I lost my original post for this in the pages and pages and I'm too lazy to dig it up. ;)

I am..... Heartbroken and alone in my cold and lonely hall, surrounded by more riches than I can carry. I would give it all up to have my lover back, and I don't know for sure if he's dead or lost - but I am assuming the worst.

I am..... Busy running about my Rangerly duties, pedaling from one end of the region to the other to fetch resources for the Corps. I'm starting to feel a bit lonely though, thoughts of settling somewhere and possibly retiring are starting to grow stronger.

I am..... still travelling the waters in my ship. I've almost made it entirely around the continent, trading along the way. Now I am debating if I want to stockpile food and head off to unknown seas.

I am..... Living out the daily stuggle to keep my little wilderness outpost going and it's few inhabitants alive. My co-leader is away trying to find limestone and I'm a bit worried about his safely... especially as she has growing feelings for him and never said anything before he left.

I am..... quietly going about cleaning up old projects in town. I've travelled a bit and right now I am content to relax and be helpful.

I am..... LEAVING THIS ONE OUT! LOL, too many current events revolving around this charrie.

I am..... gathering coal for my Clan and enjoying the chance to relax. Also hoping to skewer enough sheep to make a nice cloak.

I am..... stocked up on food and roaming away from my home, the desert in in sight and I am curious what I might find.

I am..... young and eager to find my place in the world, I've already found a job and hope to be a Knight one day.

I am..... Wandering about a rough and untamed land, a windfall has provided me with tools and protection.... now I have plans to try and explore the interior of the island.

I am..... cooking away at my new job, and wondering if I might be someplace I'd rather not be.

My updates:


I am... doing pretty much nothing except worrying. So much to worry about, the fate of the island, my husband. I've definatley grown up from starting flour wars.

I am...much quieter than I usually am. No one to talk to here. Well, there are people, but no one to talk to. I'll just sit here, repairing my sabre, watching the ocean.

I am...sitting at a festival contemplating what to say to this Ranger I have a crush on.

(sorry, I only did my main characters this time. I didn't feel like talkin about anyone else.)

Havent updated inahwile

I am.... Repairing one of my sheilds, glad to be back in Pok harbour :twisted: but I have found that two other people have moved in and taken my leading position. I have agreed with it. For now.

I am.... an old man Gladly working on a weapon. He belives it is the only weapon on the island. He is happy that after 25 years the island has finally invented the first bone club.

I am.... In this Forest, Hoping that there will be no more new spawns. Knowing I would be doing much better own my own. But simply just cant bring all of the things she has there.

I am.... A man who is finishing up his 10 bone sheilds, and is an Expert on the Karnon Seaside Hunting Team for the Regional Games.

I could never be bothered to do this before...But:

I am.....Finally reunited with my love after years on the brink of death.

I am.....Enjoying the celebrations, but worried about how much some people sleep.

I am.....Worried about what I may see in the aftermath of tragedy.

I am.....Leaving home again. Always pining for it whilst away, but never enjoying my shorts stays there.

I am.....Jealous and lonely, but trying to perform my duties.

I am.....Wondering what may come of me should events turn sour.

I am.....Joining a new community, after years on my own.

I am.....Trying to save a town, but struggling, and faced with a major decision of the heart.

I am.....Hoping the worst can be avoided, so I can win the heart of the man I have fallen for.

I am chopping away at wood for my community, and in general, very sleepy. I hardly notice anything going on around me, but from time to time I wake up for a little bit and hunt or answer a question. It just seems hard to focus on things now, so sleeping is my answer.

I am getting over the loss of someone I loved for ten years; someone I still love. I pretend to be happy for my best friend's sake, but now all I want is to stay busy. I'll need lots of resources for that. I think one or two people have shown some sort of interest in me, but I'm really not ready for that yet, even though it's been a couple of years.

I am keeping an eye on our small, burgeoning community while the King is gone to check on some local rumours. We've got a lot of wonderful citizens now and things are going quite nicely, if slowly and I believe myself to be content.

I am working hard and still trying to manage my outpost. I still oversleep sometimes, but it's so quiet here. At least things are going well. I should take another short trip sometime soon, maybe the activity will do me good.

I am alone again. However, I have two loyal subjects and they've only gone off to get some things and come back. At least I do hope they shall return. I guess if they don't, it won't hardly phase me, I've been so used to being alone. But I will be sad if at least one doesn't return.

I am.. not sure what the heck I'm doing or who I am anymore. I've never had much use for people, but now I find myself reaching out to make those connections that I once deemed useless. I have just a little ways left to go for my goal, and then maybe I'll look for somewhere to settle down.

I am collecting cotton. We need a lot of it. I am still happily married and have been for 8 1/2 years. The time is passing quickly, and I'm just ready to go back home instead of wandering around getting the things we need for our home.

I am happy, although in a state of inner turmoil. I promised myself that I wouldn't do something again.. and now I'm faced with that decision. I do.. want to give in almost. But at the same time, I'm so afraid. What if it just ends up in death again? I don't think I could handle that again.

I am sleepy and working away inside. I've heard that some nefarious group may have returned to terrorize our homeland again, but I've never known much about them nor their crimes. I don't really want to hear all about it all again. I'll just stay inside and work, when there is work. Maybe I'll go outside again for awhile. I'm really indifferent to just about everything.

I am bitter and angry, perhaps moreso at myself than anything else. The words of Reason recently made me realize this, but I won't listen to Reason. I'd rather target Reason and stamp it out along with all its admonitions. What would my friends think if they knew me now? Would they even recognise me?

