Still a bit fried.

[kiya]

Spent the day completely fried (after I got up again). I'm capable of being at least vaguely functional on various forms of interrupted sleep, but this wasn't one of them.

Got a call from the clinic a little after the installers left to set up an appointment with me for followup on the kidney thing. For tomorrow, which is nice; I'd been meaning to set up an appointment for a while but I wouldn't have gotten one that soon anyway, I'll bet. Didn't get around to it because of the usual phonephobia.

Played a lot of Wizardry 8. It's worth noting that for a while I've been shouting "Attack of the killer Rikers!" at intermittent bits at the gang on Overland, because that's what the marauding thugs look like, really. Finally, I asked oneironaut how to take a screenshot, and with gtst and annwyd's help (and a minor assist from lstone) I produced the image here. See? It's a rampaging killer Riker!

In other miscellaneous notes, I had Altair's Child take front when I was talking to brooksmoses last night. Which was quite odd, because AC never takes front, ever. At least not for more than fleeting moments. She's really in a supporting role most of the time. It was very interesting to have her out and independent for a wee bit; I've got a better handle on her as an entity now, at least. Maybe she'll come out more if I ask.

Heh. I remember those guys. Never made the connection to Riker, but I can see it now that you mention.

I played that game so much one time, that I dreamed it. I was running around some dream world with the portraits on either side of my field of view, and a scrolling commentary down below. Was weird.

lilairen, are you multiple?

Median/midcontinuum. I'm a hydra. :)

I have ABSOLUTELY no idea what that means!
But, will do some digging/research when I get home and recover from my current bout of research.

Good thoughts to you,

The Layman's Guide has a little bit about it, though the Guide is more written with people who are more plural than I in mind. Pavilion has this essay on the history of the terminology. I can't find the essay on the Vickis' site (linked from both of those) that got me started on processing myself as what netdancer called 'singtuple'.

The short answer is: it depends on how you look at it. There are thirteen of me, yes; however, we're all me, rather than fully distinct individuals, so no.

This is an essay I wrote about my internal structures and processing modes in response to a Pavilion essay solicitation. (Pavilion is a multiplicity-awareness and activism group.)
