I do not necessarily watch movies. I think it's been about 4 years now.

I usually stick to anime.

I would take the rice, fully cooked already, and toss it into the pan to heat up. After that, I would beat some eggs and pour it in. While cooking the eggs, I'd scramble them up while in it, then add salt.

Remember to cool your rice first. This is more to Intel because he asked but cool your rice or it'll get pretty sticky real fast. You probably meant that with heating it in the pan again but I just want to stress it and spell it out.

Yep. I usually make all my rice before hand, and let it sit in the fridge. I'll be damned if I have to make more of it every morning.

So "forcing" a personality probably isn't going to hurt you at all, just give you a topic to talk about.

Duly noted.

I did tons of personality work because that was the thing you did back in the day. While I can definitely see some of that in Roswell, how he actually ended up was a really big surprise. Like, maybe I can still slap some of the same traits I used on him now, but they're used very differently from what I had in mind. He also is very different now than he was when he just got vocal, so time has done a lot to shape him, too.

Same with form really, it's quite simple to just change if the tulpa wants to. Nothing is locked down just because you do it and who knows, working on a form might be the best way to see if deviations do happen.

Buuuuut narration is always a thing. Personality or form work might be a nice thing to do now and then, though. Give you something else to do to break out of your routine for shits and giggles.

I had already figured something like that might happen as well. I was merely planning on not doing anything specific until I got some idea to at least play around with. I figured I'd either get a bit of inspiration or an idea that would just seem out of nowhere. In either case, I'll get there when I get there.

Okay, so I can finally start working on this.

A little background, however. Like many others, I came across the concept of a tulpa through one CreepyPasta entry mentioned by a friend. At first, I thought nothing of it. Artificial thought-form given sentience? Read into it before. However, and I don't remember the exact chain of events, but something happened, and I came to the old site. I'm not exactly one for coincidences, so I continued to look into it. I read around for a few days, read about 6 of the guides or so, and figured the people there were at least somewhat big into it. Then, I joined the chat room, figured it'd be better to talk to some of the people there to get a better idea.

I spent a good several hours in there, over the course of a few days and asked around. Asked a few questions, tried to find some of the logic behind the phenomenon, and found my own rationalization for the process. I disappeared for a few months to think it over, and recently decided to go through with it a couple weeks ago.

With all of that said, I do not necessarily have a plan for this. I do not have a set name, sex, personality, appearance, or any of that decided on right now. I am going with the rationalization that either I will get a feeling for it later on and use that, or I'll simply let it decide on all of that on it's own.

The plan is to be on mostly narrating while doing other things, with more dedicated sessions in the morning and at night before bed. Early to bed, early to rise, gives me plenty of time. (Down with the sun, and up with it too.) Changes in plan will be noted as time progresses.

After some thought, I've come decided to make a few changes to the original plan. These deviations include a more concrete personality, gender, appearance, and so forth. I will, however, be keeping these plans to myself until further notice. I'm aware these are subject to change at whims not my own, but at least I have a place to begin now.

Additionally, I feel it important to note that I may be taking a forced absence from the internet as more bills accumulate over the money we're earning. A loss of internet, as well as possible eviction are likely until further notice.

With that said, I plan on taking some precautions now, which include saving some files, and writing up a sort of diary of events that take place while I'm gone.

My biggest concern with the mainstreaming of the tulpa phenomenon would be the large increase of people using them to escape reality. There really should be a set social competence standard before learning about it.

...many of the characters lacked a certain... personality.

Crassius Curio. All is forgiven. House Hlaalu forever.

I said many. Should have been most. xP We had Fargoth that got picked on a lot and hated the guards for it. Ahnassi which was a monk that stole things but couldn't bring herself to hurt anyone. Crassius... Was Crassius.

Speaking of Hlaalu, some of their quests were fun. There's an earlier one where you're told to kill a competor's Kwama Queen, and if you go to him and talk about it, he'll bribe you to ignore the quest. But if you do it anyway, you pretty much got double favor for doing it anyway. Then you were praised for "understanding how House Hlaalu does business."[/quote] Or the first one where you're asked to put on a helmet and impersonate someone else.

It's a shame that Redoran ended up being the main house to come out on top. I wonder if that was Vivec's doing, as he preferred that House.

Soccer would be mine too. However, I don't watch the game, never cared to watch others play it. I'd have rather played myself.
