Didn't get to Xanga today as I wanted to finish at least part of this mountain of Dream World work.
I will admit I'm still feeling weird about Time being one of the typecodes, and Void not being one. However I honestly think that's because I'm still trying to shove codes into the Neutral element although it doesn't work that way! 'Neutral' actually does function as a sort of Void stand-in, since I've always seen Void as a paradoxically creative force, rather than some "black hole of doom" thing that many media sources treat it as. Neutral works mostly as a "base" detached from the other elements, but I don't know... or maybe Void falls under Celestial, as that element deals with space? Huh. I'll have to review old info and see whether or not that would translate. But this is good, now I can continue with code cataloguing because dang this is time-consuming! I need to check this against three different sources, piece by piece, and then use that info to formulate an entirely new paradigm for the series. Hilariously enough I adore this work; despite the large amount of effort, time, and focus it demands, it's a product of wonder and imagination and that always makes it worthwhile.
Now if I only had a real desk and chair to sit at so my back and legs don't hurt all the time, haha. Ah well. I'm happy I at least have a place to sit and type!

I discovered The Reign of Kindo today, and their music is beautiful! This and this are my favorite tracks that I've heard so far. Also, I noticed they're tagged on Last.fm as 'jazz rock' as well as prog rock, which is interesting-- I've never heard of the former, but I will definitely have to browse that genre tomorrow. This is nice stuff.

Dude hold up I just remembered something that happened last night. Don't ask me what specifically led up to it, but I was talking to Chaos and Laurie and I think I asked Chaos if he could actively 'create' something with the specific energy I'd given him, since it was such a unique sort? Either way he ultimately ended up forming a pure black lotus. Imagine this shape, but with a smooth, uniform texture. Most notably, it was covered in 'dewdrops' that sparkled like diamonds, all delicate rainbow shards (this is the closest likeness I can get on short notice). It was absolutely stunning though. However the fact that it was a black lotus gave me an idea... so I used my Spark of Space abilities to form a doorframe, and told Chaos to put the Lotus "into it." When he did, it was 'absorbed' into the empty frame and turned it into a pitch black passage. I walked over to it, told them both to stay, and then let myself freefall down into it. Now this is blurry (as I was about 75% asleep), but I went WAY down and I think I landed in an unformed white mindscape first? I don't quite recall. Anyway I went back and then told Chaos to come with me, but we had to hold hands because I somehow knew that "no one but me can go in there alone." This time, we didn't fall... the darkness immediately blossomed into this gorgeous sort of opera hall-esque room. It, too, was all black, but there were strings of crystals hanging everywhere like spiderwebs, as well as big chandeliers on the ceiling. It was beautiful. For some reason this gives a similar impression, although it's too 'warm' in color... everything in there was more towards the blue-purple end of the spectrum as far as non-black shades were concerned... actually you know what, the beginning of this (obviously synchronistic) clip gives a VERY similar vibe to what it was like looking around the place. What are the odds! But Chaos and I were in there for about three minutes, not moving from where we had entered as we weren't sure what was in there, but admiring it nonetheless. I don't think Laurie went in, though... she had a very good reason to (concerning what I think that place is, but we'll talk about that tomorrow) so I don't blame her. Oh yeah, and upon exiting, the doorway pretty much looked like this, fittingly enough (except surrounded by empty space). Most importantly though, I just want to reiterate that the entire room felt really far down, in terms of distance. I think it's actually beneath the Tar room. If so then Laurie's probably right, but we're definitely going to have to look into that further before we make any assumptions.
Like I said though, I'll talk about that tomorrow. I just got hit by a wave of major fatigue so I'd really like to just go to sleep right now.

Tomorrow evening I have violin rehearsal for Christmas mass, but for heavens sakes I need to have that talk with Laurie before Friday! I'll have to just put everything else aside for the morning, schedules be damned. Headspace is more important as far as I'm concerned.

Now with that I'm off for today, good night!
