((Also: "He's very sweet, and very flirtatious, and tells me entertaining stories of getting to throw lovely ladies over his knee and spank them silly.
It's like having an entertaining sexblog who I can give hugs to!"))

I have declared a thing.

Last night's WiWi* of staying up until about two thirty talking to people? Probably -5, as of this morning.

This morning's WiWi of getting out of bed and going to class? As of leaving the really incredibly nice dreams where I was getting cuddles from a fairly wonderful boy, -16, or something. Really now.

That's all. I'll post more on this when I don't have to be doing things.

*Pronounced wee-wee or -weh-weh. "Was it Worth it". It's basically an (arbitrary) score used to decide whether the actions leading up to something were actually worth the end result.

(no subject)

There's an interesting divide between real me and the assorted fictional versions of me, most notably katter!Sor.

One of the ways that divide manifests itself is in the actions of my denizens. It's very very difficult for them to overtly do anything entirely without my knowing, indeed, the only example I can think of from recently is When Alis and Gabe decided to make a new years resolution for me.

However, it's perfectly willing to accept that they can do things outside the realm of k!Sor's knowledge, especially considering that k!Sor lives in Snowtown at the moment, and the denizens live...in...the lounge. Which doesn't really have a place, per se. But they can have conversations and enter into agreements entirely without her knowing.

Which means it's going to quite confuse her when she notices that Gabriel's got the same drawn chain around his wrist as she does. It'll confuse her even more if she ever realizes what it means.

The real question, however, is do the denizens have fictional versions of themselves, that exist in stories, or, by their nature of living only in my head, are they already fictional, and therefore an effect in one story is considered global. Gabriel has certainly drawn confidence from stories and what would be considered more fictional interactions, which has carried over into his real life dealings with me. This most recent bit of drabble, however...Gabe's always been a bit stupid when it comes to his own happiness versus mine, and I really don't know what's going to happen to the real him when his fictional version gives up all hope of happiness for the next month and potentially a half.

Someone remind me to toss out a rough history of the denizens sometime, I would like to read it.

Some notes about things:

Holy shit, I've had Erik running around in the back of my mind for WAY longer than I thought --since Labour day weekend of 2003, I think.

See, for those in the 'know', Erik is my carbon copy male clone, and my drag persona. He's not a denizen or anything, he doesn't live here, he's just who I am when I'm being a boy. But way back in '03, (holy shit, 2003 was five years ago. Whatthehell, whatthehell, whatthehell, where does the time go?!) I played in a weekend-long LARP called 'One Frog to Rule Them All'. It was good fun --standard fantasy and fairy tale bashing-- and I played a female magic user named Gretchen Heese(sp?). Of course, female's weren't allowed to use magic in this game, because it was set in a mysoganistic culture, and so I couldn't have possibly learned the basics of magic as a girl.

So clearly, somewhere in the past, I had to have had dressed up like a boy, in order to learn. During the run of the game, I actually dragged myself back up, in order to try and convince my former mentor that feminism was the way to go. This boy counterpart to Gretchen was named Erik.

The rest, as they say, is history.¹

Apparently 50 comments is the cut off limit on livejournal where they stop listing all the comments out, and start collapsing threads. Good to know.

Also, dear lord, I'm popular or something. You lot are teaching me to never do another meme ever again. Except Swing posted one recently that I kinda want to repost...*sigh*

Speaking of memes, I finally got to the end of this one, which means that all you people who didn't post are going to go do so, just to spite me, aren't you?

..Shit, did I post something along the lines of "I'm crazy and restarting the egoboosts!" a couple of months ago? Fuck, I think I did. Fuck fuck fuck.

Ah well. All for now.

1: Actually, I can't swear that all this is true. I'd need to look at my character sheet and things again, which are all in Maryland. I'll dig them up during Spring Break, I promise. *tosses it into Hiveminder*

Yes, I do post Too Damn Much, thanks for asking.

So, while I've got a little bit more time, I'm going to post about this WiWi idea s'more.

So. "Was It Worth It?" Obviously, the best example of WiWi's is gambling --if you pay a dollar, and get back five dollars, you've got a WiWi score of +4$. If you pay a dollar and lose, you've got a WiWi score of -1$. Simple.

Creating WiWi scores for non-quantifiable things is much harder. Building a picture perfect costume takes up time, money (for supplies) and sanity (Why doesn't the corest work? Whyyyyy?!). Putting all that effort thing may make it seem as though it was a complete waste, and therefore, a negative WiWi score.

However, if you then wear that costume to a dance, and recieve twenty or thirty compliments on the craftsmanship, that would obviously tip the balance. You've now got something you're proud of, that people notice, and that you're incredibly happy to have. The compliments, and the knowledge that you look damn fine, is likely to make the effort completely worth it, and therefore, a postive WiWi score.

You could concievably blend pieces together, to measure more than one thing, as well. For me, going to SCD each week and dancing costs me 4$. However, the sanity boost and the stability of having danced makes spending the money CLEARLY worth it, meaning I could label SCD as WiWi -4$;+10 or something. (I'm declaring right now, because I can, that the symbol for seperating bits of a WiWi as the semi-colon.)

In short, WiWi is meant to arbitrarily measure the effects of any given action, in terms of ultimate gain/loss.

A note on arbitrary: All WiWi scores are measured personally, and you alone decide how much something is worth in the long run. WiWi scores can constantly increase (ie, the WiWi for a blender goes up every time you use the blender), or you can just declare them to be at a set point. I'll work out more how my personal scale looks as I keep using this.

Yeah, that's all. I'm going to go off to class for six hours now, and hopefully stop spamming your flists so much. No promises though. *winks!*
