Yeee, went to con, likewise yeee, no more cons for a while. Good to see old friends, otherwise complete waste of time.
I realized a thing; I am not a nerd and have only ever really been a nerd because I grew up with nerds and for a long time that was the only thing to do and after that the easiest way to be friends. I'm not NOT friends with these people now, I just...
...wow I don't fucking care even a tiny bit about sci-fi or fantasy, whether modern or classical. I do not want to play any board game or tabletop game that is not amusing on its own merits, or to plot strategy multiple turns ahead, or fuck around with tokens of multiple types. I only cosplay people who look awesome and get me attention.
I've been living a lie, haven't I?
Shit.
I've been a theater kid the whole time. I thought I was a nerd for a decade and a half, but no.
EDIT: this is not a fucking joke. This shit broke my world open this weekend. Maybe comment a photo of a soothing landscape or something? I'm shaken.
