My Gamified Self, Year Nine

Nine years in, and I continue to cobble together a gamified dream journal and translate them into character points for a GURPS (3rd Edition) version of myself I set up almost 30 years ago (The Red Dawn rip-off games were horrible... horribly awesome!)

I continue develop into Tom Arnold's character Albert Gibson in a post-True Lies timeline

It's amusing that I've had some incredibly deep sleep during these trying times, yet my dreams are almost pedestrian.  What originally was a secret agent continues to to turn into mid-level management, perhaps Assistant Director of Counter-Terrorism Analysis - Personnel, or perhaps still in Operations Support.  Those guys always have a weird hobby like Literature or Taxidermy or building a boat in their basement.  This year was a lot "normal" management activities, with just enough times for some hobbies.  With the increase in Acrobatics, I assume I dodged out of the way of some runaway car, and then the true heroes of the True Lies universe take over.

301 points.
