camwynI'm going to bed soon. I'm not even going to finish my scenes that I'm currently in, I don't think. I'm tired - I'm beyond tired, I'm exhausted. Know the difference?
Tired means I stay up as late as I need to in order to finish scenes.
Exhausted means I stare for ten minutes at the last two player posts in the VicMage play-by-email I'm running (contact me if you want in, or if you just want to watch out of morbid curiosity) and only realise at the end of that time that I have no fecking idea what to post in reply.
The condition will go away once I've slept, but right now I don't dare post. Mucking up the plot because I"m tired would be bad, and mucking up the carefully created atmosphere of an audience with the ruler of an alternate world's Chinese empire because I can't type three words without thinking 'wow, I'm tired' would be even worse. YOu're not really a hardcore gamer until you've punched through 'do without sleep for game's sake' and gone into 'if I don't sleep it will ruin the game - never mind me, the game, man, think of the game!'.
As I said in the subject line... mguuuuh.