I am now one of the leaders, and the oldest, of a forest I came to very long ago with intentions of.. well those are somewhat past. I just recently got a letter I should've had 7 years ago. If I had.. well I'd have known what I wasn't sure of. At any rate, this place will grow and be starkly different than the forest I spawned in. The hawks.. such powerful creatures..

I am at my destination. I'm still pretty quiet and shy, and I sleep more often than not, but it is good to finally see this place that I've heard so much about and which is the basis for all of the region's laws.

I am still incredibly curious and determined to experience everything there is to experience. Although I'm starting to think I might be poison for the opposite sex. I guess I'll find out soon whether it's true or not, but if it is, oh well, I can't be bothered with the past, only the future and what it holds.

I am starving because I ran out of food. I had lots of food, but then I kept finding places that don't have food. I think I took an extra long road and I only hope I'll make it to the end to see what is there. Hopefully some food or at least some people who can spare some food.

I am.. trying to resist.. replying in this topic.. once more. :shock: Resist... resist damnit! Gahh, can't stop it.
---

I am abusing a girl over 20 years younger than me and trying to get the most out of it before she breaks my heart - they always do.

I am burying strangers in a lonely place and toying with hunger, wondering how could I ever go back - or do I even want to?

I am working to earn me some clothes but it's so dreadfully boring! I bet he doesn't know the value of his trade articles. This shop could use a new manager with some business sense... hmm...

I am down with the sneezing sickness, for the second time in my life! :(

I am trying to please my girlfriend.

I am not alone, I just realized.

I am building a stone table in someone else's building. Let's hope no one comes.

I am a fifty-year-old about to receive oral sex... if only the other side would turn active again.

I am secretly in love with the town leader but how could I ever tell her? Maybe she thinks I'm too young, wants to be a mother, not a lover. I feel so alone... *sniff*

I am sailing to the unknown, nothing in this direction either, it seems. Or who knows maybe we passed something, I haven't been really looking.

I am pretty much in a standstill, I know I should get things organized but I'm only keeping myself busy and the others are drifting.

I am going home, or what was home for me for years in my life, though I will likely find it taken over by someone else. What then? Please, show me the way...

I am farming for tomatoes. Haven't yet checked who needs them but there's always someone who does.

I am on the way to start a smithy and I just got away with hurting an almost defenceless youngster. Hah, gotta love aging, finally I can do what I want.

I swore I'd never do this also, but I found it an interesting task in the end.


I am…a merchant, travelling to try and get hematite so that I can trade it for an iron shield. I might be useless with a weapon but at least I can have good protection from bandits and bad people.

I am…coping with responsibility and possible battle when all I really want to do is travel and see the world a little. I’m a well-established member of the community, yet I feel alone and empty inside.

I am…an explorer, wandering around places that others are afraid to go and happiest in my own company… finding some nice things along the way and amusing myself by writing unusual and often-twisted poetry to pass the time, while raining arrows on every animal in my path, especially those rabbit and racoon things that I’m not allowed to kill in my home town.

I am…a loner; constantly seeking out new things and now working to get iron so that I can make a fast boat and sail off to find even more new things. My reading skills are poor, although I’ve walked a huge distance guided by that nice Mr Treefeather’s map. I know the letters (abbreviations) on the map but find the full names harder to read, so I have to wait until someone says the name of the place before I really know where I am. Good job I have an excellent memory.

I am…taking an active role in the early days of a new community in the hills and enjoying the challenges, which are many.

I am…far from home, digging limestone…endless limestone…on a mission for my town and wishing I could dig it quicker so I can get home and tell them about the trade deals I’m working on.

I am…surrounded by the threat of danger, yet absolutely head over heels in love with someone and falling deeper every day. Life is a strange combination of dark and fluffy.

I am…trying to be a valuable part of a town; although I’m not sure I will ever fit in anywhere. If only I could find someone older and powerful, then I could live a life surrounded by everything I need, especially when they died and left me all their nice things.

I am…wild in nature and adore the forest where I live…slowly realising that I have a strong bond with animals, even though I am so proficient at killing them and my job demands that I do so. The bond scares me because it is growing all the time.

I am…slightly eccentric and looking for a place to call home. Looks like I may finally have found one, but that’s what I thought before. At least this place doesn’t have those damn toucans. Argh, I hate them.

I am…quite seriously eccentric and childlike in nature, although I now feel like I have an important job. My best friends are a coconut and potato, although I am scared to talk to them in front of too many people because of the way that people have looked at me in the past. I desperately want to be seen as normal, not silly.

I am...

...a simple woodcutter in a prospering village.
...travelling the south end of this island, considering joining the newly started post office.
...the new guard in a very friendly town.
...scared almost witless by these "sorghums".
...a common citizen in another prospering town.
...dreaming of visiting that large city next to this one, at some point.
...going back to the drawing board, after I was told that mountain doesn't have neither food nor animals. I want to found a village.
...a mason, taking some interest in local politics.

I am ... a former note thief now partially in charge of a town I stole notes from, and wondering if it matters to anyone ...

I am ... stranded on an island packed with hostile animals and wondering if the man with the key to the boat is EVER going to wake up...

I am ... A leader in denial, priest without robes, tireless worker and merciless hunter.

I am ... glad to be lost at sea, so long as we never find TBR again.

I am ... getting tired of gathering rubber. Gezze!

I am ... reconsidering exactly why I wanted to sail if it's that easy to get lost.

I am ... sailing around the world. Still.

I am ... still laughing at the assholes of Bob.

I am ... escaping, no I'm not, dodged that, ok I'm fine, ack! a saber, thanks for the onions, I had nothing to do with it.

I am ... still repairing things. Does it ever stop?
Reality was never my strong point.
