Keeping track of things

[casualOsculator]

It's... um... hard to be in sburb, but I'm pretty sure you all know that, right? Haha, right, yeah.

But, like, I'm still not really sure what I'm doing and it's like I never will sometimes! Anywho, I guess this is a log or, like, a diary or... whatever, it's a journal for the forum. I don't really know how to keep one of these, because, um, it's just never really been my thing, you know? And maybe it shouldn't be my thing right now. Keeping a journal has that silly implication of, like, looking back on things and a Scout sure is a thing I am right now.

I really hate being a scout, by the way, and the Heart thing (like, not just the power but the whole friggin aspect) makes me nervous. I dunno, it's just this whole big deal to some of my, uhhh, gamemates or whatever. Maybe a bad experience with other Hearts?

Ack. I hope they don't, like, start hating on me for something someone else did. I'm me! I wouldn't do anything to them. Well, um, not anything really terrible anyway.

Erm, still on my maturity quests for this session. I've been doing them for, like, weeks, and it'll probably take longer. There's this bad blood between me and quests, actually, so... euck.

This seems kind of pointless. :/ But you know what? It's a chance to, like, talk about all the bullshit stuff that happens to me! And a lot of bullshit stuff happens to me.

So, I guess I'll, er, sign on the next time I can with some more rambling. :)

In my opinion, implementing such a system in order to express your thoughts can have more benefits than the theraputic effect - there is the associated benefit to having a personal source on past events, which I suppose would be of particular utility should malfunctioning time shenanigans take place, and it also provides evidence for players with more experience to evaluate your session and assist by streamlining it with pertinent advice. I'm similarly inexperienced, so I've decided to create an analogous thread for my first-session tribulations.
In terms of advice, to avoid the troublesome consequences of backtracking for someone of your mythological role, might I suggest using this record of events to reevaluate the occurences of your session from the perspective of a co-player, in order to better understand each of them and avoid similar issues in future? Although my experience of the class and aspect is limited to secondhand observation of the Scout of Time in my session, and the presumably thirdhand information provided in the FAQ, it seems like that would play to your role and aspect in a beneficial manner.

Ermmmm... Thanks, LM. You talk a lot! Not that that's, like, a bad thing but wow! Or maybe you just use a lot of big words, cuz I guess my post was longer than yours. Haha. :);; It's good advice though, so, um, thank you. It took me, like, forever to puzzle through though. Hard to believe I was, like, a Mind player once upon a time. It's like I lost all those... erm... lessons of Mind?? when I moved through a few sessions.

But anyway! I should look at it from my gamemates' point of view? Okay, fine! We got in this, um, fight yesterday. It was me and this alien boy, or um maybe girl, I can't tell, but right! He's all like 'the damned heart player's gonna steal our souls!!11!'

I wasn't really happy with that, but, you know, it wasn't a face-to-face fight so I couldn't hit him (er, her?) or anything. And it, like, escalated verbally a lot.

So I guess if I'm gonna 'reevaluate the occurrences' I gotta ask why the alien person with the name I can't, um, spell is chewing me out for something I can't help! But I don't know why! It's been going around and around in my head for awhile and... blugh!

It's probably bad experience or anti scout but I don't wanna move things along and ask her about it! I'm like a terrible scout!! This game is so out to get me!!!

Now I'm in a worse mood than when I started and I'm probably going to die because scouts should try to go forward!!!!! I should just go to sleep... but then I wake up in like magic flying land where they remind me I'm not doing good in maturity!!

Uuugh. :(

Wow, I was kind of being a baby.

Ummmm, so I found out why the alien was all mad at me. It was, like, a mad feelsy session. Turns out his (yeah, his! gender get!) friend got their soul stolen by a heart player one time. Or something like that.

It was like really sad, so I forgave him. And, uh, that's pretty much it. I've got... ummm... seriously nothing left to say.

Later! I got imps to massacre! :D
