things seriously. I've thrown in a bunch of song references, Buffy references, Ghostbusters quotes, and even a Dollhouse reference just for giggles. (Too bad I couldn't work in a Star Wars one on Monday, huh?) One tweet that a few people seemed to like was, "Am I crazy? Am I dreamin'? Am I marrying a demon? We could really raise the beam in makin' marriage a hell...." For those of you unfamiliar with the story, Nadine Cross eventually ends up shacking up with the Anti-Christ, and let's just say that things don't turn out so hot for her. I was listening to the Buffy musical on the way to the grocery store and thought, "Oh my God! I can totally use this and it will be very very silly."
Other than that, not much has been going on. I got a ton of work done today because this weekend is going to be pretty busy.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
doomsey and I are going to see a play tomorrow, and we're spending Sunday at my folk's house. Today, I also took doomsey's car in for an oil change, and waited around for the plumber to come and do the last inspection of the sewer line.
Hmm...one of these days I need to figure out what plants I'm putting in my garden, and get them in there. Maybe Monday? I thinkforestdruid has some tomato plants he was planning to give us too.
