Weather, video games, Easter nails.

Oh boy this weather has been so dismal.  My mood seems to be so dependent on the weather.  It's been cold and raining, it even hailed yesterday!  I stayed inside like all day yesterday except to go over to my boyfriend's house to play Arkham  Asylum because he bought that and Arkham City just so he'd have a video game I'd be into too.


That's right, I'm not into all video games.  And I'm okay with that.  I don't need to pretend to love all video games to get attention.  I've worked at Gamestop, know what I learned?  There is a lot of shitty games out there and there is a lot of asshole "gamers." I just ain't hip to jive.  My boyfriend actually graduated from a private college as a game design major, which is funny because I'm sooo fed up with the gaming community.  Not everyone who games but the kind of people I'm talking about are always yelling, maybe "otakus," talk in memes and are just basically socially retarded.  Honestly I love some socially awkward people.  My older brother is an Aspie, but I love his social awkward quirks.  (Note:  Aspie:  One afflicted with Asperger's Syndrom, a disorder on the autism spectrum.  The disorder causes social and often motor impairments but those who have it are often very intelligent and have particularly strong interests. - source:  Urban Dictionary - it's legit!)  These "gamers" are really just cocky for no reason and like to brag about how long they played video games non stop and they didn't even shower just so they could game.  I do not find this cool and don't want to fucking hear about how you are a failure slacker who can only live vicariously in simulations.  


Of course I acknowledge that video games can be very fun.  Arkham Asylum seems fun, I lovelovelove Kingdom Hearts (as long as it is not Chain of Memories,) I like Harvest Moon, Pokemans, etc.  I even DDRed in my youth.  I just don't think you should be elitist if you play video games.  I don't care how good you are, it's not an incredible feat.  


Last note on the matter (for now), if you want to be attracted to me, or any girl for that matter, don't base it on how hot it is they play video games.  Guhhhh.  Like me for my intellect, that I'm an active reader, that I'm hardworking, that I love my brothers so much, that I'm learning how to tap dance, or that I play guitar.  Something, anything but games - they're just not what I would want to be respected for.  


On a happier note, I got my nails done today!  I got them with Easter in mind.  ;)
