What games are to my life.

Mon Dec 21, 2009, 3:32 AM
  • Mood: Rant
  • Drinking: Sunkist Orange Pop
Anyone who knows me knows that I love video games. What I doubt anyone is aware of is how important they truly are to me. I honestly don't think that even with my close friends and a woman I deeply love as factors in my life that I could truly live without video games. I know it might seem shocking, horrifically pathetic, or even psychologically worrisome to some people. However, to someone like me, games aren't simply a hobby. They are a source of comfort and fond memories. They are an area of very serious study. They are one of the few conversational methods I have that helps me meet and relate to new people. They are even an insight into the tastes and psychological processes of others (by seeing what games they like and why they like them).

People with Asbergers Syndrome (like me) tend to make their little interests and obsessions into a major part of their life, and I am no exception. If I woke up tomorrow and video games mysteriously disappeared off of the planet, I would probably collapse into a little whimpering ball and have the mother of all nervous breakdowns (probably refusing any contact from anyone except my close friends, my family, and Anna). It is a major part of my life, one of the biggest defining factors of who I am, and it always will be.

I wish it was easier to explain. Even now, I am sure some people reading this will think it's more a sign that I need psychological help (those who don't think that already XD), that the idea of making something that to them is so petty and minor as something that important is...unfathomable. However, that's who I am. I just wish I could make a quick and palatable explanation so I can stop the "are videogames your whole life!?" comments.

The entire reason I got this was a kind of way of communicating with certain people reliably. While I have a modest amount of skill at writing, I am NO artist in the strictly visual sense (I want to rectify that, but I don't have the time or patience to watch how sickeningly badly I suck at anything of the sort over and over again)

J00r velcome. I miss seeing you, fellow hermit (last times I've been at the flat, I was absconded to Jane's or you were asleep). We need to hang out and co-hermitate again sometime.
