Rose. Rose Davidson.
I start off most of my long rambles about her in my paper journal with her name. Perhaps that's the key that lets me unlock her mind and her universe for my easy access. I know both of those inside and out, since I created them, but yet not, since some aspects of it were found, not created, and I have yet to discover all of the details.
It's like that, sometimes, having a character sharing the same ...why do I want to call it "namespace"? ...in your mind. Someone on the same working area. I have all this hardware in my head, and it's running my OS, but at the same time, there is, off in the corner somewhere, the OS that's called Rose Davidson by most of the world, and that somehow has the ability to tap into an entire different universe, one that bears a shocking resemblance to our own.
Rose was me, once. She was an idiot freshman in high school at the same time I was, going to the same school, same experiences, same idiot friends.
Something changed, though. Her life continued on the road that I'd planned on taking, did the things I'd planned on doing, while real life continued to happen to me, confusing the hell out of me. Some of those things leaked over to her universe, but for the most part, she's struck out on her own since my sophomore year. Junior and senior years, mine, never happened, for her, but she did end up going to DeVry too, after a year or two waiting for Regan, at college at home.
...it'll be interesting, getting more in touch with her.
