Cerulean Raven's Notebook

Maybe it's time to start fresh. Take down my old portfolio and start building a new one that fits the new me. It's exciting. (and I don't want to be tied down by my embarrassing past)

I vaguely remember leaving this site because someone got pissed off about a critical review I gave that I put a lot of time and effort into. They just threw it back in my face like they hadn't been asking for reviews. I foolishly assumed that people posting on this site are looking for reviews, and would in fact be ecstatic that someone took notice of their writing. I deleted the review, sent the person the points that were auto-rewarded for it, sent an extremely mature, and polite email apologizing for trying to help, and blocked them from sending me messages. Even so, it was such a negative experience that I didn't want to come back. It's been so long that I shouldn't even feel angry about this anymore.

A tree falls in a forest...

I've been thinking a lot lately about silent screaming. There's something incredibly sad about having to smother the agony. It makes the heroes in books tragic. They don't break under torture because their minds, if not their bodies, are superhuman. The silent scream says, "I can bear this at least one moment more."

Let's do something crazy and beautiful. Let your writing be a silent scream, a tree falling in a forest, and WE will be around to hear it. Let's Escape.

My family is amazing. We stayed up all night Christmas Eve playing Settlers of Catan, a strategy board game. Role-play is optional.

Hi, Creed. Long time no see! Didn't you before said that you wanted to borrow Lilianna for a while? I'm just curious how your character will meet her, whether she is following you at the moment or not. (The last thing I know, she isn't there when your character talks to the old lady.) Because, if not, I'll put Lilianna together with Wilfred in the next post, and after that we can plan something to separate her from WIlfred. Sorry, but I need to know her location before adding the next post.

I recently performed in my first jazz improv. It was the first time that I have been able to completely lose myself in music. I don't remember anything between the first and last notes of my solo. I just remember my friends on the back row standing and clapping for me when I finished.
I also remember that they all refused to join me on stage to play, even though they had promised to come with me. >:O

First of all, welcome to Escape! I'l really psyched about the new people joining. I hope you enjoy yourself and jump into the game as soon as possible (or when it feels right).

Secondly, after skimming your biography, you appear to be someone I would really like to get to know. I have yet to meet anyone besides my brother who has even heard of Ranger's Apprentice. Also, I like your taste in music. ;D

I look forward to whatever adventures may come our way!

After looking through the profiles, I realized that I have accidentally made the youngest character in the group. I wonder how will this affect the story?

When I make decisions, I find myself saying "I think" instead of "I feel" because I want people to take my opinion more seriously. Am I fighting my natural personality?
