I would like to thank the Kardasians

... for this boost to my self esteem.

Sometimes frankly, I think my interests are puerile and embarrassing. I mean, roleplaying games, really? Even within the world of tabletop gamers, the "cool kids" are off playing FATE or Dogs in the Vinyard or whatever, not Pathfinder or D&D. Am I getting a little bit old to be still finding escapism and joy in basically the same escapism that helped me survive freakin' high school? I'm getting old, shouldn't I be doing community volunteer work or dating or something instead? The stereotype you get of single older gamers is not complimentary, not at all; I feel desperately ashamed of where I fit the stereotype, and worry that I'm about to fit the stereotype when I don't. Am I just totally pathetic?

And now I know the answer is NO. It could have been any completely pathetic piece of what I'm supposed to believe average Americans like, but thanks to timing, this experiment in vapidity came right when I was feeling unusually lame. The most lame-ass I ever get is still being creative, or hanging out with my friends and being creative, rather than obsessing over a batch of mean and stupid rich assholes. What I glean from the unavoidable media hype is that apparently there was some sort of marriage and it didn't last, and frankly even this little amount of my time wasted on it is lamer than every alignment-based argument I've ever been in, combined.
