Session Notes:
I have asked Sebastian to keep a journal of his day to day
experiences and thoughts. I am sure this will improve the
progress of our sessions.




The Blackout of 2003. I was in the middle of a stimulating chat session with my online buddie, mapleLeaf42, when the power went out today. I felt utterly cut off from the world. No, computer, no internet, no wireless communication... I also tragically, lost my high score in Return of the RedWood. I guess it was fortunate that, being fake, I require no water or food and I can't really dry out in the heat. I am quite suitable for survival.


Today was another rainy afternoon. Of course, I spent it playing Planter 5.0: Rise of the Cypress Garden. It is an online interactive fantasy game. I currently hold the high score record and have achieved Great Oak status. I recently battled two intergalactic space weeds and now control English Botanical Gardens in five different star systems.



Tonight I watched an episode of Star Trek: TNG. It was the episode where Data attempts to understand humor, but fails quite miserably at it. I can certainly relate to his desire to become more human. He faces ridicule and prejudices, and many of his attempts are in vain. I truly believe Data is one of the most sympathetic fictional characters of contemporary television.



I hear the weather is to continue on splendidly today with lots of blue skies and sunshine. Not that I would know of course. I am only an artificial house plant and nobody would ever think of giving me a little sunlight. Just because I cannot photosynthesize I AM FORCED TO LIVE IN THE SHADOWS, banished to the top shelf in the only room without a window. A real plant would not suffer so. But I am not bitter about it, at least.



I decided to pass this evening with a bit of reading from the Shakespeare's Twelfth Night. If you didn't realize, my name harkens from this very play. The plot of course is about disguise and mistaken identity. I am sure my cooky therapist will psychoanalyze that.
