unavoidedcrisisI was out far too late doing far too many silly things of the role playing variety last night, as is customary when my spirits are low.
I sometimes think I am better at being someone else than I am at being be. My silly games take me away from me temporarily (or as away as my character allows. Sometimes they are very much like me) and it is lighthearted fun. And it usually turns racy, which is shameful to admit.
It was decided last night, however, after reviewing some of my principle characters, that I have a type. Yes, a type. This, I think, more than anything else, shamed me. Even when I am pretending to be someone else, it's all vaguely the same person. But it's alright because all of the people I roleplay with have the same exact problem. Sure, we're predictable, but it's consistent.
In other, more pressing but no more boring and whiny, news: my keyboard has a magic button on it somewhere that whenever I hit it while typing, it changes my keyboard set up and makes all my punctuation go pear-shaped. Problem here is I don't know which button it is and it's immensely frustrating. Because I hit it all the time! Then I have to close whatever program I'm working in and reopen it. This will drive me literally insane during nano, I think.

Click on that, and choose "English". Your keyboard is attempting to turn your punctuation to French punctuation.
Also, I believe it happens when you hit "CTRL" and other keys, instead of "Shift" and other keys, while capitalizing. That's when it happens to me. Drives me nuts.
