I have a strong suspicion that my character's theme songs are actually just tracking with my own life-state assessments. That make sense, really, considering my age and stage in life. Ibrahim has always been very shallow in the sense that he's been built around many aspects of my RL personality (particularly when it comes to interests, knowledge, background, current angst, and the day to day fill-in of activity). But that has only ever been superficial; fluff added on top.
Lately the melding is much more complicated. It felt odd that this particular piece is resonating not just with me but with the character. When I stole from my RL to fill Ibrahim out it wasn't to make him a surrogate. He is still just a character. That said, my attitude in life meshes so well in particular instances (not that circumstances are even remotely comparable). I guess if you're not a particularly creative RPer this is bound to happen. The accidental mixing of yourself and your character. But as an RPer (or a pseudo-RPer) I think the character got away from me and now has unintended motivations for which I must account and with which I must deal.
Anywho, this.
