For the most part, I don't use my puppets for substantial posts. There are a lot with ten or fewer posts. Only three with many posts. At one stage I was wondering whether my third nation would over-take my first nation in terms of post counts but I got over the reason I started posting with that nation and returned to this one.

It's like my Runescape accounts. Quite a few of those, only two that actually got any sort of development. And blogs. Heaps of those. Only one with more than five posts.

I did plan for the Fuzzball to get somewhere, but I lost a bit of interest in it. I currently had 3(Possibly) out of 50 with more than 10 posts.

Someone overheard one of my friends (jokingly) call me a whore and then started up a conversation with them where it was clear that they genuinely agreed. In my earshot. That's rude, people, don't do that. (Also imo the other person is wrong. I'm not a whore.)

Because these dreams are typically fairly realistic there is sometimes a real world thing that I can check. Other times it relates to some sort of problem and if the memory resolves the problem, I can usually be certain it didn't happen. The last time this happened it was actually both so that helped.

Sometimes, though, the wandering mind is useful. For instance, some months ago I found a textbook of mine in my brother's room. There was absolutely no reason why it should've been there. The subject doesn't interest him at all and I wouldn't have put it in there myself because we don't get along and it's pretty messy. Then a few weeks ago we're going home from wherever we were and my mind drifts off a bit and I'm thinking about this textbook for no particular reason. The strangeness of where I found it weighs on my mind and I decide that if there was no reason for it to be in his room then why is it unreasonable to think that my passport could be there? Sure enough, in pretty much the same place one (current) passport. A fortuitous find because, despite being 19, I don't drive and therefore my passport is literally the only multi-purpose form of ID I have.
That it Could be What it Is, Is What it Is

Stop making shit up, though. Links, or it's a God-damn lie and you know it.

That has crossed the real of ''oooh'' into the one of ''that's creepy''. Do you have any idea why, seeing as you and your brother do not mesh, for that textbook and your passport being in his room?

Planning something and then losing interest is me all over. One of the reasons why I like the short story contests over in A&F is that they give me a reason to actually finish something. Sure, I don't exactly spend very long on each story but those that I start for them I usually finish. I have some many random exercise books with stories that were started, worked on for a few hours and then rebooted months or years later only for those to finish in the same way.

One of the reasons that I draw very quickly is that I just don't have the temperament to return to something again and again. My drawings are, also, typically more what one might consider to be concept sketches as well. Loose lines and not part of a scene.

Best explanation is that I put my passport and this textbook together thinking, "Well, I need both of them and therefore won't forget where they are" stopped needing the textbook for a while, forgot about it and then someone else (presumably my mother) was tidying up a bit and it got shifted into his room along with some other things. I may even have moved them in there myself, if they got mixed in with some other stuff that's his. I'd look in the corner of his room to see if there's any further clue but, despite the time being 1pm, he's still asleep. Which reminds me that I still haven't had a proper breakfast (some crisps, L&P and a biscuit does not a breakfast make).
