I was talking with my husband the other day, talking about why Analese has gone on a bint about autism and Kami. I told him that Analese was getting annoyed with having to clean up after Kami bathroom-wise and he said that was bull, personalities don't have to use the bathroom.
This confused me. I rarely go into the house but I know there's a bathroom. Am I the only system that has people who use the bathroom?
And I have another question. When another person fronts, I hang out on the front lawn so I can see and hear what's going on. Granted, I can go inside the house and just turn on the television but I have quicker access to fronting in case someone who doesn't know about the MP's shows up. Basically, the way it works in my system is, you walk out the front door of the house, walk up the sidewalk and if you step onto the street, you're fronting. How does it work in your systems?

Date: 2005-03-19 08:13 pm (UTC)And no, I have never heard of a person inside having to use the bathroom before. The way I see it, is physical bodies have to use the bathroom. Spirits/other non-physical beings? Do they ingest solid food, pass it through their stomach intestines, digesting it before expelling it? Do they drink liquid, and filter it through their kidneys before expelling it? It's not a physical creature, of course it doesn't. It may have a 'digestive system' of a different nature, but not the same as ours.
There's likely other reasons for you having someone who does that. I certainly would be very suprised if it was common though, or something that they HAVE to do.

bathrooms and fronting
Date: 2005-03-19 09:51 pm (UTC)yeah. our roommate talked about bathroom stuff with her system and we were like uh ... and we checked in our house and discovered that we had a bath tub but nothing otherwise. we've since installed a toilet as well, as some people prefer that. the important thing to remember is that however your system is on the inside is alright. it's not abnormal or wrong - it's your system and it's okay. everyone's system works differently.
about fronting, for us we can front from anywhere inside. we think okay we want to front, and then we're front. sort of in a nondescript area in front of a black curtain, and when we go in, we end up back where we were. if we need to front where nobody else can access what we're doing, we can go inside the box, which is a metallic compartment. it seems to keep everyone out except one person, who seems to be able to pop out at any given time, to make random comments.
*grins* hey morgan you know we love you.

When someone here is fronting, they're sitting a foot in front of the TV in The Living Room. It's easy enough to know what is still going on in the headspace, or for people to co-front.

Date: 2005-03-20 12:53 am (UTC)Fronting, for us, is like going to work. You wake up, kinda look at the temperature outside, kiss your loved ones and then go off. And then suddenly *pop!* we're awake in the 3D or whoever decided to go to work that day.
We have an entire cityscape inside, haven't activly gone there in a while and it doesn't come up, but we have an inside too.
Hope this helps.

Date: 2005-03-20 06:04 pm (UTC)our fronting room, is just that, its a room, off the common room, and to front, you just walk in, and sit down in the big chair. if we have to emergency front(although everyone is practiced at being me)we just sort of...do.

Actually, no one has any business telling you that anyway, even if the laws of nature are radically different there.

Date: 2005-03-20 10:56 pm (UTC)We are a gateway system so there basically the same fluid removal happens there, trying to be "polite" about it. We don't actually have indoor plumbing, so we don't technically have bathrooms although we "go to the bathroom".
Getting to this world, well we have a gate so to speak, it looks a little like the stargate in the movie, but not so ripply. For a long time we didn't have any say in who was pushed through that was in the hands of The Siblings. But now we are at a point where there is a lot of choice, You can go through the gate and end up directly in the body, but we have also learnt how to step through but remain in the swirly light stuff, it's about like being under water but not so disorientating. Man this stuff is hard to explain

Date: 2005-03-21 08:40 am (UTC)fronting depends on who's taking who, and what kind of fronting their doing. but we 'take the face'. once we've glued in, were good to go. if were consciously attemping to front and having trouble, we 'let ourselves float'. and my face starts approaching 'the' face. once its locked in, the body comes pretty quick.
for geography, we've got 'fronting', 'in the head', and 'sublevel'. we don't know what happens to us when we go sublevel.
maybe ill try scanning our drawing of 'taking the face'.

no bathrooms tho, unless you count the gutter we use for a brain :)

Date: 2005-03-21 01:37 pm (UTC)It's kind of a dark and grey place, like one big dark room. We're not sure how big it it. And in one corner is a light... or a few lights, or something. One of us is fronted. The others are sitting around the light. Or standing. Or pacing, or sleeping. We can talk to each other and the person up front. When I look in (which I've been doing a lot since I started writng this), it feels like everything is behind my eyes. And everyone looks like themselves, not like the body. (Kami is Asian and standing there, maybe pacing but every time I look at in he stops and smiles at me. Rivvi is sitting on the ground staring into space and has this really long hair... she changes what she looks like a lot.)
We're not sure if anyone else is beyond the light or not, or if that's where Alex went, or much else. Usually I can't remember what went on while I was inside unless I think really hard about it. I remember sitting on the edge of the light a lot, and watching what was going on or memories or dreams. I don't really care what the inside looks like because I can't remember it anyway. Having a house does sound like fun, though. :) I would like the ability to make my own room and put whatever I want in it. Maybe once we've figured out more, we can start building something.

Date: 2005-03-22 07:48 am (UTC)We have a living room, and when you're "around the front" you're in the living room. When you're "fronting" you're in front of the big window. More than one person can sit in front of the window. Other windows can sometimes be openned up from anywhere else in the house as well.

Toilets: Why wouldn't we? Fronting: How we do it
Date: 2005-03-27 07:41 pm (UTC)Like some other people on this community we have a gateway system and our world is a definite place.
Most of our people never front at all, and don't want to. The way we're set up, someone is always at front, and other people can wander up front and join them. One can front from just about anywhere on Laura, although people like to use the KSOL air studio so that they can keep track of both worlds. People might be back a bit from the front, hanging out in the studio (like people were saying, "the town square," "the living room", "the porch" or "the sunroom") -- watching and commenting on the action without participating. "Backseat driving".
When there is something in the earth world that a lot of people back home want to see, it'll be ethercast back to Laura and picked up on Newsnet (CNN) or one of the public entertainment channels.
