[ooc] Holiday semi-hiatus~
To CFUD: So like last year I am a Westerner in a country where Christmas isn't an actual holiday. That's right, it is completely normal for everyone here to work during 'Christmas break' and if it wasn't for the Internet, I'd snap the neck of the next kid who whines about not enough holiday time on my other comms. Or maybe settle for a punch to the face. I'm not picky.
Aside from stressing out over way too many things at once (example: sending money home to Canada requires me to change it to USD first. I am not kidding.), I am also getting summoned by various government-type people to go do happy fun Christmas stuff for them (like mark exams, wth) while planning a last-minute New Year's vacation with the nearest relatives I have (which requires two plane flights that I have yet to book).
I AM. QUITE POSSIBLY. A LITTLE STRESSED.
I'll still pop in for random threads and I have yet to lunge out and bite someone's head off here (like last year). But. Y'know. Just in case I get extremely not-cracky-angry at you.
To the folks at Luceti: I've dropped. There are a number of reasons, but I'm going to go with the format not working for me.
Anita is not a writing/book character - in fact, she has a terrific phobia of books and reading is done under duress. Having characters write their thoughts in a journal and writing back to them isn't something Anita would do.
In addition, I'm used to a main comm and jumping in for a quick dozen-comment thread. The journals on Luceti feel...scattered, with little multiple-character interaction, and the 'formal' way logs are run (third person, more often than not limited to a small number of characters) felt too exclusive for me.
Maybe I'm just too used to having fun through crack humour or something that feels casual. I realized the problem when I joined and asked about this journal system. I tried working with it, but it was my first time and in the end I really don't want to do it any longer.
EDIT: In canon, Anita is a result of a genetic experiment and is deemed a failure because of her hate/fear of books. REFLECTION IN LUCETI, Y/N?
