It used to get lucid a lot, I used to have fun. Then I mucked things up a bit. Note to people out there that when you make a persistent world out of your dreams, it goes both ways. Nightmares will follow you into those Elysium plains and beyond just as surely as you can avoid their warrens.
I was somehow able to make what I called my jump-gems back then. These were shiny gems of different colors I kept in a little brown leather satchel. Looking through one will take you to the dream it holds. Well, that was all fine and super nifty, but what I didn't realize I was doing was breaking the subconscious barriers between dreams and ripping open a wide reeking hole into the abyss.
Well I say every night it's more like 8 times out of 10.
The enjoyable dreams I get now are pretty surreal. Like the one where pictures taken from my life are set to one tone of color with some strange music playing in the background. Just a long slideshow of my life through the spectrum haunted by music I don't know.
Edit: The references page is all I need to finish and this afternoon is nothing but PTA read time!

Sometimes, but I don't worry about it. It's the good kind of crazy if its true. I mean, it gives me a lot of stories that I can work into fun things like D&D and such.
But really, crazy people are far gone, totally detached. I'm still white-knuckle tethered to low-earth orbit.
I've got this drug cocktail of robitussin, nyquil, dayquil, throat losange, sprite and monster sloshing around in my stomach and it's making things incredibly interesting today at work
In other news, I'm almost done with the Skill list for [100%] some major changes coming down the pipe, all of which should end up turning out pretty nicely. The (Power) Trait Mod is gone, and you can just take magical Skills once again. The way Skills perform is slightly tweaked, and Trait values are going to be altered.
The current plan Re: The Beta Test is to continue until [100%] is in what amount to its release form, which should be another week or so. Then, when the Beta Test finishes, we will jump back into RADlands with a big update/recap, at which point those who have not finished their Loyalty missions will get a choice as to which ending they would've gone with, and we will begin the next section of the RADlands (Book 2, Chapter 2, to be specific).
For those of you still not in the Beta, you may jump in at any time if you'd like as reinforcements to either team. Those joining Alpha Team will be members of the first team sent into the block, who were largely killed off/driven insane, and those who join the Omega Team will be arriving as the secondary team sent to infiltrate the base from its northern face.
Loyalty missions would have been nice, but I guess the group has just grown way too big. I liked in Space Gloss that each character seemed to get something personalized in the missions, but it seems a little tough to reproduce since there are nearly double the characters. Oh well

lucid dreams are the best btw
you know, when they're not filled with crippling terror
I get some fucked up dreams on the occasions that I do fall asleep
So many different iced teas, sodas, energy drinks, organic, all-natural, juices, etc. don't have to drink the same thing twice.
Some of em are terrible, some of em are awesome. I've grown to like the Red Bull Soda they have, still tastes like shit but at least it's a more earthy, herb garden type horrible then the regular caustic, chemical-tasting horrible.

Every night is nightmares now.

Just totally wrong.

Rane, I do not have your AIM, and that is a crying shame.
Also: Having a heck of a time trying to figure out RADlands-specific Trait Mod effects that aren't already covered by the pre-existing mods.

I feel rotten today, and, for once, only about 55% of it is loneliness.
Maybe I should go get some caffeine.

It's weird that I've been wanting oranges. I pretty much hate them most of the time.
Maybe I have scurvy.
not a lime starburst, though
you'll just die of scurvy
just drop dead, right on the spot

The lemonade one is still best, though there's an organic one in a black and gold can that I'm liking a fair bit.
Which is weird, 'cause I really dislike strawberries and most other strawberry-flavored things.
you know that stuff isn't even tea, right?
its a concoction of artificial flavors that TASTES like tea
and besides, its so easy to make your own why would you buy it premade goddamn
