    The Guardian for this meeting was Adams Rubble. The comments are by Adams Rubble.

     

    Riddle was ex[periencing cyber lag and I arrived with brain lag

    Adams Rubble: Good morning Riddle :)
    Riddle Sideways: good very laggy Morning, Adams
    Adams Rubble: ohhh
    Adams Rubble: maybe it will get better
    Riddle Sideways: yes, hope so,
    Riddle Sideways: some what like feeling a sneeze coming on
    Adams Rubble: ohh, it may be a long slow one

    Two Days Ago Riddle had brought up Role Playing and I had been thinking about SL since then

    Adams Rubble: last Tuesday's session made me thing lots about where I have been and the such
    Riddle Sideways: yes
    --BELL--
    Riddle Sideways: and ?
    Adams Rubble: no conclusions, just thinking
    Adams Rubble: sometiems we need role playing to see ourselves better
    Adams Rubble: sometimes we need role playing to help is do something difficult
    Riddle Sideways: from practicing the clarinet for the upcoming performance
    Riddle Sideways: to dreaming of speaking to the cabinet meeting
    Riddle Sideways: (with no clothes on)
    Riddle Sideways: the mind playing little vignettes
    Riddle Sideways: what would you do if you ran the Railroad
    Adams Rubble: :)
    Adams Rubble: ride the trains more
    Riddle Sideways: many dreams (day or night) contain elements of possible tomorrow scenarios
    Riddle Sideways: what to say to the boss
    Riddle Sideways: funny, don't write those dreams down as much
    Riddle Sideways: thinking those are not the Real Dreams
    Riddle Sideways: just some RP to past the time
    Riddle Sideways: Admittedly, have not done much RP in SL
    Adams Rubble is still on the train to Kansas City
    Riddle Sideways: however, have read long dialogues from good players
    Riddle Sideways: that go on with how they are feeling about the situation
    Riddle Sideways: feelings, reactions, effects of e.g. the other persons shirt colour
    --BELL--
    Riddle Sideways: listening to the gentle birds in the background, he takes a deep breath, knowing that the last few comments have gone toooo far. wondering at the silence, the awkward silence. Decides and asks "How is the weather there?". Immediately wanting to pull the words back
    Riddle Sideways: So, the RP can be good for us. most times
    Adams Rubble: weather is sunny; does not see any words tp pull back
    Adams Rubble: we begin to lay roles when society tells us how we are supposed to act based on gender, race, etc
    Adams Rubble: play not lay
    Adams Rubble got up early and did some tasks and errands that were pressing; now eyes are very sleepy
    Riddle Sideways: Being dressed in a costume, what appropriate Play shoule this Role do?
    Riddle Sideways: nap time
    Riddle Sideways: the reward for 'up early' and 'got tasks done' is a break
    Adams Rubble: costume sometimes indicates play time
    Riddle Sideways: how seldom there is no costume on

    My first Costume change was a Roman Toga

    Riddle Sideways: probably can not see our own selves without the default costume
    Riddle Sideways: ah, Adams switches costume
    Adams Rubble: Ubi Sunt salvete. Salvete Romanae Romani

    There was a long pause here and I changed into Medieval gear and quoted some Chaucer. This wasn't makling a whole lot of sense.

    Adams Rubble: The lyf so short, the craft so long to lerne.
    --BELL--
    Riddle Sideways: so few learn the craft
    Adams Rubble: Ful wys is he that kan himselve knowe.
    Adams Rubble: If no love is, O God, what fele I so? And if love is, what thing and which is he? If love be good, from whennes cometh my woo? If it be wikke, a wonder thynketh me
    Adams Rubble: what am I?
    Adams Rubble has stopped the discussion
    Riddle Sideways: so good to have books of quotable lines nearby
    Riddle Sideways: a friend that in early days of email, had a shakespeare database to random append a quote to signiture line
    Riddle Sideways: always was a thought stopper
    Riddle Sideways: to wonder, what that quote had to do with the email
    Riddle Sideways: did he pick it? how random was it
    Riddle Sideways: other friends have Bible quote databases
    Riddle Sideways: often in their heads
    Adams Rubble: O, wonder! How many goodly creatures are there here! How beauteous mankind is! O brave new world, That has such people in't!
    Adams Rubble: Often we are recycling ideas we have accumulated along the way from other people
    Adams Rubble: why not their words too :)
    Riddle Sideways: "Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy? Caught in a landslide, No escape from reality."
    Riddle Sideways: In a Dream book, it was read that the mind relaxes and flows down many pathways. Possibly reviewing the strangely almost connected passages
    --BELL--
    Riddle Sideways: spending much time going over all

    I missed Riddle's play with words:

    Riddle Sideways: replaying
    Riddle Sideways: re-Playing
    Riddle Sideways: should have the names of the character costumes you have been cycling through in the log

    Adams Rubble: 1880 hunting outfit
    Adams Rubble: tally-ho
    Riddle Sideways: goin wabbit huntatin
    Riddle Sideways: have spent long years saying/thinking of "The Games People Play"
    Riddle Sideways: good/bad to now sticking in "Just Playing a Role" for a time

    I switched to a dress from the teens and pearls from the twenties

    Riddle Sideways: who is this?
    Riddle Sideways: trying to think of how you do the changes. When Riddle changes, the av goes invisalbe and builds up. or gets nakkid and slowly gets some clothing. Adams is just morphing the dress, hair, shoes
    Adams Rubble watches what goes on and when
    Riddle Sideways: yes, watching the morphs
    Adams Rubble needs some inventory overhaul so that there are hairstyle for different periods
    Adams Rubble: can''t find any 1920s hair
    Riddle Sideways: thought a 'wear' often removed the hair, was bald then put the new on.
    Riddle Sideways: yet, your's are adding some black hair into the brown before the brown removes
    Riddle Sideways: there you go
    Adams Rubble: :)
    Riddle Sideways: flapper
    Adams Rubble: so what did I learn about role playing this session?
    --BELL--
    Riddle Sideways: RIGHT! needed to have learned it All
    Riddle Sideways: what did you learn?
    Riddle Sideways: is it the costume chages?
    Adams Rubble did not stay long enough in costume to build a role
    Adams Rubble: it is not the costume that role playing makes
    Adams Rubble: it is what is in the head
    Riddle Sideways: is it the Attitude that comes through lightly playing a Role
    Riddle Sideways: yes
    Adams Rubble: WHAT role are we playing today?
    Riddle Sideways: so many
    Riddle Sideways: a typist, soggy, sleepy, (angry, happy) with a cat in face). in a SL.
    Riddle Sideways: an energy ball shifting through thoughts
    Adams Rubble: :)
    Riddle Sideways: the viewer watches others change before the eyes
    Riddle Sideways: the inventory searcher remembering each
    Riddle Sideways: today was flipping through the changes
    Adams Rubble: that sounds like it could be a song "Flippng through Changes"
    Riddle Sideways: so many songs like that already
    Adams Rubble: ohhh :(
    Riddle Sideways: notes the reader singing "Ch Cha Cha Changesss, turn and face the chage, Ch Ch Cha Changes"
    Adams Rubble sings "Only You...can make the change...
    Riddle Sideways: Play our Roles well
    Riddle Sideways: Wear the costume if you must
    Riddle Sideways: trying hard to be the person those others need
    Riddle Sideways: always wondering if the performance is good enough
