[OOC] Chasing the Sky

[Orchestratic]

I'm actually considering a small change... I'm going to base the religion of the moon on Shinto. I'll need to name it something, then keep Buddhism in-game still. I suppose I'll call it Raka, which is a word for full moon in Sanskrit, although that would technically be incorrect because Sanskrit is more toward Buddhism, but I like it. Tsuki, because that's Japanese for moon and that's where Shinto hails from. Rakatsuki... full name for the language... I actually really like that for some reason. In opposition, they would refer to your religion as Ravitaiyo (sun and sun again, Sanskrit and Japanese). Whether you adopt the language or not is totally up to you. :P I had a bird named Ravi... he was my best friend. Named him that 'cause he was bright yellow. His middle name was Apollo, the Greek God of the sun (can't wait to include Greek Mythology religions as well!), and his last name was VanWinkle because it's my mother's maiden name, so all of our pets had that last name. I didn't notice his initials until later, so I decided to call him Ravi Apollo VanWinkle Incorporated so his initials would also spell Ravi. XD Sorry, I certainly talk a lot.

No, please don't apologize. I think that is really interesting! I like to give animals and character names that mean something ^-^ It is could that his name worked in two ways! When I think of Sun and Moon, I think of Greek Mythology or I think of Shine Maidens/Priestesses but I have no idea why lol I am a love of Greek Mythology so I would love to have that in here somewhere! I don't know much about Shinto so this could be really interesting ^-^

[Akayaofthemoon]

Hey, internet is glitching out again so I will post beginning tomorrow. I am going to hope it is better tomorrow but I don't want to lose everything I have so far.

[Orchestratic]

Your internet doing any better/ ^-^

[Akayaofthemoon]

It is finally working today! :3 I had to fight tooth and nail yesterday and never won T.T

[Orchestratic]

I hate that. My router sometimes is just a little bitch, so I have to whip it into shape by either simply resetting it or editing settings. Now I have it set to periodically reset so I don't have to do it myself. xD

[Akayaofthemoon]

-___- I tried that multiple times....hate the router...it is evil and hates me. It knows when I want on most T.T

[Orchestratic]

They do. THey're just like printers. Objects from hell >_>

[Akayaofthemoon]

True very true. My printer always runs out of ink when it is important....

[Orchestratic]

May I ask how close you are to posting? I'm sorry, and I feel bad for asking, but nothing is going on on any of my damn games so I'm like.... bored..... XD

[Akayaofthemoon]

Very close, was able to save before my comp went on the blah >.< sorry it is taking so long.

[Orchestratic]

No no, don't worry Really. I've just not been feeling well. I need to quit bothering you about it. I feel awful today... I'ma see if I can fall asleep early. I'll talk to you tomorrow.<3

[Akayaofthemoon]

You are never a bother! I am so sorry your not feeling well, I wish I could help. Try and get some sleep and I will be here when you get and also a post will be up.

[Orchestratic]

It's not looking like sleep will be coming. My head is a mess right now. I think I forgot to take my mood stabilizers too many times in a row. I can't keep my mind quiet long enough to sleep, or really even to close my eyes. It's like static. Unfortunately everyone who usually helps me like this are all a bit preoccupied sleeping with their sanity. xD Thanks for caring, by the way.

[Akayaofthemoon]

Well I am not asleep lol XD
I am sorry sleep isn't coming easy, I know what that is like. I would set up an alarm or something to remind you of your stabilizers if they are really important. I wouldn't want you to miss too many if it helps you. I know alarms helped me when I needed to take meds everyday or I placed them in a place I had to go to every morning.
As for sleep, tea with honey can help. I know if my mind is restless then sometimes I just force my eyes closed and imagine a story in my mind or show I enjoy and just write it all out in my mind/image it until I drift off and it becomes a dream.

[Orchestratic]

Well I have a ton of pills to take everyday for chemo and cancer related things but sometimes I don't have the motivation, and the past few nights I've had company and I've been working on something nonstop so the thought never came to me. Also, they don't really help me all that much, but I will lose my shit if I miss more than two days in a row, which I did. I'll probably wake up tomorrow morning worse than I am tonight if I manage to sleep, but I might get lucky. Iunno, it's always hard to tell. And nothing tends to actually help me sleep naturally if I'm like this, just kinda like a withdrawal. It probably would if I could focus, but I can't. Besides, I already watch TV when I sleep. I know it's not good for you, but it's something our whole family does, actually, and now we can't help it. If I'm feeling like this it's just a matter of finding exactly what to watch. Something I have already seen but not too recently, something light but not overly funny, smart but not that I'll have to or want to repeatedly consider, something with consistent noise and a non-repetitive musical score, and nothing that I will focus on poking holes into and trying to fix in my head. Normally it can just be anything that makes noise, but I guess having a serotonin imbalance makes me meticulous and twitchy. Even if I find a show, a lot of times it'll have to be certain episodes, or certain parts of a movie. Talking to people works better than TV, but typing to people doesn't tend to work very well unless I'm typing to at least three different people (which is why I've typed so much here) so I'm not waiting for messages. Also, I cling to myself as if wounds are being afflicted because sometimes I feel like they are but most of the time nothing is happening. It's just like my head is filled with static and I need the right things to bounce my thoughts from to keep me from twitching right out of a window or something. ><"

[Akayaofthemoon]

Hmm, I can understand that. One of my friends was that way with TV and couldn't sleep without it so I don't think it is bad for you but at least you have something that helps. I am up all night if that makes you feel a little better then I wouldn't mind keeping you company. I wish I could do more to help but I am kind of bad in the area of sleep since I have never had that problem.

[Orchestratic]

It probably will help a lot, actually, but Idk how long I'll be able to talk. I have these things that should make me tired, but Idk yet. You're really crazy uber sweet, once again.

[Akayaofthemoon]

Well I am here if you need me but if you have something then that is good too ^-^
lol I can't help but be sweet. It is just my nature

[Orchestratic]

I have something that might make me drowsy, if I'm lucky, in high doses. Unfortunately what my body wants is serotonin for balance or narcotics for.... well, what my body assumes is balance. xD And I know it's you're nature; it's the best possible kind of person to be, in my opinion. I'm very glad you are that kind. I'm lucky to have such a fantastic partner to look over me when I go crazy. ^-^
