.o68 x creative scramble
28/5/07 00:12Ugh, my brain is exploding. I love Gears of War so much lately, but today's the first time I realized just how much world there is beyond the game that I didn't even know about. There's this huge story. And I really want to roleplay again. Zelda or Kingdom Hearts or Gears of War or His Dark Materials or... I have to watch/read/play almost anything I roleplay at least twice, so not Pirates, but I've seen tons of Pirates roleplays ongoing.
But I know that roleplaying = bad for me. I want to make something of my own. But I get that enormous helpless feeling. Like... how could I create something that grand?
The thing is, it isn't as complicated as I make it seem. It's not as if they detail the exact history of Sera in the Gears of War extra story thinger. They give just enough to really get your imagination going, and your own mind gives it the shape and depth. It's fun being able to connect things in your head, imagine other things that could fit into such a world. I've always loved working between the lines of a story to roleplay or write fanfiction. Leaving gaps for that sort of play makes a reader's imagination happy.
So maybe I try to over detail everything. I'm thinking about going back to the 100 challenges I issued myself but never finished and picking up on them again for a while. Because attempting to start Names hasn't been working for me. =(
But first a little bit of my actual life. I graduated Friday. Danny couldn't make it, but I saw him that night, stayed at his house. We saw Pirates 3 Saturday morning. It was great, of course... Jack was even crazier, and god knows I love Jack. I loved the ending even though it made me sad. It was a great ending, just... well, sad, like I said.
Saturday afternoon our parents met. It went well enough, pretty unremarkable.
I had a good weekend. Any weekend with Danny is good. Saturday, early as shit, my family's going to Florida and I won't see him for two weeks, and it'll be fine but I'll miss him like freaking crazy. I'm not really looking forward to it, though I do need to get my license.
I guess that's it. Meh. Except I love him more and more all the time.
