Indulge My Self-Indulgence.

Today, walking to lunch by myself, I passed a group of coworkers eating together, enjoying the sun. The though that passed through my head was "Life is kind of like a party I haven't been invited to." I walked heavily across the street in my big black coat to order my food.

No, I reasoned, if anything, life is more like a party where I declined the invitation. Can't make it, I have a pity party to attend that evening. In fact, I think the truth is that I keep declining new invitations all the time. "Now why do you do that?" I asked myself. I didn't have a good answer. "Is it related to the reason you look down at the ground after you say hello to someone in the hallway?" I still didn't have a good answer.

One of my coworkers looked over at me as I passed and gave me the peace symbol. I flashed one back and continuted on my way upstairs. Cool, not invisible just yet. Just because you miss an invitation doesn't mean you have to close down the mailbox.

It's nothing. Just a bad head day. But at the same time, maybe I should go with those friends to movie night on Thursday...

Geeky. Tired, But Geeky Nonetheless.

You'd probably have to play the game to understand half of them. OK, most of these. Hey, I never claimed I wasn't a geek obsessed.

You know you've been playing too much World of Warcraft when...

...you go into the refrigerator to slice yourself a nice piece of Dalarian Sharp.
...you hear a band-aid ripping open and expect to see red plus symbols swirling around you.
...while walking to work, you forget that, in the real world, the other players in town cannot run right through you.
...you've made up lyrics to any of the Cities' theme music. ("Sto-o-o-rmwind, Pride of the Allies; Fly Like the Griffin, Sto-o-o-rmwi-i-i-ind...")
...you write paeons to your pet. "This is my Voidwalker. There are many Voidwalkers like it, but this one is mine. My Voidwalker is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life."
...paying someone to farm XP and gold for your character while you're at work starts sounding less and less like an unreasonable idea.
...you spend the whole day at work in a daze writing a dumb list because you were up so late the night before, doing easy quests for extra silver.
