I used to write a lot.  And I do mean, A LOT.  By the time I was 14, my close friend and I had written a 200+ page novel together, and weren't finished with it.  Never did, actually finish it, now that I think about it...

Anyways, the point is, I have an interest in things like character and plot line development.  WELL, I was browsing around on deviantart, and I found a chart to help balance a character's personality.  I was intrigued.  You can see what it looks like here, if you should so choose.  This got me to thinking, because in my many writing escapades in the past, I have often based characters off of myself, and other people in my life.  Was that a valid approach, I wondered.  Am I a balanced character?

.....Needless to say, I felt compelled to fill one out, reflecting my current life.

You can click on it to see the fullsize view.  =)

 As you can see, the only "Character" in my life right now that is perfectly balanced is my dog.  Sophie is apparently the main character in my life.  I guess that makes her the Hero.

The other three secondary main characters are myself, Little Brother, and Roomie.   I would guess that Little Brother must be the villain.  Here's why:

This, unfortunately, means that I must be the damsel in distress.  But I guess that's the story of my life!  I'm just the helpless bystander, while my dinosaur/dog and Little Brother battle it out for my attentions.  Or something like that.  At least the Damsel in Distress always gets a pretty dress. =)  Plus they have long silky hair!

As the last secondary main character, Roomie must be the Hero's sidekick.  I'm not really sure how this works....Maybe he provides toys for Sophie.  She does love it when he kicks her tennis balls around the house.... I dunno.

And then the last two, Sister and Fiance (Tyler), are NOT main characters.  I guess this means that they have to be the evil henchmen.... Yeah, that must be it.  Tyler lured me in with his charming, good looks, and Sister ambushed me with some sort of net or something.  Then together they dragged me off into the sunset, to deliver me to Evil Little Brother.  Yeah.  They're definitely the evil henchmen.

 

Yeah..... It's kind of depressing now that I think about it.....  I think I'm going to pretend that I never followed this train of thought this far.  I can totally be the main character in my life....  I mean....just look at Princess Peach!  She's moved out of the Damsel in Distress role, and into the Heroine role.  At least...she has in one or two games..... =/

That's not so bad, right?

What about all of you?  Where do you think you fall in the scheme of your lives?  Are you the hero?  The sidekick? The villain?

But be careful...this is a train of thought that could be potentially damaging to your self-esteem! lol!

10 Things I Didn't Want to Know About Men, but Learned Anyways

I have always related better to men than I do to women. Don't get me wrong, I don't have a problem with other women. They have their own place. Their great for gabbing, watching girl movies with, painting nails, and planning weddings. But.....generally, I am not too terribly interested in being friends with very many girls. I have female friends, and trust me, the ones I have are more than enough!

The result of those opinions, is that I find myself being friends with a lot of guys. In fact, I LIVE with all boys. I share my home with my brother, Stephen. I also share my home with a guy named Kyle. I share my room with my Fiancé. I am constantly surrounded by men. Men are funny creatures. There are some things about them that I've learned as a result of long term association and shared spaces of habitation that I sincerely wish I didn't know. Seriously, men can be very disgusting sometimes. They can also be very surprising. They have strange habits. They have strange interests. They have strange interpretations of things that seem obvious to my female mind.

So here is my list of things that I didn't want to know about men, but learned anyways.

1. When men are hairy, they are REALLY hairy.



2. Cleaning the dishes after I cook means they'll do the dishes when the sink and counters are beyond overflowing.



3. Working screens (television, computer, laptop, portable gaming systems) invariably turn men into zombies.



4. Showers are only necessary when their girlfriend will no longer sit next to them because of the smell.



5. "Grown Up" decor includes mismatched bedding with a camouflage comforter, and posters of naked women.



6. No bed is ever long enough. Their feet will always hang over the edge.



7. For some reason, extra bottles of various types of soap in the shower stall can send them into a raging tantrum.



8. Men secretly enjoy your girlie reality tv shows.

9. Clothes are "clean" if they pass the smell test, and aren't too obviously stained... Actually, sometimes they're clean even if they reek, and they're covered with ketchup stains.

10. It's time to shave when small critters attempt to nest in their beards. This usually occurs about 7 days AFTER their girlfriends stop kissing them or stroking their faces because they're pokey.

....And that's it. No more drawings, because I am lazy, and tired of drawing men.
