Congrats on the achievement, Ducky!
The line between the character and myself is a fine one indeed. I have asked myself that very question, and I believe that the balance I've found is a good one. As far as this account goes, I think that the purely in character moments are blatant enough to be obvious, and the out of character ones, like this, are all of my own emotions and opinions, just lacking a few of the 'lols' and emotes to go alongside it. That, and I'm a touch more vulgar outside of the forums. If we're getting into the fine details of it all, there are some differences in the likes and dislikes, and in those cases, I follow my own, even when they go against the character's, because this is my main, and it's how I choose to present myself. I think, if I were to play with her a little more, you would see that there's a drastic difference between the balance I maintain here, and how things are when I'm fully in character only on my mule.
Ahh, I see... The usage and punctuation doesn't escape me as much as the words themselves. I can stumble over trying to remember a simple word that I've used thousands of times before and had no trouble with. Like, I can feel it's there in my head, I just can't grab it. It gets... irritating, to say the least. And gets worse when I'm more stressed, and being unable to express myself properly to relieve it starts a rather vicious cycle.
I'd be happy to buy from you. I'm not sure about price though... I suppose they would be around 5k or so? It's really not anything I'm worried about, though, so if you'd rather save them for yourself or someone else, it's quite alright.
I fully agree with the scar thing. Even some that are very, very hard to bear... They may always be painful, but with enough time, they're a beautiful reminder of the strength you possess. And, whether that strength was wanted in the first place or not, it's truly a remarkable thing to have.
Most of my drinking is done at home... Honestly, I rarely do it with others around, and almost never when I'm, well, not in a bad place at the time. It's a weakness that I'm keeping a careful eye on, lest it become a real issue.
Aha. Causes of death are an interesting thing to think on, when related to an entire chain of events. It's... sad, perhaps, but I stand by the belief that as far as sleep goes, the lack of it will never kill a person.
Speaking of achievements, I already got that one when setting up a certain thread... -grins-
