"I get all hyper focused and fidgety and irritable."

"How'd that happen, what were you aiming for with the design?"

"Ability to keep my mind on track rather than having sleep derail it? That's probably not really a good description of what I was aiming for but it's the best I have."

"I want to get around to sleep-skipping eventually but the opportunity cost isn't amazing with the lucid dreaming."

"I would happily trade what I have for lucid dreaming."

"It's fun! But I still have to spend a lot of time on it compared to what I would normally choose to spend on pure recreation."

"Can you manage to get non-recreational things done with it at all?"

"I can, like, plan my day, organize my thoughts, but it doesn't take eight hours."

"The eidetic memory doesn't help?"

"It would if I were writing a book or something, but I'm not. I guess I should consider writing a book."

"Do you have thoughts on what you would write a book about?"

"Definitely something about magic but I don't know what specific subtopic most needs another book."

"Honestly I think a lot of subtopics on magic could use more books."

"They really could. I'm on and off into editing Wikipedia but they don't exactly let me cite personal conversation."

"I spent a few months editing nearly full time during school but have successfully cut down to more reasonable expenditures that don't involve my skipping sleep nearly so often."

"Hyperfocus thing?"

"A bit, a bit just really liking the entire infrastructure and rules Wikipedia is based on. It's really satisfying how everything works and how there's a system for everything and I can play a part in it."

"I love Wikipedia but it's surprisingly fighty under the hood!"

"I think that's mostly concentrated in the more controversial articles, and there's a lot of work put into keeping things working even when there's a lot of fighting."

"Controversial articles, like 'hummus'."
