*nods sympathetically*

How well I'm familiar with that.

I had a dream last night that my old boss
was standing in the hallway, trying to tell
me to email a message to someone in another
office, but I couldn't connect to the email
server. Meanwhile, there were kids at a PC
next to me playing EverQuest. *shrug*

Yesterday I passed a purple flowering plant
and my first thought was "augmentor".

I'm sure there are far worse examples out there,
so I'm only a *little* afraid.

May you speak to your family today.

My patner stayed home sick today. When I got home she said that she wanted something healthy, like vegetables. I though "Hey, we've got some spare!" but then remembered that those were the ones that were garnishing the fried Space Weevil Kryten made for breakfast. Lister didn't want to eat the vegetables, so he gnawed on the fried Space Weevil instead. And since Lister and Kryten are all part of Red Dwarf, and not reality, I couldn't offer her said vegetables.

Hah! My Total almost came out my nose; while that would not have been a pretty sight, it would have entertained Nicodemus, who is constantly in my face.

I thought Fried Space Weevil was a luncheon rather than a breakfast item, especially when served with Imaginary Vegetables. Then you said they both, and those consuming them, were part of an alternate reality, and having to wrap my head around this Escher-esque scenario made my mind glaze over for a moment, much like a Winchell's donut, which really *is* a breakfast item, unless you're in Quebec, where they think donuts are for dessert.

And I suppose this post would be <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/offtopic.gif" alt="" />

My friend tells me that he used to think various npcs/monsters from games he played alot where following him on his walks... hed acualy see them =x This is after staying up playing for 3 days then realiseing that he needed to go to the store...

The worst i can say is i sometimes would get game history mixed up with real world history... and sometimes i would wake up in a cold sweat in bed haveing the names of items and places and general knowledge from a few online games i used to play *some mmorpgs a few not* running through my head. I was never one for the level treadmill.. and while i liked items i never really felt like i needed to have them. What i did always feel like was that i needed to know as much about everything as i possibly could, all the places to hunt that noone does, what level who can do what, what level what classes get what, the stats of items that noone really cared about. How all the quests worked, all the little tricks that most people didint know.

I always viewed myself as a sort of lore-keeper type person.. just trying to get powerful always seemed boreing to me =x *altho i wanted it despratly, in a way i was able to replace charicter power with game knowlege and felt like i was powerful simply becaus i knew everything, it worked to.. i could get a group of people and becaus of all the time i spent learning and reading and whatnot i could organise them, if they listend, into a highly effective party, and then take them places noone even knew existed and all was fun and happy.. im braging here becaus it hurts that on average, i leveld about 6 times slower than everyone else=P*

Anyway now i dont mix real life and games up=x wich is kinda sad becaus it made life seem more interesting D=
