This morning i was laying in bed and looking through a binder that i have dedicated to the first volume of our game. It's all the original stories we wrote with all the original details and "drama".
It's strange how much things have changed since then... We didn't care that the events were unrealistic. Cheyenne would never cry a river over deciding between Jeff Labar or Eric Brittingham. But at the time, that didn't matter. We made ourselves seem pathetic in order to create drama in the story and to have fun. Those were the most enjoyable scenes we have done. We agreed. But now, things are more realistic. We make decisions in the game as we would in real life, for the most part. There are no midnight runs to McDonalds with groupies named Candy and Nancy. There is no one night stands with Jon Bon Jovi. There is no back stage fights and African American cops trying to steal Tom's scarfs. Fred doesn't get in fights with Tom over Kayla. There are no Gothic clubs in Hawaii where blow jobs given in plain sight is acceptable. There is no playing hide-and-go-seek in the recording studio. There is no poptarts or Steak nights. Nikki Sixx doesn't agree to date Cheyenne for a pack of cigarettes. Fred doesn't recite Romeo and Juliet on the balcony of a hotel for Kayla. There is no paparazzi waiting for us at the hotel.
What there is now is: Jizzy, Eric's best friend and an alcoholic perv who will hit on any chick, despite if they have boyfriends or not. Ryan, Robin's sweet baby brother who has a crush on Cheyenne.
Things now are taken at a much slower pace than they use to be. We've spent over a month trying to get Tom to ask Kayla on a date. Eric and Cheyenne are still not together. But, temptation is always fun to play. We tried it one way, and now we are trying it another. That's what makes this game fun, to me. It's the several different ways you can play to end up in the same spot. Or sometimes, we don't end up in the same spot.
This game has always been a way for me to escape. It's been good to me for several years. Actually, I've been doing this since i was thirteen years old. Only now, i have someone to share it with. Cheyenne. It means the world to me that she decides to play with me often. If not, I'd be back to writing everything in notebooks and stuffing them in a cardboard box only to be put into storage to look at again in thirty years.
