Would someone please tell me why it is I go home, and just about the time my eyelids start drooping - say, around 9:30 or 10 - I get into Hall sessions and stay up until midnight?

It's not even like it requires a lot of talking-into. Heck, half the time I'm initiating things. But come morning, I'm tired, and easily distra-

Pardon me, I just took twenty minutes to completely re-do the playlist on my MP3 player. What was I saying? Oh, yeah, easily distracted.

Yeah, I'm getting a lot of work done today... NOT!

It occurs to me that every time one of my Hall characters gets into a stable relationship, the person playing my character's love interest drops off the Hall. Zoya and Marten - and now Braz has a baby, and hasn't been on the Hall for over a year. Tarri and Sanriel aren't even married yet, but Ashby hasn't been online, much less on the Hall, since before Christmas. (I'm holding out some hope he'll come back, though. Not a lot, but some.)

It even happened on the "old" Hall, though not so neatly... Brighteyes and Erdian had a thing going, and Mike killed Erdian off. S'ayad'i and Felis had just gotten comfortable, and I had to go to grad school - which was not Chris' fault, but when the Hall was re-instated, he came back for about three sessions and then dropped off again.

I sure hope, now that Kevil and Loria are settling in, K.T. doesn't decide to drop out of sight. Maybe it breaks the curse that I'm playing across gender...

My mom offered, Tuesday evening when I was finishing up with helping Dad with his webpage, to take me out to lunch today. I hope she remembers. It would be nice to get out of the office for a bit.

Right. I keep drifting off. I'm going to go in search of coffee. But I might re-arrange my playlist again first.
