That’s what the computer’s running on, and I’m hoping to write this post before it conks out – once it does, I’m not switching it back on. I’m going upstairs, having a shower, getting ready for work and then if there’s time… maybe come back on the computer.
It seems at the moment that apart from work, the Screen is all that is my life. Unusually so, but the reasoning behind it is I’m trying to make a new site – theangryroleplay.proboards.com. It’s a site for me, but also my best friend (Canadian, DeNiro) because that was how our friendship bloomed. Through this roleplay, based on Michelle Paver’s Chronicles of Ancient Darkness. After 5 years, several arguments, late nights, blurred eyes, two real-life meetings and a whole bunch of drama, the roleplay is still going strong. Even more than that, it’s supposed to be reaching its climax, its most dangerous, darkest time, and we hardly write anymore. It really upsets me, actually, but DeNiro says it’s probably because our friendship has waned too.
It’s true, it has. We don’t talk as much, and I guess it’s just because our lives are getting in the way – in a way that they never used to, back when we were kids and things were easy. Childhood’s over, but we’re trying to carry on a story that began in childhood, just holding on with the tips of our fingernails.
We’ll get there. I know we will, because hopefully now that I’ve determined we’re going to Skype more and talk more, write letters and be back to the easy conversation that we once had – plus the fact that I’ve given the RP a re-vamp by introducing the new site which includes all characters, the other books, and such, we will get back on track and the RP will be finished.
