Eeeks. I have noticed (at least one) typo on my part. In my second last response "periods of times" should read "periods of time." Also, the blog seems to have done something odd to my paragraph structure.
In any case, thank you for the experience crazy_monkey; it was fun!
And yes ClockworkNetcktie, that does describe me to a T. I take it me and you walk in similar shoes? May I ask, what field of specialization has caught your interest?

CD is a baddie 
Reducing a character to a list of dice rolls and modifiers is not role playing*

Comparative literature (mostly Latin American). We get to teach a lot of fun "world literature" type survey classes, which leaks into my roleplaying in weird ways...

Neat! I am a contemporary literature geek myself; I tend to focus on philosophical and cybernetic influences on fiction.
