Best Sentence #83
I woke up screaming last night. Yes, I had a dissertation panic attack. Kiyash slept right through it. But Meche climbed into bed and helpfully sat on my hand until I calmed down. When I finally got back to sleep, I dreamed I was rooming in some kind of a religious studies dorm in New York City with my twin sister Kelly.
The best sentence(s) below are a call-back to the IM I posted yesterday. I finally figured out what to say about Castells' cryptic closing remarks!

In The Rise of Network Society, Manuel Castells describes the coming culture of real virtuality as a world “where make believe is belief in the making” (375). In other words, persistent play may ultimately lead gamers to cease marking the difference between their habitual participation in sustaining an illusion and the practice of everyday life.

Checked your sentences from #1. You certainly must consider a movie like "The Last Starfighter" when discussing gaming and it's relationship to wet reality vs. electronic reality. The discussion was recently further advanced in South Parks "Golden PSP " episode. One other aspect to consider is the way RPGs which begin as games transform into online communities via their chatrooms in such RPG gaming sites as "The Kingdom of Loathing". Lastly, I would wonder if any statements regarding active gamers vs. "lurkers" or in wet reality; participants vs. spectators have occured to you. Good luck with your disertation. Is life any more than a game with everchanging rules?
Ah, yes the "dissertation freak out"; I know it well, but do not have anyone or anything sleeping with me to alleviate the symptoms thereof.
