We Are The Champions!

SUCCESS! As you can all see, I am now, and for as long as I have this blog, known as Teague! I HAVE WALKED THE PATTERN, AND MADE MYSELF REAL!

*spins in circles until she falls over*

It was the rename code. I had to purchase it. And now it's mine...MINE!

BWAHAHAHAHA!

*more mad scientist noises*

I shall have to think of a proper way to celebrate.

How about an informal survey

Too lazy to make an official survey.



Curls. Love them, or leave them?

On the Importance of Names

alter ego
n.
Another side of oneself; a second self.
An intimate friend or a constant companion.

I know I seemed abit rabid over getting the name teague. No one complained, mind you, but I feel like explaining it all anyway. Teague is actually one of my oldest, and longest running characters. I started him out as a lowly first level half elven ranger/cleric of the goddess of the forest. Befor it was all over with, he had gone to Ravenloft and back, and was a member of the Harpers. Or at least on his way to being. After that game died, he was still rattling around in my head, so when I began to play Vampire the Masqurade, he was reborn as first an Inquisitor, chasing one of brujah's Brujah around until someone finally plugged him in the back (my husband's character, ironicly) and he was embraced because she didn't want to give her favorate lil priest up. So I played Teague the online Brujah vampire for a long time, and made several new and dear friends. Now Teague has *many* character incarnations. I've played him in Shadowrun, Star Trek, and even as both Jedi and Sith in Star Wars. (Technically he makes a better Jedi, but as a Sith his fall is deep and graceful. Plus he's so much fun to turn.)

At this point Teague truely is my alter ego. I can use him to explore my masculine side, and issues of faith and religion. He is the part of me that is enduring, and heroic, and brave. He's shy like me, but strong, and flexible. There are times when I look at a situation and think, "What would Teague do? Would he find this worthy, or just snort and walk away?" Teague is faithful. He is loyal. Sometimes he is too unbending, and he's easily broken when you know his weakness. And even when at his most moral and good, he is too facinated with life's darker side. neintales plays both of his more common consorts, Santiago and Devid. Santi is a truely evil creature, and their relationship is often complex with shades of dominance and submission. Devid is usually more of a wounded heart, who looks to Teague for support and caring he never got befor in life. Santi is often his passion and guilty pleasure, but Dev is often his true love. There are paths that Teague would choose to take that I would not.

So, that is why it was important to get the name. It was worth the squeeking, and the 15 dollar name change token. Teague is loved. He is my buddy, and inner companion. He is an important part of my inner monolog. And he's someone I don't mind sharing with others.

Oh, and a warm thank you to those of you who actually *did* try and help me register the name. You guys are wonderful, and special. It makes me feel very good to know that I have friends who care enough about me to take even afew minutes of time to work on something that means something only to me really.

Live Journal Improv

I said earlier I was thinking of sharing some of my Teague stories. Thing is, I have so many. So let's make it entertaining. Hit me with a Genre, and I will try to at least write a scene, if not a short, short story, and include Teague in it.
