just one more thing i'm addicted to

[erika]

Still not really talking to anyone about my emotional state, but VE passed this on today and I had to share (you'll understand when you read it):

No Son of Mine Plays Oregon Trail Like That~!

I'm not really sure whether I'm supposed to identify with the father or the son here. I think I'm supposed to identify with the son, who just wants to play a video game, dad, jeez.

But I totally identify more with the father. THAT SITUATION WOULD UNDOUBTEDLY DRIVE ME TO DRINK. I mean, DON'T YOU KNOW YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO BUY ANY FOOD!? YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO SHOOT GODDAMN BUFFALO. THAT'S THE POINT. AND LET THE FUCKERS FREEZE, FOR CHRIST'S SAKE.

I THOUGHT I WAS JUST KILLING VAST AMOUNTS OF TIME, WHEN REALLY I WAS LEARNING PROFOUND LIFE LESSONS.

GO ME.

ALSO POSSIBLY PROTECTING YOURSELF AGAINST PTSD. YES, SERIOUSLY.

WOAH. NEXT TIME I'M TRAUMATISED BY SOMETHING, I KNOW WHAT I'M GOING TO GO HOME AND DO.

AND THAT'S PLAY TETRIS, FYI.

TETRIS IS NOT AN ADDICTION.

IT'S A LIFE SKILL.
