(no subject)

There has been at least one person in every train car I have taken since Friday who has been reading, or at least holding, a copy of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. I bought my copy yesterday, but I'm not reading it yet. I'm not allowed to read it until I finish the latest chapter of "Who Ya Gonna Owl?".

On a side note, yesterday's trip into New York City was quite fun. I met sdelmonte and batyatoon and quite a few other people from milliways_bar whose LJ names elude me, and we spent much of the day pootling around Manhattan. The topic came up of characters we played and how much we were like them, or they like us, and sdelmonte suggested it might not be a bad idea to grow as a roleplayer by trying to play characters that were nothing like us.

I found myself wondering about this, not the least because I've played both Sergeant Preston of the Yukon and John Constantine, who are nothing at all like each other. Those of you who know anything about my roleplaying history: which of my characters, think you, is the most like me? The least? I can find something of myself in just about any of the characters I've played, so I thought I should ask for the opinion of someone outside my own skull.
