I'm thinking about writing a stand up routine where we talk about our DID in joke form. We have designed a special script so that if one of us gets triggered, we either pick up where the last guy stopped or just have new material to mess with the audience. -NicS
Now all we have to do is write the friggin' material.
We have a great basis: Our ######6 story. We only remember the more notable stuff, and the rest is kind of a grey area we pick up every once in a while, right? Thats our connection to our audience. From there, we slowly open up the mental illness door to show that were not all ######6 crazy people. Then we get into more personal stuff, break for a second to explain why people think DID isn't a real mental illness, and then go back into the personal stuff, then end on recovery. Thats the basic outline, that's how we usually do it. Any good writer will tell newbies that you need a foundation, or what you want to write about and the emotion attached to it. Without these two things tied together, any story falls apart. You need a basic story, then an emotional attachment. That ######6 simple.
For Nic, he likes the more happy & nice routine that has extremely offensive material peppered in to question his "Character" like "I put more locks and barriers up than Anne Frank", that sort of thing. I LOVE angry, dark humor. I ######6 love it.
We know for a fact that there is a particular sound that helps get Zack in back should he be triggered. We found this out when he was playing Splinter Cell years ago, and triggered an alarm. The following sound blared rather loudly:

Nic was in front, and Zack said he didn't want to go in front. Should Zack be triggered during a performance, we have a 4-12 second time zone where we can play that sound, or else Zack starts panicking.
We will be working on writing the actual bits soon, and may be uploading some of it on here, like we kinda did when the blog feature was introduced.
Hopefully all goes well. Merry Christmas, and a pleasant new year... OK, Christmas is over. GO NEW YEAR, 2012 KIDS. WOO ######6 HOO.
