First ~ a backstory about me:
I work hard 40 hours a week and I KNOW I am good at what I do. I'm grossly underpaid - and thats life. My biggest strength, at work, is how effeciently I use our computers. I'm conceeded enough to say that I am probably the best in the company with that damn computer. (I don't usually give myself any type of praise FYI)
After work, I go home and play anywhere from 4 to 16 hours of a MMORPG ... Everquest. I own 2 accounts and play them both at the same time. Yes, it is a SICK obsession. I know it. I don't care.
Before I discovered Everquest, I constructed webpages then destroyed them - just to pass the time. Its a hobby. When I am bored, I find my way to a computer - open Notepad - and just type endlessly. I rarely sleep ... and when I do ~ my head is 2 feet from the keyboard.
*~*
Now you understand that when I went away Saturday morning - and came home Sunday night - having spent the whole weekend away from a computer THATS SAYING SOMETHING!
But its not really saying anything at all .... because I didn't miss it for a single moment.
This weekend I went shopping (which I don't do well). I played chess (which I haven't done in years). I ate cookies (I do that well
) I got my ass kicked learning a couple new games ... I felt awkward and uncomfortable a lot of the time and outright lost. I was extreamly self-consious in part from a deliberate isolation of one of my two hosts, and in part because I always feel that way.
However I spent the majority of this weekend with a new friend - whom I learned everything I could about her. She facinates me and makes me crazy. Sometimes, I like to be crazy. I've had to make several threats of bodily harm (Like I said, I got my ass kicked on nearly every game we played) but I never played one out. I'm all talk
.
And because I got to spend time with my newest friend - I feel this weekend was far from lost. I'll always remember it fondly (despite moments of awkwardness and heartbreak) ~ and I wish all computers would blow up at home and at work so I'd have an excuse to go back, fight fatigue, and let her slaughter me at another game.
No worries ... when I'm teaching the game or I allow myself to start cheating again (ooo ... I'm a kick-ass cheater), the tables will turn.
Thank you - friend - for a facinating weekend.
