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
Riddle Sideways: like, who is this?
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
Riddle Sideways: is tiring
Adams Rubble: :)
Riddle Sideways: to be Flipping through these Changes
Adams Rubble: yes, will the performance be good enough
--BELL--
Riddle Sideways: dum da dum da Dumb
