Thread: Task of the Month for February 2009

No progress on the Cupid's Bow task, but on Friday I managed to remember that I was supposed to hug Clairity after I fell back asleep. Unfortunately, time kept skipping in pockets around the scene, different people slowing down or moving so fast I couldn;t see them, and I wasn't able to do anything.

But it's sort of progress! I'm hoping that being able to visit the lucid task thread and Clairity's hug thread again will help.
Interestingly enough, I have not seen a single cherub this year. Just hrearts. And stuffed puppies and bears.

Edit: I just got a good idea. I shall focus tonight on a rose similar to that on this delicious box of chocolates the store was practivcally giving away, and I shall give it to claurity, useit to remind me of the lips on her avatar, or extend it into Cupid's bow like a magician's wand into a sword (at which point I shall go Clairity-hunting )

Hey, the power of association.. that's one way to go about it! Good luck!!

Hey, it worked! I was in the Aperture Science Testing Facility from Portal. One of the targets at the end of the level was a bunch of flowers, and that reminded me of Clarity. I wanted to finish the testing before finding Clairity and giving her a hug, and I remembered even after I dropped the flowers. I would have been able to do it, too, if GLaDOS hadn't stopped functioning properly and left me sealed in the last test chamber (a different final chamber than the one in the game).

I even thought about a crossbow one or two times with the portal gun, which may or may not have had anything to do with the cupid'ss bow task.

So! One step closer to completing the task!

So far, all my LD are DILD. This time (for this month's task) I decided to try WILD and see what happens. .... Now, I am not sure what happened, but this is what I have to say.
I started with some breathing and relaxsation excersises... kind of becoming very still, not thinking of anything...
and then....
I SAW a face of a little girl, long blue hair...It was so vivid - I made a drawing afterwards . I wasn't 'seeing in my mind' or anything similar...I simply saw her. And she looked back at me.... I liked her but there was something 'blue' about her....
I thought it was Clairity as a child. She looked at me and I got like the whole story related to her...even some names...
However, I forgot to hug her!!!!
I do not know what was it... my imagination working overtime? but it was realy interesting experience.
(by the way, the segments from my story about this little girl: she's got grandpa and there is something sad about him. there is a cat, and/or someone named Kathryn or Kathy. And someone said : her middle name is Dawn. She is going to become an arhitect. ....she is kind of a lonely child but very WISE)
So I do not expect the wings for this month, I do not even know what was it... However, I wanted to share this experience with you.... There was something special and unusal in the whole thing...I cannot explain it now....
