I hope you guys can figure it out.

In my mind, the third one's basically cancelled. And yes, that's one where I would have trouble taking a backseat on it, and I would get waaay too technical. So it's probably better that we leave it alone. I still loved the idea, however. :-)

Alright, I'll try and go for a reasonable goal of one post per month, and then try and improve from there. I know that sounds incredibly modest and borderline lazy, but I'm still working on that technique of changing one's habits by setting goals that seem easy and then gradually adding more bit by bit instead of setting oneself up for failure.

The Rebel Vampire

Yeah, when I recommended you guys to each other, I didn't take into account the fact that you both have slightly dominant writing personalities. All I saw was "Epic writer + epic writer = 2*epic story!" So, sorry about that. :-)

Speaking of slow stories, do you still want to continue our other one? I know it's my turn, and I've been shirking it really badly... Unfortunately, I can't guarantee I'll start posting faster, so I understand if you would rather formally end it. If you want to continue, I will make more of an effort instead of all but ignoring it, though.

I survived... sort of. Still have that Thermodynamics test on Friday, homework in the same class due tomorrow... Oh, and I'm moving into my new apt on the same day. Plus, usual Technical Writing homework due Sunday night and a major lab report due Monday.

And you're currently second on my list, because I need to get a post out to Jiskastya for our second RP before the forum we use "graveyards" our story.

The Rebel Vampire

That sounds... distracting. :-D Thanks for the encouragement. I hope you enjoy your evening! I am going to try and stop replying now... because being friendly with my online friends is more fun than work, and I've wasted 15 mins now.

The Rebel Vampire

Well, I found out that the Thermo homework isn't due until Wednesday. So yay! Have to do the pre-lab tomorrow because I don't have the software (long story, most of it not my fault). And I've caught up on sleep. So that means, make pot of coffee and spend the rest of the gorram night studying for this test. And then buy a case of mountain dew, and do the same thing tomorrow night. Come on life... we got this... FUCK YEAH....

The Rebel Vampire

Well, trust me when I tell you that I'd MUCH rather be RPing with you. Everything is just very difficult right now. It would become easier if I could just drop a class, but given the hassle it took for me to get into these classes to begin with, that's not really an option.

The Rebel Vampire

As far as why I didn't do this yesterday... most of the day was taken up by doing my Technical Writing homework for the week.

Any chance you know about Thermodynamics? :-P

The Rebel Vampire

Major test Tuesday on a course I came into late, (Circuit Analysis II) so I'm basically needing to learn all of it. Reason I haven't started is due to working on other courses.

Also, trying to do my Thermo homework, due tomorrow, and basically beating my head against a brick wall, but I'm going to try that a little longer because I don't have a choice.

Plus, I have a pre-lab due tomorrow, but that's going to be getting done in the lab tomorrow as I don't currently have access to the software I need to do the lab.

Oh, and i'm supposed to take care of my grandad for a few hours today.

So ... any time spent not doing the last three things should be spent doing the first thing, because I will have zero time to study until about 8pm tomorrow. I could probably squeeze in a reply on a break, except we are talking about a 700+ word reply. I have to continue the conversation with Orion and then I wanted to get Erik's first diary entry in before Alexi got home...

So yeah. Probably not. Earliest I can do it is Wednesday, and even that's iffy because I'm moving into an apartment this week and I have a Thermo test on this material Friday.

I'll try and work on it in parts when I can make myself relax for the next few days. The stress is not conducive to writing.

The Rebel Vampire

Lots of aspects to deal with... Damnit, I'll probably have forgotten half of it by the time we actually get there in the RP.

What could I have possibly started to touch with THAT comment? Lol.

The Rebel Vampire

I kind of figured that Alexi would order him to do it. That will be a fascinating scene to play out. I do think it's going to take a lot longer than a few days for Joseph to truly overcome the psychological aspects of it, though, to figure out how to live as a free man. I think in my mind, more of it is in his head now than you're thinking. But that's ok.

In the more immediate future... the only way I can see for Erik to truly remove the "poison" from the bond with Alexi is to actually approach his own demons. I'm not entirely sure if I want to play that out, however.
